ness and equipment--not surren-
dered by the Germans under the

in an isolated workhouse near

ventories, and not given up as pro-
Yided by the armistice. these NUM-
tions become the property of the
United States.
A request for s12,OOO.OOO to pay

CROSSER BILL
WILL AID POOR
Supt. Roberts Claims Small
Quantity Coal Prices
Too High.

The Crosser bill. undermining
weights and measures and providing
that coal. ice and everything else
sold in the District of Columbia
shall be properly weighed. will be
taken up at the next meeting OF the
Senate District Committee. OF Which
Senator John Walter Smith, OF
Maryland. il chairman. it was an
nOunced yesterday
This measure is for the beneht
of the poor people OF the DISTRICT
Of Columbia. who suffer financial
losses BY buying coal and ice in
small quantities and by guess-work
as to amount they are getting Tor
their money.
George VI. Roberts, superintendent
Of markets for the District of Co
lunbia in explaining the provisions
Of the bill TO a representative OF
The Herald yesterday. pointed out
the urgent need for the passage OF
this bill.
Coal SIS n Ton.
Many Of the poorer people Of the
District" Supt. Roberts stated Duy
their coal by the bushel or the bag.
I bought one of these bags, and when
l figured up what a ton OF coal would
have cost me at the rate Nht bd6 VI
coal was sold for it aggregated APP
prOximately 81 ton
The bill provides for the sale OF
coal by weight only i'm the District
Of Columbia. 1t requires the sale of
ice by weight II may be sold any
way at present without being weighed
at all"
Il is claimed that the ice business in
the District is very largely controlled
by one concern, and that consumers
are compelled to take what is offered
AT any price that may be fixed. Many
OF these people state that although
'hcy believe they arc getting short
light they are afraid to complain
lC "'sear their supply will be cut off.
r.S!en now. it is pointed out, the peo-
re Of Washington cannot buy as
gualI a quantity as five cents worth

Sir Arthur Pearson, Guest

of the manner in which he is making
blinded English soldiers stenograph-
ers. carpenters, artisans and other
useful industrialists with the idea that
they are mot blind, but normal indi-
viduals who cannot see."
Sir Arthur arrived in this country
at the joint invitation of the Red
Cross Institute for Crippled and Dis
abled Men and the Red Cross Insti-
tute for the Blind in Baltimore, within

The sumptuous ribbons which the
looms have turned out, more than
anything else have inspired the design
ers Of dress accessories this season. 1t
seems these wide and gorgeous prod
ucts of the ribbon weaver's art, are
most beautiful when not too lavishly
used and are at their best when used
against background Of black or other
somber tone, that casts into relief their
wonderful colorlngs. Therefore they
appear in millinery in scarfs, over
blouses and bags to be worn with
gowns of dark and quiet colors.
At the right of the picture Of two
matched sets shown here, duvetyn is
used for the foundation of a three
piece set that includes a turban. scarf
and bag. This soft, glove-fnish fab
rie makes an ideal foil for the brill
lance Of tinsel brocaded ribbon in
which exquisite colors are blended
and enriched with silver tinsel shot
through the pattern. The ends Of the
wide scarf are bordered with the rib
bon which is finished with deep fringe
of knotted silk. The bag Is a we'll
balanced composition Of duvetyn and
ribbon with silk tassel. and the small

draped turban is made almost entirely
of ribbon having silk tassel like
that on the bag, for its finishing touch.
For more practical wear the set
made of duvetyn, shown at the left
Of the picture, also includes a scarf,
hat and bag, A dark and rich color
Is chosen for a set of this kind, and
1t dispenses with magnificence to con-
tent itself with smartness-therefore,
1t is made without ribbon. The hat
is an off-the-face model, draped with
consummate cleverness, and finished
with an ornament. The scarf ends in
big chenille tassels and fastens under
an ornament like that on the hat In
its arrangement about the neck 1t fol-
lows the universal mode for neck
pieces by its coy effect. They all
suggest a nice. warm place into which
the chin may snuggle down. A tassel
Of chenille makes the right finish for
the shopping bag that completes this
set.

Tailored suits continue to come from
the hands Of manufacturers in two dis
tinctly different types with The buying
public showing a preference for the
fanciful designs.
In the matter of decorations, fur is
widely but not lavishly used, and
carefully Gone silk embroidery is very
often used with it. Being of the same
character they look well together. AT
the right Of the two suits pictured
here there is a fine example of the
combination of fur and embroidery in
a suit of wool velours. The skirt in
this model has two narrow plaits at
the side and is very long. The coat is
a very handsome affair, uneven in
length about the bottom and having
wide panels, shorter than the front
and back, set in. They are banded
with two narrow bands Of dark fur.
Embroidery, in the same color as the
cloth, finds an advantageous position
at each side of the coat skirt. The
body buttons a little to the left of the
front with large, fiat cloth-covered but
tons, and there is high collar Of the
