An important line OF thought for
those who are willing. and even anx-
ious. 10 serve the City of AnnapolIs Is
members Of the City Council would b
mat of obtaining more revenue for the
municipality without INCREASING the
burden upon the taxpayers Very often
only generalities and piatitudes are
heard along this line, and little which
promises real practical help.
Not only Is the burden on the peo-
pie of the whole county likely 10 be

count Of the loss 81 No much taxable

more City, but annapolis Is actually
losing revenue In spite 81 the fact that
the need for expenditures along many
lines Ii very pressing. There could be
no better way TO perform service for
the community than hnding some
method BY which more revenue can
be secured from sources which should
be required 10 furnish it
The suggestion was made In these
columns some time ago that the Fed
eral and State governments should be
asked to contribute something 70 the
support of the city, particularly In the
seonstruction and maintenance OF the
streets. No doubt every member Of
the Council favors this 60 an abstract
proposition, but the essential thing Il
10 deyise some definite method BY
which the City's claims can be placed
before the lawmakers Federal and
state. The whole truth BIZ the matter
is that Annapolis Is trying TO main

GOOD PEN SKETCH OF BERNARD BARUCH

Bernard Baruch of New York is
much in the limelight in various ways.
Here is pen sketch of him at the re-
cent industrial conference:
The leader of the group is Bernard
BaIuch, six feet two. probably, trim,
keen, open face, gray eyed candid as
to countenance, quick moving, decisive,
friendly, resourceful and as little sat
lstied with himself as a handsome man
dare be- He is the newer type of
American Jew. American life has
pressed almost the last vestige of his
blood from his mien. 1t is a strong
blood, but this is a strong civilization
we are making here, and in Baruch we
see the two forces graphing with one
another. And the western civilization
is fairly well prevailing. But he has
all the high vision that his blood en-
titles him 10, all the capacity for hon.
orable compromise, the ability to put
himself In the other mans place. He
Is facile. gentle and has tremendous

without the necessity OF dIrtylng any
Of the living rooms.
On the second floor are four good
bedrooms and the bath. Each bed
room is corner room, opening off a
central hall. This arrangement also
brings the bathroom close to the bed
rooms.
For the family living either in town
or on the farm this design win furnish
a home that will accommodate a good
sized family; it is modern in every re-
spect, and has most attractive ex-
terror appearance. The house itself
Is rectangular in shape, with stralght
walls, which makes for economy in
cost.
This is the time in the year when
home builders are busy studying plans
and deciding on the sort of house
they win erect next spring. There
are many types of houses to be con-
sidered. The bungalow is a city fa-
yorlte and is becoming more. and more

Christmas Decorations.

Everywhere women and children
are more or less engrossed with prep
arations for Christmas day. the most
Joyous Of the year for them. No one
can do too much toward celebrating
the greatest Of festivals in the right
spirit. for II shous1 he day OF re.
joicing. The interchanging of gifts is
all to this end. but this phase OF
Christmas celebrating seems overlonc,
and to occupy too much time and costs
too much money in late years; II
crowds out other and equally impor-
taht things. Everyone should share in
the good cheer at Christmas time and
extensive giving OF high-priced gifts
would much better be curtailed than
the Christmas dinner with the reunion
Of members of families and their
friends, the remembrance of the un.
fortunate OF poor. and COMPILATIONS

Some things cannot be omitted al
Christmas time, If it is TO retain its
significance The Christmas green's

Christmas candles and goodies and. OF
all the things the Christmas tree, must

popular In the smaller towns and ru-
raj sections; the story-and-a-half house
always Is in demand, as are the two
story houses Of various designs. How
ever, after all have been considered,
there are hundreds of home builders
who win pick the Dutch colonial as
the house they want. 1t has what is
nowadays termed "class."
Before deciding on the home build
ing design, it always is well to con-
suit with the material dealer, con
tractor and architect. These three
home building experts can materially
help the prospective builder with sug-
gestions that win save mistakes In
construction and make for economy In
the cost Of the home. And it is easy
for the amateur to make costly mis-
takes-mistakes that oftentimes bring
disappointment after the new home is
completed.

the suits interesting, There are at
least two advantages in models of this
Hiind--the style may be worn for a
long time, II viii pass out slowly and
admits of a great variety of decora-
tons.
In the suit at the left Of the picture
under-arm tucks and buttons appear
in an original and attractive arrange
ment with lines running horizontally
on the body Of the coat and lengthwise
below the belt. The coat opens over
IA vest and the cloth belt fastens
through a buckle at the front. There
is a small choller collar of fur.

tons In two sizes. and en- original cut
of the back Of the body assume The
responsibility of Distinguishing this
suit from its predecessors. A very
long and narrow sash of the material
slips twice about the waist and loops
over nj the left side. A wide turnover
collar fastens up snugly about the
throat. The skirts are both plain, one
of them trife longer than the other.
The length of skirts is very much d
matter Of individual taste ct present,
from six to nine inches off the floor.

With the beginning of the season
suits and dresses were presented In
a variety of silhouettes, and now that
the midseason is here, the public has
declared its preference Wide-hip, erin,
oline aAd peg-top outlines captured
md held their deyotees but nigh
percentage Of well-dressed people
pinned their faith to lines almost UNI
broken in suits, in dresses, and more
particularly In evening gowns. No
new aspirant has disturbed the stabil-
lty of the straight-line suit, and now
that manufacturers have tested out
the public, that IS the one thing they
are entirely sure Of. Therefore such
new suits as they are turning out for
present sale are variations of the
straight-line models.
Straight line" is not 10 be taken
too literally. 1t means silhouette
having little definition at the waist
line. Such as there is results from
belts and girdles and not from fitting.
The two suits shown in the picture H.
lustrate this point very clearly, and
also bring out the Introduction of new
features that vary the style and make
