P|NCH|NC EFFECTS
IN NEW CLOTHES
Mems Spring Styles Show a
Considerable Construction at
the Waist Line

Don't laugh at them; you may be
wearing those funny, crimpy, colory
clothes and furnishings that now are
on racks and counters of mems stores
If early showings are to be taken
seriously, and statesmen and price tags
convince one that they really are, man
is to resemble cross between wilt
ed bouquet and a tightly tied bundle
ere the autumn winds bring overcoats
and outward relief.
Suits are skin tight, the salesman
explained, as he reverently showed a
style of coat that didn't appear quite
unfolded. Seams almost crowd each
other to save expense, or cloth or
something other than the feelings on
any except a slender athlete.
and those are the conventional
lines?"
Yes, in single and double breasted
coats in browns, greens, grays and
black and white stripes. Would you
like to see the more extreme styles ~
Extreme is right. They are skin
tight, too. I naddition, the waistline
narrows to minus infinity, then the
seamless garment widens abruptly in
to a skirt effect that would allow mas
culine bustles.
Stylish, eh? and seamless, too
AS if to emphasize the skirt, deep
vents are cut in. The pinched waist
IS protected by reinforcement,
called a belt. 1t is less than half
belt that loses both ends of itself in
pleats.
Except for the flesh, the extreme
suits have little to pinch, for athletic
underwear also has lost considerable
Goth and silk shirts are thinner.
About the only holdover character
istic in the new silk shirts are gaudy
stripes. Dye makers classed the col
ors of the rainboy as "old stuff" and
went into new fields to supply shirt
makers. There are color symphonies
that fairly jingle, others that clash
and still others that frankly collide.
Yet all are stylish. Materials are as
broadcloths, crepe de chine are few
of them. Pussy-willow creations in
snow white with white floral figures
are particular stylish. They may be
had for $40 up.
And the ties speak for themselves
The man milliner has become an
economist. Felt hats are of small
crown and of extremely narrow brim
except the French and Italian import
ed creations. Two American hats
could be made from an Italian head
piece. The New York verdict is a
crown of only five inches with brims
from rs to inches. And all Amer
lean manufacturers have entered COM
petition in that one-eighth inch mar
gin.

SOLDIER AID MOVE
WOULD WEAKEN
BONDS, is CLAIM

Washington, March 4.-Leaders of
both parties in the house have deter
mined to oppose any soldier aid legis-
lation at this session of congress,
despite demands by organizations of
service men for bonuses, vocational
education, farm and home loans.
The position of these leaders is
that the value of the large amount
of Liberty bonds outstanding would
be jeopardized by the issuance of
additional bonds necessary to finance
any of the soldier aid programs,
which call for financial outlays rang
ing from s2,OOO,OOO,OOO to $16,OO0,-
100000.
Would Hurt Bond Holders
The market value of government
bonds, now around 90 cents on the
dollar, would drop down to between
TO and ~ cents, and 1t would be
necessary to make the interest rate
of thesoldier aid bonds bear 6 per
cent interest, Representative Madden
Illinois, member of the Republican
steering committee, and Representa-
tive Garner, Democratic whip, said
today. This much of decline in the
price of Liberty bonds would mean
a loss to the 100000 bond holders
of nearly $2,5OO,OOO,oOO, Garner
estimated.
In addition, the leaders say the
program would increase the initiation
of credit and send the cost of living
up another notch.

Yesterday Mr.. Gallatin in letter to
the Mayor explained the whole mys-
terry. This was what no said:
81 have received many inquiries as to
why the plot on the easterly side o.
CITY Hall Park Is being regarded. IL
was absolutely necessary that this work
pe done. In the winter tine melting
snow and rain ran from this lawn and
kept the surrounding paths in a con-
t,nual state OF slush and ice. This con-
dt,on has existed, / am informed, for
at least twenty-five years. The pumbe :
Of complaints received by the Depart
ment last winter decided me TO under
take this much needed Improvement.
The work will be OF practically no
cost to the city. The value Of the soil
which we are removing and which is
needed I'm other parks will more than
repay the cost of the labor employed.
The men doing the work are regular
employees of the Department who have
been taken from the various sections for
this purpose"
So it is not so mysterious after all.
