Repaired Central Park
Drives Open for Traffic
Pavement on East Side Ready
for Use; Work on Other
Roads Speeded
Thursday, July IA, e:o1 p. m.
Friday, July Is, 900 p. m.

rl1udys july 10, 9:uU p. m.
Road repair work in Central Park is
going ahead, and some sections of the
new surface, especially on the East
Drive, have been opened for traffic.
The new pavement is OF the permanent
type and gives every promise that it
will not wear out in hurry. There is
a great deal still to be done in the
park, notably on the West Drive around
the Nlnetles. Here the road surface is
in very bad condition, and, in fact, has
been so for number of years The
grade between Ninetieth and Ninety
sixth streets apparently presents a
difficult problem.
A correspondent writes of the run
from Springfield to Boston: eve found
the roads by the route suggested,
White Plains, Danbury, Waterbury,
Hartford and Sprinfold, good, and
from Hartford to Springfield and to
Boston, excellent"
The heavy travel on Long Island
roads on Sundays makes touring un-
comfortable on the main roads. Driv-
ing on the north shore from out on the
lslanu, detour is met at ROSlyn. If
the motorist turns south here and runs
to the Jericho Turnpike he is apt to
find a jam of traffic late in the day.
This will necessitate slow running
down to Bellerose.
1t is better to stay right on Jamaica
Avenue and run into Jamaica than to
turn right and run to Hillside Avenue.
But in Jamaica it is impossible to avoid
congestion, which is especially great at
the point where travel divides. going
right toward Forest Hills or straight to
Brooklyn. The north shore doesn't get
as much traffic. and it is advisable to
swing straight on past Hillside Avenue
if one runs over that way from the
Jericho Turnpike, and SO on into Broad
way along the north shore.
The congestion at Jamaica is caused
by the center island traffic and the
south shore travel meeting at that
point.

do you haze these Silk Sales euery Julu:?'


Oh, mol. . Sales like this
happen only under unusual
conditions.
The silk market tumbled
-. That was the time to
prepare, and we did. But
now the market is recover
ing = growing stronger -
and these savings are all
the better for that reason.
Here's the proposition in a
general way:
$1.85 yard for $3.5O silks
to $3.50 yard for $3.50 to
$3.50 silks.
The entire sale lot repre-

Two groups-$2.95 and
$4.85

Bought when the silk
market was down, these
garments cannot be dupli-
Gated for less than half
again as much. We pass
on our good fortune to our
customers in offering the
two groups at these low
prices.
600 Nightgowns at $4.85
That one statement is
enough to stimulate inter-
est, for women know that
$4.85 is little to pay for silk
gowns. Add to that the
fact that these gowns are
made of good quality crepe
de chine, trimmed with
imitation filet or Val. lace,
and you see why this sale is
really an important occa-
sion. Three styles of gowns,
sleeveless models with
pointed shoulders or tiny
sleeves. Cut full in the
skirt.
And at $2.95
'24O Bloomers. Satin or
crepe de chine in flesh COL

TricOIette or
P0ngee Suits
at S39.75
Our S49. so grade
Our $49.50 grade

Silk tricolette sports suits
in summer shades have been
made for us so that we can
sell them at this low price.
Great care has been taken
with the tailoring to ensure
a chic air to this most de-
lightful of summer silks.
Tuxedo collar, patch pock-
cts and long string girdle
are features of the coat.
The skirt is the straight
gathered model. Colors are
orange, beige, royal blue,
flesh, black and white.
Another summer suit has
been fashioned of a novelty
tricolette; $45.
Pongee suits are decidedly
chic and very correct for either
town or country wear during
the summer. Two styles have
been tailored to sell at the one
price, $39.75. One suit spon-
sors the ever-becoming Tuxedo
collar and has set-in pockets
and string girdle.
The other has notch collar;
fastens with one link, is slashed
up the back and on the sides
and has Lanvin pockets. The
bound button-holes are hand
made and pearl buttons are
used.
Frocks
Imported dotted Swiss has
been successfully combined
with white organdie to fashion
a charming frock. The organdie
has been inset in strips into the
full skirt and used to form the
sash girdle, round collar and
cuffs. Colors are rose, Copen-
hagen and navy blue; $26.5O.
A taffeta frock has been Sc
cured to sell for $3.50 (early
in the season price $59.5O). A
saucy puff at each side, from
which flows a piquant, hem
stitched panel, is the dis
tinguishing feature of this
model. A basque blouse with
oval collar and short sleeves
finished with f1uting carry out
the spirit of the frock. Navy
blue and brown.

Good morning!
This is July 13!
The weather today
will probably be fair.
There is a city
on the other side
of the ocean

where ages ago Charles the En-
peror and the Duke of Saxony
both contributed to the structure
thereof.
1t was called Mine and Thine
to show the joint interest both
had in the place. In course of
time the common talk pro-
nounced the city name Minden.
as it is to this day.
This great property, filled with
new and ever fresh merchandise
and its convenicnces for the
public, could only be what it is
in its safeties and hospitalities
by the good friendship and mu-
tual appreciations between own
ers, daily workers and the
patrons of an ever improving
business.
The incident of the far-off lit
tie town by the river Weser and
its quaint name, Mine and Thine,
seems to fit perfectly this big
village of Wanamaker Square.

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-06-30

with it a forecast of opposition from
Bryan, who some time ago denounced
the national chairman FOR making
speech at a banquet given for Cover
nor Edwards, an avowed wet candi-
date.
Only Two Big Issues.
But whatever the varying strength
of the candidates may be the fact still
stands out as the convention gets
down to the business of making a
choice, that the prohibition and league
OF nations issue, still remain FREEDOM
irating factors and that their DISPOSE
ton is still inseparably linked with
the choosing Of a candidate.
| The decision of the platform sub
committee in voting down wet planks
at its night session, clarified the pro-
/ hlbition issue in partial sense and
narrowed the fight down to whether
the platform will contain a bonedry
| plank, as is hoped by William J.
Bryan, or whether it will contain a
"straddle" or ignore the subject en-
tirely. There are some who feel that
the convention would do we'll to pass
the subject entirely as the repub-
licans did at Chicago, but that con-
ficts directly with Bryan's announced
intention to have "a platform no wet
can run on"
Whether Bryan hopes to win or not,
he intends to fight in the old time fash
| ion which has furnished fire works for
many a democratic convention. He
stands by his determination to force
every delegate to record his or her
vote individually on the issue if a
plank which he considers wet" is to
be taken into the platform
! White House Hands OFF,
Although the White House has kept
its hands off the prohibition fight
there are administration leaders on
the ground who while opposing Bry.
ans bone dry plank on the one hand
are outspoken in their determination
that the convention shall do no pussy
footing, but shall make clear cut
decision one way or the other.
Chief among these is Postmaster
i General Burleson. 1t is understood
they are not eager for a roll call on
the issue.
There has been an informal count
ing of noses on the prohibition ques
ton and even the most ardent vets
agree that on a test vote a majority Of
: the convention would be recorded fol
dry plank. The more optimistic O.
the dry leaders say their defeat would
be by a majority of so votes and some
) Of them estimate the majority as higf
as 200.
