Black Spanish
Lace Flounciings

1t is unusual to be able to
find these lovely Spanish lace
houncings in all-over patterns
SO in. wide.
Three very handsome new
ones have just come in to US,
one large and swirling, one
medium and very rich-looking
like velours embroidery over
the lace ground - the third
dalntier and more modest.
S5.95, $3.50 and $3.50 a yard.
With the intensified vogue
for black laces for evening
wear these laces should be in
great demand.

Queens Gas Raise Denied
Commission Finds Company
Made ~ 60 Return in 1920

The Public Service Commission yes
terday denied the application of tho
Queens Borough Gas and Electric Com
pany for an increase of rates. The
company, which serves the residents of
the Fifth Ward, Queens, and parts Of
Nassau County, filed schedules on July
10, providing for an increase in Queens
of from sl.l5 per LOCO cubic feet to
$1.50, with a minimum charge of 81 a
month instead of 40 cents. In Nassau
County the company sought to increase
its rates from S1.40 to $3.50, with Il
minimum charge of 81 month instead
Of 40 cents
The commission Investigated the
financial affairs or the COM anv and
found it made a return of ~ pei
cent on its investment for 1920. Tax
ing the figures for the first six months
of 1921, the commissions experts
found the indications are that the re-
turn for 1921 will be even larger
than in 1920

Many Things New for the Weekend
Store closed all day Saturday
F or thousands Of years that
same Old Sun,

said to be 866, 500 miles wide, has
never left the world in confusion
or darkness, but has come up on
time in its allotted place and gone
on keeping step with the great
movements of the Universe.
Empires have risen and fallen,
revolutions taken place in many
countries, COVER ments have
changed, but the course of the
great planet through all the CEN
turtles has never changed.
Man is the only creature on the
globe that ignores the Creator and
defies His right to arrange the har-
monies of His own world for the
happiness of it's people.
