Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-09-06
By MARIAN HALE

Two extremes Of fashion meet ir
this picture, and both are the last
word in style.
The upper one confirms the rumoi
that hats are going to achieve pro
portions that will make the old
Merry Widow sailor look like a
close-fitting turban.
The lower one Is an eloquent arg
ument in favor of the straight and
narrow.
OF course, we've had big hats this
summer, but nothing compared to
what we will have when winter
comes.
And when a hat has gone as far
as it dares go, and still be rated as
millinery and not real estate, then
the milliner keeps up the good work
by widening 1t with feathers and
plumes.
Can you imagine. how the above
hat would look after a ride home

Thurc B. Wiggielus perceived wider

will not return with his knowledge. He
was dead when his father found him
in his furnished room at 14O Norman
Avenue, Brooklyn.
When the young man, whose indus
try and interest in his work had been
noticed by his employers. failed to re-
port yesterday, they telephoned to his
father, Frank Wiggielus, who lives at
209 West 102d Street. The elder man
went to the room on Norman Avenue
which young Wiggielus had engaged
to be near his work.
Mrs. Elsie Anderson, his landlady.
said she had seen nothing of him since
the preceding evening. There was no
response to their knocking. Mr.. Wig

fascination that study of the after-life

man would take to attain a suspension

New Rate OH Gas
Expected Soon by
p. s. Commission
Supreme Court Decision
Will Aid i'll Farley on
Scale Which Nav Be
About SI.25 Within City

in view Of the decision Of the United
States Supreme Court, practically
eliminating the former statutory 30
cent gas rate as a basis for any dis
cussions Of new rates, Chairman Prem
dergast and other members Of the
Public Service Commission are now
hopeful Of getting ahead with more
facility toward fixing rates. 1t was
said yesterday at the office Of the
ed prior to the Supreme Court de-
cision among representatives Of the
gas companies, the city and the com
mission would be continued in the
hope that tentative new rate soon
may be fixed pending the final schedule
to be set by the commission for the
various com panes.
Such tentative a rate would benefit
the consumers, it was pointed out,
while the commission was reaching
final decision on just and equitable
rates rs determined from the great
mass of data and testimony taken on
the technical side Of the investigation.
The first round the table conference at
the suggestion of Chairman Prender-
CAST was held last week. Another con-
ference is expected to be held next
week
What the tentative or final schedules
may be for the Consolidated Gas Com
pany or it's subsidiary companies and
other companies in Brooklyn and sub
urban sections of the city cannot be
arrived al until the conference pro-
crosses further. The Consolidated not
long ago reduced its rates from $50 10
81 .25, and any new rate fixed by the
commission naturally will not be above
the latter figure. 1t is understood that
the commission hopes to find scale
close to the dollar mark, equitable and
lar to all concerned.
Corporation Counsel O'Brien again
pointed out that the decision Of the
Supreme Court related only to the years
1918 and 1919 and was got conclusive as
to what fair price for gas should be
under present-day conditions. The
Corporation Counsel expressed the
opinion that the S0-cent rate was still
fair price to charge consumers. and
said that the city authorities would
continue to fight for such a rate. or
even less. The responsibility. however.
he said, rested solely with the Public
Service Commission 10 fix an eouitable
rate, and that whatever it might be the
people would hold the commission re-
sponsible
