Changes in the layout Of street
car tracks in the downtown section,
to relieve congestion at Fifteenth
street and New York avenue north
west, is being considered by the
Public Utilities Commission, accord
ing to an announcement made yes
terday.
Plans drafted by the commission
would have the Capital Traction
Company lay double tracks on I
street from Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth streets and south on Fiji
teenth street to the Treasury.
A second plan before the COM
mission would have the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company
extend its FL street tracks west
from Seventeeth to Nineteenth
street. Adoption Of the first plan
under consideration would make
possible the removal Of two of the
four lines of tracks on New York
avenue from Fourteenth to Fiji
teentl street and from New York
avenue to III street. Under this
plan the Washington Railway tracks
would be removed from New York
avenue and the tracks of the Capt.
tai Traction Company turned over
that system at a reasonable value.

Still Draw Much of Inspira-

PARIS, Jan. 27.--Paris designers
continue. to turn toward the Orient
for their inspiration.
One of the newest materials which
they have brought forth is Persian
velours, a silk velvet as soft as the
downiest feather that e'er dropped
from songster and imprinted with
gorgeous designs interviewer with
threads of gold and silver.
This, by the way, is feat worth
noticing, this weaving threads of
gold into the velvet, all the time
preserving its remarkable supple
ness.
There are exquisite patterns of
flowers and geometric designs in
softeSt colors which blend together
and make one think of old Persian
fairy tales.
Very seldom is the entire robe
made of one printed piece. A mere
touch of plain color is needed to
heighten the effect and bring out
the rich coloring.

PACE BILL To BE
PASSED TOMORROW
Measure to Establish New De-
partment Has Unanimous
Support of Solons

ATLANTA July 11-That SEN
ator PAGES measure to create a
state auditing and accounting de-
partment will be passed by the SEN
ate tomorrow or Friday is prac-
tically assured at this time. When
the measure came on for final ac-
ton Monday Senator Pace had it
deferred until Thursday as a spe-
cial order 50 that several interested
senators might have tgmH to go
more thoroughly into the measures
provisions and confer with it's au-
thor. The result has been that the
bill has what seems now to be prac-
tically the unanimous support of
the senate and there is some indi-
cation it will travel an unusual
course of going through the body
practically unamended.
Since 1915 there have been eff
forts by first one member of the
assembly or another to get passed
some form of bill creating the Of
flee Of state auditor. the original
bill to that end having been drawn
by the late Senator VIM. j. Fakes,
Of Conyers, but none of the past
efforts have been able to gather
much strength. The Pace measure,
however, appears to have hit the
general desire of the legislature as
whole and there is no doubt
about its passage by both branches.
incidentally Senator Pace also is
interesting himself, as vice-chair-
man of the senate rules committee,
in getting the upper branch of the
assembly to give immediate atten-
ton to the important statewide
LEGISLATION - especially the matter
of taking up consideration of a
tax reform constitutional amend
ment bill-with a view to getting
that as far advanced as possible,
or maybe out of the way, while
the house is working on the gen
'eral tax act and the appropriation
bill, both of which, by law have
to originate in the lower branch
Of the assembly.

H. L. Fits, boil weevil expert,
who has been spending several
months in different parts of Texas,

during the entire cotton planting
season in that state, and the crop
there, he says, is in a flourishing
state, with farmers proclaiming
this the most inexpensive crop
made since the beginning of the
boil weevils invasion.
There was but one rain in all
the territory covered by Mr.. Fits
in his travels through Texas, he
told a Times-Recorder man today,
and the farmers there have had no
fight to make on grass this year.
With good stand secured, the
plants have generally grown large
weed and are well fruited, though
the fight against the weevil is con-
tinuing undated, most Of the big
planters, he says, using Hills mix
ture in both large and small cot
ton. At Dime Box, Tex, Mr.. Fits
states, test was made with three
stalks Of cotton under a screen,
number of live weevils being placed
under the covering. Next day all
these weevils were found dead,
with none of the numerous squares
punctured. At Bellville, Tex, 8
rows were poisoned with the mix
ture, he states, and later examina-
ton failed to disclose the presence
