MEADOW MAIN
UNDER REPAIR
Workmen Engaged in Fixing Up
Leak Which Was Objected to
By State Health Board.
A MERCANTILE APPRAISER

City Councilmen are somewhat puz-
zled at this time just what to do with
the situation arising by reason of the
giving out of the wooden main On the
meadow, which has caused sewerage
to flow into Lakes Bay and having
that body of water condemned by the
State Board of Health as an oyster
OF clam ground. However, the Coun-
cilmen are a unit in believing that the
situation should be taken in hand at
nee and therefore the Sewerage Com.
mittee reported on Friday night, at a
special meeting of Council, that men
were engaged in repairing the leak.
The Sewerage Committee was empow-
cred to employ an engineer to exam
inc the main and report suggestions
as to the best methods to overcome
the difficulties which now confront the
city, as to whether extensive repairs
should be made to the present main
or a new n laid, and if the latter
course was suggested, then what ma
terial would be the best to be used in
its construction.
By resolution, Council named Irwin
F. Adams as Mercantile Appraiser for
the city, at a salary of ten per cent.
of all collections made through this
office. He is to file a bond for the
sum of $500. His duties will be to
make out and collect all bills from
stores and other business places and
vehicles that do any business in the
city, and to report violations and re-
fusals to pay the mercantile tax to
the proper authorities for action.
The Sewerage Committee was au-
thorized to have the Plumbing Inspec-
tor make complaint against those
whose properties abut the sewerage
main and who have not made the nee
essary connections, and have all VIC
lators of the ordinance summoned in
TO court Immediately.
City Solicitor Champion reported
that pursuant to the instructions of
City Council he had prepared charges
against State Troopers Horace Rankin
and George Tighe for their actions in
this city on Sunday of last week, and
had forwarded copies to both the Sup
erintendent of the State Police and to
the Governor, having sent the com
plant to the Governor because of the
reported action of the Superintendent
in announcing the clearing OF his men
before she had a full report of the
affair.
The City Engineer was authorized
to draw plans and specifications for
an extension of the sewerage system
along Decatur avenue from Chestnut
street to the right of way of the Shore
Fast Line. He was also instructed to
submit the plans to the State Board
OF Health, at Trenton, for approval.
The bid of contractor lombard for
construction of sidewalks and curbs
for the city, received at the last regu-
lar meeting of Council, was rejected
on Friday night and his check was
ordered returned to him. The City
Clerk was authorized to ~re-advertise
for bids for this work and to have the
bids submitted at the next regular
meeting of Council.

Kalamazoo, Mich, April 1s.-Four
bullets from a revolver brought
GnDgedy to the Priest House of st.
Augustine's parish last night, when
Rev. Father Charles Dillon, assistant
pastor and member of the Carthusian
Fathers' Order, shot and killed his
superior, Rev. Father Henry O'Neill,
pastor Of the parish, who had ordered
him from the house.
The killing of Father O'Neill cul-
minated what Rev. Dillon told police
was "thirteen months of i'll treatment"
during which, he said, Father O'Neil
''treated me like a little boy, and as
sumed toward me the attitude of a
czar."
Told to Pack His Grip.
Rev. Dillon, who is held, told police
that the tragedy was the climax of the
evening meal. Father O'Neill, his SUI
perior, and Father Mccullough were
at the table, he sad, when Father
O'Neil ordered him to so upstairs and
pack his grip"
Instead, Dillon went to his room,
obtained a revolver and returned to
the dining room.

"but rs / advanced into the room, with
the revolver extended, saw him grab

Silk and Linens for Three-Piece Dresses

Adapting fabrics to the style desired,
rather than the style to the fabric IS
the policy apparently followed by one
manufacturer in developing cotton
dresses, notes a fashion writer in the
indianapolis News. In addition to the
wash numbers which include dotted
sWisses, ratines, linens and ginghams,
fhis house presents some semi-formal
frocks of the sheer chiffon type that
are decidedly wearable.
Three-piece dresses in silks and
linens are ar important item in this
collection and particular attention has
been given to the straight-line dress
with accompanying Jacket. The frock
portions of these costumes endorse the
sleeveless bodice and the jackets are
of box coat delineation.
In contrast to the street numbers
which favor the straight-line, simple
treatment, one finds the summer dance
frock shown in panels and undulating
folds Of the softest materials. Deli
cately printed chiffons are more prom
inent than Egyptian prints for street
wear, and figured effects are produced
mainly through the use Of embroid-

TESTING Brass Pipe.


One Of the most interesting checks
on the temper and chemical character
istics of brass pipe is the ability of
the chemist to look inside the metal.
with the aid Of a microscope and see
the grain structure of the brass itself.
To the experienced eye Of the brass
chemist the formation, size and color
of the grain will tell many things about
the metal They will show the temper
Of the brass. and it is many times pos
sible to detect dangerous stresses
which leave pipe liable to season
cracks. The manufacture of brass
pipe has made great progress since
the old days when the metal was cast

interesting in slate gray, with striped

Plated puffed sleeves that drop barely
below the shoulder are noted and a

The use of colored linen lace on a
ratine frock is one Of the typically
distinctive notes found in this group
Of cottons. The lace color blends per-
fectly with the notified tones of the
ratine, and effective pipings of black
leather mark the side opening and

Stout Women Like
Long-Lined Gowns
Plated Sections Have Ten
dency to Reduce Mi
lady's Size.

For the woman of larger proportions
the dress with plated sections holds a
strong appeal, writes a fashion corre-
spondent in the New York Times.
Everything has been done with this
design to give it long lines and salu-
tary effect upon the figure that Is in
clined to stoutness. There are the
plated sections interspersed with those
that are plain and, since the material
is all the same quality and coloring, it
offers 40 distinct lines Of divergence
to work havoc with figure lines that
in themselves are not entirely straight.
The frock was made of heavy weave
of silk crepe in dark brown, or rather
one of those shades Of brown that lie
between the dark and the light and
are most expressive of the color ten
denotes of the present season.
The little cape s indicative of the
present mode. Women are finding out
how useful a garment Of this sort can
be. They are rejoicing in its possibili-
ties of offering a slight covering for
the frock along with it's tendency to
give TO the costume more formal
sort of appearance. This little, short
cape has plated sections over the
sides and the back section, along with
portions on either side of the front, is
left plain Then there is collar made

sign or what not forms the center of
the ribbon trimming chosen. The
trimming can be pinned on wherever
desired. Where two cockades or flow

simply means that two of the ribbon
hatpins are used instead of one.

Long and Full Skirt
Not Liked in Paris

The moderately short skirt for the
street has taken firm hold of feminine
affections, observes a fashion CORE
spondent in the Boston Globe. It has
been found impossible to dethrone IT..
Many of the smartest and most dis
tinguished Parisiennes have steadily
refused to accept long and full skirts
for the street. They reserve models
of this order for garden parties, dance
teas, and of course, for the evening.
Very determined efforts have been
made in Paris to bring in full skirts
which passed the ankles-and this
for walking. A good many foreign
BUYERS snapped up these models be-
cause they were something new" but
the really we'll dressed women in Paris
and on the Riviera, refused to wear
them.
And now, at the opening Of the sum
mer# season, one prominent designer
is showing walking skirts which free
" display the ankles and which are
notably tight. Some of the latest
models are cut with straight side
seams, the hem measuring about one
ward and half, even less, and the
fullness at the waist gathered into tiny
folds. Some of the smartest of these
models are cleverly slit up at one side,
the material running under the "slit"
a little way. All the street models
we're worn by very young and slender
girls, who wore no corset of any kind,
and who, I suspect, were clad in tricot
combinations. Certainly there was no
sign of petticoat.

Cement floors are found much more

are either plain and smooth or laid
