100000 Is WANTED
FOR WORK ON CONDUIT
CONTINUED from First Page. }

break occurred in the tunnel be-
yond Cabin John Bridge, and work
men, under the direction of Maj.
O'Connor. engineer officer in charge of
the aqueduct, worked feverishly sew
eral days to mend the breach.
Fortunately. the reserve supply in
the city reservoirs was ample to meet
requireme ents while the repairs were
being made. but the level in the reser-
voirs was reduced greatly and has
not yet been replenished completely.
Request Is Logical.
Consequently. the Commissioners.
who, with the United States engineer
office, keep in close touch with the
water situation, have good cause for
recommending a liberal sum to the
budget bureau this year for the pur-
pose> of speeding the new conduit to
completion.
1t also is reliably reported that the
Commissioners are leaving in their
estimates a conservative sum to be-
gin carrying out the street lighting
program of approximately s1,200,ooo
planned by a committee of experts a
year ago.
The original intention was to try to
complete the street lighting project
in five years, which would have ne
cessitated about s250.ooo a year. Be-
cause of the urgent demand for other
large expenditures like the water
conduit, however, the city heads now
are discussing the advisabilfty or
spreading the allotments for lighting
over a ten-year period, which would
permit of about 100000 a year.
Plans for Lighting.
This lighting plan contemplates the
gradual substitution Of electric for
gas lamps and the installation of
more powerful Illuminating units on
main streets and traffic arteries.
The list Of street paving items to
be asked for out of general revenues
will not be as large as requested a
year ago. The Commissioners are
said to be of the opinion that so much
highway work has been authorized
this year that they can afford to con-
centrate a little more in the next
estimates on other important work.
OF course, the new estimates Will
carry a list of streets to be paved in
1s25-26 out of the gasoline tax col
lections,
AS stated previously, the Commis-
sioners are practically now ready to
submit a preliminary report to the
oh
the total estimates for the District
for next year should aggregate about
$35, 1000.

BRYAN SEES RACE
H|NG|NG ON DAVIS
Commoner Says Candidates
Speeches and La Toilette
Strength to Decide Issue.
By the Associa ted Press.

By the Associa ted Press.
ST. LOUIS, July 1.-THE character
and amount of strength which Robert
NJ. La Toilette gains for the progress
sive cause, and the character of the
speeches made by John w. Davis.
Democratic nominee for Preside ent,
VIII be the determining factors in
the coming campaign. William Jen-
nings Bryan declared upon his ar
rival hero tonight
THE Democratic party and the La
Toilette party" said Mr.. Bryan, "are
together amply strong to defeat the
Republican party. The question now
is whether Mr.. La Toilette will draw
enough strength from the Democrats
to help the. Republicans, or enough
from the Republicans to help the
Democrats or enough from both par
ties to be elected himself. That is the
problem of the campaign.
Depends ON Davis Speeches.
THE speeches that Mr.. Davis makes
will determine the question. He is
running on the Democratic platform,
which is prog essive beyond the ques-
tion and beyond any former Demo-
will stand squarely on the platform
and defend the advanced ground
taken on economic questions.
IF he does this, he will hold the
progressives in the Democratic party
and ought to gain progressive Re-
publicans. All depends on Mr.. Davis
speeches. I have confidence that they
will be clearly and unequivocably
progressive"
Discussing the Democratic standard
bearers professional connection, Mr..
Bryan asserted that IF he can con-
vince progressives he has not been
corrupted by his associations-that
is, If his sympathies are with the
people in spite of his associations
his professional relations may even
became an advantage to him by prov
ing the strength of his personal con-
victions."
Mr. Bryan declared he would tour
the country in the interest of Mr..
Davis and Charles w. Bryan of Ne
braska, the Commoners brother, as
Vice President. His exact plans
however. he added. were not yet
formed.
Mr.. Bryans trip here is to pay a
visit to his wife, who has been Ill,
and is stopping at the home of Mrs.
]. D. Dana, friends. He was accom-
panied by F. c. Davis of San Antonio,
Texas.

Mr. Davis spent the day quietly, re-
ceiying a few callers, answering let
ters and kilograms of congratulation
and playing a round or two of golf.
Sees La Toilette Strength.
Senator Walsh, upon leaving Mr..
Davis tonight, told newspapermen
that in his belief Senator La Toilette
might poll a large vote in the north
west generally.
The independent candidate prob
ably would prove strong among the
farmers in his own state, he said.
When asked whether the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Davis would satisfy the
Democrats of the northwest he said
he had received telegram from a
close friend in Montana in which he
was told that his section of the coun-
try was we'll pleased with the con-
vention'S choice.

Whether materials influence the
mode or whether fashion determines
the fabric is hard to say, observes a
writer In the Kansas City Star, but
there must be cooperation between
those who create the modes and those
who design and manufacture textiles
in order to achieve the perfect results
that are demanded by the fashionable
woman of today.
IT always seems as though the ma
terials of a new season are lovelier
than those of previous ones. Each
wear colors are more skillfully and
subtly blended, designs are more in
geniously executed and textiles more
supple. This winter apparently is to
witness a decided vogue of velvet, and
few fabrics are more startlingly beau
tiful than the printed or brocaded vel
vets. The color effects are quite ex-
traordinary and are brilliant without
being bizarre or crude. Rich shades
of blue and tangerine, turquoise, coral
and the varied tones of green so popu
lar at the moment. as we'll as a new
shade of cranberry, are being offered

OF suede gloves have been initiated,
you may say upon first inquiry. But
the new fabric gloves, while more ex-
pensive than ever, have an enviab!e
advantage-they can be washed in
soap and water. Furthermore, as a
second examination of them will show,
the material and workmanship COM
bine in giving a far more refined effect
than past fabric creations have sug-
gested
They can be bought in the prevail
ing glove, colors of the season-gray
and beige, with the many intermediary
shades. 1t is the slightly decorative
types that are the most attractive, per-
haps, and certainly the more expen-
sive. A model in light beige, with
chocolate-brown stitching on the back
and narrow, turn-back cuff trimmed
with metal cloth has reason to be a
promising favorite. The colors are
transformations but effective. This is
one of the finer group and one is al
most tempted to doubt the saleswom-
ans explanation that the material is
not suede and rub an appraising fin
ger over it, to make sure.
Another "true to type" model is an
all-gray glove. This has a scalloped
cuff edged with a half-inch plating
