CORPUS CHRISTI TO
ADVERTISE BIDS ON
PORT PROJECT SOON
Settlement of Bond Brokers'
Suit Paues Way to
Preliminary Work.

Corpus Christi. EEK, March 90
Definite assurance that advertisements
for bids on the Corpus Christi pro-
ject will be placed for publication
within q short time, possibly within
the next two or three days, was made
by city officials this week. 1t is
understood that all specifications for
the work have been received from X.
j. Cummins of Houston. consulting
engineer. While this work was in
progress recommendations for changes
were made from time to time by fed
eral engineers, all of which were
complied with.
The only obstacle that has stood in
the way of starting work on the har-
Dor has been the damage suit filed by
J. L. Arlitt, bond buyer of Austin,
Tex. The delays incident to acquir-
ing title TO a few pieces of real
estate near the harbor site also have
delayed work. Arlitt, it is announced
has agreed to withdraw the suit. The
Austin man contracted to buy a 81
100000 bond issue, payment for
which was to be made by the refund
ed ad valorum taxes of seven con-
tiguous South Texas counties.
Arlitt failed to negotiate the sale
of the bonds by the required date
and was granted an extension of
time. Again failing to close the deal
he was granted an extension on the
condition that he post a $4,000 for
felt.
At the end of this extension the
CITY declared n forfeit of the S30,0OO
and placed the sum to the credit of
the city, Following this Mr.. Arlitt
brought suit for $250,O00, alleging
among other things that the bonds
were not constitutional. This phase
of the issue had been passed on by
the attorney general of the state, who
declared the bonds valid. The city
commissioners responded to Arlitt's
suit with court proceedings asking
100000 damages.
Mr.. Arlitt in agreeing to withdraw
h;e suit against the city is understood
TO have received his $4,000 forfeit
money and $4,000 additional.
After the city commissioners stop
ped dealing with the Austin man the
bonds were subsequently sold to
Sutherlin & Barry of New Orleans.
the city having received cash and
accrued interest for the issue. The
money received, however, has been
held in escrow pending a settlement
of the Arlitt- Corpus Christi suits, but
now since the suits have been settled
out of court the money has been
released and placed to the city's
credit, ready TO be used in construct
ing a deep water harbor here.
The other remaining obstacle to be
overcome is to obtain title to a few
lots adjacent to the harbor site. 1t
is probable, IL a satisfactory deal can
not be made, that the needed property
will be condemned by the navigation
board.

TO RE-PLANT COTTON
Cold Weather Prevents Growth OF
Crop i'm Valley.

San Denito. Tex, March s9.-Ac-
cording to cotton farmers of this vicin-
ity, early cotton will have to be re-
planted as the weather has been too
cool TO insure the rapid growth of the
plant.
Fully rs per cent will have to be
replanted, say the growers. The cool
weather made one Of the best cabbage
crops ever grown in the valley and
has been equally good for lettuce, but
cotton is very backward and is now
in need of moisture. Farmers, how
ever. are almost afraid TO irrigatc for
fear Of a rain. A good general rain
would be worth lot to the valley at
this time.

Girdles, ornaments. long-fringed tas-

Lace Mitts Take Place
In Fashions Of Summer

Like q remnant Of hnery from the
fashions Of olden times are the pretty
lace mitts that have suddenly become
the last word ii summer styles. OF
course. old ladies have always worn
mitts. and the more conservative shops
have continued to humor their fancy
and retain their patronage. But the
revival Of mitfs had a definite starting
point II an English wedding at which
the bride wore long mitts OF exquisite
white lace and the bridesmaids shorter

This Eunmery suggestion has been
repeated In the costumes at some re-
cent weddings 10 fashionable society
this side Of the water, the mItts being
usually Of elbow length and always
matching the costume. They are
shown IA many lovely shades, IN stripes
and other openwork patterns; Ia plain
colors Of glove silk, black or white
and some are stitched with bright con-
trasts. One Of the choicest styles Is a
glove Of lacy silk Of one color trimmed
at the wrist with a wee plating Of rib
bon, piped with scarlet, blue, black or

Use Combinations
to Get New Ideas
Materials Considered Out Of
Fashion Picture Are
Given Try0ut.


The newest prank of fashion, writes
an authority, Il to use combinations
which are more or less considered out
Of season or are very unusual For
instance. black satin was used for an
afternoon frock where organdie and
summer erTnine shared the trimming
honors. The organdie was white and
embroidered. 1t formed 4 deep hem
effect on the skirt. The edges Of the
organdie were scalloped and the seal
Tops were appliqued to the fur. Al
though the combination sounds curl
Gus. the effect was nevertheless most
charming.
The vogue OF the tunic overblouse is
being enthusiastically adapted by q
great number Of women as the most
logical solution to the blouse and skirt
problem. We believe there isn't any
woman who either looks well dressed
or feels well dressed In o separate
skirt and blouse, but let her don one
Of those new unbelted tunic bIouses
which come well down over the knees
and are made Of such attractive silks.
and we are sure she VIII be agreeably
surprised at the truly smart appear
anca its simple lines win give her. Be
sides improving ones appearance,
there Is economy IN possessing several
Of these tunIcs. for they can be worn
with the skirt of an old suit The
skirt Of last years suit which has be-
come shiny In the hack or slightly
worn can be brought ont OF ones
wardrobe and put to very good use in
this way.
IN Paris they are wearing these
tunics very long. only two or three
inches OF the skirt being visible In
some Instances. The skirts are short,
very narrow. sometimes plated and
sometimes plain.
Flounces and tiers cut to accentuate
rather than detract from the much-de-
sired slim line occupy such an impor-
tant position In the mode that one can
not pass them by without some recog-
milton. The cut Of tiers is invariably
circular, for In this way any fullness
or bunchiness can be avoided as they
can be applied without fuIlness. Crisis
cross TUNES which look like one layer
OF fabric were wrapped about the fig-
ure In one direction. and another layer
Tapped In the opposite direction Is an
other oddly that has been seen sew
eral times.
Flannel coats in white, powder blue
and all the high shades without any
Innings In them and very simply
tailored are being worn at smart re-
sorts with sports frocks Of crepe de
chine Some are braid-bound. some
are piped with contrasting flannel,
while others depend entirely upon
their unrelieved simplicity for smart
ness. One Of the two models being
worn most is the wrap-around. which
is devoid of fastening and Ia held In
position by the wearer.

Hose and Shoes Must Be
Smart to Match Skirts

Skirts are shorter than ever I'm
Paris, according to a fashion authority
recently returned, and woe to the
woman who does not give careful con-
sideration to her feet and ankles. for
they cannot be camoufaged.
'HThere never was a time when shoes
and hosiery were so Important as they
are now" the same authority declared
Long ago, when our grandmothers
wore white and pale-colored hose,
their skirts were long. When the short
skirts first came into vogue the hose
were black or dark brown to match
the shoes. Now the skirts are at least
ten inches from the ground and the
stockings are In shades OF beige or
nude or gray. They are very smart.
but very conspicuous
'gThe new full-fashioned silk and
fiber hose are very satisfactory
for summer dresses. They at the an
kles and are shimmery and pretty.
Care must be taken to wear the right
kind or shoes with each gown. The
trim-tailOred shoes q woman wears
with her serge frock are impossible
with her patent leather or satin or
thin kid shoes with high heels.
'Tt is careful attention to these de
tails that makes q woman look smart,
and II is much more important to have
ones clothes smart than becoming. II
Is not always possible TO be both, and
the wise woman chooses to be smart. "

TO Dress and Look Cool
on SultrY Summer DAYS

Life nowadays Is altogether too
much fussed-up. We all admit IT, But
you have no idea how, taking your
courage In hand. you can pull of the
SILLY old outer coverings, and get at
something tolerably simple. Just for
one example. observes a writer IN the
Woman's Home Companion: II your
hair Is hot and heavy on your head
and hard to keep in order, cut some Of
It out. Don't be afraid. Maybe your
husband does admire II He doesn't
have TO take care Of IT,
The first thing to do II you have
long heavy hair is to shorten 1t. What's
the use Of carrying around a lot Of
old hair, anyway? It just wads up In
q bunch on your head and acts like q
warming pan But II your hair grows
thlckly on your head, shortening
doesn't cool you or very much. My
suggestion then Is that you have some
one thin It out for you carefully. much
as you'd thin out the carrot row In the
early summer. Cut small pieces out
close to the scalp In several places,
being careful to take It from under
meath where the cut-out regions win
be well concealed by your couture.
Don't cut the hair that grows low on
the neck.
Delightfully."- refreshing for hot
weather, too, are the scented hair To-
lions which have all the cooling vir-
tines OF toilet water but are especially
adapted for the hair. A few drops on
your scalp around the edges Of the
hair seem to take away that hot, damp
feeling.
Baths are one thing that you can't
very we'll cut down il hot weather.
But any day. you know. you can save
enough puttering or worry time for
one good bath. And what a boon a
bathtub Is In hot weather. bathtub
filed without skimplng. and smelling
like a lemon meringue all on account
Of a handful Of verxeine bath salts.
Failing a tub, however. one can sim
be cool. A hand basin Of water, an
ordinary wash cloth. and a spoonful OF
toilet water makes sponge bath that
takes OF several degrees OF. heat. And
just an ordinary air bath, sans clothes,
Is a wonderful freshener. It's very
good thing. especially in summer, to
remove your clothes for q little while
each day, and let your pores get a
good, deep breath Of air.

Beads in Quantity and
Variety i'm Evidence

A sense OF humor Is needed to ap-
preciate the quantity and variety OF
necklaces and other baubles that are
now displayed In every place where
things pertaining to women's dress are

Millions OF strings Of beads, some o.
