informs for Berlin policemen an traffic lights at dangerous cor nts are two matters, oft suggested al now being talked of about town
 Residents in favor of having the splice attired in uniforms point to te fact that uniformed officer is ble to command more respect than ne who appears in plain clothes. They state that great deal of trouble could be averted if the officers were attired in uniforms.
 Illustrating this fact they say that a motorist stopped by man in plain clothes is liable to question his authority to great extent and even after the badge is shown, said motorist, especially if he be from out of town might be prone to treat the matter lightly. In that way a crime, no matter how slight, may be made more serious if an argument between citizen and policeman en- sues.
 Berlin. people say, has grown out of the village stage and it's uphold CTS of the law should be attired &C., cordingly. An officer in uniform on the street automatically makes people feel that they are safe.
 With uniforms the police would be able to carry on their duties more successfully, especially in cases where the officers are not known. They point to the fact that most towns, no matter how small, fur nish uniforms for the officers of the law, believing that a uniform is re- spected at once.
 Traffic Signals Advocated
 Another measure that should be adopted, according to the feeling in town. Is the placing of traffic signal lights at dangerous street intersec lions, so that motorists from other towns, who may be unfamiliar with the roads, may be warned in time to prevent any accidents.
 The intersection of Berlin street and Flannery's, corner is one at which some sort of signal device should be placed. it is said. Here automobiles bound for New Britain or coming up Damon's hill sweep around the corner at a speed which would cause bad accidents should ether autos on the turnpike collide with them.
 The intersection of School street md the turnpike is another place where traffic lights should be placed. say those interested. The intersec- ton of School street and Farming ton road is also a section where lriVers must exercise care and ratchfulness in order 10 escape be- 1g smashed up, at times.
 The railroad underpass in Ken angton, where Railroad street joins 'armington avenue, should be taken care of along these lines, also. There have been several accidents at this point and many cars have narrowly escaped collisions.
 Many other intersections in Ber- lin arc mentioned, among them Up- sons corner. It is suggested that the signal lights such are are used in New Britain be placed at these intersections These signal lights

buttons, two to button. Blue
cheviots in these coats are mostly
to be desired. Some will show an al
most indistinct herringbone effect.
Trousers Slightly Narrower
To conform to the body tracing
idea, the trousers are bit narrower
than they have been. From the knee
to the bottom there is only an inch
difference, but at both points the
dimensions are slightly smaller than
last spring. That means that the
drape of the trousers Is much
neater than before and approach the
conservative lines.
In coats both two and three but
ton models will form the bulk OF
STYLES shown. There will be some
four button models, but they will not
be shown as largely as they have
been in the last three years.
AS for the vests most Of these are
single brea sted, but there will be
some double breasted styles for the
younger man who prefers a bit OF
novelty. These vests are cut high
and have only a slight V at the top
but the bottom shows return to the
former style with decided inverted
v shape. That means that some OF
the blunt cut mode or other seasons
Is almost passe. Some makers are
putting six buttons. instead of five.
on vest and this reduces bullying to
the minimum.
Little Change In Topeoats
There will be little variation In
styles Of topcoats. which are pre-
sented in two principal models. The
most fashionable Is known as the
guard model, an English importation,
but slightly altered to conform to the
American idea. These are very
chesty, have narrow shoulders. body
tracing at the waist and have a de-
cided fare to the skirt. Most OF
these coats are made to fall slightly
below the knees.
The other model Is known as the
tubular topcoat. This Is a straight
hanging garment. which falls in
parallel lines from the armpits TO
the bottom. Some of these coats are
slightly longer than the guard coats,
coming often to the calf of the legs.

them the product Of skilled needle
women. These are to be chosen in
lovely pastel colorings.
The really party" frocks are OF
chiffon or Georgette. and f1owerlike
they are in their charming colors
and airy styles. Sometimes the skirt
is covered with double ruffies. all
picoted. Again clusters OF French
flowers and dainty edgings Of lace
are chosen as trimming. Nearly all
Of these adorable little frocks are
made over silken underslips-a
feature mothers will appreciate.
Cunning Coats and Hats
The most attractive little set may
be chosen this season. The coat and
hat matching and producing a most
harmonious and attractive ensemble.
Odd little high collars Of fur-bands
and godets of fur are used to make
the little coats smart. Beaver,
nutria, muskrat and squirrel are the
skins that are oftenest combined
with the lovely colorful piled fabrics
OF which these new coats are
fashioned.
Hats are made Of materials to
match the coat or of silk in a shade
to harmonic. Brims curve jauntily
away from the face or turn down in
a demure poke. Streamers Of rib
bon and clusters of colorful flowers
are the charming garnitures.

fiy-front models.
The belted coat, even the back
belted style, is almost a back num-
Der. They are sparsely shown and
where displayed at all are in rain
coat textures.
Guard Models in Overcoats
In overcoats the guard model again
promises to hold it's popularity. This
coat has broad peaked lapels and
tapers Slightly to the waist and then
drops from the hips in nearly
straight lines to the knee or slightly
below. Plain or tapped pockets are
shown in these coats. Various colors
have been introduced, but the smart
est appear to be in blue or dark
grays.
Another style is the town ulster.
a trif1e bigger coat than the guard
models, but not as massive as the
Ulster Of other days. 1t is toned
down in several ways. The collars
are not cut so deep the lapels are
not so wide and the coat is some
what longer than the standard
ulsterrette of the past.
Few of these Coats are belted-
scarcely any having the belt all
around as was the style of other
seasons. Many have fancy cuffs and
pouch pockets and are shown prin-
cipally In Scotch fabrics of mauve
tones, blues, tans and browns.

terrified is squarer and longer than
the conventional type that we have
known for years and years. 1t Is al
most a straight hanging coat. reach
ing a few inches below the knees.
Some are shown with velvet collars.
There have been few changes in
the regulation Chesterfield.1 Most of
them have fly fronts and some have
silk facings. A slight variation is
the double breasted model-the style
that is favored usually with dress
clothes.

Turn to Darker Colors

AS for colors, there is a general
tendency to a gradual return OF
darker shades. This does not mean
that the lighter shades worn so ex-
tensively last spring and summer
will be discarded entirely. 1t Is true
that the makers were quite revolu-
tionary in introducing these "Ice
cream" tones, but the younger fell
low liked them and may continue to
wear them again this fall.
While it generally has been the
accepted thing to return to the dark
er tones for fall and winter. there
may be certain class of wearers
who will cling tenaciously to the
lighter shades, probably not as light
as they were last spring, but still
light enough so that there will be a
marked difference between the
ago.
Makers are predicting an excellent
sea son for browns. Among them
will be warm browns, colors of q
more sombre shade than the suits OF
the last four seasons. Bracken
hea Inland, grouse and pheasant are
some of the shades you will hear
about.
Blue Tones Also Favored
vieing with these will be blue
tones-the shades of Antwerp pot
teries they tell us. The color
schemes sound interesting-at least
to the average consumer who de-
mands something a bit unusual In
his dress. Burgundy Is another
shade that promises to have its fol-
lowing unless certain large distrib-
utors have made an erroneous guess
in the color distribution Of their
lines.
The weaves are running largely tc
worsteds. cheviots and cassimeres
with a pronounced diminution OF
tweeds, except in very few
Scotchy looking effects that require
this weave to bring out the desired
pattern treatments.
Featured stronger than ever will
be the double breasted suits. These
are built on the newer models OF
broad shoulders. wide lapel and short
jacket effect, close hipped with three
