Fashions

With the new season comes a note
of elaboration a new depth and rich.
ness of color to the mode. This and
the definite change in silhouette marks
the transition from summer to fall and
winter fashions.
The past season has accustomed us
to the flaring line-and this is empha-
sized again with the introduction of
these new modes. Only now the flare
appears in the back as veil as in the
front. This, indeed, may be considered
the dominant change-the influence
most strongly felt in women's apparel.
The importance Of the tailored frock
for early fall is stressed. Particularly
smart are the styles just launched.
Their effect is simplicity, but to tho
initiated a fine skill is evident in the
cut and fitting of these frocks.
Many are beltless, but those that are
belted tic with the narrowcst of belts.
The flare is often prescnt-suggested

cts. Sometimes the skirt flares all
around. Again in the front-but oft
enest the back flare appears.
Twills. reps and fine cord weaves
are the favored fabrics. Some of the
smartest frocks are of these materials
in checks woven in self color. Navy
blue is very strong with green, doe
and brown shades close in favor.

after midnight.
A cononer's jury today, at an in
quest at the District Morgue, under
the direction of Acting Coroner Joseph
D. Rogers, eXonerated Lynch of all
blame, finding death due to an ac-
cident.
Testimony showed that Lynch's ma

before the collision with Mr.. Easter
day, who had just stepped from the
west curb of Florida avenue when hit
by the car. Witnesses testified that DR..
Lynch stopped his machine before 1t
had gone two feet beyond the body
of Mr.. Easterday and that he remain

Death was caused, Acting Coroner
Rogers announced, by a fracture of
the skull, ruptured liver, hemorrhage
and shock.
Roadway Likely 0bscured.
The automobile of DIR. A. Barnes
Hooe, was on S street when the auto
mobile operated by DIR. Lynch passed

possible that his machine obscured the
roadway at the point where Mr..

gress appropriates or authorizes the
bond issue.
Officials have already recognized that
the Internal Revenue Bureau, which
collects Uncle Sans income and is
now housed in more than a dozen diff
ferent and scattered buildings in the
city, should be among the early con-
siderations. The danger from fire
hazards has been emphasized over and
over again by many officials, including
members of Congress, as one of the
most vital reasons for adequate and
freproof facilities for the records
A building to house the general
accounting Office, headed by Controller
Gen. J. r. McCarl, has also been rec
ogniZed as among the urgent needs.
The general accounting office, which
audits every cent spent by the Gov
ernment, is headquartered in the
Treasury Building, but is housed in
more than a half dozen structures of
various kinds scattered throughout
Washington.
The Department of Agriculture,
which long has been asking new facil-
tiles, is understood to have received
the close attention from officials. A
survey recently made Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture and it's activities
outlined three specific alternate plans
for building. This survey, conducted
by the supervising architects office,
is now in the hands of the Secretary
of Agriculture, who appointed a spe
cial committee to review the relative
merits in the three plans.

State and city Identification bureaus.
The Commissioners and Police De-
partment officials appreciate the neces-
sity for sending Detective Sandberg
to the convention in the interests of
the work of the local bureau. They
are unable to finance the trip, how
ever. and Sandberg does not feel able
to spend the sum of money required
for the trip.

Wilson on his daily rides to and from
the White House would point out to
his guests one building in particular
on which the rental was much higher
than the interest and upkeep charges
would have been if the Government
had built the edifice itself. President
Coolidge has much the same idea
about the high cost of rentals, for he
refers as an Illustration to the posi-
sibility that in some cases where the
Government it paying 100000 a year
rent 1t may be possible to erect a
building and apply $4,000 to interest
charges and upkeep and the other
$500 to sinking fund to pay off the
capital invested.
There is no doubt also that some
of the buildings now rented may
bring even higher rentals if let go
by the Government, because they are
as rule in desirable locations. And
real estate in Washington has had Il
sound growth ever since the war, due
to the inevitable increase in Govern
ment responsibilities and personnel.
1t is felt, for example. that while
substantial economies may be effected
from wear to year. Congress will never
be able TO go back to billion dollar
budget as in 1914.
Big Budget Seen.
Gen. Lord this year is presenting
$4,000, 900, 900 budget, of which near
ly S750,000, 900 is interest on public
debt so that for the next 20 years
at least an administrative budget of
two or more billions is considered
about as low as the total will be.
Under the circumstances some pro-
vision must be made to house per-
manently the large personnel needed,
for example, in administration of the
income tax. The War Risk Insurance
Bureau, now known as the Veterans
Bureau, is not likely to be dispensed
with so long as the 100000 veterans
of the World War are alive. This
bureau is housed in a rented building
which was originally planned for a
hotel and probably would be purchased
overnight by hotel interests If 1t ever
became available.
The income tax personnel have
offices in a half dozen buildings, some
of which are merely of temporary
construction with walls too thin to be
heated without excessive cost in
Winter and with ceilings too low to
be comfortable in Summer. There is
no question but that greater efficiency
would be possible in better quarters.
Congress has been at skies and
sevens over public building bill.
The plan to build on first mortgage
bonds would lessen the necessity for
appropriations, and yet reduce the
rent cost to the Government Mr.
Coolidge is not committed to that
plan yet. but he intends TO get back
of some proposal that will relieve the
Government of it's present expense
and give at the same time better
Office quarters to the multifold activi-
ties of Uncle Sam.
