New Autumn Black Frock
Is Touched With CoIora

The black frock that has been con-
spIcuous by its absence from summer
fashions, returns with autumn and
from every indication win be even
more popular this fall than It has been
for several seasons past.
Much Of the distinction Of these
black costumes may be attributed to
the beautiful fabrics chosen for theIH
fashionIng. Supple crepe-back satins,
lustrous velvets, crepes with an al.
most imperceptible weave are all used
and the effects achieved are amazingly
smart.
An innovation of the present season
Is the introduction Of touches Of 9
tone Of faded pink or old blue into
frocks Of navy blue or black. This adds
a certain youthfulness that ID most en-
gaging and contributes greatly to their
interest.

Famous American Society

The Society Of officers Of the Con-
tinental army called the Society Of the
Cincinnati, was founded by regular Of
fcers of the Continental army at the
headquarters of Baron Won Steuben
on the Hudson, 1888, was named for
a traditional Roman dictator, Lucius
Quintius Cincinnatus, born about $40
A. d. The name was adopted in al
fusion to the approaching change from
military to civil pursuits and referred
to the fact that Cincinnatus when
named dictator was discovered by the
deputies sent to apprize him Of the
honor, digging on his farm beyond
the Tiber, an occupation he was loath
90 leave and eager to resume after
much military glory.

MANY TAG CARS
FOR DELIVERY
CHRISTMAS DAY

This is perhaps the automobiles
banner year in the role of a Christ
mas present. Throughout the coun-
try motor car dealers report an in
creased number of orders bearing

that there is no one thing which

els of their line have been ordered
consigned to certain persons on
Christmas.

pack up and move to new location
near the particular school desired.
"The latter, OF course, was not
always convenient or practical but,
thanks to the present era of indi-
vidual transportation, students of
the family may now attend any in
stitution of learning within 90
mile radius of home without serious
Inconvenience.
"We are also delivering a number
of sedans and coupes TO housewives
this year.
"It is no longer the custom of the
land for the lady of the house to
be marooned all day without means
of transportation to and from mar
keting or afternoon social affairs.
"There is truly no greater ex-
preston of thoughtfulness on the
part of a husband for good wife
than the presentation of person

Emphasizing the point that this

ment take action adequately to pro-
tect the valleys of the Allegash and
the st. John and tributary waters
from exploitation for the sole bene-
fit of interests foreign to our country
and State, Governor Brewster in

tion Wednesday morning discussed
the subject of water power with es-
pecial reference to the situation on
the st. John river and Passamaquod-
dy bay.
The opportunities offered for a
grab of the entire storage basin of
the st. John river, located in Maine,
under the provisions of the so-called
mill act were revealed by the Gov
ernor.
Governor Brewster plainly indicat-
ed that he felt some such legislation
as that proposed by the bill intro
duced by Senator Charles B. Carter
of Androscoggin, which changes the
mill act, was necessary.

FRANCE may Be

FINANCIAL MOVE

Paris, April 1.-(By A. P.)-
Whether France will resort to infia-
tion or adopt some other means of
solving the financial situation, which
has become embarrassing both to bust
ness and the treasury, will probably
be decided within a few days. It is
no longer a secret in official circles
that radical measures are under con-
sideration. No matter what the ma
ture Of these measures-infation, a
levy on capital, new taxes, or, as a last
resort. a national lottery-it is admit
ted in business and political circles
that the time has come for action.
The veiled illusions to grave forth
coming decisions which have appeared
in the press recently are becoming
more and more explicit. The financial
paper Information this evening de-
clares: Decisions of great import
ance, financial decisions that may in
fiuence foreign exchange, are to be
taken without delay" The paper adds
that it is not only the question of the
budget but the question of the treas.
ury, which must receive prompt solu-
tion. All comment obtainable in Off
cial circles indicates that the govern
ment will soon make its decision
known.

that they have been swept down
stream in the direction of Minden. 20
miles away. and that dragnets must

shores were dazed. The troopers in
too great numbers were crossing over
the pontoon bridge and because of
overweight one of the pontoons sank
Most of the victims disappeared be-
meath the surface in 20 seconds and
failed to come to view again.
In true soldierly fashion the men
stood by their guns and disappeared
frantically clutching their rifles and
giving no heed to their. cumbersome
field equipment, which was destined
to prove a fatal handicap in their
struggle. More than $50 men were
precipitated into the water and only
20 succeeded in saving themselves or
were rescued by comrades ashore.
