Brims, adjustable to ones style of
beauty, that Is the milliner's promise
for spring. All you have to do Is to
step to the mirror, study effect and
contour of your new chapeau and If
it does not come up to expectations
as to becomingness, let 1t not fret you.
1t is but the matter Of kink, deft
twist and a bend, to convert it into
lines turned to your individuality or
mood. Most Of the brims are just like
that, either pliable or on the soft
drape order which responds readily to
deft touch. For midseason, taffeta,
satin and faille silk are in use as sug-
gested in the picture. The new belts
are particularly soft and adjustable.
Later on, the designer tells us, supple
crochet straw will be used in a similar
manner to fabric.

Water Survey Is
Needed, He Says
Atlantic County Senator Finds
Some Encouragement For
His Proposition.
What Wharton Tract May Have

1t is now reasonable to expect that
a survey of the source and supply OF
potable water in Atlantic county and
nearby will result from resolution
introduced in the New Jersey Legisla-
ture by Senator Richards. One object
of the survey is to form a reliable
opinion upon the wisdom of purchds-
ing the Wharton tract for water sup
ply for future needs Of the rapidly
growing communities of all Of the ter
ritory from Burlington south to ATTAIN
tic City, including Camden Gloucester,
Hammonton and other places. The
Wharton estate consists of approx
mately 100000 acres of land situated
largely in Atlantic county and extends
into Burlington and Ocean counties.
300,0oo,000 Gallons Daily.
Through parts of it run Mullica riy-
er and Wading river, which are the
sources of potable water supply in
which the State has heretofore mani
tested an interest.
While there is no recent definite
approximation of the daily supply Of
potable water available from the terri
tory of the estate, ii is estimated by
the State Department of Conservation
and Development that, with proper
dams and other development, the daily
yield would be about 300000,00 gal
Ions.
The vastness of this quantity of
water is best expressed by the state
ment that a city the size of Trenton
or Camden requires about 100000
gallons a day, thus the Wharton tract
would have a supply, under develop
ment. for fifteen cities the size of Ell
Their Trenton or Camden.
The main argument against the pur-
chase is that the price is excessive.
Fifteen years ago the price asked was
$40 an acre or $1,000,000, and it was
considered too high.
The Richards resolution would not
pledge the State to any policy either
for or against purchase, it merely pro-
viding for a survey of the question,
with report to be submitted by the
commission.
With the survey made, those in ia
vor of the resolution feel that there
would be intelligent information upon
which some decisive action could be
taken in the course of a year, possibly
at the 1927 session of the Legislature.
There is a possibility that the reso-
luton will be passed, because many of
the South Jersey members seem to be-
lieve it would be the course of wisdom
to have information upon which final
judgment for or against purchase
might be based.
