Prints for Spring

The flair of fabrics for prints is
very significant in forecasting the
styles for this spring. If printed ma
terials foretell anything it is the sim
plicity of dresses, beth one and two
piece styles. With printed fabrics
very little if any trimming, save lace
f1ounces with georgette or chiffon, is
ever permissible; in place Of trim
ming, scarf ends, panels, ties, tiounces,
apron fronts, plaits and draperies,
made of the dress-fabric in the same
pattern or plain color, are all that
is necessary.

MiLk in Refrioerofor

In the ordinary refrigerator, unless
the milk container Is in actual con-
tact with the Ice, the milk will be
colder at the notion of the refrigera-
tor than in the ice compartment, for
cold air settles rapidly. The refrig-
orator should be kept clean and sweet
at all times.

Straight Lines Return

1t is quite evident that straight lines
have returned, but at the same time
a graceful effect of movement Is OBJ
tained by clever disposition Of fullness
In various ways. Plaits are probably
the most common method Of acquiring
fullness without disturbing the straight
silhouette, and in many frocks one sees
the very fine pressed-in plating which
French designers love and do so well.

Under the Coat

An afternoon coat is an essential
this winter. What to wear under it
is the question. Many designers are
showing skirts of cire satin with
tunics of white or light colored silks
Still others have turned to the Scotch
moors for inspiration and have de-
signed skirts Of tartan with bodices of
plain material Of the same tone which
appears in the plaids.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
DEPLORED BY WOMEN
City Club Group Adopts Motion by
Judge 0'Toole Urging
Abolition.

The Womens City Club last night
adopted resolution proposed by
Judge. Mary O'Toole of the Municipal
Court, recommending the abolition OF
capital punishment.
1t Is not so much question OF
Furnishing the Individual criminal
Judge OToole said, as it is Of safe
guarding society. When criminal
is executed, she continued. the injury
to society is far greater than any
actual benefit derived from the re
moval of a dangerous element. Judge
O'Toole was supported in her stand
by Lieut.. Nina Van Wrinkle of the
Women's Bureau and Pearl Bellmar
Klein, local attorney. ~
Those opposed to the resolution
contended that capital punishment
should be retained because it is q
deterrent to young boys and girls whC
are potential criminals.
Miss May T. Bige1ows and Mrs. ]

office of president OF the club. Tht

WATER RATE RAISE :

Senate Subcommittee May

Of the District appropriation bill may

1t has become known that the sub

money for resurfacing old thorough
fares than was designated for that
purpose by the House. At the same
time, however. it may eliminate a few

members decided after touring the
city that some of the new streets
recommended for original paving
could wait another year to. permit the
resurfacirg Of worn-out streets that
have passed the stage where they may
be satisfactorily patched.
Although the final verdict on the
water rate increase is undetermined.
il is known that there is sentiment In
the subcommittee against raising the
price Of so essential household com
modify II the increase can possibly be
avoided. The proposal Of the House
in ordering boost In the rates of
householders would require the pri-
vate consumers Of water to bear the
cost of maintaining the entire supply
system and also to pay for necessary
extensions Of distribution mains. -.
The District Commissioners. as well
as civic organizations generally. asked
the Senate subcommittee to return TO
the policy which was followed prior
to few years ago Of maintaining
the supply system out OF general reve-
nues, which would enable the local
Water Department to make necessary
extensions to the distribution system
without increasing the rate.
u. s. Position Is Cited.
In opposing the increase in water
rates, local agencies have emphasized
the point that the Federal Govern
ment controls the supply system-the
auueduct and filtration plant-and
consumes IS per cent of the water
daily without charge.
The proposed limitation OF 25 per
cent above assessed value on the pur-
chase of school and, park sites also
has been opposed {by local <organiza'
tons, believing such a. restriction
would make it diff1cult for the city to
get desirable sites. 1t has been point
ed out that assessments for purpose
of taxation are made only at two-year
intervals, and that this fact would en-.
ter into purchase made between
assessments.
