Speeders Unpopular
 Police in Action
Warn Arrests Will Be Made Unless Motorists Slow Do~n.-Prineipai
 Streets Not Race Tracks

Speeding through the streets of Putnam has reached such a stage as to become the cause of complaint. Drivers who race their cars along main-traveled thoroughfares have be- come unpopular and the subject of many protests. The mayor and the board of directors of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce have received complaints about speeding, especially on Grove and Providence streets. So insistant have the eomplainers be- come and so persistent have many automobile drivers been in racing through these two thoroughfares that Mayor Richard has requested the pol ice to take action.
 The warning has been given. The police say it is up to the drivers. Unless speed is reduced in accordance with the law governing the operation of motor vehicles through thickly set tied communities arrests will be made and no leniency will be shown the of lenders.
 Especially Dangerous
 Grove street is especially dangerous when used as speedway. It is a cement roadway with long straight stretch. Along this tempting bit of good road there are several blind corners. Among them Is the inter- sections at School street. Wilkinson street. Bradley and Pleasant streets. The section is also one in which there are many children going to and from school. The law limits speed to twen- ty miles an hour under these condi- tlons as the houses are less than 100 feet apart.
 Providence street is a business sec ton. Cars are parked on both sides of the street. Here again many chil- dren are about and here also houses are less than 100 feet apart and there are some blind" intersections. Both of these streets carry heavy traffic and neither is a place where the least de- gree of recklessness will be tolerated by the officials
 While there will be general over sight of all of the streets in the city these two highways will come in for especial surveillance as be.h have been the subject of complaint.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Want
a hat you can wear with any
thing-or practically anything
this summer?
Thousands of women and
girls want just exactly that.
Which is one good reason for
the Importance Of the fashion
for informal, or what they call
casual" straw hats.
And by Casual" hats, we
mean those brimmed hats OF
rough straw, panama or leg
horn, that have been popping
up like mushrooms in the
night.
It's a great idea this
having one hat that does for
both city and country wear.
That looks equally well with a
summer suit or printed chiffon
or linen sports dress. Eco

Only a few weeks ago our
check-ups on hat fashions
showed a rather small per.
centage of these casual hats.
Then suddenly they began to
increase.
And in Just a short time
grew into a fashion rating IS
one Of the most popular nat
fashions Of summer. .
Comfortable Hats
Good reasons for it - be-
sides their versatility. They're
light and cool comfort
able on the head. They have
brins to shade the eyes.
They're feminine-loo.1ing

Mesh Frocks
AndSuitsfor
Summer
By Wilma La Vile

This is a difficult time Of the
year for some women who wear
their clothes hard and who de-
mand a great deal from a ward
robe. The fresh look of new.
ness has worn off everything.
They hesitate to invest in more
summer clothes. and it is too
early to buy fall things.
But there are always certain
consoling fashions that get a
late summer start and are just
now reaching the height OF
their popularity. You can add
them to your wardrobe without
duplicating clothing. They will
have a decidedly new appear
ance, and will vitalize and
freshen the others for you,
oftentimes.
One Of these late developing
fashions of this season is
frocks and suits of mesh. Cot
ton or rayon mesh deserve
their popularity because they
are so cool, poruS and absorb
ent for active wear and they
retain their shape and general
good looks so well, so are suit
able also for spectator sports.
Many women are wearing them
for the street in Washington,
where informal clothes are per-
missable, just as they do other
knitted suits.
Another point in favor Of
these mesh costumes is that
they are inexpensive. We have
seen two attractive models that
can be had for less than $in
and they are exceedingly good
looking. One has q Soke top
skirt with only pearl buttons
for ornaments. It is simple
enough to be suitable for any
informal wear. In yellow or
other pastels. The other one
is a jacket suit and is also in
paStelS, and is notable for the
skirt with wide pleats, which
are growing more fashionable
day by day.
These mesh frocks are now
available at modest prices and
will be a happy and freshening
addition to your wardrobe. II

may find them, call Miss La
Vile at The washington Times,

BANK BUILDING
DAMAGED BY FIRE
Potomac Savings Institution, in
Georgetown, Scene of Early
Morning Blaze.

Fire Of undetermined origin caused
considerable damage early this morn
ing to the upper floors of the Potomac
Savings Bank Building, at the corner
of Wisconsin avenue and M street. but
did not penetrate to the banking rooms
proper.
The blaze was discovered both nv
the Waterman and by DR.. N. Esensten.
a dentist, who said he was snending
the tight in his Office The flrst he
knew he said the flames had come
through the door of his Office.
The fire apparently originated some
where in the heart of the building in
the stairwell. Four companies re-
sponded, No. /, No. S, No. and No "a
The fire was soon under control.
While the flames were confined tn
the second and third floors of the build
ing most of the interior was damaged
by water, including several dentists Of
fees on the second floor and the Offices
of the American Drug Co. The large
assembly room or lodge hall on the
third floor, where the Georgetown Cit
liens Association and some lodges
usually meet, was badly damaged.
After a survey Of the banking rooms
on the first floor E. T. Burdette, assist
ant cashier, stated that water did not
get into any valuable records, although
it leaked down in quantities into the
room. While somewhat handicapped,
! the bank, Burdette said, would be
opened as usual Monday morning.
