MISS PERKINS HALTS BULLETIN
ON WORK AS "UNRELIABLE"
Material Printing Bill Saving Is Expected by Secretary of
Labor Department.

She said from now on the depart
ment would publish only statistics
gathered by the Bureau Of Statistics.
She said these were entirely adequate,
having been gathered under a sound
system which took IN large sample
Of the entire labor field.
The bulletin has been published for
several years and was made up entirely
of observations of district Office man
ayers in 50 cities scattered throughout
the country. It often conflicted in its
general synopsis of industrial conditions
with those figures reported by the Sta
tistical Bureau.
Miss Perkins said she intended to set
q Joint system Of the two agencies after
her complete reorganization Of the un-
employment system, and the statistical
study to be made by an outside 1nde-
pendent agency

Those seeking Summer White House
sites in their vicinity are throwing
their efforts away-unless the Roose-
welt Summer psychology suddenly
changes.
The Roosevelts really don't mind"
heat and humidity.
When the subject was brought up re-
Gently, Mrs. Roosevelt recalled that her
husband was a Summer worker IN
Washington in war times and was very
Off-hand about it.
She remembered, further, that he had
made, and announced his choice OF
recreation spots-n there Is time for
recreation-his home on the Hudson.
And there will always be his twice-a-
year visits to Warm Springs, Ga.
As for Mrs. Roosevelt, she once
weathered July in the Capital, doing
war canteen work in humid spot-in

torrid by an Army kitchen.
After that experience, Summer Wash
ington holds no terrors for her.

The employment bulletin published
monthly by the United States Employ
ment Service of the Labor Department
is to be discontinued because OF Its
general unreliability," Secretary OF
Labor Frances Perkins announced
today.
The bulletin has been made up OF
reports received from district agents IN
ali States, and was printed on high
grade paper. BY discontinuing Its pup
lication, Miss Perkins said the DEPART
ment will save materially on its print
ing bill.
The woman cabinet official explained
that the bulletins reports were based
on "pure impressions" and reflect
only what Sam Jones or Mary Smith
may have observed about employment

Appeals Court Findings Laid Be-
fore Commission by Corporation
Counsel, Raising Question.

The decision of the Court Of Appeals
Monday, in holding that the submeter-
ing Of electric power was a discrimina-
tory practice, may lead to an inquiry to
determine If other "submetering" prac-
tices here come within the meaning OF
the decision, 1t was learned today at
the District Building.
The question was raised today in q
memorandum laid before members OF
the Public Utilities Commission by
Corporation Counsel w. w. Bride in for
warding statement of the findings OF
the Appeals Court to the commission
The commission as yet has reached
no decision as to an inquiry. and the
subject will be considered at a later
date, 1t was indicated.
Extra House Charges.
It appeared possible today, however
the extra charges being levied here by
some apartment houses and hotels, for
telephone connections through their
house switchboards over and above the
rates charged by the telephone COM
pantes, might be made the subject OF
a study. In numerous cases. 1t is re-
ported, nat charge is made by owners
OF such properties for the operation OF
central switchboard through which
the lines Of the tenants telephones
pass.
The Court Of Appeals ruled against
the submetering Of electric power by
owners OF certain buildings under a
system in which charges could be levied
over and above the charges made by
the power company itself. The power
company refused to provide such serv-
ice and 1t was taken to court by the
submetering interests. The Public Util-
tiles Commission issued an order
against the submetering practice in the
power case.
The District Supreme Court and now
the Court Of Appeals ruled that SUBJ
meterlng practices as outlined in the
case was discriminatory and q burden
on the resources Of the company.
"Open Door" to Practice.
The position OF the Utilities Com
mission, unof1cially, was that should
such power sub-metering have been
legally permitted, it would have left
the door open for tremendous develop
ment Of the practice over which the
commission would have no control as
to charges to be assessed consumers
engaged in reselling such current to
other consumers
The memorandum on the power sub
metering decision, forwarded to the COM
mission and which was drafted for the
corporation counsel by his assistant
William A. Roberts. states. in part:
Careful attention should be given tc
the paragraphs describing the jurisdic-
ton OF the Supreme Court On appeals
from the Public Utilities Commission
and to the general Indictment of the
practice Of submetering. as on these
points the jurisdiction Of the commits
sion Is distinctly strengthened by this
decision OF the Court Of Appeals.
The application Of the decision as
TO the submetering practices of Other
utilities might be considered also"

Triple Sheers Leading
Triple-sheers, in navy and black,

ton. There are an abundance Of new
semi-tailored designs Of the types
which are suitable for every occasion
from early morning until night. Other
arguments in their favor are their
GOODNESS, the ease with which they
may be cleaned or packed and the
fact that most Of them have organdy
or other lingerie touches which may
be freshened or changed frequently
- give variety to the dress.
An innovation in triple-sheer is the
dress with matching swagger coat or
cape and these are obtainable at sew

in dark or light colors. A lovely

Recent Warm Weather Gives
y; Impetus to Buying Move
mont in This Area

Although a late Easter has allowed
Bismarck women more time than us
llal to select their spring costumes, the
recent unseasonably warm weather
has given added impetus to early buy
ing, survey Of local shops reveals.
Stocks are very complete at most
Of the stores. permitting the buyer to
choose a complete outfit either in
contrasting or harmonizing tones.
Coats and suits are the best sellers
at the present time, with print dresses
increasingly popular. Light woolens,
Crepes of all sorts and tv.eds are
displayed in modish and fetching de-
signs.
Coats, while following a modified
silhouette. achieve new smartneSs
through unusual collar and sleeve
treatments. Capes, mainly detach-
able, predominant, and fur trimmings
are much in evidence, though there Is
a tendency for smaller amounts of fur
than in last falls models. In many
cases fur is replaced by white pique.
rsed for detachable reyers, piping and
flowers.
One shop is showing tricky num-
Der called Balanced Budget" which
is quite in keeping with its name. De-
veioped in black Argyle crepe, t has
= removable cape topped with rows
of black buttons and a rerky white
pique flower. Another model at the

and sleeves broadened at tie shoulder

Choose Blouse With
Care, Stylists Advise

It Is wise woman who chooses her
blouse just as carefully as she chooses
her suit. For q perfectly smart tail
ored suit can be utterly ruined II the
wrong kind Of blouse Is worn.
The striped shirtwaist type is slated
for great popularity to be worn with,
tailleurs. They are smart in style,
becoming to everyone, and easy to
launder which Is a big point In their
favor.
While the shirtwaist Is smart, its
severity Is not acceptable with the
softer dressmaker types Of suits, and
the little silk suits that are entering
the afternoon mode. It is here that
ruffles sound the proper soft note
that brings perfect harmony. Dainty
fluffy blouses in sheer silks, Lily
Langtry pastels, bits of nets and lace.
The kind of blouses that bellies of the
early 1905 wore and loved, and that
modern Miss 1888 will adore.
Besides the fluffy blouse. there is
the crisp blouse that will be the Joy
Of femininity. Perky taffeta in checks
and plaids, as gay as youth; organdy
and organdy pique. new and fresh
