Winter coat. Does the one
you thought would carry
@you through another Winter really
pass muster, now that you have been
wearing it while? The coat Is such
an important item, for it either makes
or ruins your whole appearance TO-
the season. 1t should be something
you are proud to wear, something be.
Coming and suited to the sort of life
you lead.
One of the best features of the
early Winter fashions is the great
prevalence of warm sport coats In
plain and novelty weaveS which can
be purchased at moderate prices and
are so appropriate for the business
or college girl. The checked and
tweedy mixtures often made of rain
resisting material, are marvellous for
all-around rough and ready wear and
when worn with the proper scarf and
tailored felt hat make very smart
appearance. Some are REFER type
and many of them now being worn
in New York and Washington are
the good old balmacaan cut, with rag
Ian sleeves and center seam down the
back. that is slashed up way for
freedom in walking. With the pres
,ent vogue for sweaters, these coats
will be found warm enough for any
Winter day in Washington.
If you can afford fur and you
really want a fur coat, why that
is another matter. But even SO,
you might care to keep your fur
coat for special occasions, at least
while it is new. and therefore you
would need a sports coat just the
same. However, you have no doubt
discovered by this time that many
fur coats made on Swagger lines
and of dyed lapin are quite with
in the reach of a limited budget,
and they present very good ap-
pearance, although they may not
have the enduring qualities of
more expensive fur garments.
OFTEN the coat is lined with a
checked material and there is
matching skirt, making a snappy en-
semble. Such coat is about knee
length and would be in one of the
brown tones, such as we saw dis
played here. A knee-length sports
coat of silver muSkrat with leather
belt is very smart and it will give
wonderful service. This coat would

the child's age, and condition.
Third reduce the dose, if repeated,

"What is this liquid test" they
talk about?" ask mothers. Just
this: simple way of finding out
if any boy OF girl with irregular or
insufficient bowel movements is in
need of relief, or is getting the
wrong treatment.
Doctors urge liquid laxative
for children. The child who has
been convalescing in a hospital
will often come out with bowels
working like well-regulated
watch. Hospitals give children a
liquid laxative of suitable ingre-
dients, suitable strength, and in
suitable amount.
The Proper Treatment
Give that sluggish child a liquid
laxative containing senna "a
natUdliaxative). California Syrup
of Figs has the right amount for
children's use, and this rich, fruity
syrup does not upset them.
Just give any headachy, bilious
child a little of this gentle laxative
when constipated, and a lille less

pleting Project to Cost
$s,ooo,Ooo.

Electrically-driven passenger trains
on the projected Pennsylvania Rail-
road identification system between
Washington and New York are ex-
pected to begin running next Janu-
ary /, ]. G. Nettleton, the railroads s
representative here, said today.
Freight electrifcation will be pro-
vided between 80 and 80 days later,
he said.
The railroad stands ready to, spend
$500, 900 more than its original esti-
mate for electrifying the lines in the
District to meet requirements for
Identification set up by the National
Capital Park and Planning CommiS-
sion. Mr.. Nettleton said
He explained this added cost is
made necessary by the commission S
wish to curtail the height of the poles
and place signal wires and an II 000-
volt feed wire underground instead of
on poles.
Will Inspect Poles.
When the commission meets, about
June II. the railroad expects to have
poles in place at Sixth street south
west, and along the embankment
where the road crosses Potomac
Park. Commission members will make
a personal inspection of these poles
to see how they look. John Nolen
jr. director of planning for the COM
mission, and Mr.. Nettleton have been
in conference on details of this pro-
gram.
The commission has approved
plans for electrification of the main
passenger line into Washington-the
so-called Magruder branch. over the
Anacostia River, and workmen are
now installing equipment there. The
height of poles there will be 80 feet
and will carry the trolley and signal
wires. On the freight lines, the 1872
900 volt high tension cable will stop
at the transfer station at South Capt.
tol street, Mr.. Nettleton explained.
The railroad has been requested by
the commission, if possible, to bring
the high-tension cable from a point
north of the Pennsylvania avenue
station at South Capitol street under
ground. From there to Potomac yard
the lines will be carried underground
to Long Bridge. thus enabling the
railroad to reduce the height of the
poles.
S3,O00,000 to Be Spent.
For electrifying the system In the
District, including Potomac yard, re.
ceiving tracks, where freight will be
transferred from Southern carriers
the cost will be S3,000,0O0. Mr.. Net
tleton declared that, except for a few
engines used for shifting in various
yards. there will be no steam locomo-
tives of his railroad in the District.
Special poles are being manufac-
tured for use across Potomac Park
These will be tapered, with small
ornament on top. The poles will be
uniform in height and spacing.
AS another aid to Identification o.
the city, Mr.. Nettleton declared, the
railroad will place its telegraph lines
| in conduits underground, permitting
removal of number of poles now il
| use.
The Potomac Park poles will be
about 80 feet high, Mr.. Nettleton said
If the signal wires and 11,000-volt
| feed wire were placed on poles, rather
than underground, they would have
to be SIS feet high.

unnamed dealers to import large guam
titles of spirits for inclusion in to-

Every dealer will be entitled to free

that any dealer holding Washington

taxation in this manner will be sum-
moned before the board to show cause
why his license should not be revoked.
