Mrs. King Buying
NeuU Merchandise
In NeU York

From New York comes the news
that Mrs. M. o. King has been in
the market these past few days, per-
sonally selecting new merchandise
which is already on its way to Ell
Centro.
The new dresses, according to Mrs.
King, show definite change in
style trend with the much shorten
ed skirt which in turn has caused
other changes, hose, shoes, even
lingeries being influenced by this
trend and being decidedly different
from last years styles.
While in the market Mrs King
is giving special attention to the Sc
lection of coats, suits, dresses,
sportswear for the new Shop for
Young Moderns" that will be con-
nected with the ready-to-wear de-
partment, although a separate di-
vision, as soon as the alterations and
improvements now underway at
Kings are completed. In addition
to ready-to-wear lines. Mrs. King
is sending daily shipments of new
spring dress accessories and chill
dren's apparel for the recently en-
larged departments, featuring these
lines.

man for the California Federation
of Women's clubs, said in comment
ing on this announcement: I'VE
realize that the personnel board is
one of the most overworked COM
missions in the state and with that
in mind We have been. patient since
the attorneys presented their briefs
in November, but now that two
months have passed it seems the
civil service act, itself may need
some changes in order to limit the
time complainants may be kept in
suspense. In my opinion it is inef-
ficient to keep a superintendent in
suspense and his institution in a
state of confusion for that length
of time if he were qualified. and 1t
is even worse to keep an unqualified
man in office six months after the
hearing is held"
The blind home investigation re-
port is on the calendar for the state
board meeting early in February
and this postponement of action
will, believed local club women,
cause the board to take action.
