for building upkeep; q cut Of 500
from q proposed $500 for travel ex-
penses: o cut Of $4,000 from q pro-
posed fuel item Of $1,000; a cut Of
$500 from q proposed $500 for mo-
tor vehicle supplies: and q cut OF

tirely eliminated an item Of $1,000
for q new car for the fire marshal

the commissioners broke forth al
several instances during the meet
ing. Commissioner Burton Walker
declared he couldn't understand
how q man could write an editorial
without attending the meeting, ano
, intimated that william J. Papt
ought to start cleaning up his own

them along with the regular budget
for approval.
The reporter for the Republican
against whom most Of the invective
was directed, said that the Amer.
lean did not have q reporter at thu
last meeting Of the board.
The commission entirely elimin.
ated the badges item from thu
budget. This item, according x
Commissioner Walker, has been In
the proposed budget for many years
and has been eliminated by the
commission for the past severa
years. A letter from the Waterbur,

they could furnish badges at the
cost OF from $25 TO $35 each. instead
Of $64, created somewhat Of q stir.

time in several days, claimed no
further successes at Warsaw. 1t was

today that Thorn, fortified city in
the Corridor, had been captured. 1t
was the easternmost and last Of
three fortresses, lying In triangular
position at the base Of the Corridor,
to fall. The others, Bromberg and
Grudziadz, had been occupied last
week. The Poles still held Gdynia,
the Baltic port at the top Of the
Corridor, but 1t was hopelessly sur

claimed by Germany In the past "a
hours was IT. the far northeast OF
Warsaw, where Lomza, 30 miles from
the East Prussian border, was said To
have fallen.
Don't Like Guerrillas
German radio broadcasts con-
tinued to protest against guerrilla
fighting by Polish civilians. It was
announced that residents Of War
saw were tearing up the streets Il
build barbados, that civilians were
firing from roofs, windows and trees
on German troops all around War
saw. The German attitude Is thai
civilians who take up arms are
merely criminals and will be treated
as such, II was announced.
Firing from trees was said TO bt
the common practice when German,
troops marched along country roads
The Berlin newspaper Voelkischei
Beobachter said this practice was "a
contemplate, cowardly attack or
honorably fighting German soldiers
Air raids over wide area also
were announced by the German
army high command.
Bombard Railway Triangle

railroad triangle from Praga ant

MAYOR SEEKING
LEGAL ADVICE

CONTINUED from Page y
Of the city charter, still presumably
In eeffct, provides that no pur-
chases shall be made or paid for
without the approval Of the con-
troller.
Culhane Charter
TIL ecore OF the dispute Is the Gull
hane charter revision act, which
provides for q city department OF
purchases headed by director Of
purchases. Thsi section does not
become effective until January /,
1910. However, the Culhane act pro-
vided for the repeal OF all inconsist-
ent charter provisions and on this
basis the Republican aldermen
claimed that Section SO Is not ef-
fective.
Had the mayor proceeded without
seeking any legal ruling, there
would have been O grave question Of
paying bills contracted for by any
purchasing agent appointed by him.
Controller Sweeney might have re.
fused his approval, leaving the
creditors without their money.
Alderman Lynch pointed out last
night that such q situation might
wei larise, and asked Alderman
George Kingston, Republican, TO
withdraw the resolution.
Kingston Refused
II will not snapped Alderman
Kingston.
Alderman Lynch then moved to
table the resolution. The vote, along
straight party lines, was 8 to
against. The resolution was then
adopted by the same vote.
Former Corporation Counsel
Charles s. O'Connor ruled some
time ago that the controller should
appoint the purchasing agent.
The aldermen debated the reso-
luton sharply, with Aldermen Kings

that Mayor Perriello would ap-
point Mr.. Foster immediately anc
were confident that Controlle,
Sweeney would be unwilling to bear
the expense Of taking the matter
10 court for q ruling. This strategy
failed, however, when the mayor
decided this morning TO have the
legality OF the resolution decided

It's a small world after all when 1t comes to fashion. For this little girl dress has right-in style features that even grown-up would covet. The princess lines of Claire Tilden's Pattern 877 are smart and becoming to an active young body-and incidentally, 1t is about the simplest style to stitch up that can be. The all-down- front buttoning is easy, for even a tiny tot to manage by herself . convenient because you can sew 1t and iron it in one flat piece and decorative, with those frisky scallops all the way down. Make this style simply, or dress 1t up with 8 fresh contrasting collar and amusing scalloped cuffs. The sleeves may be long or short. Stitch up both a party frock in moire or gros- grain and a school dress in sporty plaid or checked fabric.
 Pattern 877 IS cut in girls and junior sizes 6, 0, 10, 12 and IA. Size 10, dress with collar, requires 3h yards 35 inch fabric and A yard contrast; collarless dress, 3h yards 35 inch fabric.

or an extra stint at the woodpile But grandma has learned.
 There is Wess, your husband, the very picture of health now and as strong as an OK. Swimming was good for him, now thinks grandma and she is afraid you might make sissy of Chuck.
 The lake you camp on is deep you say. And Chuck takes too many chances. That is, of course, another story. I am just cautious enough myself to put whole lot of water on the doubtful list. But where there Is shore that shelves grad ually, or 8 diving spot that has been checked for bottom rocks, then a young swimmer Is usually safe.
 But if he ventures off in un- known places, as boys do, that is very dangerous, indeed

 If there is no beach and no shall low place for him to wade on your wild lake, I th'rk you are entirely right in making him stick to the creek. I'm sure grandma agrees with that. Keep him out, advise.

THE GREAT DIAPHRAGM
 MYSTERY

A man who crassly or craftily signs his work as "Dr. ......" -I generally a sign the brighter is not medical man-offers a 48-page booklet in elaborate dress for dol lar. It seems to contain more or less accurate versions of ideas pro- mulgated in this column, on var ious subjects.
 One idea which the doctor" balls up in the conventional way of un- qualified instructors is that of belly or natural breathing. As this parti- cular instructor has 1t, you breathe in deeply and slowly "until the upper part of your chest is expand ed as far as possible, the lower part of your abdomen defiated as flat as possible"
 Boy, when you attempt that trick I'd like to have a seat in the bleachers. think 1t would be funny.
 The absurd misunderstanding of the mechanics of breathing by the laity is probably due to the popular habit of paying serious attention to Tom, Dick or Dorothy whenever he or she pretends to be an expert and gives instructions on breathing or physical training. Probably the quaint stage butler posture which our military authorities imposed on recruits up to the time of the world war contributes to the popular con- fusion concerning the function of breathing. Then items of the type quoted, by person who calls him. self Doctor" probably compete the mystification of great many lay men who are easily deceived by that title.
 I have a monograph on Belly Breathing which makes 1t simple for a child to understand natural breathing-for a copy send a 1-2- cent-stamped envelope bearing your address. Mention the monograph do not send a clipping.
 Come, now, even if you are as ignorant as a college graduate of the construction of the body and the way it works, you needn't get your diaphragm all tangled up like that when you undertake to do a little normal breathing of an eve- ming or a morning, for the sake of better health and efficiency. Remain just as benighted as you are about your in'nards. Just think of the whole prodigious interior as a bal loon, which inflates and deflates uniformly as you breathe in and breathe out respectively, and you'll get very satisfactory results. But just as soon as you attempt to ex- pand the head end of the balloon and deflate the tail end at the same time, you are bound to stall the works and give up the effort with a disgusted "Aw, nutsl"

--BEAUTY-A--.-----.--~s--- GlorU1ing
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer


 With few exceptions, black isn't becoming to sun-darkened and weather-beaten skins.
 Your coat of tan and that ruddy look may be lovely against your white bathing suit and pastel sports dresses-but not against the black frocks that appear on the fashion scene in late August and September
 This year, you can decide or dark brown instead of black fol that first autumn dress. Brown is beautiful against darkened skin and it's fashions favorite color at the moment. However, keep in mind that your suntan will fade of its own accord long before the brown dress is even slightly worn. If your brown isn't becoming to your natural skin tones, minus the tan, better let the first fall dress be black. In which case, do all you can to hasten the disappearance of the suntan.
 LOTIONS FOR
 FALL BEAUTY
 For a mild but effective bleach try equal parts of plain lemon juice and very cold skin tonic After cleaning face and throat simply pat on the bleach and leave until dry, then rise off with clear water. Or, if you like, get a jar of lemon cold cream and use 1t accord ing to directions.
 For elimination of the slightly roughened appearance, find a rich night cream that you like and then use it every single night. Read di- rections on the jar and follow them carefully.
 During the period of recondition- ing face and throat, don't forget the back of your neck, also arms and shoulders. This will be a fall to look as daintily feminine as possible There'll be no place at all in the beauty and fashion picture for skin which isn't flawlesly smooth and soft,
