Accent Placed On Headdress
In Easter Fashion Parade

wide brims presented an attractive
front view albeit the crown was
omitted
Floral fantasies, either adorning a
hat or forming the entire headpiece,
were popular selections. Brlms OF
shiny sailors were edged with a
group of flowers at a rakish angle.
Pastel flower hats rcSembled an old
fashioned noSe-gay and were worn
in a beWitching manner not too far
over the brow. The dlmlnultiVe half
hat of flowers formed d flattering
arc atop the curls of the junior miss.
Mysterious wells were in the
minority and covered very few of
the charming faces of the fair sex.
Wells this season, for the most part,
were reversed, being attached to the
back of the hat and falling softly
over the hair in halo effect. This
angelic touch was repeated IN the
airy. frilly creations of illusion veil
and pastel flowers, dramatic acces-
sorry with feminine note to the
most tailored outfit,
Designers of hats surpassed all
past creations in the galaxy of head
dresses for the Easter parade of 1916

vailed in TIE exhibition of Easter

is included in the issue to allow
for possible increases in construc-
ton or material costs and any
other contingencies.
1t also was explained that the
$5,500,000 fund also provides for
acquisition of all property situated
in the block between James and
Columbia Streets and between
Third and Fourth Avenues by the
city. 1t has been estimated this
will cost 100000 at the most.
While minor opposition to the
proposed expenditure has been
described from some official quar-
tiers as excessive" Police Chief
Herbert D. Kimsey today pointed
out that in addition to other bene-
fits, Seattle would obtain, thru
construction of he new building, a
most seriously needed facility.
1.-THE plans also provide" the
chief said, for installation of a
large auditorium on the third
floor with a 3OO-person seating
capacity.
This will make available ia
cilities for the Health Department
where weekly lectures for young
mothers on care of their children
and public health can be con-
Quoted.

After more than two weeks of
study, an ordinance providing for
a $5,500,000 bond issue for con-
struction of Seattle's proposed
new public safety building today
had the almost undivided support
of the entire City Council.
Although the measure, prepared
by Corporation Counsel A. C. Van
Seelen, calls for an appropriation
which might appear to some to be
far in excess of the preliminary
cost estimates recently announced
as $4,200,000, city officials point
ed out that there are several fea-
lures which should not be over
looked.
The original cost estimate made
no provision for furnishings for
the new building, which will house
the Seattle Health Department and
the Police Department at Third
Avenue and James Street If the
bond issue is approved by the vot-
ers next spring.
The $5,500,00O fund, it was
pointed out, would be ample to
provide for any additional equip
ment needed by the two depart
ments, which will utilize all
equipment now in use. In addi-
ton, a 100000 cushion" fund

Million Fire Loss
|At Mansion Doubted

No estimate of the damage done
to the Guggenheim mansion, 280C
Albemarle street NV, by the three
alarm fire which swept the 35-room
house early yesterday has been
made yet, Fire Marshal Raymond
C. Roberts said today, as a special
detail from the Fire Department
continued their investigation OF
the blaze.
Investigators had believed the fire
originated in the drawing room OF
the west wing of the three-story
home, but a checkup showed today
that all electric wiring in the room
is "in order" In addition, the
Fire Department said the room has
been closed ever since Col. M. Rob-
ert Guggenheim and his wife left
for trip to California.
Marshal Roberts discounted q
theory advanced by servants that a
faulty generator in the basement
started the blaze. Investigators said
there is no evidence that the base
ment was ever touched by the fire,
WHICH damaged a numDer OF VaIu-
able paintings upstairs.
William P. McCracken, attorney
for the millionaire Guggenheim fam
lily, discounted unofficial estimates
that the fire caused $1000,000 dam
age, declaring it was impossible to
value the loss in dollars" He be-
Ieves the damage to the house itself
can be satisfactorily repaired. 1t
was indicated that some of the
smoke-blackened paintings might
also be salyaped.

Chilean Government
Loses Support Of
Powerful Leffisfs
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO, Chile, Feb. 1.-The
powerful leftist Popular Front with
drew its support from the govern
ment today after the latter rejected
labor and leftist demands for reor-
ganization of the cabinet.
The Popular Front, which put the
government in power, issued COM
munique accusing Acting President
Alfredo Duhalde of total RESPONSE
bility for the present grave crisis"
and charging that the situation
could drag the country to catas-
trophe of incalculable proportions
Earlier, the Government had ac-
ceded to demands that it lift a state
of siege, proclaimed Monday after
several labor union members were
killed in a clash with police, in re-
turn for cancellation of a Nation
wide strike of 100000 workers which
stalled trade and industry for "a
hours Wednesday.
The Popular Front, headed by the
strong Radical party, charged Presi-
dent Juan Antonio Rios, a fellow
radical, with responsibility for the
breakdown in negotiations which it
had been carrying on for the last
two days with Duhalde, also Radi-
cal party member.
Vice President Duhalde has been
acting President since January 1S
during the illness of President Rios
