The full commission, Including tht city ' manager and' recorder, were present, as well as the city engineer, who had a few suggestions to make as to future water supply, on which no definite' action was-taken last. night, but referred for f uturo ret-erence,. 'The feature of the evening's ses sion was the passage of an ordinance providing for the immediate collec tion of the street improvement as sesBments on South Fourth street the longest street in the city. This new ordinance provides i good opportunity for the property owners oh that street to sign up with the city on the ten:year plan, and thus aid the city in a final de position of this old case.

But Officer Realized That Henceforth Young Austrian In His Command ' Was an American. , The Second Indiana artillery is re sponsible for this story: In ono of Its companies there is, a young Austrian, who loves America with a greater in tensity than ho hates tho despotism "back home." He was one of the first men, from his home town to enlist in that regiment. A superior officer had come to in spect the company. He gave direc tions as to tho way he was to be sn lutod, etc. "Now, we'll try you out and see If you've got all my direc tions," he ended. "We'll begin by call Ing'the roll. - "As your names are coiled advance. tiV steps, salute your superior offi cer and answer 'Here.'" The clerk took up the list of names am), began calling. And lo, the Aus trian's name, like "Abou Ben Ad hem's," led all the rest. For a few minutes the young fellow stood hesi tating, because he had not understood much of what the officer had sold. . Encouragingly the officer started to raise his hand. A broad smile of re lief spread over the Austrian's face. A few rapid steps he was across the room, seized hl.s superior officer's hand and gave it a hearty American shnke. Amid roars of laughter the officer ruefully examined his crushed fingers. "He's nn American now, all right," he suld sagely. By the time that August rolls round each, year women's eyes stray nwny from summer millinery and such new headwear as they buy Is prophetic of fall. In the late summer they fa vor something quite different from the bats of midsummer, uo matter- how beautiful these may have been,, und Incline to tailored headwear made of silks and other fabrics. Outing lints and between-senson sport huts lntcr est them, but straws and flowers are things of the past even In July. They continue to wear them, but not to buy them. v Here are three of tho new dcnil season hats with which fair woman will adorn her head until October sets her thinking of winter, and fall show Ibrs of winter millinery tempt hep to anticipate hor needs. These are tailored hats that seem to bo placed right when worn with light summer frocks or with tailored suits on cooler days. They play a necessary role In fashion's dramn and are a part of the pageant of tho seasons like the turn ing leaves of autumn. , A la-oly hat of beige color and navy taffeta, at the top of the group, has Its brim faced with navy blue taf feta and navy blue chenille threaded through to covering of top and side crown, In-, beautifully even stitches. Small oblong pieces, of the beige-colored: taffeta, tiro edged with chenille and set one lifter another about the base of the crown; Dnrk blue beads fasten each pleea to the side crowm -.- ". ..!,'', " " At the bottom of ,tho' group there Is a small shape having a crown cov ered with white taffeta embroidered with woo). The brim and crown hand are of nnvy blue fatfuta, and there are four pairs of small navy hluo wings at the right side, . The. brim rolls up at the left. Tho shape and the fine work required in making this model will commend It to smartly dressed matrons. . The remaining hat Is ono of many models for fall In which narrow rib bon covers the body of the shnpo, with various kinds of facings some' times long-nnpped heaver , cloth, In contrasting color, sometimes panne velvet and sometimes a fancy braid.
