- The city commissioners' meeting

time . President McKennon s gave,
fell on his desk until adjournment at
a late. hour.
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.
Historic Case.
This Is the final step in a case
which has interested the city, and
especially the property owners or.
South Fourth street for many years
The case has been through all- tht
courts, and back again, and has be

While at it, and in line with its
previous patriotism, the .city recorder
was instructed to invest $25,000 in

money thus invested, while not only
aiding the federal government in its
war activities, will pay four and a
half per cent semi-annual dividends.
The city treasurer, as a - last act
of patriotism, was instructed to issue
a call for ?15,000 worth of city warrants.
The usual bills and salaries were
allowed and ordered paid.:.- -

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.
The Inst was chosen for tho pretty
model pictured. Porcelain blue, rose,
orchid and other gay, soft colors ha're.
been liked for hats, of this character.
