fluence is even stronger than it waa earlier in the season.1 Turbans flare up sharply away- from the face in Napoleon fashion. Other demure Continentals) snuggle down closely over the ear with a rakishness that Is adorable. While these are admittedly the favor i(es Of the spring, the straight-brimmed sailor has lost none of.lts piquant charm. It Is shown in more delightful combine tions of color and materials ttuin evsr before. If women could be said to have a "standardized" hat tha straight, brimmed sailors is assuredly It.

There Is a certain piquancy about the chal. lenging line of the brim which makes these Hats 'vastly becoming and "youthii tying." SHOES What is real -wartime. economy? It is) important tiling to decide for it li something that we all must practice. It does, not mean buying the least expensive things that you can find tor they are usually tbe most expensive In the end. Take the case of shoes, for Instance, Buying cheap shoes to save money la like stopping a clock to save time.

When you consider the many calls Of the world today for leather and everything that goes into the making of shoes, the wonder grows that they do not cost far more than they are priced today. Really good leather will give you splen. did service. It will wear for a long, long time and grow old gently. Just as in gloves, it paya In tho end to pay a little more at the beginning, so in shoes it is wise economy to buy tha best leather that you can afford.

The new shoes of spring enow many Interesting points. Dark brown kid will be the most popular for general wear, soft brown kid vamps with suede up. pers of the same colors. While for gala occasions nothing can tak the place of patent leather. All these at Batterman'a, '( FOOT COMFORT SERVICE t)EPARTMENT At Price 4 Rosenbaum's, 'Broadway at Ralph Avenue.

It is also lnteneded to Invite Mayor Hylan and members Of the Public Service Com mission.

Superintendent O'Keefe, of the Ridge wood Depot of the Transit Company and four other railroad men. were seated at a table in the rear of the halt while the meeting was in progress. They hld aloof from taking part but displayed marked interest in what wss said and done. In view of their not being invited to the meeting their presence nevertheless did not prevent the speakers from talking plainly and telling their thoughts concerning the company. The clamor of the public against the operation and condition of cars was taken as a cue for a plan to distribute complaint cards among the passengers containing instructions to specify tha cause and nature of delay and space for other remarks which the complainant may consider useful to the committee.

No time was lost in drafting the form of card to be used. It was stated the latter will be ready for distribution among delegates at the meeting of the United Civics next Monday night At the expense of the Central organization 50,000 of these blanks will be printed. As these run out more will be pruned, it is understood the affiliated organizations will also print the blanks at their own expense. The allied body's determination to co operate with other organisations was indicated In the appointment of a committee- to confer the transit committee Of the Broadway Merchants' Club. Owen J.

Kassel. president, outlined the pur pose Of ths campaign. He criticised the Public Service, which he said "has done nothing for us" and added that the time may come when it will be urged that representatives for each borough comprise the Commission and they be elected by the people, "not appointed by the Governor to fulfill any political obligation." Christian Smith, chairman of the tran sit committee of the Rldgewood Park Board of Trade, spoke on previous efforts of his association to get Improvements.

Agitation Progressing. Col.1 Timothy S. Williams, president of' the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has taken issue with the-Broadway Merchants' Club In relation to Its campaign to raise 1200,000. for better transit service. In a letter received by William A.

Pothier, president of the Merchants' Club, the Colonel Intimates such-a. course would result -in a grave temptation to lawyers and and advises that before, any such sura Is spent on lawyers a. conference be heU with Messrs. Dempsey and Siebert and learn from them what radical difficulties musrUha removed and what defects be remedied. The Colonel closes with the thought that ha Is "quite aura that such a conference would save your association least when read at conference of the cam paign committee during tha early part of the week the contents of the letter were regarded fts sarcastic and an attempt to discredit the campaign.

On tha other hand the viewpoint was taken Col. Williams is Tightened and is anxious to offset the preliminary steps of the Cam paign before tney grow to large proportions. However, President Pothier in his response, has endeavored to make known to CoL Wllljama what the association has started out to accomplish; that the committee will welcome ths conference referred to and. lurthermore, there peed be no fear about the temptation on the part of lawyers and politicians because once the fund is secured it will he wisely spent. It is evident Col.

Williams' read one of the Brooklyn papers account of the opening meeting. which referred to President Pothier chairman of the raise the money. This 'was erroneous as Former Deputy Attorney Gen eral David Senft had the honors placed upon his shoulders. The letter was dated February 14, the Say after the meeting and reads as follows; "My dear Pothier: "I notice that the Broadway Merchants' Club has decided to raise a 'permanent' fund of $200.000 'to employ counsel and pay 'the necessary expenses to fight the B. R.

for transit service In Brooklyn, and particularly. In the Broad way and Myrtle avenue lections and the adjacent territory" and. that you are chairmari Ot th tpttimittee- to' raise tha monev. vM j'' ''tbmptatipnVHo and politicians'! But 'in these 'days, when the saving of unnecessary expenditures is. a patriotic duty, permit me to suggest that before you spend any sueb.

-turn, on lawyers It might be wise to bve a eon-ferencawith our Dempsey and Siebert who have charge of elevated and surface transportation respectively, and ascertain from them what very, radical difficulties must be reroove'd before any substantial. Improvements in service can be expected and what defects you see in present' operation can be remedied. These gentlemen will call upon you at any time it may suit your and 1 am quite aiire that such a' conference would save your association at least S1S9.S99." "I Idid not see the article referred to," wrote Mr. Pothier, "but we had a meeting of the club the other day and the follow ing resolution was passed: "That a committee be appointed to make the necessary arrangements to organize a campaign to secure better tran sit and service from the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company and 'that individual membership be solicited at each, furthermore, the campaign for improve ment be limited to the Broadway section and tributary lines. The committee to be known ss the 'Elevated, Surface and Subway Transit Improvement Committee.

"This haa been appointed and- we have our cnairman as per enclosed list. I am Informed by the chair man some time in the near future when our committee is well organised an ap pointment will ba made as you auggest with Messrs. Dempsey ana Bleoert. "Ae to the other part of your letter I no one need feel tha least bit troubled to the temptation on tha part of lawyers and If a fund Is secured it win be wiaelv Assurance that tha club will have the backing of the public In the campaign was shown In the contributions of 11.00 each that have arrived at the club and letters containing sptclflc complaints which the committee may use In preparing Its ease. In order to the interest It was proposed to get up a small button somewhat on the order of tha Red Cross campaign button as a receipt to those who have contributed their dollar for membership.

A-committee consisting of Charles A. Myers, Charles P.

Those who get out early on Dollar Day are going to be agreeably surprised. It goes without eaylng that the early birds are going to catch the worm. They are going to get the cream of every thing that's going.

Even though the storekeepers have stocked up in anticipa tion of a big rush, tnere are, ox course, many articles more desirable than soma others that will be captured by the early birds. Therefore it is urged that you get out on the lob EAKiiY. It is the aim of The Chat to do the best can by its advertising patrons and Its readers.

The system was denounced in critical terms and the recommendation was made that the entire transit matter be turned over to the Public Utilities Committee of the Legislature for investigation. According to Oeorge J. Rhodtue, counsel for the association, if the people hope to secure any relief they should demand that the Legislature act. An investigation should be started, he said, by Senator George F.

Thompson, chairman of the Utilities Committee. In this way be said tha reason for existing conditions will be learned and a means found by which the much desired improvement can be secured. Mr. Rhodius characterised the B. R.

T. system as "a damnable outrage!" He attacked the type of trains used In the subways, declaring they were nothing more than tinder boxes. In the event of an accident or collision these cars would be like Just so much paper, and would go up in flames, resulting IB a terrible loss of life, he added.

In a reference to the bill introduced by Assemblyman- William H. O'Hare, to widen Old Stony Road for the Installation of a trolley connection between Rldgewood and Cypress Hills, Mr, Kas-ael warned the members to keep a close watch on tha proposition. He declared that if tha bill meets favorable action, the association should demand that proper men be placed on the Condemnation Commission. Perpetual commissioners and political favorites, he said, should be eliminated as he has learned from past experiences that such men do not aot in the interest of the 'people. Regarding the courthouse end police station, Mr.

Kassel suggested that the association write to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment asking that the matter be placed on tha calendar for an early hearing. He advised that they agitate now so they won't be told again that the city ia too near tha debt limit, aa was the excuse of the last, administration.
