will get through the house of origin.
The weding-oui process will then
start
In comparison with last car s sen
Mon, the present Legislature vo date
has mado an enviable record for quick
dispatch of business. Six new laws nnd
the resolution authorizing the Madiay
probe of Hudson county are on the
books. One bill remains in tho gov

Three or four other measures will be
turned over 10 him todnv
Up to ditto 41(1 bills and twelve reso

"Iti view of divided sentiment regard
ing a change iu the classification of the
cities of Reading and Erie, it seems to
me that it would be wise to await any
action which the Legislature might feel
like taking before issuing a proclama
tion placing these cities in the second
class However, if the Legislature
shall not cure to take such action. I
hall promptly Issue a proclamation.
Tne moasure provides that all tariff
changes shall be passed upon by the
Public Service Commission before" they 1
become effective. It is required that
when a company files an application to
change Its rates it shall be accompanied
by data upon which tho proposed in
crease is b.iscd. If the commission finds
the proposed Increase not justified by
the data it shall deny the application.
Authority to investigate tbtf char
acter of hfrvice rendered by a utility
company and to direct and secure its
Improvement Is vested in the Public
Service Commission by a second bill
It provides that:

A Clearance Sale of the Finest
Woolen Dress Fabrics
Only once before in its history has the Dar
lington Store made such a drastic reduction in
Woolen Dress Fabrics, but present conditions
call for a radical readjustment and we have de
cided to clear away all of our high-price materials
ot once even though so doing means a very great
loss to us. Please remember that these are the
finest wool weaves obtainable, a great part of
them the famous Priestly English-made. Of
some things there is considerable yardage, others
are in smaller quantities. Mostly in black and
naw.

Values That Are Solving
the Furniture Problems in
Thousands of Homes
Small wonder, for, to see this exhibit, with its new
jJ lowered prices, is to feel an irresistible impulse to
possess some of this handsome Furniture. The price
cutting on the immense stocks that fill our Salesfloors
and enormous warehouses has been as drastic as it
has been sweeping. Greater reductions than we have .
ever made in our history and are ever likely to make
again. Large losses for us, it is true, but in bringing
prices dpwn to the lowest level they have been in
nearly half a dozen years we have done the thing
that is characteristic of the Van Sciver House lift this
February Sale in the matter of values head and shoul
ders over any event of the kind in the Furniture Field.
While the Furniture prides of the old peace days are
never to be expected again, we say to our customers
thait the lowered prices of the new era of prosperity
are here. There is no need to wait lonsrer. Thp
lEESSlYL1" clearance - a preparation for
the more promising days now be
ginning to dawn on the country.
