Officials of the Philadelphia Xnvy
Yard have reported te Washington thnt
seven tv-foet strip of concrete in tlif
Inge 1000-feet drydeck nt the yard
as sagged, making ue of the in-'"
crane which passes ever the top of the
structure dangerous.
The cause of the pul'lns nway of the
support of the cencrete platform of the

dais. It is the 6ccend break in the
Ig structure. Last summer the coif ceif
erete fleer sank about seven Inchci.
There nre various opinions held bv
engineers as te the cause.
Seme think that there may be n sub
terranean stream cutting nwnv the sup
port underneath. Others held that the

te attend the Trl-tanta! Inttraatlebal
Convention, which will assemble this
afternoon en the Millien Dellar Pier,
with representatives present from every
State In the Union and every province
in Canada,
The plans for a constitutional con
vention te draw up en organic law fur
the association were suggested by in
coming delegates as a means of settling
the trl-ennlnl dispute regarding the
relations of the Y. M. C. A.' te the
various churches.
It was pointed out that under present
arrangements, each local Y. M. O. A. Is
automenous, nnd can make its own rules
regarding active and associate members,
together with the eligibility of each for
office In the local, association. The
International convention, however,
which meets every three years, has al
ways suggested certain general rules
governing membership and these sug
gestions have been genernly observed
by the local associations.
It was pointed out last night that
today's convention, which It Is expected
will be attended by 4000 delegates, will
be controlled by "Iny" members, and
that the paid secretaries and ether
workers would be In the minority.

I The old-time Ulster Ceat had many
friends because of its generous propor
tions and cold-resisting features. But at
its best the Ulster was a somewhat un
couth and awkward garment.
I The "Styler" and "Standard" are coats
of the Ulster type, which are "smart" in
appearance, as they have none of the
inelegancies of the old-style garment, and
yet which give the same practical and
satisfying results.
They arc made in a wide range of overceatings in
both imported and-dttmatic fabrics, all ei which are i
especially well suited te this type of overcoat. These
clothes have been imported exclusively for our pur
poses and include many attractive novelties in fancy
plaid backs and plain Shetlands of superior appear
