A close second are corduroy coats, many of which are fur trimmed. Other pile fabrics, such as broadtail, lynx and Persian lamb are receiving con siderable attention. In cloth, coats of heavy cheviots and camel's hair effects are being asked for. These also are trimmed with fur. In fact, the demand for fur trimmings is becoming stronger as the season advances. Flare effects are particularly de sirable. The coat with belt in the front only continues to be one of the biggest sellers of the season. Belted back coats are also receiving much attention. The collars are usually convertible, but some military collars are also included in the orders. THE NEW NECKWEAR In spite of the vogue for the closed and semi-closed collar, the better types of open-neck collars with the high pleated flare or cape effect in the back continue in good position, according to the Dry Goods Econo mist. Some of the finer stocks of flesh colored tulle and fine soft maline laces are used with dancing frocks. In this type dainty rosettes or flyaway bows are attached at the back or side. In one model noted recently the bow appeared under the chin, at the top Instead of the base of the collar. For the more practical styles turn overs and tabs of the fine lace, satin or French crepe .are used. These are smart in the sand and putty shades so favored in waists, and also in the delicate flesh tints. For wear with street dresses this typo of collar is mounted on dainty net or lace surplice fronts either en tirely closed or so as to leave the V exposed.

THII CITY SHOULD GET DOCH FEES [Continued Front First Page] for 1914: others were suggested by other members from time to time dur ing the general discussion of many problems of importance, to the city. Following the presentation of his report Mr. McFarland opened a rapid lire discussion of the proposed city fofrester ordinance now pending in City Council. While he rather com mended the proposed selection of a forester ordinance now pending in be within the jurisdiction of a shade tree commission, as provided by law. City Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor, superintendent of parks and public property, came in for a greut deal of pointed quizzing on the part or the league secretary as to the practical working out of the shade tree law via a forester only. Incidentally Mr. Mc- Farland quoted scores of cities where in this idea is working out satisfactor ily and successfully. J. V. W. Reyn ders, vice-president of the Pennsylva nia Steel Company and president of Steelton's council, said that at first he was opposed to the shade tree coinmis- I s;on, but since Steelton adopted it, he [highly favors and advocates the idea. Mr. I'mberger Asks Questions Benjamin F. Umberger, secretary of the City Planning Commission, took much tHo same stand as Mr. McFar land on the shade tree law. In re l'uting: the contention that tlie law was hound to prove unpopular because property holders would not wish to be assessed tor the planting ol' trees when the question of equal division of shade might be raised, Mr. Uniberger point ed out that a' similar objection had been suggested when the assessment answer to the paving problem was be ing threshed out in Harrisburg. Mr: I'mberger pointedly asked, also, if Harrisburg was getting all it should from its Cit>' Planning Commission. Of particular interest to all Harris burg citizens, in addition to the shade tree law, was the wharf problem along the river wall. Mr. McFarland urged the adoption of some plan for the elimination of the present opening tin der the Market street bridge for the wharf. President Vance C. McCor liilck asked whether or not the city could not impose and collect a license fee or dockage for the Paxton street wharf. City Councilmcn Attciul City Council had been invited in a body to attend the session and all the members, with the exception of Com missioner VV. I>. Gorgas, were on hand. These included Mayor John K. Royal and Commissioners W. H. 1 ,vnch, M. llarvey Taylor and Harry F. bowman. The Telegraph in particular and newspapers in general came In for some kindly pats of appreciation for the determined stand on the question of clearing the poles and wires fiom the city streets. Following the general discussion and the adoption of the secretary's re port, officers for the ensuing year were elected, all the former incum bents being unanimously returned to their respective positions, as follows; President, Vance C. McCormick: vice-presidents, Henderson Gilbert and E. 'A. Wallower: secretary, J. Horace McFarland, and treasurer, J. Austin Brandt. Decries Tree Cutting Mr. McFarland's report was illus trated with lantern slides proving his ! contentions and bringing out the 1 truths of his arguments. One picture J showed conclusively, as Mr. McFar -1 land put it, "that the workman wno j cut off the young trees along the River I Front when building the wall used his |ax better than his brain." j Mr. McFarland bitterly decried the cutting of these trees and said it is a i burning shame that the contractors [were so allowed to mutilate the park ! age. The question of wharfage fees was | discussed at some length and the league secretary pointed out that other cities charge private business concerns wharfage fees and declared he knows of no good reason why Harrisburg I should not receive some of tho bene fits accruing from the coal and sand wharves along the Hiver Front park way. He said that the wharf at Market street Is absolutely unnecessary and urged Its removal as soon as possible. Five Cents lo Wildwoori Speaking of the parks, Mr. McFar land pointed out what remarkable im provements havo been made under tire expert advice of W. H. Manning, park NOVEMBER 2R, 1914 i expert. He said that Wildwood has not | yet been made accessible to the public at large because the Harrlsburg Kail ways Company has consistently re fused to establish a 5-cent fare to this park. He said it would really pay the company as well as the public if this lower rate were granted. Speaking of pole removal activities, he said; "It is in point here to call attention to the fact that the suggestion as to the progressive removal of poles from the streets originated with the league In 1912, and. at tirst jeered at, has since been taken up with the notable effect seen in Third street and in Mar ket street, and probably likely to be seen in other streets before many years." Mr. McFarland praised the Tele graph for its co-operation in helping to get the poles removed, mentioning an article on this subject printed last night. Street paving was then discussed, and with it the many streets in the city that have dead ends, sharp curves and bad humps. In connection with these he spoke of the dangerous "dead man's curve" at the Fourth street ap proach of the Mulberry street viaduct. He said that a serious accident will certainly happen there some day be ! cause of the tremendous amount of ] traffic at this point. The Dock street 1 bridge was also pronounced danger , ous. "Another thing that is a nuisance , in this city is the smoke from all these factories and the railroads. The Mu nicipal League of this city ought to do something about this trouble." Slides were then shown of many i illegal signs that are placed and JOYCE FAIR AND ERNEST TRUEX IN "THE DUMMY" AT MAJESTIC TUESDAY k& w ifn JST* tip IOTH TfflKMr * j - The character of "Barney Cook," in "The Dummy," which is coming to the Majestic, Tuesday evening, was founded on a real "boy detective." tin* son of a I'nited States Secret Service man.

IT'S SAFE To give any smoker a b&x of King Oscar 5c Cigars AT CHRIST BECAUSE- -they arc just as good during the holidays as at any other time of the year.

Box of 25, $1.15 Box of 50, $2.25 Box of 100, $4.5( tacked up along the streets. Two 1a particular were noticeable and they were the ones that are In front of the Courthouse and the booze and cigar signs at the Fourth street ap proach of the Mulberry street bridgo facing the Capitol building. Mr. McFarland then urged the ap pointment of the shade tree commis sion. He mentioned fifty-eight com munities In New Jersey that have shade tree commissions. In every ono of these he told of good results that have been obtained In the past ten years. Some of these are cities, such as Newark, Jersey City, Paterson and Atlantic City. "The shade tree law that that State has is the same as the one in this State, and which is being used successfully in many of the cities of Pennsylvania," he explained. "I am almost certain that there is not one healthy tree in Harrisburg, because of the neglect in oaring for them properly. The worst trees that, can be found are right here in this city and I, as president of the Ameri can Civic Association, am laughed at because of the condition of the trees in my own city. The advantage of the shade tree law is that the com mission of unpaid citizens is likely to lie far more expert than any Inci dental forester, obtainable at such salary as Harrisburg is likely to bo willing to pay. Such a forester would be a good executive under a shadt* tree commission, but as a primary force he can hardly be expected to be satisfactory or competent at the price. "Moreover, the expense, under the city forester order, is likely to be very much greater 1o the city than under the shade tree commission."
