The Special Offering of
Women's Spring Coats
at $25
S3O and $35 Values
So readily did Harrisburg women
recognize the exceptional value in
these coats, that the initial showing left
the first line somewhat depleted.
We anticipated this—reinforcements—
the remainder of this purchase—which
was delayed in transit—were rushed up
to fill the ranks.
_Eike the original lot the newcomers embody all
the latest style notes and with the season prac
tically just begun, this offering will indeed be
doubly welcome.

Attorney General Kun to-day gave an
opinion to Superintendent of Public

that there was no authority for pub
lishing as a State document of the
report bf the State supervisor of moth

Miss Helen Glenn, made a report to
the Governor and the Legislature, but
Mr. Kun says that he can find no pro
vision in the law that the supervisor
shall make a report to the Governor
and the Legislature und that on the
contrary the supervisor is to report
annually to the State Board of Educa
tion. It is held that the super
visor can not be considered as the

fies that the supervisor shall act "as
a general field organizer."

upon the government if the men are
called into active service, "you are ad
vised that the discharge of men solely
because of the fact that they are mar
ried or have families is not author
ized."
"When a man's means are ample for
the support of his family in his ab
sence or where his business can be
so conducted in his absence as to af
ford a means of support for his fam
ily, discharge should not be granted,"
says the letter. "The object of dis
charging men as provided in the cir
cular letter is to avoid working a hard
ship upon dependent mentors of their
families and to obviate the necessity
of payment of benefits to such members
while the soldier is In federal service."
Adjutant General Stewart to-day re
ceived a letter from the Department of
the Kast that the Secretary of War had
directed that no more resignations of
National Guard officers "be forwarded
unless exceptionally good reasons are
given."
There have been a number of resig
nations lately, but few more are likely
to be approved.
Orders also came to-day that all reg
ular army officers and officers of the
National Guard organizations in Fed
eral service must wear their uniforms.
