But prove the merits of these Suits. Take the price of Taffeta by the yard
—then the trimming; for many of these are handsomely trimmed—then the making. )
' One great thing, too, adds to the value of a silk suit. The silk market is
almost bankrupt of silk of any sort, and black Taffeta especially seems scarce and
high enough to become obsolete. > : ‘‘ •* 1

WHO WILL BE MADE
ASSISTANT CHIEF?
Age Limit Will Bar Ball
Probation Officer Gloer
Is Spoken Of.
Will It be Assistant Chief Jett or
Assistant Chief Qloer?
This le the great problem In police
circles since the creation of tho new
offlec was made certain by the favor
able report of the ordinance commit
tee.
One thing seems certain,* despite
many prediction* to the contrary. I
will not be "Assistant Chief Ball."
A number of the friends of tho for
mer chief had expected that when hi*
friends on the board of police commis
sioner* voted for Jennings for chief
that the others would como across and
vote for Ball for assistant and possibly
there woe such a silent understanding.
City Attorney Mayion rules, how
ever, that Boll Is not eligible; that Is,
he says no man over 40 years old can
be elected to tho force under civil serv
ice. That, It appear*, eliminates Ball.
Captain Jett haa always been spoken
of as the probable assistant chief. There
la no doubt that ho will bo considered,
and. at present, conditions seem to
point to his being chosen.
Another candidate, however, haa
loomed up. This Is J. M. Gloer, pro
bation officer, than whom there le prob
ably not a more efficient and popular
man In the service.
One of tho commissioners haa atated
positively he would vole for Gloer. Thl*
leaves the race between Jett and Oloer.
