I. I did not s.iythiit uks dl'iusted with

disappointed with the pcopli. of New Knir
IiiihI, especially the people of llhnde Island
for ni llnn they hid taken in connection
with the Southern New Knuland matter.
?. I did stale that the discontinuance
of work on the Palmer extension was a purl
or ceneral curtailment or construction at
this tlineof the year.
a This was In answer to urgent request
fiint 1 state definitely when work ould be
rciumi-d. I replied to them that it depended
on weather conditions and our board of
directors.
Parneraplis 4,5 and ft satisfactory.
7 This Is not a fair statement of what
was said In resard to the people of Khode
Island
M. Mr. Hliss .tated that the State of Ithode
Island and the ity of Providence had mud
lame tin rl Kir improvements on account of
the Southern New lautlatid Hallway,
asked Jliem whether they had clven tl
Southern New Knuland Hallway mi exclu
s.ve use of them and they replied that they
had not, and admitted that they were pub
lie properly and not Jhe property of the
Southern New Kindand

10. That is practically correit, cvrepr the
Inst cluii-e, whk h says. "Hut Mr. I'lthueh
should not be blamed If the extension were
nbandomsl." I did not even mention that
the extension would Is abandoned.
11. Mr. Hliss liimeff made the statement
that if trartle iiKreenients ,.r,. made with

"It should formulate a minimum stand

posnensed by anv authorized graduate

independently operations in general

The committee should consider the
desirability of listing the names of those
men who desire to practise surgery and

"The committee should seek a means of

or provincial law a dislinct degree sup

shnll bo conferred ujxm physicians os-
nesMtig the requirements recognized by
this law as necessary to be possessed by

in addition to their medical course, fill

"The committee should authorize and

technique of surgery under the direc

is legally or morally allowed to operate

"This is not. it seems to me, oieu to
argument. This would protect unsus
pecting patients who have no way of
discriminating between trained sutgeons

I Guaranteeing knitted neckwear is something new.
But to be perfectly franU with you, the maker of these
scarfs is not taking any chances. His neckwear is too
well made for that. Still, to get a knitted scarf at half
price and a guarantee along with it, is better than fight
ing for Durazzo and losing it after all.
I These beautiful knitted scarfs arc designed with four
color cross-stripes and they look as smart as the Balkan
Allies feel. Vc really cannot say too much about the
quality, nor enough about the value. They arc dollar
scarfs anywhere but at Saks' today. And any scarf
which is not on the job will be replaced by one that is.

A Proposition
You Ought to
Get Into
' In a world where there
arc so many proposi-,
tions one should leave
alone, it is a pleasure
to submit one which
every man can ftct into
with profit.
' The proposition in
question is a double
breasted blue chinchilla
overcoat which, for dis
tinctiveness of lines, has
no counterpart in
double breasted over
coat styles.
It is a copy of an Eng
lish model the crea
tion of a fashionable
London tailor, and there
never yet was a double
breasted garment with
half its style.
r A dressy overcoat,
practical for day and
evening wear, with a
military spryness in its
lines a sort of civilian
garment with a chip on
its shoulder!
Plain or belted back,
a trifle more than knee
length, and made with
extremely soft revers
that arc a radical de
parture from the obso
lete iron-clad fronts.
r Has just a suggestion
of shapeliness through
the waist and back, con
tributing to the gar
ment as a whole, yet
barely noticeable alone.
Fashionable in fabric,
correct in color, fault
less in fit and finish, a
triumph of tailoring,
and the soul of style!
