REVISION OF CITY CODES IS ORDERED BY WORKS BOARD

Present Building and Plumbing Codes Antiquated, Decisioncity engineer Davis was Instructed by the Board of Public Works at its meeting. Thursday morning to draw up a new building code for the city of Richmond and also a new plumbing code. Eoth of these codes are old, and are in many respects too "loose," for a city the size of Richmond, the board agreed. Many complaints have been registered on the two. A representative of the Central Union Telephone company appeared before the Board and asked it to take under consideration purchase of poles belonging to that company and now used by the city light plant for wiring on Fort Wayne Avenue and also five poles on Main street between First and Third streets. The matter will be given immediate consideration by the Board, city light plant superintendent and the city attorney. A sum of $100 is named as the purchase price of 29 poles on Fort Wayne Avenue and the five poles on Main street are valued at $8 each. Street to Be Improved. Harry Williams asked the Board to close the street at the Southwest corner of South West A and South West Sixth streets and make it into a 20foot alley. The matter was referred to the city engineer. Also a sewer on South E street between South Sixth and Seventh streets, was petitioned for, and referred to the city engineer. A hearing was held on the improvement resolution of South Fourth and Fort Wayne Avenues, and $5,500 was named as the price for the city's share of the improvement, which includes 10 per cent of cost of curb and gutter, pavement of intersections and any other co3ts up to that amount. A proposition regarding the purchase by the city of the A. H. Rodefeld property was received by the Board and will be taken under consideration. West Side Friends were given permission to have a picnic in the West Seventh street park in August. The city clerk was instructed to notify Herbert Garrett, Sixth and South B streets, to remove a poplar tree on that street which is causing sewer and cistern trouble. TRAINED SOCIAL WORKERS NEEDED, SAYS N. THOMAS "The Allies did not win on the battle fields of Europe by use of a middling policy of half way efforts and neither will such a policy work in charity," said Norman Thomas in the open leci ure at the Young Friends' Conference Thursday morning. Thomas explained that in his experience most charity organizations base their work on a middling policy, made up to a good extent of a desire to be kind but nothing more. This must be buttressed by a stronger philosophy, be said. "We must have trained soical workers, and not those who will do the thing half way, if we are to help humanity," said Thomas.

MIDSUMMER FROCKS MADE OF VOILE, ORGANDY AND NET ARE SIMPLE IN DESIGN AND MORE POPULAR THAN EVER

In June we were knee deep m a dozen different materials and it was hard, indeed quite impossible, to predict which would take the lead. Midsummer find us, however, with almost all eliminated save three: indestructible voile, net, both plain and figured, and organdy, which perhaps leads them all. For a time in the early summer pongee threatened supremacy, and taffeta, chiffon, linene, and crepe de chine all clamored loudWater Supply Adequate For City, Says Meyers Richmond has an adequate water supply, no matter how long a hot spell should last, says Karl Meyers, of the city water works, Thursday. The city is supplied from never-failing springs, and there need be ho special economy in the use of water, nor any fear that the supply will give out.

Less Bruises, Cuts, Wounds, Since Demise Of J. B. Corn Less arnica and other household remedies for cuts and bruises are being used by local doctors since prohibition went into effect, says Dr. J. H. Kinsey, city health officer. There has also been a marked decrease in the number of slight accidents owing their origin to Intoxication, says Dr. Kinsey. In battling old John Barley Corn, people often fell on their faces, or tumbled down stairs, thereby cutting and bruising their heads and faces. Doctors in factory hospitals also say that their cases have been cut in half and that the workmen are . much more efficient than before. There have been but few cases of sunstroke reported this year, and Dr. Kinsey says that the absence of alcoholio drinks is a partial cause of this. Criminal Cases To Be Tried Soon Freeman Five criminal cases remain on the docket in 'Wayne circuit court, for trial, and with the exception of the Krueger case, all of these will be tried next month, according to Prosecuting Attorney Gath Freeman. The prosecuting attorney and other court officials will leave Friday on their vacations, but will return before the end of the month. Dates have not been set for any of the trials next month, but the cases will be brought to issue and tried as quickly as possible after vacations are over, Freeman said Thursday. The docket shows the following still untried: Mary Stephens, forgery; Charles Stinson, petit larceny; Lambert Grimm, blackmail; E. N. Gilbert, grand larceny; F. W. Krueger, manslaughter.

After-war Prosperity ' !

Reflected In Clothing Sales, Say Merchants ' Richmond clothing and dry goods merchants are all optimistic regarding the retail trade this summer. Dealers in men's clothing and shoes report that their sales have been Increased two fold In some cases this year over last year. This is due to the return of doughboys eager to get into civilian clothing. Merchants dealing in ladies' and children's wearing apparel say that their sales also have been increased. Shoe dealers say that although shoes are higher and are going still higher, and that their patrons grumble about the price, still they demand good shoes and continue to pay for them. This increase In retail goods can be attributed to several causes, they say; chief of them being the men returned from the army, in most cases buying entire new outfits. Women have given up practicing rigid economy in the matter of dresses and are buying new clothes. After long and serious experiments an Italian scientist has decided that dogs wag their tails for conversational purposes.
