THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. Pantalette Undoubtedly Here j NEW SYSTEM LIKELY BRITISH WOUNDED RETURNING FROM FIRING LINE ASSESSORS OF STATE MAY USE SALES METHOD NEXT YEAR. BERNEGKER MAKES STATEMENT Declares Plan Will Be a Revolutionary Change In Nebraska; Believes Public Will Accept It. ! fim iwm Mt Diversity of detail 1b a striking char acteristic In tho new models. In tlio morning blouse to wear with the tail ored suit It is tho brilliant coloring and odd fastening that is the great style change from tho preceding season. Made of velvet, satin, faille, georgette crepe of taffeta, it matches the petti coat or its now rival, pantalettes, of tho same material, generally a kldllko ilnlshed satin. The blouso and panta lettes are now attached to each other. Tho pantalettes, which are made on masculino trouser lino as to width and general shapo, arc no longer than the short skirt worn over them. Tho hem of tho skirt, undulating or fall ing in points, partially conceals tho Party Frock Party gowns may bo fashioned in a froth of lace and net, in layers of chiffon or net, or both over a silk foundation. Or thoy aro made of the now and beautiful taffetas. And no inattor how airy and unsubstantial thoy may bo, bands of fur aro very likely to appear on them. Embroid eries of silver thread, tho introduction of silver laces, and a use of span gled trimming lends them life and sparkle. When designed for youth ful wearers trimmings aro to ho spar ingly used. A lovely model appears in the pic ture above, made of taffeta. This silk is shown in u new and substantial looking weave, in all tho light colors and in fascinating opalescent effects. Any of them will bo suited for devel opment into a gown liko that shown horo. Tho bodlco is simplicity itself, so far as Bhnpo is concerned. It is mere ly a broad band of tho cllk wrapped about tho flguro nnd fastened at nno side. It Is overlaid by an embroid ered band of chiffon hi which silver threads and spangles &ro wrought in to tho pattern. It la supported by suspenders of black velvet ribbon over tho Bhduldors, edged with scant ruf Jlles of mallneB In blacl pantalettes or delusively gives them tho appearance of a tight drop skirt. Sometimes the pantalettes are drawn in liko bloomers. More frequently thoy aro edged by bands of fur. Tho lacy pantalettes of last season of tho old-fashioned kind and longer than tho skirt are almost never seen now. In the evening gowns the pantalette is confined to tho chnrmcuso drop skirt, which is almost lost to view un der tho diaphanous outer skirts, long and short, that hang over it. This pan talette drop skirt Is pretty becauso It indicates the long, slender lines of tho limbs more than a mcro drop skirt would and gives the samo appearanco without shackling the wearer's movements. of Taffeta Tho skirt is moderately wide and Ilnlshed with a heavy cord at tho bot tom which weights It nnd preserves a little ilaro. It is cut so that a bit of draping is introduced at tho right side, where a pretty spray of little chiffon rosnn. sot nn n lnnf wlrn fu-mmri I gray-green ribbon), is tacked to tho skirt in several places. These roses aro in pastel colorings and add a gay, youthful touch that looks as if it might havo sprung from tho mind of tho young wearer. Slippers or high-laced boots of sntln aro worn with dancing frocks, to match them in color. Those mada of silver or gold tlssuo have tho ad vantage of looking woll with a frock of any color. Silk hose matching tho slippars complete tho details of tho costumo properly. Panslcs on Hats. Hrlght-huod panslcs havo found a placo on many hats In satin, blue, black, corlso and whlto, ns woll as tho rich pansy shndos, and thoy also fig ure on evening bodices and sometimes on morning ones. Lincoln.- Next year's valuation or real estate of tho state will aeo as sessment work of a sensible, snno character attempted by the officials whoso Job it is to perform this difficult task. That Is tho unanimous verdict of the county assessors with whom Secretary Uernockor of the slate as sessment hoard is nowjioldlng sec tional conferences over The state. Tho desire of county assessors to uso the sales method, a method long advocated by advanced students of taxation In Nebraska and other stntcs and In fact used in many states at tho present time, Is most pronounced, ac cording to Mr. lJernecker. "It will ho a revolutionary change In this state," says Mr. Bernecker, "but I believe that tho people aro fair minded enough to want to see it In stalled into our tax operations. I opine that no businesslike Nebraskan will ohject to paying taxes on an equitable basis if ho feels that tho taxes of his neighbors nre levied on tho same basis and if ho feelr. that tho stato over, taxes are levied upon val uations set uniformly nnd Justly upon nil property of the sumo class, and be tween all classes of property." Normal System Is Lax. That the books kept at the Statu Normal school at Chadron resemble a butchers' block hook, Is the report of Stato Accountant DeFraucc In his showing made to the governor after Inspecting the Chadron Normal. "The books have been kept In such a way that their auditing is impossible," is tho wording, of tho report. From June, 1011, to February, 1912, tho ilrst eight months of tho school, tho cash book was kept In n couple of stenogra pher's note books, and the cash hook which has been In use since that time has no pnge numbers. Tho books show a balance of $2,810 on hand on September 1 of this year, but vouchers for four years back will have to bo chocked over before It can be ascertained if the amount is cor rect, face. Says Some Roads Bed. According to Hallway Commission er T. L. Hall, who has just returned from an aiito trip over the slate sas tho romls in some portions of the south part of the stato are in verv poor shape. Mr. Halls says that It ap pears to bo tho idea of somo rond workers that the dirt should be piled In the center of tho roadway and left In a ridge, thus compelling automo biles to take one sldo or tho other of the ridge". He would remedy tho mat tor by smoothing down the rldgo and leaving tho clods, etc., at the sides of tho roads, thus compelling the auto mobiles to take tho center of (he road nnd packing it down to a smooth sur Soldiers Not Exempt. WIHard M. Evans, an old soldier of near Marsland, Dawes county. though' military services excused him from taxation nnd ho wrote the nttornev genoral's office for confirmation. The nttornev general has written Evaw Hint military service does not provide for sueh nn exemption. Fvnns sn ho purchased his homestead with pension money and only has an old team to stock It with. $5,000,000 to Run State. It will cost over $5,000,000 to con duct all activities under tho dlrci lion of tho stato of Nebraska for 1015, a report by Stato Auditor Smith In dicates. For tho first ten months ot the year tho state's expenditure-! wore $1,549,100. These expenditures include thoso for all departments nnd bureaus at tho state" house, with the fifteen stato institutions, the universi ty and tho normal schools. Suffrng'sts Turned Down. Tho delegation of suffragists com posed of Sarah Field, Oregon; Fran ces Jollsse of San Francisco and Mr. bel Vernon, who arc treklng across tho country In automobiles carrying a petltlnon to congress nsking that that body glvo the women a chance at tV ballot, were not successful In gottlm; tho name of O-ovornor Morehend on their petition. Will -Readjust Methods. A complete readjustment of normal school business methods, already ac complished In some of the schools and ready to bo installed in the othors, is tho handiwork of the slato normnl board.
