Suits That Fit Fine
Without fit, no suit is worth buying, no matter how
fine the materials, or how smart the style.
Fit is one of the most important features you pay for
in a suit, yet how often you miss getting it in the average
suit.
Our Spring and Summer Suits fit fine—a try—on shows
how fun: and perfect—and the style, the tailoring and the
materials are just as fine as the fit. Smooth as silk over
the shoulders; co't‘ars that bug the neck; coats that set a
man off ; trousers that set as if made to measure.
From $to to $30 we show a tremendous range of the
new colors and stripes, in the smartest and snappiest
styles we have ever shown. You should see them.

tho Prospero would at least reach
them and perhaps enable them to
land, and there was much disappoint-
ment when the ice pack was seen to
gather steadily around the little steam-
er until she also succumbed to its
mighty power.
The two steamers lay in practically
the saute position throughout the night.
There was some movement of the big
bergs as the tide rose and fell and the
weight of the great ocean current
sweeping along shore from the. north
extended in shore.
During the forenoon it was noticed
that the ice was jamming up a bit on
the shore, and the Mongolian had been
forced a trifle to the southward.
The weather today was favorable for
both vessels. The morning broke
cloudy, but with only a slight breeze

catio of wind to the east-
ward, for the barometer held high.

became imprisoned in the ice while

HARTFORD, May 20.——The house
and later the senate in concurrence»
this morning passed a resolution pro~ ,
riding for an investigation, into the
conduct of the State Boardpf Educm
tion, as a result of the discussion yes-
terday of the bill of Asahel J. Wright
for compiling the reports of that board.
for a number of years. it was brought '
out that no reports had been made by »-
the board recently, though the statutes
provide that the reports shall be made .
annually. The resolution was lntro-‘
duced by Representative Platt, of Mll-
ford, and provides that a committee of‘
one senator and two representatives be; "

the officers of the State Board of Edit.
cation, particularly in connection with
the duties of such officers relating to
the receipts and expenditures of pub“ _,
ltc moneys which committee shall re- '
port its findings to this general assem-
bly. - ..
In speaking of the matter. Represent-t 4...
alive Platt said that Mr. Wright ought. . v:
not to be made responsible for every— 17 ‘
thing that is going on in that state
board, and he thought that a board,
which spent over half a’ million dol-
lars a your, and had reach such 0.
pass that it made a report only When
it felt like it should be investigated. 3
The resolution was passed under sub
peiislou of rules. .
Representative Carrington, of, Win.
cheater, said that the legislature had
from time to time laid more and more
work upon the state board which has
made the duties very arduous. y FIG
thought the board would welcome the.
investigation. Representative Malone
thought that the assertion that the.
board had had work thrust upon it we
almost amusing in view of the fat
that it had from time to time asked t
have its responsibilities and duties in
creased. Without further debate tit
resolution was linseed. ~ .v .
