Two bills by the ways and means committee of the house were intro duced tonight under the terms of which all state funds, when collected, would be placed in the state treasury and-then u.sed as a general fund, thus eliminating the necessity of borrow ing money and paying interest charg es. One of the bills, requiring all state funds to be deposited in the state treasury, provides that after its pass age it shall “be unlawful for any state officer or employee on behalf of the «tale department, board, bureau, com mission or other state agency to de posit with any bank, tnist company, in.vtitution, building and loan associa tion or individual any funds belonging to the state. Provided that in the dis cretion of the state treasurer each de partment or institution may carry with some bank—an account in the name of such department or institu tion as a revolving fund from which the state treasurer shall be reimbursed for bad checka.’I!.

But, New York and Chicago, Boston and .San Francisco‘'and hundreds of smaller cities and towns throughout the United States may know what are the latest styles even before they are shown in Paris. A seeming paradox, but true. Merchants maintain representatives in Paris, London, Vienna and other European style centers who cable the latest news of the modes, and ship samples long before thejL.are sold abroad.^ In America, the news'is translated into advertisements and printed, by local newspapers throughout the United States. And so, American women are able to dress in the latest styles in dress more accurately than the women of any other country on the face of the globe. , Advertising keeps you abreast of the times in other ways. It tells you of the newest and best in every line of merchandise. It keeps you posted on what other people are doing and wearing and uaing. Read the advertisements. They are truthful and helpful. You can depend on their accuracy, for the reputations of the merchants sponsoring them guarantee their integrity. , .. ? • READ THE CHRONICLE ADVERTISEMENTS TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE \^ORLD OF MERCHANDISE ferries.
