"Yes, mother, this Is walter"
This telephone message received over
the long distance wires from Wash

suspense of Mrs. Paul $. Bolger, whose
elghteen-year-old son disappeared from
their magnificent home in Yonkers six
months ago, says the New York Jour
nal.
The lad has been searched for the
world over. Every United States con
sui on earth has been applied TO TO
search for him, the police of every
city I'm the United States and nearly
every seaport abroad have been on
the lookout for the boy who left home
without word OF explanation, and In
the end he was located by his father,
N wealthy contractor, on board of the
United States training ship Franklin
and by him brought 10 Washington.

NOVEL COOLING DEVICE.
Hottest Rooms In summer Cooled ~
Professor Moore's Machine.

The possibility OF keeping living
rooms at temperature of 20 to T2 de-
grecs in the hottest weather, which
means practically an end to summer
suffering from heat, is held out by Pro-
fessoc Willis l.. Moore chief OF the
weather bureau at Washington, who
recently filed application for a patent
on what he calls a gravity air cooling,
dry and purifying machine. says the
Chicago Record Herald. The new ap.
paratus Is the result Of several years
of study and experiment. Professor
Moore believes the invention to be OF
immense scientific and practical value.
The cost of the machine will bo so

While they were in route in a lone

killed and the men robbed of what
money they had. As soon as they
could they got the sheriff at Guthrie
and informed him. The whole terri
tory of Oklahoma was aroused at
the wanton murder of the innocent
boy who had pleaded to accompany
his father.
DR. Beanblossom sent written de-
scrlption TO every post Office In the
southwest and up to this time he has
spent s25OO in trying to locate
Edwards The fact that Edwards
gave an alias prevented discovery.
However. the father got an inkling
of the man being here, and yesterday
morning he showed up with Sheriff
Schramm. OF Guthrie. with a requisi-
tion. and last night Dave Edwards,
alias Mont Perkins. was taken to

Fashion Hints for Summer.

The "Gibson" effects remain popular
and are particularly we'll suited to
pique, linen, duck and madras.
The vogue of hand embroidery, which
has entered so largely into the decOra-
ton of handsome silk and cloth gowns
for spring, continues, and many of the
new blouses and shirt-waists show this
Establishment.
A special feature of all the new colors
this season is the soft tint made by
blending one with another-gray with
greens and blues, brown with reds, etc.
Foulards showing polka. dot designs
in both black and-white and dark-blue-
and-white are especially we'll liked for
shirt-waist costumes.
White batistes make fascinating toll
cites when associated with embroidered
batiste or with all-over lace; such dress
es are made unlined and are intended Ia
be worn over colored silk foundations.
Some of the most charming of the
summer gowns are made of inexpensive
dimities and lawns.
Shirt-waist suits of chambray or cot
ton cheviot are an important item il
the summer girls wardrobe.
Black Chantilly is one of the mos
popular laces of the season and is EN-
ployed on net, mousseline, chiffon ant
thin silk.
