SHALL THE GIRL
 STUDY ABROAD?

There is a belief prevailing in many quarters, that 70 study abroad is the only way to get frst-rate musical education. Many and many an Amer ican girl has saved and slaved to get the necessary means for few months study under a foreign teacher only to return with her voice utterly ruined and her health gone. They go in swarms, these girls. to Milan and Vienna, to Berlin and to Paris with out really knowing anything about the teachers or the teaching or even the language and the customs of the coun- try in which they propose to live.
 Mr. William Armstrong, the well known writer on musical subjects, has been making an extended tour of in vestigation of the advantages. dangers and drawbacks of music study abroad and in the October Woman's Home Companion he gives the first article on this subject. taking up the claims of Milan and Vienna Milan he tells us " has been for decades a traditional stronghold of the operatic stage, while Vienna has proven a Mecca for the student of piano." Just what prelim- mary training the student should have, how to go about getting lessons. the cost of lessons and living and the ad- vantages of each city. are told simply and ciearly-an inestimable mine of information for the music student.

COLONNA SOCIETY, GROWN FRIVOLOUS
 IS TERMINATED
Property of Once Important Women's Organization Distributed in Charity, Since it Abandoned Art for Social Joys.

Because it had ceased to do useful work, and because it's not inconsider- able income was being expended en- ,tirely for social purposes the Colonna society disbanded, Saturday, in it's rooms in the Alameda. The cash and other property of the society was dis tributed in charity, and in this digni- fled manner one of the principal fwomen's> organizations of Bridgeport came to a dignified end Mrs. H. H. Pyle presided. Mrs. F. M. Patterson, the president of the society /and Mrs. William Bristol, the secretary had re- signed. Mrs. John O. Walker, treas urer, reported a balance in cash on hand of SIS. The sum will be increased to $100 and $25 wilt be given to the Anti-Tuberculosis Society, an equal amount to the Y. W. c. A., the Orphan Asylum and the Girls Club. The fyr- nishing of the rooms will largely be given to the Y. M. c. A.
 The Colonna society was organized 12 years ago to promote the study of art and the development of artists. But in recent years the art features around which the original organiza- tion was built have been largely abandoned, and the work of the body has been almost purely social. For this reason, according to one of the officers of the society it was decided to diSband,

 Much interest centres in this play owing to the fact of it's being re- vivai of "Incog." which theatre-goe of a. decade will recognize in it's new musical dress This famous old farce of Mrs. Pacheos had in its cast sur- rounding the star, Charles Dickson, such well known actors as Louis Mann, Robert Edeson, Harry Daven- port, Clara Lipman, Ellen Berg and Lillian Burkhardt.
 It is seldom tIa at as clever play as ''Incog" finds it's way into musical comedy and it was fortunate indeed that it was particularly well fitted for musical adaptation, so that unlike other changes of this nature it has inn

"I have two little girls who have been troubled very badly with eczema, One of them had it on her lower limbs. did everything that could hear of for her, but 1t did not give in until warm weather when it seemingly subsided: The next winter when it became cold weather the eczema started again and also in her head where it would take the hair out and leave bare patches ss large as a quarter of a dollar.

I took her to Q phy- sician and he said that she had two distinct types of eczema. continued with him for several weeks and the child grew worse ali of the time. Her sisters arms were also affected in the same way. My husband came home one day with a box of Cuticura Cint- ment and a cake of Cuticura Soap. 1 began using them and also the Cuticura Pills and by the time the second lot was used their skin was soft and smooth as it had not been before for the winter. We keep the Cuticura Soap and Cuti- cura Ointment constantly by us and when any little roughness or irritation appears on their skin quickly cispel it with the Cuticura Remedies.

 The careful housewife never throws away a bit of bacon fat. She uses it for irving fish or potatoes to good ad-
 vantage.
 Nuts are excellent as a substitute for meat, but should be eaten at meal time. They are more diRestible with a little salt.
 If a teaspoonful of water is added
 to each egg used for dipping cro-

TWO MEN ENTOMBEO
ALIVE IN A UTAH MINE
Prisoners Are Threatened With Death
From Three Sources, Starvation,
Suffocation and Drowning.

Salt Lake City.-George and Jerry
Peterson. brothers. are entombed In
st. Patrick's mine in Hughes canyon
at the lower end of Big Cottonwood,
as a result of a caye-in of tunnel
of the mine Monday afternoon Fifty
to sixty determined men are desper-
ately striving against time. to effect
a rescue To add to the pathos of the
tragedy, each man has wife, with a
babe, waiting and watching outside
the tunnel, tearfully praying for the
success of the rescue party's efforts.
The entombed men are threatened
with death from three sides-starva-
ton, suffocation and drowning.
They have had nothing TO eat since
Monday noon, as all efforts to get
food to them have proved futile. The
only source of air they have is
through two two-inch pipes and this
is reported to be failing. The men
are immersed in from two to three
feet of water, and to add to their ter
rors from death by either suffocation
or starvation, or both, the water is
said to be steadily rising. threatening
them with drowning.
The men are imprisoned about 800
feet from the mouth Of the tunnel.

derer Of Salt Lake Painter
Who Was Beaten and
StrangIed to Death.

Salt Lake City.--A bloody crutch
may prove the important clue which
will bring to the gallows the murderer
of John G. Burnett, the painter who
was beaten and strangled to death In a
rooming house in this city. the crime
evidently having been committed with
the purpose OF robbery, the murderer.
however, securing less than IS
after committing one of the most re-
voting crimes in the history of the
city.
In Hugh Meyers, the one-legged
man, arrested few hours after the
discovery of the mutilated body of
John c. Barnett, the police believe
they have the real murderer of the un-
fortunate painter and paper hanger
who was lured to his death for a few
dollars
Gradually a web of circumstantia1
evidence is being woven around Mey-
ers, and as the meshes are being
drawn tighter there seems little like
lihood of the escape of Meyers from
the direct accusation of being the
actual murderer, or at least an accom-
plice.
The most importance piece of evil
dence so far obtained, and which SO
strongly incriminates Meyers. is his
crutch. 1t developed Saturday that
the crutch exactly fits into the
wounds upon the head and hands of
the murdered man and its 50 perfect
ly as TO leave no room for doubt in
the minds of the police that the
crutch was the instrument used in
the death-dealing blows.
In addition, several other import
ant bits of evidence, all tending TO
fasten the crime on Meyers. were
secured In the running down of the
evidence the detectives proved con-
clusively that the story told by Mey-
ers in connection with the incidents
of the night of the murder was false
in many respects, that he had be-
trayed his own falsehoods in telling
conflicting STORIES Equally import
ant was the result of an analysis
made by State Chemist Herman
Harms, which revealed fresh blood
stains on Meyers shoe. crutch. hat
and handkerchief. The shirt worn by
the murderer, and from which the
bloodstained cuffs and sleeves had
been torn OFF. was also found in a
toilet room in the Mambino saloon
and the officers are positive that the
shirt belonged to Meyers.

one of the changes provided by the

preparatory to its final revision by

change. according to information
from reliable sources. is that hides
have been placed on the free list.
There has been much contention over
the duties of these two articles.
During the hearings of the lumber
schedules the testimony was such as
to cause the impression that lumber
would be put on the free list It was
said that the forests ofthe country
could only be conserved by admitting
foreign lumber free of duty. 1t is
understood that Clifford Pinchot, CHIEF
forester. is preparing figures in a
further effort to have lumber admit
ted free.
