Women shouted thai two men on top of a roof opposite the dance hall had thrown a bomb. Sew eral special policemen and soldiers who were in the hall, ran into tn; building where the men were supposed to be and two more bombs were hurled at them as they got into the court.
 The first bomb blew Sonora tt pieces, The second wounded his com panions. The two bomb throwers es- caped..

QUESTION OF JACKETS
SERIOUS PROBLEM WOMEN ARE
NOW CONFRONTED WITH.
Japanese Style Of Gsrment Is mex.
pensIve and Well Suited to Every
day Use-Eton Jacket Of Fur
Is Newest.

The problem OF keeping warm with
these cold days comes up for settle
ment to every woman. The fur coat
does not solve 1t, for 1t h entirely too
heavy for walking, It is very good for
evening. for trolleys and for motor
cars. but 1t wears out the strength OF
any woman when it Is used as a steady
everyday garment.
The fur scarf, broad and long as 1t
Is, does not keep the body sufficiently
warm for the open even wei a cloth
coat. 3 1t is not the custom to wear
warm waists now; a woman has to be
dressed cool enough for our over
heated houses. and she must depend
on her outer wraps to protect her
from outdoor cold.
Many things have been tried for
warmth outside of the fur coat. OF
course the Elton jacket of fur is the
newest garment. 1t has little weight
and then Elton jackets are coming
back into fashion. Yet every woman
cannot afford two coats of fur, a long
and short one, and the choice goes to
the long n as 1t gives the greater
service. And many women cannot af-
ford either coat, SO they have to In
vent, or accept. other methods of keep
ing comfortable In now and ice.
The Shetland wool vest is used by
many under the coat. This has the
advantage of being exceedingly light
in weight and washes easily, but 1t
has the disadvantage Of being too
snug. it brushes the blouse and its
long, tight sleeves are not easy to
slip over the loose kimono sleeve OF
the present waist.
The waistcoat has no sleeves. and
this is an objection to those who feel
the cold acutely in their arms and
hands.
The new thing which is less ex'

but the ones that are now used every
day under dark suits are fashioned
like an Elton packet, buttoned high at
the neck and are made Of Japanese
silk in colors that prevail In coat suits.
Black. brown, blue and violet are
among the shades that one a most
easily get, and the white ones can be
dyed at a small expense by any one at
home. These are not SO expensive
that they cannot be INDUCED In by the
girl of moderate al who needs to
be especially warm in the early morn

room.

NEW STYLES IN LINGERIE
Underwear Has Taken on More De-
cided Attractions Than Usual
This Season.

In the struggle for life this eason-
for at some time'the lingerie has been
reduced to a minimum-underwear
has taken on more attractions than
usual. The well fitted models, the ex-
quisite embroidery and the fine mate
rails of which lingerie is now made
are convincing to the woman who is
searching for bargains.
The brides especially have the new
lingerie attractions. The fine mus
Inns without %stiffening are as varied as
the morning hours are from the even
ing. They should be kept so, too,
which point Is worth remembering.
They are most durable when lace is
absent. In other words, If you are
planning a sensible outfit to last more
than one year, use embroidery. Even
the finest swiss and batiste embroi-
derry outlasts lace. 1t can be used a
second time in many cases.
Flounces should not be too full for
the spring and summer. The straight
skirt Is slightly fuller, but does not
fare. It's straight lines must not be
interfered with by any underflounce.
Corset of allover embroidery
or wide flouncing r very sensible for
the dressy kind. They should be cut
with little fullnes at the waist, for
the same reason that bulk has been
eliminated from the petticoat. The
fitted corset cover with the circular
peplum is the most satisfactory.
Nightgowns made on empire lines
are probably moving toward first
place. The short upper portion is
gathered into a straight band of en-
broidery or beading. Flowing Of puff
ed sleeves are quite short.
AS usual, the hand made lingerie
has a value not to be gainsaid. The
French importations will always be
favored by the woman with money
to indulge her longings.
The extremely plain lingerie with
tape drawing strings and a plain seal
loped edge is the kind that should APP
peal to practical minds. They COM
bine daintiness with excellent wear
ing qualities. and they are inexpen-
sive.
