Hlgh-priced lingerie SHOWS all the
hImy materials, exquisite laces and
wreaths of hand embroidery that could
be imagined. But the petticoats. wheth-
er high-priced or not, are particularly
attractive this season. They are fitted
as smoothly as possible over the hips
and down to the top of the deep
hounces. Of course. they widen toward
the bottom, but this is merely in a
gentle sort of ripple without the sug-
gesuon of bouffancy or crispness.
The trimming of the flounces is of
soft lace, which gives only the most
subdued idea Of fluffiness. But the
night gowns are shade more quaint
than the petticoats. The designers
seem to have wasted but little time on
the high-necked, lOng-sleeved effects
and nine out OF ten Of the new gowns
are sheer, low of neck, with the most
embryonic of sleeves.

BAD SEWERAGE
CAUSE OF TYPHOID
LATEST EPIDEMIC INVFSTIG NTICD
BY STATE HEALTH DEPART
ME\T IN LIMITED AREA
RIG I'M OND. YA-SpeciaI

r G NJ o n D, VA.-SpeciaI-
The fact that the outlying districts
OF many Virginia towns and cities are
lacking in sewerage arrangements is
declared by DIT. Allen w. Freeman. of
the State Department of Health, in a
recent report. to be responsible for
much Of the present urban typhoid.
! Until sewers are extended. DR.. Free
man declares that it will be impossi-
BILE TO effectually prevent the spread
of typhoid in these localities.
The repBrt In question, which has
just been filed with the State Depart
ment OF Health. refers to a small out
break of typhoid in a Virginia town
which outbreak was investigated lasd
week by the experts of the depart
ment. The investigation was Of espe-
cial importance. since the town suf-
fered from typhoid very heavily laSr
season. When new cases were an
nOunced, the department sent its rep
resentatiVes to the field, fearing an
other serious outbreak.
Investigation disclosed the fact
however, that all the cases were con-
fined to small area. beyond the sewer
line of the city. The disease had been
carried from place to place by con-
tact and by flies.
Discussing the report this morn
ing. the State Health Commissioner
said; AS long as the sewerage SYs-
tenn of town does not include all its
. SHhufhs OF as long as the towns do
not prescribe sanitary oUtbuildingS for
these neglected districts. it is impos-
sible To completely eradicate typhoid.
Ihere Is no reason to believe that nU-
merouS persons carry the germs Of
typhoid in their systems after they
nave recovered from the disease.
When one Of these persons lives i'm a
locality whore there is not proper sew
eraSe. or whore there are inSanitary
arrangements. flies and contact will
inevitably carry the germs to other
persons. AS this department. stated
IN its Inst hulletin-which can he had
Tor the aSking-tYphoid cannot be
eradiCatcd until ARRANGEMENTS are
made for the sanitary disposal Of all
sewage"

placing OF the waist high up in the

to heighten the figure, but the basques
do not tend to make the figure look

simply said that she grabbed nv.
arm ana that the pistol went Off"
Inc above statement in essence was
made to reporter by Captain George
r. Me2kin, i'm the HOSPITAL shorty
AFTER noon Thursday.
MRS. Lawler, who was seen later.
said in substance:
1t is absurd TO think that I could
nave shot big man like Mea kin. or
thaJ by grabbing him I could have
caused him to shoot himself. What
1 hrst said this morning is what I have
10 say now. cannot understa nd
what Captain Meakin means. He
evidently thinks 20 make the matter
seem trivial, but it is unnecessary that
ne should connect me with what an
pears to be an effort to kin himself.
1 repeat that I was not in the room
when Meakin shot himself. and that
L heard the shot from the steps as I
came up. 1t is possible that my name
mas been mentioned to him by the
police, and that he may have tried to
shield me from false criticism. An
III man is not a man who should be
tangled into statements in a matter
OF this kind. When Meakin is well
he can, am certain. make a clear
statement of the facts"
Mrs. LAWYER was told that Meakin
was not in any especial danger. She
expressed a passing word of gratifi-
cation that her boarder was not seri-
ously hurt. She was very positive
however, that the connection OF her
name with that of the shooting affair
Is unnecessary and without the slight
est warrant.
When The Journal reporter called
at the hospital, il was at first said
that the wounded man could not be
seen, Permission was finally granted,
however, for one question. That ques-
ton was put briefly, thus:
Were you and Mrs. Lawler scuf-
fling over a pistol when you were
shot?"
Inc answer as given above was an
admission that Mrs. Lawler was in the
room, though Meakin seemed to re-
sent the idea that Mrs. LawIer had
any intention of hurting him.
Possibly believing he is badly hurt
and in an effort to shield me. as he
would any other innocent person, from
suspicion, merely because he knew 1
