Oners iH Ia COme-BOwers Has
Long Record as Desperate
Police Character.

Gordon Bowers about 25 years old. who

The police department has been engaged
in the work of running down the gang Of
hOldup men who committed four highway

Byard were held up and robbed by three
masked men. all armed with automatic
pistols For more than a week the leader
OF the holdup trio has been locked up in
the city Jail, and last evening he was taken
down to the county jail under a court
order holding him to the grand jury.
Such mass of conclusive testimony has
been produced against Bowers that he
realizes he has no defense that will save
him. lie was identified Immediately after
his arrest by three OF his victims and since
then the red handkerchief he wore as a
mask on the night of the robbery, together
with another handkerchief and three pairs
of stolen shoes, have been found in a grip

suspicion of being the tall man of the trio.
lie left Council Bluffs Immediately after
the hold up and was located at the Rock
Island shops at Valley Junction and placed
under arrest by Polk county officers at
the request OF Chief Froom.
Bowers TO Be Indicted.
The evidence against Palmer is not so
conclusive as the complete web that has
been woven around Bowers, and which has
led Bowers to confess but It is believed
TO be strong enough TO warrant his lndct-
ment by the grand jury, which will return
true bill against Bowers.
The third man is yet TO be located, but
there is no doubt that he will be- II wa-

In this picture of Gaby
IN the simple little dress it,
too, is artfully exaggerated.
The simplicity that is one
Of the charms Of Gaby is
underscored. It has the
same lesson as the others.
Look az this picture OF
Della. See how the piqu-
ancy Of her face is under
scored by the arrangement
of points in her costume:
in the lifted skirt. With
what l have written surely
you can work out its philos-
ophy now yourselves-and,
| hope, learn from It.
Gaby, by the way, does
not wear corsets. Her "own
model is one of the Statue"
shapes that ! originated and
cling to and that has since
been adopted everywhere.
She wears no petticoats at
all, using tights to match
the costume and to the
knees only. In any woman
that is all that is necessary,
and the difference 1t makes
in a gown is enormous.
But to return. Proper ex-
aggeration on the stage IS
art and is necessary. I'M
proper exaggeration is not
art; It is stupid and it is
"unlucky." And 1t is so OF
