LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS

 fSenorita'' writes inc asking what ever she shall do to bleach out her arms. How she can keep them white etc, etc. From her letter, I should gather that ''SenoritaY has arms of the nut-brown type, a type that has as dis tinct place in the annals of beuaty and charm the snow-white type. Neverth eless, the cry for snowy arms is still inSistent.
 In the first place, do not use 1iquid powder. Once in a great while, when you have some special reason, you may perhaps put a. little on. Too much of 1t, however, is ruinous to the skin. Especially is it dangerous when applied to the face. If only woman orally only temporary beauty, feel sure they would hesitate before mak- ing use of many dangerous cosmetics.
 If your arm is naturally brown, I would not advise you to try to bleach it. Arm b1eaches are dangerous In the end. They burn and cut the ten der skin. In time, the cutic1e is de- .stroyed forever. Think ahead a lit tle before you yield to temptation, nut-broWn maiden.
 When my arms accumulate a little too much sun-burn,I I revert to the old it on as thickly as I can, and rub 1t in thoroughly. Then I brush off the superf1uous powder. annd there I am. Be careful, however, to get all the su- perf1uous powder off, for otherwise your arms will look artificial
 Now as to freckles on the arms. Personally. I think an occasional freck1e on the arm is like a small mole on the neck. At all events, it is far likelier to be an attraction rather than a detraction.
 But if you are so very anxious to rid yourself of them, this is the way: Wrap some absorbent cotton aruond. the end of an orange stick. Dip this

first he was irritadngly renniss in ai1- swering to the name of Medcroft; but, to justify the stupidity, it is only nee essary to say that he had fallen into a condition which scarcely permitted him to know his own name, much less that of another. He was under the spell Wherefore it did not matter at all what name he went by. He would have answered as readily to one as the other.
 He blandly ignored telegrams and letters addressed to Roxbury Medcroft and once he sat like d lump, with ev- cry one staring at him, when the chair man of the architects convention ask ed if MT. Medcroft had anything to say on the subject under discussion. He was forced, in some confusion, to attribute his heedlessness to lifelong defect in hearing. Thereafter 1t was his punishment to have his name and fragments of conversation hurled about in tones so stentorian that he blushed for very shame. In the Bristol, in the Manufacturing, in the Lichtenstein gal lery, in the gardens-no matter where he went-if he were to be accosted by any of the genial architects it was all ways in a voice that attracted atten- tion. He could have heard them if they had been a block away. It be came a habit with him to instinctively lift his hand to his ear when one of them hove in sight, having seen him first
 That's what I get for being a Har,'' he lamented dolefuIly. Constance had just whispered her condolences. 'sDo you think they'll consider it odd that you don't shout at me too?''
 'fYou might explain that you can tell what I am saying by looking at my lips,' she said. He was immensely re- Eieved.
 Considerable difficulty had to be over come at the Bristol in the matter of rooms. Without going into details Brock resignedly took the only room left in the crowded hotel, a 6 by 10 cubby hole on the top floor overlooking the airshaft. He had to go down one flight for his morning tub, and he nev- CT got it because he refused to stand tn line and await his turn. Mrs. sMedz croft had the choicest room in the -3o- tel, looking down upon the beautiful Karntner-Ring. Constance proposed, in the goodness of her heart, to give. up to Brock her own room, adjoining would take her in to sleep with lher. Edith was perfectly willing, but inter posed the sage conclusion that gossip ping menia1s might not appreciate a preference so unique.

Subscriptions turned in by July 9th will
bring more votes than any subscriptions
which are turned in later in the contest
When the first period of the contest has
passed, votes in less amounts will be given
for subscriptions turned in. 1t is logical
therefore, to suppose that those who do the
most work up to July 9th will benefit by in
creased standings and by having the most
votes, and then the "bonus votes" that can be
secured in this time can mean the winning

CORONER ENDS EDEY
INQUEST IN DISGUST
Murdoch, as Witness, Contra
diets Wife's Tale About
Marital Exchange.
CASE WON'T GO TO JURY
District Attorney of Suffolk
County Can Find No Evidence
of Conspiracy Responsible
for Deaths of the Edeys.

Sayville, Long Island. Jan. 1.-THE eX-
animation of Gardner Murdoch. ex-livcry-
man. whose wife swore on the witness
stand that he was party to a plot To eX-
change wives with Henry G. Edey me
retired broker OF Belport, brought the
inquest into the death Of Edey and his
wife to a close here this afternoon.
Though pounded with questions for over
an hour by Coroner c. S. Moore ana
Ralph Green. District Attorney of SUIT
folk County, the only information he saw
fit 10 give them was that his wife was
crazy.
After several explosive attempts 10 de-
stroy the immutable calmness OF the wit
ness. the coroner finally gave up in dis
gust and announced that the inquest was
over.
Because OF its extraordinary charac-
ter" he declared the coroner and the
District Attorneys office have given 10
this case the fullest investigation. The
verdict will be that Mrs. Kate l.. Edey
gunshot wound in the head inflicted by
Henry c. Edey, and that Henry c. Edey
came TO his death by gunshot wound in
the head inflicted by himself
Though Murdock's testimony varied IN
nearly every essential point from that Of
his wife. given in Bellport, the scene OF
the tragedy, several days previously, Dis
trict Attorney Green said that the cases
of these two people would not be laid
before the grand jury. The Suffolk
County grand jury adjourned yesterday
until April.
District Attorney Green directed his
heaviest fire of questions against the suit
for the alienation Of his wife's affections
which Murdoch brought against Edey and
to which was credited large share Of
the responsibility for Edeys determine
ton to kill his wife and himself Except
the fact that the suit was brought. Muir
dock denied practically all of his wifc.s
testimony concerning Il.
Murdoch denied emphatcally that he
ran away with Mrs Edey last August,
when the two left Bellport on the same
train. He explained that nc went To
Texas for a pleasure trip, and that she
followed him. telling him that her hus-
band had sent her. Murdoch advised her
to go back to New York again. according
to the testimony. but not To return to her
husband. because he had threatened her in
his presence.
"He WAS quick tempered" said Muir
dock. Il have seen him slap his wife. II
looks to me az II he was crazy. thought
ne was little funny. but he was respon-
sible for his acts most OF the time.
ut is not true that ! was paid sum
of money to go With Mrs. Edey TO Texas
and get a d.~orce. II is not true that
Edey and snapped wives. II there WAS
any agreement between Edey and my wife
was not party to 1t. II all happened
after | went away. I'm willing TO do all
] can TO help clear up the mystery Of this
shooting. But / can't account for my
wife's statements"
The District Attorney could find him on
Staten island IL he wanted him again, he
added.

IN ONE HARLEM BLOCK
From Eight to Sixteen Fires
There Daily Until "lzzy the

MORE INDICTMENTS SOON
Commissioner Johnson Again
Declares Lax Methods OF
Insurance Companies
Are to Blame.

The investigation which District Attor-
ney Whitman is making into the anairs
of the larson trust" through his assist
ant. Royal H. Weller. showed yesterday
that a single block on the east side OF
Harlem produced from eight to sixteen
fires daily for months prior to the con-
viction and sentence of 'IZzy the Paint
err" the boss fire maker of Harlem.
Fire Marshal John p Prial reported
that since the conviction of "1zzy" last
November the number of fires in that
ne,shborhood has fallen from three to
ave a day. Mr.. Weller said he felt his
Investigation was proceeding satisfac-
.ortly and that indictments would proba
bly, be returned next week.
The block with the tremendous average
of fires Is that bounded by l0lst and lod
streets. First and Second avenues. Ac-
cording to the statements made by Sam
uei Gold. who pleaded guilty TO arson
and implicated George Grutz, public fire

sort Of "Izgy the Painter" and his gang
Of fire makers. Mr.. Weller is hopeful that
by the time a little more evidence has
piled UP "Izzy'' will offer to tell the Dis
trtct Attorney OF the activities of his gang
in the hope of receiving letter from
the authorities which would aid him
should he ever apply for a pardon. He
has begun to serve a sentence of not less

with engine houses, and their crews are

blocks produce 5.5 per cent of all the
fires in the city.

Most Of these fires are OF the same

in bedrooms or clothes presses. and do
little real damage According to Golu, a
good part OF these fires were set by
'Tzzy' and his gang. 'Izzy' himself Is
credited with 800 In some cases, as
was the case with Gold himself, the
tenant moved out OF the district tenn
porarily that he might have fire in
some less suspicious part OF town.
Mr.. Weller has found that at least
three deaths were caused by such small
fires. All Of those killed were children.
There was not enough evidence, however.
to warrant a homicide indictment.
