TOWN Of DUTTON
HIT BY 1W|STER
NO LOSS OF LIFE REPORTED,
BUT MUCH PROPERTY DAMAGE
IN STORMS PATH.

Chickasha, Okla, April 9.-An old
fashioned twister visited the vlcln-
ity of Dutton Monday evening and
while no loss of life has been re-
ported, much property is known to
have been destroyed in the. path OF
the storm, and the home of Walter
Bell was struck by lightning while
the family were in the storm cave
and the entire house and contents
with the exception of one trunk, was
destroyed.
The cloud appeared about . o'clock
from the southwest and Travelled sew
eral miles, laying waste houses, barns,
and outbuildings. Gus Dagendorfer,
a farmer living three miles southeast
of Dutton, stated he and his two sons
were in the field when they saw the
cloud approaching. They started for
the house and arrived just as the
storm struck.
They had unhitched the team anu
started to lead them into the barn
when the wind lifted the galvanized
roof from the barn. The horses broke
away and ran, closely pursued by
James, the 14-year- son of Mr.. Da
genderfer. Sections of the roof were
hurled by the wind past him missing
him by a matter of only foot or two
and into a hog wire fence which il
cut in two. James turned and ran fol
the house and as he entered the real
door, 12-foot section of the roofing
dashed against a porch post, tearing
it completely away. The house was
saved but the barns and outbuilding'
were almost entirely destroyed.

MAYOR BLOCKS
CREMATORY BILL
Won't Sign Check for $4,000,
He Says, Until Supreme Court
Declares Contract Legal,

Mayor Woodward to-day refused TO
sign a check for the first payment OF
$50. 900 on the new crematory. He
said the Destructor Company could
.uandamus him if it wanted to, but
ne absolutely would refuse to pay out
any money on the plant until the Su-
preme Court had decided on the le-
eality of the contract.
In view of the statement to-day of
W. A. Hansel, Assistant Chief of Con-
situation, that the plant would not be
completed by July l, as the contract
specifies. an unusual situation is
promised. The contract states that
the company shall pay a penalty of
SIS a day to the city for every day
0nger than the contracts allows that
t takes to finish the plant
The point is: If the Mayor won't
recognize the legality Of the contract,
how can he force the company to pay
he forfeit?
The crematory people claim they
will have one unit finished by June l.
sanitary Chief John Jentzen said all
of it was badly needed now, as he was
forced to dump all garbage around
the edge of the city.

Societies and fraternal organizations
have sought to buy lots, but have failed.
As high as $500 has been paid for a
very small lot in the cemetery.

NEW YORK. April Jacques
Worth, Of the House of Worth, which
dictates the dress Of American women
and indeed of all civilized women, is
paying his first visit to America.
And the sartorial prophecy and
philosophy of Jacques Worth, as he
unfolded them for me. should be Of
tremendous interest to the feminine
half of Atlanta In a series of articles
for The Georgian he discusses what
to wear and how to wear it as only he
or member of his family is able 10
do. He is the grandson OF the man
who went to France as a boy of I6
and founded the House of Worth, and
his uncle. Jean. is the present head of
the famous costume house. Its in
fiuence may be traced not only in the
wardrobes OF wealthy women, but in
the styles we all adopt, down to the
umpty- 'steenth ready made copy.
The first questions I put to NJ.
Worth concerned the ever-absorbing
problem of what they" are going to
wear this spring and summer. Here
are a few of the most interesting an
nouncements NJ. Worth had to make
for those who are purchasing their
new outfits:
THE narrow, draped skirt will
be the favorite exclusive model,
preserving the long, slim lines of
the figure and eliminating hips.
1.-The waist line will not be high
up under the bust. nor will it be
quite natural, but Just between
the two extremes-what we call
the three quarter.
"SIeeves will remain small and
the long sleeve, hanging loose
from the shoulder and ending in a
point, will be popular for evening
wear.
Low collars will be generally

But what about the slit skirt?" /
inquired. so many women are wear
ing it now"
NJ Worth leaned back and his
naturally arched brows described

double set Of extraordinarily white
and regular teeth showed in fieeting
smile.
The House of Worth Doesn't Make the
Slit Skirt.
we do not make the slit skirt" he
enunciated, the emphasis on the royal
pronoun quiet. yet marked. But l
do not wonder that ii is worn by some.
What else was there to do when the
hobble skirt was drawn so tight as to
prevent all movement?
I'VE, the House of Worth. never
made the extreme hobble. How could
