Smith, here today it was expected
the prosecution would present an en-

that since DR.. Smiths first trial, when
the jury failed to agree. the state has
brought to light some new angles of
the case.
DR.. Smith is alleged to have pois-
oned his wife by the administration of
cyanide of potassium while she was

drop the potassium theory at the Sec

the fact that not single one of them

In the semi-finals, Couch had made
a spectacular ride upon Speedball. a

loosened the grip of his legs, the very
fact that he had kept his straight

Bob Gavin had qualified by the SEN

NO ARBITRARY
 POINT IS SET
 FOR WAIST LINE

' T isn't often such substantial and \ necessary adjunct of feminine ap- parel as the waist line is allowed the restless perambulations thts season has permitted and it seems no near CT becoming a settled and stationary affair than it did three months ago. Indeed, it's restlessness appears to be daily increasing
 Candidly there is absolutely no stat ing where the most fashionable waist line is. Sometimes it rises high up under the bust at empire height. while again it is discovered dipping low down, fully three and even four inches below it's normal position In fact in some instances there is no waist line to be discovered at all except perhaps a faint suggestion at the sides where the surplice draping of the bodice might be guessed to follow the sup posed line of the conventional waist
 This shifting panorama of waist po- sitions is most comfortable laxness for women in general For the wom- an who is long bcdied the high waist line is welcome subterfuee. while, on the other hand. che woman who is long from the waist down can wear the dropped line at the belt most be comingly
 One extreme example of the waist line yagaries was Illustrated rather sensationally in suit shown not long ago when the belt line both rose and fell ia alternating fashion The suit vas Of pale blue serge with an extray- agantly bepUffed tunic Of sea blue satin Beaded peucants falling from the shore jacket were the only trim ming. High in the front, the jacket closed and the tunic rose. both dip ping together at each side and then rearing high again st the back The effect was decidedly bizarre and not to be called handsome by any stretch of the imagination
