 Written on a scrap of cheap ruled paper with a lead pencil. the writing such as to be deciphered only with difficulty and a part of it incof1erent and rambling, this message. enclosed in a half point whiskey flask was found floating in the waters of the sound near F'ayerweathers Island this morning Tightly corked SO as to ad- init no water, it may have been float ing about for a day or for a year. The discovery was made by. H. J. Bodine, an employe of the Crane Valve Co., s West End plant as he went to work and turned over to Joseph zsenyheji, special policeman employed by the concern. He, in turn, sent it, to po- lice Headquarters and the New Haven police have been asked to try and To- cate Mrs. Palmer.
 Whether tIse message can be taken seriously as as hoax or the rauablings of a drug-stdmu1ated mind is a mat ter of conjecture in police circles There has been a suspicion that the horribly burned body, discovered a. week ago on the flats in the rear of the Crane company's plant and bur led this week in a potter hefo, might be the writer of the note. But the description does not tally at all with the description of Harry c. Palmer who was employed for a time last spring in ti1e construction depaTtnaent o1s BTidEepprf E5yad raalaic conaRa1ly.
 The receipt Of the message at once recalled to Superint tendent Eirming- ham a letter he received October 30 from a Mrn. Mary I. Palmer of 4S9 Winchester avenue, New Hav en, in which she aslzed that a Harry Palmer be located. She said that he left her early last April, had not supported her since then and that she understood he was woI king for Bridgeport Fly draultc company. Also that she had written to him agreeing to come to Bridgeport to live with him and men t1oning his having an aunt on Hurd avenue. The last time she heard from him, she said. was in June. Superin- tendent Birmingham is attempting to- day to co1nm11ntcate width Mrs. Palmer and has written to her mentioning the Finding of the message.
 At the offices of Bridgeport TFydrau- lie company it was learned that a
 Harry C. Palmer, understood to havS come to Bridgeport from New Haven, had been enpAc yed in the construction department for a time several months ago but had been discharged during the spring on account of personal habits. Fellow workmen believed he ~-S III 1T ASeSltt1 oA d uSef o4 ldrugs as he freq 1ently fell asleep over his work.

Since his discharge, his colleagues do not remember having seen him. They are not inclined ito relieve that he would commit suicide. A son, Harry, is re- ported as being employed by the com pany as a time keeper with a con- struction gang near. the Trunlbu1I Nne.

AUTOMOBILES
FEAR new Order
WILL Be ABUSED

The Delaware Automobile Association
is aroused over the recent act Of the
Levy Court in granting powers 10 the
commissioners 10 name a. many special
officers as they deem wise 20 prevent
speeding ON the roads Of the county. The
Automobile Association members con
tend that this authority will be abused.
II was pointed out that man may be
caught speeding while taking a hill or
while descending one.
Several members Of the association,
when spoken TO said that they were
highly in favor of the suggestion made
at the recent meeting of the Levy Court
bv Commissioner Foreacrc, which was
that two men should be deputizod Tor
this service; that the men should be
paid S. per day each, and should be men
whose testimony could not be Inn
peached.
one automobilist said: 1T is an easy
matter for any man, knowing that he
will get half of the fine imposed. TO
make IL point TO station himself al
such points where speed is most neces'
sary 10 make a climb In Pennsylvania
the speed limit is "a miles per hour
while in Maryland it is 30 miles per
hour. In Delaware the limit is 20 miles
per hour. The speed limit therefore will
be shown to be very uncertain. IL IS
also contended that it would be an inn
possibility for the trappers to catch out
OF state automobilists, as they would
be out of the state before notification
could be made II time was allowed TO
make up the tabulation OF the speed at
which the ear in question was running.
Therefore, il is said, the Delaware au'
tomoblists would be the sufferers
through an unjust decision. The mat,
ter. however. will not rest, as 1t Is said
that any action which may terminate
in the conviction of innocent persons will
be bitterly fought by the Delaware Au'

The color is dark blue, trimmed
with maroon satin, which makes 4
charming color combination. Sever.
al striking features are Introduces.
The three tier skirt with Van Dyke
points show the continuance of tie
tierred effect and the diac0ntin-
uance Of the straight around hem.
The back drocp Of the sash adds. to
the general pulled up effect in front
and the tendency to short wasted
ness. The shape Of the collar, long
or and .11oser over the back and
shoulders and very short in front
shows a corresponding effect.
With the exception of the mar
rowness Of the skirt proper around
the feet, the whole gown gives an
effect Of looscncss. The skirt tiegs.
blouse, and sleeves are all decidedly
full, but more so to the back than
front. This seems 10 be a feature IN
