had heard testimony about the grand

The only mention Of the myste rious

New Haven, March 25.-Relatives
and friends of Ralph Towne cannot ex-
plain his condition, but are inclined to
believe that he suffered fall from his
motorcycle recently. After working in
the Chapel Street cigar store of Major
Mattoon Wednesday he spent Thursday
and part of Friday here, but did not
90 home. He hired room in Olive
Street and left his motorcycle there.
On Friday he also, with a friend
whom he met on the street, hired an
other room, and was not heard from
again until he was discovered in New
York City. Major Mattoon spoke high
ly tonight of young Towne's character.
The lad has no bad habits, he says. He
was a runner on the Young Mems Chris
tian Association athletic team.

Tien-Tsin, March 25.-Reports from
the south indicate that popular excite
ment is increasing. The government
is reiterating its instructions that anti
japanese demonstrations are to be
avoided.
1t is scarcely an exaggeration TO say
that the success Of the Chinese govern
ment in this direction depends upon
whether Japan wishes to provoke a
pretext for military action. Certainly
the presence in Shantung Of a general
who declares that he would prefer TO
see the old enemy get into a passion
and beat the drum than witness a
peaceful solution is not calculated TO
help matters.
London, March 25.-A dispatch from
Shanghai to Reuters Telegram Com
pany says:
"The Chinese Of Shanghai are trying
TO organize Japanese boycott. Plac-
ards posted over the town exhorting
the people to support the boycott have
been seized by the police.
at is reported that anti-Japanese
feeling is increasing in all the prov
inces."

The New Silhouette.

THERE is a Transformation taking
place, a widening from waist to
hem. and a straight line from hip to
shoulder. Tunics are quite apt to
dwindle into redingotes. The new full
skirt in many respects is ugly and
anything but convenient. 1t looks
much better II lifted at the sides. II
the skirt is not short, some of the full
ness must of necessity be deleted.
Much depends upon the size OF the hips.
If they are small, the skirt must be
cut with a plain back and circular
sides. The fuIlness must start lower
down in circular folds from the back.
Hips are made to look as dat as posi-
BILE. and many devices are resorted TO
in order to produce this effect.
The old many scanned coat has come
back, but with q difference. Fur capes
are wider, resembling Spanish capes.
Some are long and important enough
to do away with the necessity for any
other outdoor garment. and their tuil-
ness is often restrained by a strap.
This starts from the front and keeps IL
we'll in place. We are no longer SUD
jected to the Inconvenience OF not hav-
ing pockets. but they are set outside
on gowns, very often on the hips We
lour waistcoats add to the warmth OF
a winter dress. They have deep point
ed fronts and often display a pleated
frin down the front, such as our
grandfathers wore.

Rice in the Economical Menu.

7F you think rice is costly you must

rice is that it is more easily dlgested
than many other foodstuffs at the same
price. 1t takes one hour for the stomach
to assimilate boiled rice, while 1t takes
three hours and a half to digest roast
