Rev. John MacMurray Declares
Practice Of Lynching Must Be

Leo Frank was the innocent victim
Of the feeling aroused against a practice
that exists far too often In buslness

John MacMurray. pastor of Union
Methodist Episcopal Church. In a SER
mon last evening In which he COM

Mr. MacMurray said lynching was to
be deplored. but that II could he ex-
planned on the ground that many Of the
men Of Georgia were becoming jealous
In the protection Of their women.
This lynching was only a symptom
of the disease" he said. and was no
more an anti-Semitic act than the
lynching of a few colored men for COM
mittlng "a certain crime against the
home.
"Insidious methods Of assault are Just
as evil In their effects as the crime for
which lynchtnG frequently seems to be
the penalty. and In the name Of Ameri-
can parents and brothers and sons II
must be stopped. That is the lesson OF
the Frank lynching. He may have been

POLICE GIVE VIEWS

Reports Expected to Lead to
CIamping Down Of Lid Next
Sabbath.

Major Raymond W. Pullman, chief OF
police. is receiving verbal reports from
police officers today on their inspection
OF Sunday performances In various
theaters yesterday, these reports being
preliminary to the clamping down OF
the lid on Objectionable shows next
Sabbath.
A member Of the Police Department
was In attendance yesterday at each
Sunday performance other than NOV

arc exempted specifically under the
law regulating theater exhibitions on
Sunday. The policemen were there as
virtual censors and were duty bound
to make a complete report to Major
Pullman regarding the propriety or

Some OF the shows are said today to
have been within the bounds Of what
the department considers proper: one
or two are said to have been rather
notified that only a week will be given
to adapt themselves to the new rules

BURTON'S CANDIDACY
IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Former Senator From Ohio Is
Likely to Go Into Convention
With Strong Force.

The candidacy Of former Senator
Burton Of Ohio for the Repuphcan
nomination for President Is being taken
seriously by many leading Repupncahs
here. 1t Is beginning to be appreciated
that Burton is likely to go into the
convention with a strong force OF deie-
gates. and that he is also likely to nave
a powerful array Of delegates VINO VIII
support him on second choice.
The trip Burton is making to the far
West and to the Rocky Mountain coun-
try is being watched with keen atten-
ton, not only by Washington politi-
clans Of all varieties. but in other
parts Of the country. The present Re-
publican situation is one In which a
large flock of favorite sons Is circing

hoping that when the times comes he
can swoop down on the Presidential
prize. So II falls out that oil the ad-
mirers Of eacvh of these favorite sons

dates. and are studying developments
most narrowly. No Republican Presi-

Foxes will need all their cunning,
and much more, if the demand for
their pelts does not abate. Just now
it seems that every girl wants to wear
a red fox, or a white one, cOiled about
her neck, and a fox muff in which to
embed her hands. She dimes in airy
gowns, but, having removed a coat,
her graceful fur is retained, not be-
cause the public dining room is cold
but because her furs are becoming,
and fashion allows her to wear them.
White fox is in demand on evening
coats in collars and deep cuffs Or
very light colors and white coats en-
ploy fox fur dyed black. It is long,
soft and rich fur but not so durable
as some others.
Red fox is especially becoming to
authenticated, fairskinned women,
and when brown eyes are added to
these the effect is so good that even
the fox might be reconciled to his
fate, could he foresee it.
One of these natural fox sets is
shown in the picture. The scarf is
held in place by fastening the claws
together In the muff the head is
used. but tail and claws are omitted.

A plain blouse and a dressy one,
both Of crepe, are pictured above.
They are representative styles in
blouses made Of crepes, which are
equally well liked for daily wear and
for dress occasions. Crepe Georgette
is chosen for the rich-looking waist
with handsome lace vest and ermine
bands, while crepe de chine makes the
palmer blouse for ordinary service.
The plain blouse is set on to yoke
which is narrow at the back and ter
inmates at the front, where it is
brought over the shoulder. The shoul-
der seams are long and the sleeves
plain and almost straight. They are
set into a plain cuff with overlapping
end. This end is prettily shaped into a
point that is extended and decorated
with fine embroidered floral spray.
A small buttonhole worked in the
point fastens the cuff over round
button set on the underside.
The blouse fastens at the front with
small ball buttons. These are usually
white on light-colored crepe. On tans
and grays they are generally made in
bright contrasting colors.

Modes in Hair Dressing.

The modes in hairdressing change
quite as much as the modes in mil
linery or clothes. Indeed we have to
keep modifying our couture to suit the
everchanging hat shapes. When the
crowns are high we must needs wear
our knots on top of our heads to fill
in the high crowns. When the fiat
crowned shape prevails it means that
the hair must be slowed away around
the nape of the neck somewhere.
But though hair style changes fire.

must follow them blindly and obedi-
emily regardless of how they appear
on us. There is nothing which so
transfgures a girls face as the right
kind of couture.

STRENGTH in Hope.

In spiritual as in earthly things
there is a great strength in hope, and
therefore Gods people are careful to
cultivate that grace. A well-grounded
hope that, having been made new
creatures in Jesus Christ, we are his;
that with our names, though unknown
to fame, written in the Book of Life,
we have grace in possession and
heaven in prospect; that after g few
more brief years, pure as the angels
that sing before the throne, ne shall
be brought with gladness into the pal.
