George Deforge-Left Home to
Visit in Ludlow.

hours after the discovery of the body
of his wife, searehers yesterday after
noon found George Deforge's body in
a pool in the Chicopee river at Indian
Orchard, about 100 feet north of the
railroad bridge, with his skull crushed.
A theory that the couple might have
been struck by . train while crossing
the railroad bridge was abandoned
when the station agent at Indian Or
heard said that no cars passed over the
bridge during the night.
Mrs Deforge s body was recovered
yesterday morning only short dis
tancp from where her husband s body
was found. He was 55 and she was
As years old.
The couple left their home in Indian
Orchard early Tuesday evening to visit
friends in Ludlow, across the river, and
it IL supposed that they made use of
the open trestle bridge that carries the
tracks OF the Athol branch of the Bos-
ton & Albany railroad across the river
| This bridge is used much by pedestri-
ans, as it affords q short cut to one
| part of Ludlow.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Deforg" did not
return at midnight their four children

7 wo little
ple-cruSt secrets

Here are two practical pie-crust
hints. They were given to us by
cook whose wholesome Cottolene
pie-crust was tender and faky treat.
Hint No. I. Always chop your
shortening into the -four withknives.
Don't mix it in with your hands.
Hint No. 2. Always keep your
shortening and your dough as cold
as possible.
lust forgetting the money-saving
in using Cottolene, why don't you
compare your economical Cottolene
pie-crust with your very best pie
crust made with "half of butter?"
If you follow your own recipe,
be sure to use one-third less of Cotto-
lene than you ordinarily use of other
shortening. Cottolene goes farther
because it is richer.
A great many particular women
who used to use part butter are now
using wholesome Cottolene alone
to make tender, haky pie-crust.
But perhaps you would like to try
the recipe below. You'll need:
II cups flour 4 teaspoon baking powder
= teaspoon salt Ice water = cup Cottolene
For method start at picture No. |.
