New Style Hints
By
Miss Knickerbocker

Tie regularity with which
iads appear is limited only by
the number Of possibilities, says
Miss knickerbotkcr.
We arc touring the world i'll
search OF fashion motifs, and
our Limitations are only regu-
lated by the number Of coun-
tries or peoples left to visit.
And now we have dug
straight through to China, as
we used TO say in childhood.
China is furnishing motifs for
dresses, mantles, parasols and
millinery.
Every young girl has her
heart set upon a reproduction
OF some Chinese temple to wear
upon her head, with decora-
tions of cash the smallest
value in Chinese coins.
Paraso1s have fattened into
shapes resembling the pagoda,
and the paper parasols OF the
Orient. And in colors and pat
terms are true to their originals.
Dresses-esp e cially those
identified with sports-are here

Oriental embroidery that plain

The Food Preparedness Campaign comnittee-that will be the official name hereafter--has decided that the services of paid secretary will be sought, and that his chief duties will be to pay spe- cial attention to the matter of market ing food crops, and to see personally that the farmers get a square deal
 The matter of his selection has been left with Chairman John H. Frye of the executive committee, who will investi- gate and report to the committee his action for ratification.
 The name given the committee was also decided upon at the meeting yesterday morning, and will be submitted to the executive committee today at the Il o'clock meeting at the Chamber of Com merce by John l.. Cox, Hill Ferguson and J. P. Mudd, the committee selected to give the movement a name.

MURDER OF CHINAMAN
 SHROUDED IN MYSTERY
Chief of Detectives Shirley of Opinion Killings Are Result of Chinese Tong War-No Clew Found to Murderer
 at Late Hour Last Night

weeks ago, and to the murder of c. M. Ben, who was murdered in his laundry on Fifth avenue, between Twentieth and Twenty-first streets, north, a year ago last February.
 "I am of the opinion that the de- ceased is a victim of the so-called tong wars among the Chinese. and I held the same opinion of the killing of the other two Chinamen." said Chief Shirley. The only difference between the mur- der of Loo Soc and the other two Is that his gold watch and a small amount Of money were taken, where in the other cases no valuables were taken. I have known this Chinaman for the last seven years, and he always seemed to be quiet and peaceful and never give the au thorities any trouble, and was liked by the citizens of North Birmingham
 Officer Whelan made the following statement:
 Officer Patterson and myself tried the doors in the business district shortly after Il o'clock last night and the door to the laundry of Loo Soc was locked tried the door again at 450 o'clock; it was partly open. I went into the laundry and called for Loo Soc, but he failed to respond so | went to his bedroom, and found his trunks and bed had been torn up and ransacked. I started out of the laundry, and when I got nearly to the front door I saw the Chinamans body covered with blood stretched on the floor behind this counter"
 The remains of the Chinaman were turned over to I. l.. Mackey, undertaken of North Birmingham, who has prepared the body for shipment to China at an early date

FRIDAY PROVED ID BE REAL 100000 DAY

PUBLICITY LUNCH
 ONE 0F FEATURES
 OF BIENNIAL WEEK
Miss Kitty Cheatham Will Be One of Speakers at Affair Given at the
 Southern Club

One of the features of the biennial of the National Federation of Music clubs, which will be held in Birming- ham next week. will be the public ity luncheon Thursday at the Southern club. Mrs Oscar Hundley and Mrs Charles Sharp will be local hostesses with Mrs. D. A. Campbell at the lunch con.
 Mrs Hundley wishes to stress the point that 1t will not be necessary to have biennial tickets to be privileged to attend the luncheon.
 Miss Kitty Cheatham, who will ap- pear on the Russian Symphony or chestra programme. will be one of the speakers.
 Miss Cheatham is Americas great est authority on the literature of child hood music and she is pre- eminentlE the one person of today who is thor oughly equipped to preserve the negro folklore of America, according to na- tional critics
 Perhaps the American public does not realize fully what it owes Kitty Cheatham." said Mrs. George Harring- ton, an ardent admirer. "She is adaptor, translator. collector and interpreter all in one. She has emphasized the eternal spirit of childhood in the great composers by making known, with her exquisite gift of interpretation, their compositions for or about children: or those written during their own child hood. For instance Mozart's Five First Compositions written by the composer at the age of 4. These with Bach's tributes to his own children she prefaces with delicate prose clas- sics of the period and an occasional suggestion of a characteristic gavotte or minuet in dance. She utilizes Schu- mann's immortal Reimbursement in the same way; also Brahms lovely chill dren's songs some of which were writ ten for Schumann's own children.
 Her skillful adaptation of the orig inal Hoffman fairy tale, which in spired Tschaikowsky to write his Nu- teracker suite, is a rare combination of subtle humor and poetic beauty.
 kitty Cheatham has turned on a new light touching children's songs. In fact, she has blazed a trail-has been a great pioneer-the creator of ? new art"
