SHERIFF GRIFFIN
CLEVER DETECTIVE
CAPTURES HORSE THIEF BY
SMOOTH PIECE OF WORK.
STOLE HORSE AND SADDLE.

Sheriff Griffin does a pretty piece Of
detective work. Last Wednesday
night someone entered the stables Of
Hayes Denton and stole one of his
horses and then went to the stable Of
Laurice Moore, both Of Glendale, and
stole his Richardson saddle.
Sheriff Griffin was notified Of the
fact Thursday morning and he got
busy at once notifying all Of the off,
Gals Of the adjoining counties. No
trace could be established, but FRI
day he learned that a man living in
the northern section of the county
was missing. He called up Mr.. Dem
ton and was informed that the miss.
ing man used to live In that neighbour.
hood and had borrowed the horse upon
several occasions from Mr. Denton.
He then got in communication with
the sheriff Of Lawrence county and
told him to look out for one Guy
Prince. white man, but getting no
word from that section he had about
abandoned hope of getting onto the
trail of the stolen animal. Saturday
evening Sheriff Griffin went to the
station and saw Prince step from the
train. He asked him II he had seen
anything of Mr.. Denton's horse. Sher.
III Griffin said that he noticed that
the young man acted a little bit un.
easy, but he let him go as he had no
proof on him. Soon afterward he re-
ceived message from Lawrenceburg
that Prince had disposed of the horse
fourteen miles from that place by maxi
ing several swaps. 1t was then up to
Sheriff Griffin to find his man. He
put all his deputies on the Job and
soon afterward they caught him on
the Santa Fe pike on his way home.
Prince was placed in jail to await
action of the court.

blouse is an elastic thing. 1t may be a
mere frill below the belt or it may
extend to the knees. 1t will be well
coined by many. because it is handy

During this meeting movement
was established to discourage as
much as possible the tendency to
poverdress for business occasions.
Many business women apparel them
selves for the office in costumes which
would be much more appropriate for
party or afternoon function. They
apparently forget that the we'll
dressed women always wear costume
suitable to the occasion and bust
ness office is certainly no place for
furbelows and elaborate dress. The
costumers are to develop distinctive
styles for the purposes of business
and they will be SO designed that we
do not doubt the comon sense of the
average American woman will make
this movement success"
Madame Custer brought back with
her a complete assortment of the pat
terms features at the exhibition. They
make quite collection and she is
proud that they are all the work of
American designers. She asserts the
American woman Is better dressed
than those OF any other nation and for
this she declares the American cos
tuner and dress-maker is responsible.

MADAM CUSTER
TALKS OF STYLES
RETURNS FROM A VISIT TO THE
LEADING MARKETS OF
COUNTRY.

Last week Madame A. s. Custer OF
the Maury Dry Goods company, at
tended the annual Spring Convention
of the Fashion Art League of America,
held in Chicago. This league was
formed by the leading American cos
tuners, with the worthy purpose OF
fostering art in costuming in this
country. The costumes exhibited are
de- gned and executed in, the United
States and competent judges award
prizes for the best efforts.
When interviewed last evening,
Madame Custer said:
"This years exhibits were to me
source of great satisfaction, because
they indicated the great advance made
by American costumers as a result OF
the work of the league.
IN the exhibitions the various
items comprising the ladies' wardrobe
are displayed on 'mannequins' or
women models who assume the yari-
Gus costumes so the effects OF any
pose can readily be seen. In this man
ner the leading designers and costum-
ers are better able to judge the arts
tic merits Of the costumes. AS the
models are of all types it is not SO
difficult a matter to decide the right
or wrong effect for each type. One
eminent authority on dress, put 1t
The right thing on the right woman
always looks good
AS always simplicity marks good
taste and this years models are al
most severe in their simplicity.
"Blouses are the thing this year and
the separate skirt has again come into
its own. Waists of Georgette are the
waists of the hour, with suit colors
and white, gold, flesh and maize.
These are usually embellished with
hand embroidery In large open de-
signs, On colored waists more and
more colored silks are used. Beading
in crystal. milk colors are featured.
For very dressy wear gold embroidery
with beading in an elaborate way are
noticeable. There are sport suits In
khaki-kool to be seen, also. some
crepe and novelty stripe silks to be
work with separate skirts for outing.
Some pongee waists, with high color
cuffs and collar trimmed styles for
outing were In the exhibits.

FINLAND GETS RELIEF.
Forty Thousand Tons of Oats and
Corn Released for Shipment.

Though America and her allies need
every bit of grain this country has in
stock. the food administration and the
war trade board have consented to
the reIase of ten shipIoads, about
10000 tons, of oats and corn to be
sent to Finland. where the people are
reported to be on the verge of starva-
ton. The grain will be on its way as
quickly as the ships can be loaded.
Or. Kaarle Ignatius., special commits
sioner from Finland ito the United
States. says the situation in his coun-
try is desperate. Ordinarily the Firms
grow about half their food require
nents, importing the other half from
Russia This year frosts killed practi-
caily their entire cereal crop, and dis
organized conditions in Russia have
cut off that source of supply Twelve
million dollars worth of food bought
in Russia and paid for never reached
Finland, the trains, where shipment
was started, being looted on the way
The war trade board has directed
that one of its agents go from Sweden
to Finland to Investigate conditions
there. and to see to it that aid extend
ed by America does not accrue to the
benefit of Germany.
