Traced hx Laundry Marx.

Perhaps the most striking instance
on record in England of how laundry
marks assist the police was that Of
the Yarmouth beach mystery, when
the mutilated body of q woman was
discovered on the western shore Of
that, previous to the war, popular sea-
side resort. Over 400 laundrles were
visited by the police to discover the
ownership of the linen found on the
body. TWAS traced at last to a small
hand laundry at Woolwich, whittier it
had been sent by a Mrs. Bennett.
Twelve hours later the dead woman
had been identified, and her husband,
Herbert John Bennett, was in custody
charged with her murder.
He had, as he thought, obliterated
every clew. He had persuaded the
woman to stay at Yarmouth under an
assumed name. He had also, by suspi-
cious pretenses, got her to hide her
identity in every possible way; and
he had decoyed her to the beach at
dead of night and there strangled her
silently, swiftly, secretly-while pre-
tending to caress her. But he over
looked the existence Of that one little
telltale laundry mark-which brought
him to the scaffold. ---- -

AscRIBED TO FALLING STAR
Mystery Crater in Plain of Arizona Is
Thus Explained by Biologists
of Prominence.

About forty miles from Flagstaff,
Ariz., in the midst of great plain,
there is saucer-shaped hollow or
crater about three-quarterS of a mile
across and 600 feet deep. The rim
of the crater rises between $50 and
200 feet above the surrounding plain.
Rocky fragments are scattered about
for several miles around the crater.
Among these rocks many fragments of
meteoric iron, some containing black
diamonds, have been found. The in
ner walls show that the crust of the
earth was broken when the crater was
formed, yet no volcanic rocks exist
there.
Biologists have offered theories to
account for this phenomenon. One is
that an immense meteorite made the
hole, and that the meteoric fragments
mentioned are remnants of the falling
star. Another theory ascribes the
origin Of the crater to a tremendous
explosion of steam in the rocks be-
meath, and third combines the first
two by suggesting that the blow of
falling meteor, striking the earth's
crust at point where subterranean
water had accumulated in the neigh
borhood Of heated rocks was the cause
Of the explosion.

EXCEPTIONS Given TO
Eating PLACE ORDERS

In answer to many inquiries con-
corning the new regulations for eating
places, the Food Administration has
deemed it necessary to explain several
exceptions to the rules.
Sandwiches are excepted from the
restriction in Order on the amount OF
bread that may be served because so
many people, particularly patrons OF
lunch counters make one daily meal
entirely of sandwiches, and substl-
tute is difficult to find.
Poached eggs or Clipped beef on
toast are not forbidden by Order IL,
but garnishing with toast.
Ham and eggs or bacon and eggs
are permitted by Order ~ but not two
kinds of meat.
Any difficulty in finding a way of
disposing of waste to hog breeders or
garbage reduction plants should be re,
ported to the Food Administration.

CAMPAIGN RESULTS
Son of Colin Brings Home the Bacon in .Aqueduct F'eature-Gets Fine Start and Wins Easily.

Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons saddled shnother stake winner at Aqueduct Bace track yesterday afternoon when \ he sent the Quincy Stables Con- padre out to victory in the Rock 81way Selling Stakes of $2,OOO. This black three-year-o colt and son of he mighty Colin, ran a wonderful race under a clever ride by Jockey FT. Walls and copped the lions share
 of the purse after a art-breaking
 huel with the Cleveland Stables |Whimsy through the last sixteenth. The early speed of this game Colin 8was what decided the outcome 'pf the six furlongs trial. The little scoal black colt was away from bar srier like a shot out of 6 gun, and be-
 Fore the first turn had opened Up Sod. Was, aboard etaoin shrducmyp lead of three good lengths of Green Gold. Walls, aboard the pacemaker, sshaved the rail all the way, con- sserving every possible inch of ground, Bill he struck the straightaway d good four lengths in front.
 It looked very much at this stage Iof the Journey as if it would be a
 procession for the stout hearted Con- padre. But the folks of this opinion had not reckoned upon the staying fatalities and the finishing punch of zWhimsy. The latter got off none too well, and suffered severely through Ahe early stages. Indeed, Whmsy ANas shut off badly after the start, so badly that Jockey F. Robinson had to Await until the stretch was reached to
 extricate himself.
