PLANNED DOUBLE SUICIDE?
Woman Shot in Kansas City Hotel
May Yet Recover.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 9.-Miss
Ruth Shoemaker. young woman OF
Rockwell, Iowa, who was found shot
thru the neck in a leading hotel here,
early yesterday. in company with a
man registered as l.. B. Schermerhorn
of Des Moines, was reported today to
have passed a good night at the hos
pital. Hospital authorities stated an
operation would be performed this
morning in an effort to save her life.
At last reports from police head
quarters, Schermerhorn was being held
pending a further investigation. So
far he has refused to make any state
ment in connection with the affair.
Police have formed a theory of double
suicide, based on incoherent state
ments of Schermerhorn when taken
into custody, and a new revolver and
cartridges found in the hotel room
which were believed purchased for the
purpose.

New York.-There is no end to silk
frocks. One might add that there is
no end to silk costumery. The time
has gone by when woHlan was con-
sidered economical if she bought cot
ton stockings; now she is extravagant.
Those who never thought of SILK
nightgowns or chemises as possible
part of their wardrobes, now wear
them as a matter of course. We are
a nation of silken clad figures. This is
due to economy and is part of the
topsy-turvy condition of life as it
stands today, We will wear whatever
the government does not need. All
values are reversed. All traditions
are challenged. All schedules are over
turned.

Whereas, the town board of the
