KITCHENER Death

SPELLED "SHETLAND"

(By Newspaper Enterprise Associaiion.)
LONDON, Sept. iO-A sensational
story Of the code oablegram that led
to the murder Of Lord Kitchener in a
British cruiser has Just been made pub
lie by Arnold White. the British pub
licist.
How did the Germans know that
Kitchener was on the cruiser IIamp-
shire? How did they know where the
Hampshire was? or did they know2"
These questions have been propound-
Ell an over the world, following the
sinking Of the warship and with ii the
great British general.
White answers these questions. He
1rst made the revelation at a meeting
Of the British Empire Union recently.
"Kitchener's murder" he said, Is
one Of the great proofs OF the existence
OF a great, ably-organlzed and wonder
ful machine in our midst.
"TNventy-four hours before the voy-
age it was decided TO alter the course
Of the Hampshire 10 enable a visit TO
be made TO the islands in the north.
"On that day a cablegram was sent to
Holland asking in clear English:
"'Shall Herbert enter the legal Acad-

had gone 30 the expense Of cabling the

If we were commission
ed to select that single
piece for you, it would be-
well, let us see:
Maybe that superb round
platter, 1S inches in di-
ameter, of opalescent glass,
with rim of clear glass. IL
is partly covered with a
unique design in latticed or
diamonded effect, studded
with large, raised, oval
shaped BLUE dots that look
like turquoises.
AS an ornament alone
this piece of splendor would
pay for its keep at only
SIS; but il may be put to
work for its living at
watermelon time, or may
be heaped with sandwiches,
small cakes or fruit; while
as a "float" for water-lilies
or other fiat floral decora-
tions it would be loveliness
itself.
In that same fascinating
turquoise-studded glass
come several large candy
jars, and a vase or two.
One jar (S10) is of the opal
escent glass, with clear
glass for the base and rim,
while another, also costing
$40, is of a family tinted
green.
THE candy-jar is decid-
Il edly the vogue now,
you know, and there are
many different styles, at
different prices, to be found
in the Glass and China
Store, but none more at

Venetian collection.
One in milky glass, ap-
preaching iridescent effect,
is a thing of art. In shape
it rises in a succession of
spiral swells, like the move
ment of sand-waves i'm a
wind-storm, to the top,
which is crowned by a pear
of yellow glass which forms
the stopper. Only Sc.
Other examples of the
moderateness of the prices
are vases at 50 to SIP; can
dlesticks at $40 pair;
plaques a n d sandwich
trays, 81 to $40; finger
bowls, including plates, $12
a dozen.
The jam jars seem to at
tract most people (even
without the jamD They
are cunning little globular
jars, containing just about
enough jam to satisfy any
family that respects Hoov-

both amber and pale green
glass, with lids ornament

cunningly wrought glass

Motorcycle for Hunting.

The feat Of the horseback rider
Of cowboy days who could kill game

equaled, II not surpassed, by a nat
uralist and taddermist who shoots
some Of his quarry while riding at
high speed on his motorcycle, accord
ing to the Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. He has devised a clamp to hold
his loaded shotgun above the gasoline
tank Of his cycle, while sling at
tached to the weapon passes over his
shoulder. His method Is to ride swift
" along the road and, when he sees a
desirable bird perched near the high
way, he seizes his gun and fires upon
1t without slackening speed. This, Of
course, involves skill in riding with.
out touching the handlebars. BY this
spectacular method the naturalist Is
able to fell birds which would take
