NASHVILLE MUIR
DER MYSTERY
Police Make Discovery in the
Cooper Case

Nashville, Sep, with the dis
covery Of plainly visible bloodstaineo
| finger prints on the automobile in
which Robin J. Cooper, young Nash
ville attorney, was murdered last
Thursday night near Belle Meade
Park, police late tonight stated they
were nearer a solution of the mys-
terry than they have been since the
body was found in Richland Creek
Saturday morning.
The finger print was found on the
rear right door of the machine and
can be plainly seen with the eye at a
distance Of several feet. An eXamlna-
ton Of the automobile showed other
finger prints but the one most dis
tinct is a blood stained print on the
side of the door which the authori-
ties believe was made by the murder
err in removing the. slain man from
the car.
Expert Bertiilon operators have
been sent To-, to make an examination
of the finger prints and to photo
graph the stained car. 1t is expected
that the Bertillon sleuths will ar
rive Thursday afternoon or Friday
officers working on the case refuse
to say from what city the expert op-
orators would come.
| Nashville papers dated July 6,
and 10, Of this year, and found in the
blood covered automobile, are also
being examined for finger prints. The
papers are also being held for an ad-
Gitional clue which authorities may
prove to be of an advantage. Robert
A. Moore, chief of detectives, who is
in possession of the papers. said he
felt certain that new developments
would be brought out Thursday in
connection With the papers but re-
fused to reveal his secret.
Still clinging to the first theory that
Cooper probably met his death at the
hands of a blockade runner or sew
eral Nashville bootleggers. the au,
thcrities today examined several 9th
er alleged liquor peddlers. A woman
whose namo the police refused to re.
veal was summoned to headquarters
late this afternoon and rigidly ques-
toned by detectives. They said they
were seeking to ascertain the where
abouts Of another whiskey dealer
through the woman. They say she
,>,ew nothing regarding the crime.

Sumter county may as well face
the fact that permansat roads are a
pecessity and that it will be economy
to build them, although the cost will
be great, rather than to keep on
spending thousands Of doNars every
year on road work that does not OUT
last the first big rain. It will .be.
cheaper to pay the interest on bonds
to build roads that cost $4,000 the
mile than ospend money every year
on the same roads and still have no

enough to keep the brassiere frcm
sagging away from the figure. This
effect Is noticed sometimes on very
thin women and 1t is neither modest
nor pretty Do not run an elastic
through the top of your brassiere,
however; a tightly drawn elastic over
this part of the figure might be very
injurious. Rely on ribbon run
through casing. and on shoulder
/ the brassiere up.
Curiously enough the bandeau, or
bust confiner, though it is a sma Ter
garment than the brassiere and much
less elaborate in the way of material
and trimming, Is a vastly moro diff
cult garment to manufacture at home.
A brassiere is partly daintiness of
fabric and partly tit "a bandeau mus:
be all fit. 1t Is wisest to buy the
bandeau ready made, and to GO TO
first class corset shop for it. Lasting
injury may be done TO delicate organs
If Il Is too tight in the wrong place,
or badly adjusted on the figure. Put
yourself in the hands of a good cor
setiere and be fitted with the best
bandeau for your figure-needs. Then
stick to that make and style of
bandeau and put all your new ideas
and surplus pennies into dainty bras
sieres in up-to-date style.
Just now the brassiere is mostly
ribbon. There is a craze for these rib
bon brassieres and very pretty affairs
they are, for wear under summer bod
ices and blouses. Two new brassieres
made of Lady Fair ribbon-a supple.
lustrous ribbon much in demand for
trimming purposes this season-are
pictured. In each case the ribbon is
used in quite'a unique manner: one
brassiere has q lattice work OF narrow |
Lady Fair ribbons set between wide |
strips of the ribbon that make the top |
and bottom of the brassiere. The 9th
er model has pale blue Lady Fair rib
bon in two-inch width set between
lace strips of equal width-all the
strips set obliquely. The shoulder
straps of this brassiere are of the blue
'ibbon overlaid with strips of the lace.
rhe latticed ribbon model has shoulder
traps made Of the narrow ribbon used

| for the lattice work; and these shoul-
der straps are the sort that most wom-
en- find more comfortable than the
single strap kind. There are two
shoulder straps of the narrow ribbon
at either side and these narrow straps
are caught together for a few inches
over the shoulder. The suspender eff
feet at front and back keeps the bras
siere up better than single wide
strap and the suspender arrangem ent
almost never says down over the arm.
To make the latticed brassiere baste
the upper and lower strips of wide
ribbon TO wrapping paper at the right
distance apart, and with the right side
of the ribbon down-or against the
paper Arrange the strips of narrow
ribbon in the latticed effect across the
space between the wide ribbons, bast-
ing the latticed ribbons to the wide
ribbons but not through the paper.
Cut away the hastings that hold the
wide ribbons to the paper and stitch
with the sewing machine along the
edges to which the lattice work is bast-
ed. If you use double-faced Lady Fair
ribbon for this lattice work, or any
not be necessary to have short strips for
the lattice work-with the subsequent
labor Of turning-in and sewing down the
ends on the wrong side of the brassiere
but one long strip of the narrow
ribbon may be used, turning it over
each time as it reaches the edge TO
make the next angle of the lattice. The
strip of lace is applied last of all un-
derneath and another row of machine
holds it in place.
To make the brassiere with oblique |
trimming, cut a piece of wrapping pa !
per exactly the size of your brassiere |
rs a foundation to work on Cut the /
strips of ribbon and lace in equal |
engths and pin ribbon and lace strips |
on the paper in a true bias.
Then when the ends of the strip be-
'ome the front edges OF your brassiere
he strips of lace and ribbon will meet
accurately and there will be no break
n the true bias, or oblique, effect
When all the strips have been pinned
n and you are sure they are evenly
rranged, baste securely along upper f;
nd lower edges through the paper.
