signed 1t. "These united colonies are
and Of right ought to be free and In

bat at that time independence was
the biggest and best thing the fathers
could purchase in a war of seven
years. They could not enjoy the un-
alienable rights of "life. liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" while ruled
by Great Britain, for to be subject to
England meant to be robbed and ex-
plotted, jailed or hanged at the behest
of half-mad German. George Ill, who
wore the British crown.
And so the patriots proposed to
stand alone, to be Independent. They
proposed an equitable self-rule on lines
more liberal than ever had been tried !;
there were to be neither kings nor
kinglets but rather IA state of human
equality.
Across the water 1t was n dark day

II you have foresworn motor tour
for good reasons, do not allow yourself
to stroll into shops or through the de-
partments in big stores where motor
togs are on display. Temptation lies
there, along with the proper outfit for
any sort of motoring. Yes, these motor
clothes suggest all sorts of alluring
outings. from tour across the cOnti-
nent to that of few hours along per-
feet roads and through smart towns,
and each has its own charm. The coats.
capes, sweaters and hats show that
motor and other sport clothes have be-
come more specialized than ever be-
fore.
Leading off with coats there are
leather coats like that shown in the

leather and the skirt portion of tweed
or other heavy wool goods.
Leaving leather out of the reckoning
there are comfortable coats of tweed,
covert cloth and heavy Jersey, and
these, like the leather and part leather
coats, have certain fine quality of style
that comes in garments that Insure
adaptabllity to the sort of demands
made upon them. Among the Jersey
coats are more unusual mixtures In
which two colors are woven together
In the fabric with something of
changeable effect. For all ordinary mo-
toring these cloth coats are most de-
pendable. Besides there are the new
cdmel's hair coats, beautifully soft,
shown In fascinating tan shades, and
especially stylish. And last comes the
coat of pongee. which has vitality
that insures 1t n long future and his-
tory that proves it always elegant.
To wear with these there are fetch
ing motor hats of millinery patent

British Soldiers Riot.

London.-The mutinous conduct of
troops at Sutton camp, Surrey, which
has been growing for the last ten days,
eliminated In the format N of a com
mittee by the men and their refusal to
obey orders. Two battalions of troops
were sent to the camp In light fighting
trim and with machine gun. The
troops arrested 400 men, and dis
patched 1,SOO other men to camps at
Dover and Canterbury. The main
grievance of the men was that they
were being ordered to France.

A cake that is baked with as little
flour as will hold 1t up makes n much
more tender and delicate one. The
baking is most important factor in
good cake making. Have the oven
very hot for layer cake and bake
from 10 to IL minutes. For loaf
cake which needs 40 minutes to bake,
divide the time Into quarters. The first
ten minutes see that the cake begins
to rise. the second ten minutes it

BRUTAL CHILD MURDER SOLVED
 BY A CONFESSION
By As-.v~a.ed rrss.

Chicago. July 2z.--Thomas Fitx- gerald, night warchnan of Q rcsi-. dential hotel, today confessed to the police that he had murdered six year old Janet Wilkinson, n nefghbOr's child, and thus brought to climax one of Chicago's most stirring police cases.
 Fitzgerald, 80 years old and mar ried, made his confession after five sleepiess days and nights of ques- tioning, and then led the police to his home where he had concealed the body last Tuesday. The child had been strangIed.
 A crowd surrounded the home and when the body was removed there were threats against the con- fessed murderer. A strong guard was thrown about. him and he was hurried to n cell. The crowd fol- lowed to the station where 1t was dispersed. When the child, daugh- ter of n grocer, disa ppcared xuspi- cfon was directed toward Fitxger- aid and he was arrested.
 Two days ago FitzgeraId's wife was called home from Michigan. At first she declared implicit faith In her husband but later said she be- lieved he had knowledge of the child's disappearance.
 Seldom has the populace been so aroused over criminal cnse here. Various independent organizations had begun fnvestigat tions and one Chicago newspaper today offered n reward of S2,5O0 for information leading to a solution. The father of the child had offered a reward of $500.
