A skating suit is becoming a nee
cssary garment for every completes
fashionable wardrobe. II one IS
really smart and up-to-date one
skates and if one does not skate at
least one wears skating toys when
spending an afternoon at an indoor
rink watching the others. On ac-
count of the warmth in most Of the
indoor Kinks it is necessary and in
'sct uncomfortable to wear tbeS
heavy wooden clothing and MS
while skating. II is for this reason
that many sports suits which have
come out in the past season have
looked almost like spring or sum-
mer garments.
The skating suit pictured is a
charming model which illustrates
perfectly the type of suit most pop
ular at the indoor Kinks. 1t is fash
toned of a green jersey weave nov
city cloth with white angora trim
ming. A long unusual vestee and
many white buttons are noticeable
features. A small fur toque which
fits the head snugly finishes the
costume.

on the government testing planta-

BID ALONE rs NOT
EXPECTED TO END
RUSSIAN PROBLEM

Paris. Jan. 27.-Havas) The
allied and associated powers are
not relying solely upon the sue
cess of the proposal for a confer
ence OF the various Russian fac
tons for a solution of the Russian
problem. According to the Echo d.
arts, President Wilson took into
consideration in making his pro-
posal to the conference the posi-
bility that the Bolsheviki would re-
iuse to cease their hostile attitude
and make the cessation of hostili-
ties an essential condition for the
holding of the Marmora conference.
The proposals relating to the
Russian question have, therefore,
the newspaper states, been put for
ward by him in accordance with
Premier Lloyd George.

ADD REAL LIFE TO
BOOTLEG MOVIES

Chicago, Jan. 27.-NCamera!
yelled the director.
They began, to shoot the bootleg
ging scene on the 1ndiana-lllincis
state line.
The Chicago firm was making the
picture. The scene purported to
depict thrilling captures of Hoosier
auto bootleggers rushing whisky
into Indiana.
Chief of Police Austgen Of Ham
mond, a squad of Hammond police
and a number of federal officers
had agreed to take part! While the
picture was being taken traffic was
halted on Indianapolis boulevard.
A line of autos and trucks waited
impatiently for completion OF the
reel.
Suddenly one of the trucks tried
to get by The police forgot the
moving picture and drew their
guns, ordering the truck to stop. F..
SyIzi, South Bend. was the driver.
While the camera man was swear
ing because the scene had been
spoiled by the impetuous Sylzi. the
police investigated. On the truck
was a carefully camoufiaged load of
booze.
In a frenzy the camera man lev
eled his machine and began to OPP
crate again, when there was a sec
ond interruption. A high-powered
limousine shot into the scene. The
driver disregarded orders of the
police and federal officers to stop.
All activities ceased.
Two policemen were left in
charge of SylZi, while the other po-
lice chased the limousine in motor
cycles and other vehicles. They
caught the fugitives in a crowded
Hammond street, far from the
maddening movie operator.
The occupants were Theo Van
derhout, a well known Mishawaka
business man, and his son, julius.
Is. There were so gallons of
whisky in the car. A moment later
the movie operator dashed madly
up to the scene in another automo-
bile, but it was too late. The crowd
prevented him from getting the pic
ture.
Adam Schaffer of Hammond got
off a street car to see what it was
all ABOUT. MS suitcase seeLneu "

officers investigated it.
In it there was found a quantity
of bottled liquor and photograph

The police confscated the booze
and handed the record back to
Schaffer He looked at it with
peculiar expression on his face
and, smashing the record on the
ground, yelled:
