Pittsburgh, Pa.-High heeled shoes dragged Mrs. c. Stefler, aged forty two, to slow death when she was crushed beyond recognition between an elevator cage and the shaft wall in the North Park apartments, No 204 East North avenue, where she resided.
 Mrs. Steffier vas hurrying through the hall going 10 the elevator when John Gibson, the elevator operator, in formed her thatfhe would carry her up after he had answered a telephone call. As Mrs St Ter stepped into the waiting car her high heeled shoes caught between the elevator and the floor In an effort to extricate herself she fell forward, grasping the cable of the cage which started slowly to de scend to the basement, pinning her between the steel cage and the wall.

Sports Togs" is short caption for a long story since there are sports tOgs of many kinds. The most fascinating and interesting of these are the clothes that have borrowed the character of those garments made for real sports wear but not intended for service, just flor looks" The sweater coats and varied scarfs made of silk or wool in many fanciful and fragile ways, the delicate colored headwear and the very handsome skirts of sports silks are all examples of sports clothes made to be admired for their beauty, not for the usefulness to the sportswoman. They serve very useful purpose, however. No matter how elegant and rich their materials these clothes are informal and very smart in character. They are a part of the play-the sports clothes of onlookers--in which they are we'll enough dressed and not too much dressed for whatever the day may bring.
 After the brilliant skirts of heavy, rough silk weayes the most interesting members of the sports family are the scalfs and sweaters that are refined and glorified notifications of their forerunners, the warm wooden scurf and sweater. The new scarfs are in

Husbands of the wom- en made frantic attempts to obtain thelr release on bonds, saying they needed the women to keep the home 1res burning" and one man, who could not raise the $200 bond required, took his three little children to the police station and offered to leave them in custody as surety for his wife's ap- pearance in court. The offer was re fused. Later the women were re leased on cash bond of $1,000 given by the strike committee.
 The rioting followed the attempt to reopen the Minnequa steel mills, closed since July. Austrian women stoned the workers who tried to enter the plant.

ted States. Such is the statement of the United States department of la- bor
 '"The growing needs of the country demand thet some such comprehen- sive highway system be constructed" says Robert F. Black, Chicago mana ger of a large motortruck concern.
 "In the past there has been too great lack of foresight on the part of the road builders. They have lacked yi- sion to foresee the requirements of even five years ahead. A road built today must be built, not with the idea of present traffic but that of ten years in the future.
 "The growing need of the cay Is for transportation. We have simply got to provide it. We cannot stop it and the sentiment of the country will not tol- crate any handicap of our transporta- tion system.
 With each year the railroads are becoming more and more inadequate. Motor transportation is growing eco- nomical necessity, fact that is being recognized more and more each day as motortrucks are called upon to handle traffic that the railroads cannot accom- modate.
 "Estimates prepared by engineering authorities show that the United States could afford to spend S1,25O,- OOO, ,0OO on hard-surfaced road system of 5O,OOO miles which would serve di- rectly and indirectly ST per cent of the population of the entire country. Not only would such a system be an economic asset that would pay for itself many times over, but its con- struction would provide work for many thousands of people for num- Der of years, and in that respect alone would have great business value to the country in general.
 "War increases business to replace the great losses of destruction; but the development of nation in times of peace provides a more normal and healthy market for labor and mate rial that can be made stabilizer of business and industrial conditions.
 "A well planned national highway system is necessity, and as soon as the nation can complete the plan con- ditions will force putting 1t into opera tion."

We are told that all the foremost designers both in France and America, are advocating with one accord, sim plicity in the construction of clothes. Let us be duly and truly thankful, be- cause the inevitable result will be bet ter looking and more artistic garments. There is something so satisfying about a simple dress, with no freakish points in it's make up, and every little in- geni0us touch in its construction be- comes important and gratifying.
 The two pretty afternoon frocks shown in the picture above are exam ples of simplicity that is ingenious as well. Satin which proves the most reliable of all fabrics for dresses of this kind, reveals a plain, straight skirt having tunic over it irregular in length and finished at the edges with covered cord of satin. The bloused bodice fastens on the shoulder and along one side, over an underbody. with satin covered buttons. Satin makes the wide, crushed girdle with

 Satin and georgette are associated in the dress at the right. the under skirt being of satin and the bodice and tunic of georgette, But the tunic is bordered with satin band and row of small satin-covered but tons appear at each side of this border. The shaped sleeves are long and ex- tend over the band n bit. The plaited frill that finishes the neck is of geof< gette crepe also, but the plain girdle is made of the satin.
 The vogue for simplicity is particu- larly favorable to afternoon frocks of velvet or velveteen. These are usually one-piece frocks without tunics, but the skirts are draped. There is lik- ing for three-quarter length sleeves in velvet frocks and for brilliant vesteex and handsome lace collars and cuffs Nothing makes quite so good a back ground for good laces as these frockt of velvet.

New York.-Of interest to all who have heard the call of the North and the lure of exploration Is the an- nouncement that yilhjalmur Stefans- son found the abandoned cache of Sir Leopold McClintock, commander Of the Intrepid, in the Arctic after a lapse of more than half century. It was Sir Leopold McClintock, in com mand of the ship Intrepid, who found traces of the voyage of that unfortun- ate explorer Sir John Franklin. He built n cache on Melville island, pre- sumably between 1850 and 1854 when In quest of t,dings of Sir John Frank lin and the members of his ill-fated expedition in the Arctic.
 Located by Stefansson.
 The McClintock cache was located by Stefansson, who reports that he found everything in almost as good condition as when placed there m 1853. Articles of clothing he found particularly well preserved and much better in quality than the clothing or today, and the food and supplies Tel. in the Arctic cache by Commander McClintock and his men also were well preserved, despite the severe weather known to prevail in the Arc tic regions.

 That species-the Laysan teal-has fortunately increased until there are, by estimate, thirty-five individuals. For the United States department of agriculture, for a few years, has con trolled the islands as a bird reserya- tion-the Hawaiian islands reservation. Ii is called. But protecting the birds there is a preearious business. The possibility has existed always that one or more of the rare species might be wiped out in day.

 Just now many fishermen--largely nationals of countries other than the United States-are extending their op- eratlons from Honolulu out to the re- zion of the bird reservation.
