Believing that the trunk contained

expressmen opened it and found the
woman's body. The body had been
jamm ed into the trunk and the clothes
apparently had been thrown in after
ward.
There were no marks of violence on
the body, express company employees

tents for investigation.
The body, which had been covered
over with feminine wearing apparel
of good material, had been crammed
into the trunk, which is two and one
half feet high and three feet long. The
trunk. which was bound with
clothes line, was so crowded by its
contents that it bulged at the side.
Investigation reveals that the wom-
ans legs were broken. probably after
death, to make the body fit the trunk.
which was a small affair. There are
also indications that the woman prob
ably had been strangled before her
body was thrust into the case.
The feminine wearing apparel found
on the body; the police say, consisted
of complete outfit. including a silk
negligef and high shoes>evidently Of

and weighed about 1870 pounds, had
blue eyes and had been fairly good
jaw slightly protruded. but this is be-
lieved to be a natural deformity.
The woman was a. brunette, the po-
lice say. Her body, which had been
jammed into the trunk with her head
thrown back and her knees crowded
in newspapers and a long piece of
cloth. The newspapers were all De-
troit editions of June and 1O4
Chief Medical Examiner DR.. Charles
Norris examined the body and said

moved to the morgue for an autopsy.

had to be summoned to keep the
street open for traffic.

additional information.
No Clue In Detroit.
DETROIT, Mich. July 23.-Police
here declared they were without a
clue as to the identity of the body of
a woman found in trunk in an ex-
press warehouse in New York today.
Neither could they throw any light
upon the identity OF the person who
shipped the trunk from here on June

and bugles. autographed with opa-
descent taffeta, it looks as tho the
headgear had been made for some one
who took part in a comic opera. Yet
there are women who are wearing
these turbans and manage to carry
them off with distinction. They liken
themselves to gypsies, not savages, and
let it go at that. It's another touch
of the Spanish influence, of course.
Scarfs That Drop Down.
The demurest hat in these new
models has a SCARF that wraps itself
around the crown, is made of silk net
in a neutral color, ana falls down one
side of the figure nearly to the knees.
AT the edge of the brim, just over the
scarf, two red roses are attached with
their stems longer than nature ever
permitted them to- grow. The roses
themselves touch the waistline. The
sketch shows this hat. The straw is
black and glistening ard the scarf is
of brown tulle.
Not only the tulle draperies, the
roses and the earrings drop downward
from the brims of spring hats, but the
paradise. the huge brushes of silk and
straw. the ornamental tassels of feath-
ers and floss dangle over one ear or
the other.
Paris fashion of last summer is
also repeated in long, heavy Victorian
curls that are attached to the under
part of the brim to drop over the
shoulders, making every young woman
look as tho she were a potential Mary
Pickford.

"WeIl, perhaps can" she shouted.
She darted by the outlook, thru heavy
curtains. into the midst of a crap
game. She says she saw the cop bank
ing the game long enough to get his
badge number before the lights were
snapped off. In the scramble she
grabbed a man and hung on.
Got Husbands Watch.
81 don't go until I get my husband S
watch she insisted. Her prisoner in
sisted he had pawned 1t for $35. He
gave her $35. She demanded her hus-
bands last pay check.
It's gone" was the reply.
What time is it ?" she asked.
Just f."
That's my husbands watch. Give
it to me Now And the man she was
hanging onto handed it over without
question.
"Pll give you just two days to re-
turn my husbands pay check" was
her ultimatum as she hurried from
the dive midst an echo of outlaws.
There are no names in this story
because the wife doesn't want her hus-
band to lose his job. She has hopes
of seeing some of the next pay check

Whatever is on a hat today must
go down. The brave upward flares
of trimming have ceased.
This fashion, which began tenta-
lively a year ago, is now in full swing
and acceptance 1t dominates the
spring millinery. 1t will be regarded
with anxiety and diapproval by GER
tain types of women VINO have de-
pending upon the height of their hats
to offset the shortness OF their figures.
The Indian wigwam hats those in
which paradise swirled to ten inches
above the crown, have gone with the
autumn leaves. The entire movement
in millinery for the incoming season
is opposed to height. The short woman
must augment her lack of inches In
another way. There is really no ne
cessity TO do this unless she has ar
rived at the stout. matronly age when
she feels compelled to take some &C
ton that will give length to breadth.
Another striking innovation in new
millinery is the extra brim that rolls
away from the head. 1t does not oom-
pei the dropping brim to go back on
the shelf. The milliners say there is
room for all kinds of hats in the world.

Got Her Husbands Watch
Serves Notice Gamblers She Is Coming Back After
His Last Weeks Pay Check-Police Had Re-

in Her Home Gone.

Kansas City, Mo-. March 20.-In-
censed by refusal of police to aid her,
a woman raided gambling dive here
today where her husband had been
losing his pay checks for a month.
She claims policeman was banking
the crap game.
What's more, she claims she got the
number of his badge and intends to
report it to the police commissioners.
Governor Gardner was expected to
come here today for a conference with
the police commissioners regarding
city-wide charges that gambling has
full police protection here. -
For weeks the husband, a railroad
switchman, has been losing his pay
checks in a dive. two blocks from the
police station. Two weeks ago he lost
a 500 watch there.
All Furniture Gone.
The home was almost devoid of fur
niture. The player piano went to pay
the grocery bill. The wife's diamond
went to buy food. The husband only
drew down $3.50 pay in February.

At an early age. Eugene Pullen was
an express driver. He handled rail-
road baggage. One day after deliver
ing heavy trunk on an upper floor
he felt pain in the right groin. The
suffering increased and it was not long
before the young man noticed the
swelling.
The doctor told young Pullen that
he was ruptured and that he must
either wear a truss throughout life or
submit to a drastic operation. All sur
gems know that hernia operations.
with anaesthctics. etc, are dangerous;
they may end fatally. Moreover, it is
a well esta blished fact that many rup-
ture operations are not successful the
bowel soon breaks through the sewed-
up opening and protrudes worse than
ever.
Afraid of Operation.
Like most others. Mr. Pullen de-
clined to take the risks of an opera
ton; the expense and loss of time had
to be considered, too. Hoping he
might get little better encourage
ment. he went to another physician
who, to his sorrow. gave him even less
hope. 1t was pointed out to the young
man that unless the rupture were per-
fectly held all the time or the sur
geon's knife successfully used, he
might expect an increase or doubling
in the rupture with further complica-
lions, or the dreaded stranguiated
hernia which kills SO many ruptured
people.
Victim of Trasscs.
The victim bought a truss, q hard.
spring-li1e affair, the best he could
get. 1t tortured him. He tried an
other-still no relief. He was COM
PEELED to give UP his express business.
The hard tasks of ordinary men were
forbidden him. He became an insur-
| ance agent, in which position he did
not need to do bodily work.
! For six years Mr.. Pullen dragged
around, using various trusses, hard
| elastic, etc. with never any content

something she had just found out. II
was a simple and easy thing for him
to do. He lost no time.

Last summer the cauliflower hat, as
it was recklessly called, had its own
way in Paris, and it was the first
harbinger of the regular br1m that
turned upward in the Spanish fashion.
1t was made in flutings, il scalloped
petals of silk, satin, or taffeta.
Today the idea is repeated in half a
hundred models, aitho the fluting and
pinking has disappeared. There are
certain hats with upturneo brims of
straw that have regular foundations
in the surface as tho they were made
with a Marcel iron. And even on
these hats the trimming goes DOWN
ward, even If the brim goes upward
The contrast is a bit strange, and.
after all. it is a queer idea to introduce
this upturEed Spanish brim at a time
when the whole emphasis of millinery
is laid on the downward plunge.
Barring this rolling briln, here are
the various ways in which the new
hats show their Victorian tendency to
droop. Some of these methods are
erratic and sensational; others are as
demure as the behavior of a Jane Aus
tin heroine.

THE SUMMER HOSTESS


coffee or iced drinks will satisfy the
keen appetites that a walk or ride in
the open air is likely to produce. Some
hostesses arrange the portions all
ready to serve by using paper ice
cream cases to contain the salad so
that this does not have to be dished
out into plates which are passed with
sandwiches on them. Each hostess will
manage the serving of coffee In the
manner she finds most convenient. II
she uses vacuum bottles It Is all taken
care of at home. Most picnic crowds
enjoy making II and small tin cups are
the most practical things to take along
unless one has collapsible cups OF
metal. The sunset picnic usually ex.
tends itself into the twilight and some
times into the dark. A bonfire is as
much n pleasure TO the grown-up city
dweller as Il is to the small boy and
ought to finish of the experience I'm
the happIest way.
IL the hostess can manage to light
her veranda and evenings are not too
cool, her guests Will enjoy cards there
very much. Many small colored Ian
terms never lose their charm and their
cleaning is a song OF welcome. A big
porch is dlspensatlon of providence
to the hostess who is entertaining peo-
pie who love to dance. Given a porch
and n victrola they will take care OF
the evenings for themselves. In lati-
tudes where II is cool an open wood
fire warns the heart and soul OF the
average city dweller who must content
to live without any such in
spiration TO conversation and story
telling.
