WEDDING
 FOR WEALTHY BRIDE

 CHICAGO, June 23.-The marriage of Miss Lolita Armour, charming daughter of J. Ogden Armour, multi millionaire packer, this month to John J. Mitchell, Jr, will be featured by a score of innovations so far as they concern weddings among the fashion ably rich.
 Miss Armour will wear trousseau made from left overs,' will be jewell less during the ceremony and will have no fuss and feathers"
 q guess I'm old-fashioned," sE said.
 She denied report that her bridal gown would be draped with lace vel ued at $1,oO0 a yard.
 'I am going to wear some lace /" she added "but it will be fashioned from bits of the wedding gown worn by my mother. It has no intrinsic little sentiment that's all."
 Miss Armour displayed a love for simple things in discussing her we'd ding plans.
 Il am going to wear a rousseau made up of left overs when I leave on my honeymoon I think extrava. gance as displayed by some brides is horrid. My things are going to be very simple. And sos the wedding We think an elaborate ceremony would be quite foolish. None of us want it. No fuss for me thank you'

CRIM[NALS0
 COAST LEAVE
 FOR THEEAST
tBy International News Service)

tBy International News Service)
 SACRAMENTO, Cal, June 23- California criminals are migrating , eastward to spend the summer months in the exclusive summer re- sorts and hotels of cities on the Atlantic seaboard and middle west.
 This is according to c. s. Morrill,, superintendent of the state bureau of criminal identification, who is the official California observer in things criminal.
 Merrill states that he can check up an what types of offenders are leaving the state by keeping care full watch of the crimes committed the manner of commitment, the loot obtained, etc.
 The state identification expert declares that eastern burglars are less cautious in their movements than native California crooks" The customers shoot off the locks of doors or cabinets they wish to gain entrance to, says Morill, while California providers gently pick" the locks and. as a rule, have far greater success in achieving their objective. Between December and April the majority of the locks are shot off, safes are blowen up, etc., according to Morill. After April the California Tight fingered" variety are found to be at work, and this is the present situation, Morill affirms.
 They've left us for the summer" Merrill declared, but they'll be back by winter as sure as the snow falls in the east. Why? Because these eastern crooks, like all intel ligent beings, prefer California's win ter climate to that of the east. Also because they know the wealthy east 6rners have a similar inclination, which makes California a profitable field

 INVENTION
(By Associated Press)


 GREAT FALLS, Mont, June 23--A high explosive shell capable of car rying 120 miles, it is claimed is being manufactured under the direction of it's inventor, Christian Kaiser of this city. The war department has invit- ed MT. Kaiser to test his invention under the observation of government experts, it is said, and as soon as the shell is completer he will take it east to one of the government proving grounds. If the trial is successful, MT. Kaiser states he is confident that he can increase the distance to 160 and even 180 miles,
 The Great Falls man has worked from a different angle than the krupps, who conceived the gun which carried a shell 70 miles during the late war. Impetus for the Krupp shell was developed in the giant cannon, he says, while his own would receive all but it's initial force in the air. He calls it an automatic compartment shell, the projectile having six automatic compartments which discharge in suc- cession while travelling. The test shell will be S4 inches long, ten inches in diameter and will weigh 17O0 pounds, according to the inventor. It's costs is said to be $2,200.
