BOSTON, Oct. Positive identified
ton was made last night of the woman
who was found stranglcd to death in
a lodging house at 34l West 22d street.
New York, Wednesday night, as
Margaret TownsIld, % years old, of
49, Putnam avenue, Cambridge. 1t
was also developed that she was
chlorofOrmed before she was stran-
gled to death. Circumstances leading
up to her fate still remain a mystery.
The Identification was made by the
girl's brother, Harry L. Townsend, and
all theories that the girl committed
suicide to avoid disgrace were blasted
by the report of the physicians who ex-
amined the body who had declared that
the young woman had been chloroform-
ed before being strangled.
Margaret Townsend left home on
July II to take position with a family
known only as Harris and whose ad-
dress was given as Everett avenue and
CUSHING street, Dorchester. Since that
time the girl has not heen seen by her
friends or relatives and only occasional
letters gave them any clue TO her where
abouts.

ALUMINIUM TO REPLACE WOOD
lncreased Production of the Metal VIII Relieve Drain Upon the Coun-
 trys Vanishing Forests.

One of the greatest consumers Of wood Is the shipping box. For this purpose no fewer than 100000 cords were used last year. Viewed from any standpoint, 1t is a gigantic craft upon our forest resources.
 Unquestionably before long metal will largely take the place of wood for the making of shipping cases. Which means, of course, aluminium, or an al- Toy thereof. Aluminium, relatively speaking, is & cheap metal now, but 1t is destined to be vastly cheaper.
 When one considers that aluminium constitutes more than per cent of the entire crust of the earth, Ii seems ab- surd that there should be lack of it for any and all purposes useful to man. kind.
 The next generation may live in apartment houses built wholly of alu- minum and travel In aluminium trains and steamships. But the matter of most immediate importance Is the re- lief which cheap aluminium may give to the drain upon our vanishing for eSts.

COMBINE ART WITH MOVIES"
How City of Toledo, O., Attracts Children to Its Museum, for
 Educational Purposes.

In order to attract the children oI Toledo to that city's museum of art the museum management offers its lit tie visitors ''story hours, gallery talks. music hours, classes in pure and applied design and the educational motion picture. Interest in visits 10 the museum was first stimulated through the medium of an organized bird club. Thousands of children have also been brought to the museum during the last four years by means of the annual vegetable and flower shows in which the children have participated.
 The Toledo museum was the first to include motion pictures In its edu- cational plan when, in the autumn or 1915. the necessary equipment was presented through the efforts of Ii. Y. Barnes, then assistant to the d. rector" writes Eula Lee Anderson of Toledo. "This proved not only fur ther magnet to attract boys and girls to the museum but a further means of teaching art. During the first few years films dealing with travel. crafts and art were difficult to secure, yet by diligent search many fine things were made available, including the life of Palissy. the famous potter, and beautiful hand-colored film showing the making of silk.
 "Tae policy of the museum is not to amnse by means of tine finn, but 10 educate the child along artistic lines using only such productions as are of distinctly cultural quality.

Only.

Special Correspondence of Every Evening,
Middlctown, May Middletown
will be represented by a big team on
the diamond this season. This decision
was reached by officials of the Middle
town \. A.. nj a meeting held recently.
The announcement had been previously
made that owing TO lack of funds the
team would be disbanded and that sno
effort would be made to place a team
on the field.
This announcement, however, Great
cd such a storm of protest among local
fans, that the officials were forced to
reconsider their decision and to cali n
meeting Of the association. At this
meeting two of the more enthusiastic
supporters of the team, James Moore
and J. Lemont Jones volunteered to
solicit funds and to make an effort TO
put the club on its feet.
The efforts of these two young men
resulted in a handsome sum being con-
trinuted by local fans which is suf-
iicient 10 keep a team playing all sea-
son. and with the gate receipts will help
20 round out successful season.
There is no lack of playing material
for the local club and if the candidates
should show as well in their games as
they do in practice, Middletown will
have a fast team Of young home play
,rs. II is the intention of the manage
ment 10 play only Middletown boys
this season and to forget the old policy
Of hiring outside players to bolster
supposed weak spots
From all indications there should be
no weak spots on this team as almost
all OF the positions are well fortified
with the exception of the pitching staff.
