PROPOSED MASSACRE
BY CANADIAN SECT
TERMED THEORETICAL

NELSON, B. c., Feb. 27.-The Douk-
hobours of Canada, otherwise known
as the Christian community of uni
versal brotherhood, merely expressed
a theoretical advocacy of massacre of
their children and aged, according to
the explanation now offered by Peter
Veregin, president of the band, in a
letter to the Daily News here. In
his letter he expresses some alarm at
the apparent indignation of Canadians
over the announcement of the sect
some days ago that the members were
contemplating migration to escape
taxation, in which event it might be
found necessary to kill off children
and aged persons who impeded the
progress of the wanderers.
After apologiZing to the Canadian
public. particularly the women, the
Doukhobour chieftain explains that
the children of the colony are on the
verge of starvation, being deprived OF
milk through the forced sale of cows
in 1920 for the payment of taxes. He
protests against income tax collec
lions totalling $4,000 claiming earn
| ings of individual members to be
within exemption limits.
The letter concludes with plea fo1
official inquiry to the end that the
Doukhobours be reimbursed for the
roads they have built, and asks for
| $50 900 loan to be spent in irrigation

.FLAYS KEEPING OF
INSANE IN JAILS;
ONE CASE IN WAYNE

The practice OF keeping insane per
sons in the county jails is "reproach
to the state" declared Amos G. But
Ter in a report of the state board of
charities issued Saturday. Butler is
secretary of the board.
During the year ending Sept. 30,
1921" said Mr.. Butler. there were $40
insane persons in the county jails OF
Indiana There were fifty-nine pres
ent the last day of 1921. Some Of
these are chronic cases for whom I'M
der present conditions there is no
hope of state care. One is an insane
epileptic woman who has been in the
woman's jail at the Home for Friend
less in Wayne county, since April 80,
1914. There are three who have been
in county jails since 1917. two since
1918. and two since 1919. The remsin-
ing number were admitted since Jan.
/, 1921"
The case referred to by Mr. Butler
is believed by Wayne county officials
to be that of Eva Platt, formerly of
Winchester, who has been a ward OF
this county for several years.
This county is in need of some
thing more than has been provided in
the past for such cases." said an off
cial commenting on the report Mon

provide such a place at the county in.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND
CANNOT find PASTORS
TO FILL ITS PULPITS
fRy Associated Press,

LONDON. Feb. 27.-The Bishop OF
Durham says the Church of England
cannot find ministers enough to fill its
pulpits. The number of men annually
ordained since the war has been less
than onethird of those annually or
dained before the war.
Because of the poverty to which so
many of the clergy have been re-
duced by the war, many parents have
ceased to regard the church as pro-
viding desirable careers for their sons.
There are 1000 fewer clergy work
ing in the parishes of England than in
1914.
IL the church were to meet its re-
quirements, the Bishop said, 1t would
have to make way for democracy. The
last vestige of caste and class distinc
ton should disappear from the min
istry and ordination should be as open
to the sons of the artisan as of the
squire.

EGG PRESERVERS MAY
OBTAIN MACHINE TO
FACILITATE PROCESS

EGG preservers, great and small,
need not complain over the trials
Of dipping eggs. Appearing on the
market there are a great many so
lutions for preserving eggs for six
or eight months, not by the process
of keeping the eggs immersed con
Istantly as in water glass" but OF
dipping them for several minutes
lin solutions which hermetically
seal them. Along with these So
Ilutions electrically run devices are
used, as egg weighers, conveyors
land Counters..e
Baskets containing eggs swing
from moving chains which let each
basket down at intervals into q
small tank of the preserving Chin
Iical. AS the baskets slowly travel
underneath the machine, the lower
part of it forms a shelf upon which
the eggs drip, the surplus fluid rum
ming off the shelf into a receptacle
below. These larger machines are
run by a small motor and can dip
several thousand eggs an hour.
There is a mailer duplicate of
this large machine shown which
can be attached to the home cleo
trio circuit only one or two small
egg baskets being used. This is a
useful device for the housewife who
wishes to buy up fresh eggs from
her country friends when they are
cheap and insure her household
against a shortage or the danger of
buying stale eggs in the winter.

If you would be fashionable try
to look like a pencil in your newest
frock. This effect may be obtained
by diet, exercise or a gown built
on the right lines and in the right
material. The simplest method, Of
course, is the gown. 1t is much
easier to buy a slenderizing gown
than to exercise. Here is an after
| noon frock which is scarcely more
than pencil-like in its proportions.
A narrower skirt was never seen in
the old days of hobbies. Yet with
its extremely slender lines it is in
no way a bizarre or fantastic crca-
ton.
Indeed 1t is quite unobtrusive in
its effect although braided in an
lall-over design in white. The ma
terial of the frock is black creton
crepe and the white braiding is re-
miniscent of an oriental design.
White piping is an interesting
touch and a black sash of satin
faced crepe hangs in draped folds
from the waist at the side front.
1t is held in place by an ornament
of white silk braid and tassels.
A smart black crepe hat with
white button ornaments and n sill
yer fox fur completes the costume.

A N unusual fabric design calls
"A for a distinctive arrangement
Of line, both of which are evident
in this cretonne or printed dress of
yellow, brown, and black.
Conspicuous designs do not bear
much cutting up" or decoration,
hence the unbroken line from neck
to hem and the lnconsplcuous fac
ing used in finishing the neck,
sleeve, and side front edges. A
deep tuck Is used at the side skirt
to give weight and to intensity
Zine" at this point.
If material Of less prominent
design is used for this type OF
dress, a black ribbon binding may
be used to finish the neck, side
waist, front, and sleeves.
The chief interest Is centered
at the side, where the black velvet
sash holds the side belt in position
This sash extends from the right
side seam at the waist line across
the back and around to the left
side back, where a loose, dropping
bow Is made.
The hat Is black with a long
right side and Is ornamented on
the left with smart yellow coqus
pompon that harmonizes with the
tone Of yellow in the dress.
