them is now in the death-hOuSe at
Sing Sing awaiting execution.
Varotta saved every penny possible
for many months, enough to make a
deposit on a monument for the grave
Of his son. This will bear a portrait
Of the boy and this inscription:
Here lies the remains of Giuseppe
Voretta, five-year-old boy killed by
the Black Hand He was kidnapped by
the Black Hand on May "a, 1921, and
his body was found in the Hudson
river, off Piermont, on June II, 1921
Erected by his father"
Nobody but me and my wife knew
Of the monument, we thought" said
Varotta, "but the Black Hand found
1t out. A man came to my pushstand
and said: You mustn't do that, Va
rotta. You'll get hurt, Varotta; youu
get killed"
"Then the man ran away before
could call the policeman, who stands
near my pushcart all day"

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
GOOD FORM IN DRESS

VOU may have read recently Of a
= clergyman who sent u bride home
from church because of what he con-
sidered the immodesty of her dress,
and another well known divine as
sured the women of his parish that he
would have them refused admittance
to church, if they came clad in the
extremes of fashion.
Whether the styles of dress thai
these priests referred to were actually
immodest doubtless depends on the
point of view. But that they were map
propriate to church is unquestionable.
To be dressed always In good taste
does not necessarily mean that you
must never indulge in the more ex-
IRENE forms of the fashion, but that
you should wear them never where
they might give offense For instance
it is now in most localities perfectly
customary for women young and old
to wear low necks and short sleeves
at evening entertainments In fact in
this country young, unmarried girls
habitually wear lower evening gowns
than their mOthers-though among
well bred French women, unmarried
girls are not so privileged.
Now since this is customary 1t Is not
In bad taste, because it attracts no
undue attention and causes no mis-
Judgment.
The same thing holds true in regard
to bathing costumes. Had women
worn the sort Of bathing suits that
they do now ten or twenty years ago,
they would have been hooted of the
beaches. But times have changed and
our bathing costumes have changed
most emphatically. 1t does not mean
that we have grown more lax. J,oubt-
less the tightly laced, exaggerated
figure of two decades ago would give
more olfense to the modern taste than
the rather abbreviated bathing COS.
tunes. 1t is all question of what we
ire used to.

MOVIES FLOURISH IN BRITAIN
English Producers Speed Up Efforts
to Combat American Film
Market

LOndon.-General Improvement in
Great Britain : film industry is claimed
by moving picture makers, referred to
N England as cinema producers.
Four years ago 96 per cent of the,
tIlms shown Ia the United Kingdom
we're of American manufacture. The
figure now has dropped to approx
mately - per cent and British pro
ducers are confident home made films
will come into their own.
While Illuminating in England still
is In its industrial infancy, invest
ments in the work are Increasing. 1t
is estimated that f5000,O00 (normal
value $25,000,000) is invested in the
cinema industry, with between $1,000
no and f3.000,000 in production.

lost his life, took place near Guam

Lieut.. Il. o. Sanderson, flying near

as to break the brace and the eagles
neck. The bird then was caught In
the braces of the plane. The eagle
measured seven feet between the
