an attorney. is in q serious condition

shot down on the street late last
night.
Police are searching for Frank
Cotton, alleged to have fired five
shots into the woman and attorney
when he met them. because, police
say, of a fit Of jealousy.
Friends of Miss Hurst say she had
quarreled with Cotton, who Is well
known locally. and when Cotton met
her last night, he opened fire with
this warning: You can't play with
me-"
.Reavis, who also operates a delica-
lessen near the scene of the tragedy,
told International News Service he
was in his store when the first shots
we're fired and ran to the sidewalk to
investigate.

Then Cotton opened fire directly at
me, one bullet entering the lower alb:

anxious to tell his story. A married
man, about fifty years old, he denied
emphatically he had any connection

BY ALICE LANGEL1ER,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

PARIS, Aug. 29.-Simple. youthful
lines are scheduled to continue over
into early winter. Fashionable Paris
designers who have-just begun to
show their fall models say that the
women like what has been dealt out
to them in the fashion line this past
season and they think 1t unwise to
change, or at least for the present
moment.
Skirts on evening gowns are some
what longer and more draped than
those Of last season, but still not
draped enough to lose their long.
slender lines.
The Miller Soeurs are displaying a
lovely model of royal blue crepe,
which shows the new skirt length
just scraping the ankles and an in
creasing tendency toward long. slim
draperies. It has no trimming other
than the belt, which Is made Of a
series of small velvet leaves, each
one lined with crepe. The sleeves
are mere cape-like wings brought
across the back and hanging from
the shoulder. Sleeves and neck trim
mings all have trick Of looking like
a cape these days. The real cape It.
self is fast dying, so rumor has 1t.
The waist.line Is a trifle higher
but still fi6t normal. After all, the
difference in these details is so very
slight that any woman will have diff
ficulty in finding a good excuse for
not donning her last years gown

TO EAT MOSQUITOES

GULFPORT, Miss, Aug. 2s.-Vir'
tually every phonograph in Gulfport
is grinding out jazz. The object is
to stir the bats abroad so they will
eat up the mosquitoes. The bats are
being colonized in specially construct
ed belfries, but they are apparently
Martial to their accustomed attics
and other places.
It has been found that the only
way to oust them permanently is to
play jazz in the early hours OF the
morning. Once a bat hears jazz
record he never returns, 1t is de-
clared.
The bat.house near the Gulfport
pier has just been completed and
special jazzy efforts are being put
forth to get the bats to enter It.
Plans have been made for the erec.
ton Of others. No jazz Is permitted
near the bat-houses.
