sort of step-in. in which to step out.
Another is n swanky suit for week
ends, heavily padded with quilt satin
for reasons probably best known to
thirsty week-enders. The third is a
golf umbrella" The latter has n
handle cunningly contrived so that it
looks like the head of a golf stick
and easily can be slipped into bag
without being distinguished from the
clubs.
Why. you might ask. should the UNI
brella be disguised? Because. dear sir.
to a gentleman of this season an UNI
brella. like his suspenders, must be
hidden although possibly a necessity.
One more item possibly of note. this
is the only fashion display in the
world in which there is not a trace OF
the Egyptian influence.

MER ROUGE TORTURE MACHINE

said. had been drained of blood, indi-
eating that virtually all of the fluid
had escaped from the bodies.
About three miles from Bastrop is
huge tractor used to pull n road
scraper. The iron wheels are seven
or eight feet in diameter, while their
rims have a width of approximately
three feet. Riyeted to the rims to
prevent the wheels from slipping in
soft earth, are steel cleats, running
the width of the wheels and about fiji
teen inches apart.
Machines Pushed Over Them.
The bodies apparently had been
stretched full length when they were
mutilated with the arms brought above
the head. Fractures of the forearms
were on a level with the heads and
those who assert the bodies must have
been broken with tractor believe they
were stretched on the ground and the
machine run or pushed over them.
Such a machine as the one near
here, it is contended. would inflict
such injuries, the heavy cleats on the
wide wheels fracturing the arm and
leg bones, crushing the heads and
chests and severing completely the
hands and feet at the wrists and just
above the ankles.

received anonymous letters from plan

Daniel was forced to submit to an
operation, and those who have deter
mined upon a possible motive for the
mutilatiOn believe that he bled TO
death. or that his captors realized he
would succumb. Having blood on
their hands, it either was determined
to make away with Richard, as he
might have recognized one or more
members of the band. or Richard might
have broken his bonds and, during an
attempt to go to the assistance of
Daniel, was killed.
With two men dead or dying it be-
came necessary for the slayers to hide
the bodies and do something to make

Federal and state officers, troops.
and newspaper men for weeks searched
every nook and corner of the parish

chamber today by Minister of Marine
Raiberti with the remark that the pro-

work of the Washington accoris, so
that the government cannot give
stronger proof of its intention to OBJ

"The program" continued the minis
ter, does not fix the number of units.
as that may vary with the needs of
the national defense, but it fixes the
tonnage for each category.
For battleships it provides for 49,
600 tons but the preamble explains
that the government has no intention
of constructing to that extent at pres
emf, for these reasons:
First The type of capital ship has
not been settled upon: second, the fleet
must be in accor1 with our financial
means, and France has not the means
to construct fleet of capital ships
and fleet of light units.

New York. March S.-Harry V.
. Dougherty, member of detective
agency which specializes in furnishing
labor to industrial concerns, has given
up his hope of helping France exploit
the coal mines of the Ruhr through
The medium of American negroes.
Dougherty announced upon his arrl-
val on the steamship Majestic yester-
day that he would transport from
$500 to 5000 negro miners to the
RuhT.
Today he said he had dropped the
plan because he had learned since
mis- arrival that. instead of thousands
of negroes eager for the jobs. he could
not find 100 who were willing 10 ac-

no good as mine workers, that they

Social Cliques Harmful

One great trouble with country
towns is the fact that many Of them
are burdened with social cliques, and
anyone not a member Of one Of the
cliques is left stranded-high and
dry.
This doesn't do town any good.
Instead, it does any community a lot
of harm through the creation of So
cial friction and jealousy and hard
feelings.
A good way TO overcome much OF
this detrimental influence would be
to hold a Get Together" meeting
about once each month. 1t could be
given in whatever way the people
most desired, and everybody could get
acquainted with everybody else.
We might try it ont in this town
with good results. Even if it didn't
do anything else, we weuld all have
an enjoyable evening ng-something that
makes life sweeter and more worth
living.

Il. IL. Caraway here tonight. Sena-
tor Caraway was speaking at the dedi-

treaty sought political advantages
and had thrown away the victory and
left the world wrecked" He paid a
