HORSE THIEVES SCARCE,
so VlCILANTS DISBAND

MANTUA, n. j., Feb. 23-After
being in existance for fsfty-five
years, the Mantua Mutual Protect
i've Association, organized originally
to protect members from horse
thieves. has disbanded, as horse
thieves have become rare since
the advent of the automobile. The
last reward paid was for the cap
ture of a thief who stole the horse
of Jacob Tomlin, of Jefferson, last
summer.
During the long existence the
protective association gained wide
reputation that finally scared horse
thieves out of this region. Most
of the members have considered
themselves too advanced in years
to now take over the more strenu-
Gus task of chasing the modern
automobile thief. Funds left in
the treasury have been distributed
among seventeen surviving mem
bers. DIR. E. z. Hillegrass was
president of the association; Frank
Care, vice president, and Thomas
J. Stratton, treasurer.

NEW SPRING
GOWNS
Flounces, PIeating, Aprons,

PARIS, Feb. 23.-The skirt is
the important part of the spring

Bodices. and. for the most part,
sleeves, are to pass unobserved in
the general silhouette, the skirt
alone attracting attention. In
order to give it the appearance of
greater width and still keep the
slender. silhouette, designers today
are putting on flounces and pleated
aprons and tunics which are youth
full and graceful.

flounce at the side Of a charming

Doeuillet uses many pleated apron
fronts which are rounded to re.

resembles for all the world that

other filmy lace gown has two OF

solid black, save for the handsome
gold bead belt. It's irregular hem

! -Four. distinct tendencies which

full Of dangers were pointed out by
DR.. Pollard as problems which: must
be dealt. with by education OF the

is formed. s
DIR. Pollard urged the sixty four

thoroughly with the theory and
