ders or other cosmetic preparations
which for so long have occupied first
place in every society woman's
boudoir.
The color doctors or scientific
blenders of hues will set the pace
for the dressmakers and women's tai
lors. Every woman becomes abso-
lutte mistress of her appearance at
all times by means of the harmonious
combinations, or groups of colors, ar
ranged by order of the experts who
have visions of revolutionizing the
dry goods business everywhere there

One or two visits to the color ex-
perts are necessary, on which acca-

complexion measured" and recorded.
After the sittings the customer is
given a prescription detailing the
various systematic arrangements of
colors in silks and other goods to
match her complexion on every oc-
casion. These prescriptions. which
serve as guides for the dressmaker.

applied, can and will produce almost

This is the official finding of Cor

cation of Canton's second girl muir
der mystery within less than a month.
This is one of the rarer causes of
death and is not commonly known,

being placed in the water and her
clothes were weighted down with

The coroner in his finding saws
on lonely road west of this city on
January 2, met death in the same
manner.
The striking similarity in the
hunter ana NlCZHan cases are both
commented upon by Dr. Shorb, who
points out that, 1.-The marks on each
body are very much the same, the
scratches and bruises showing that
both girls put forth all the resist

In summing up his report Dr. Shorb
adds in further comparison of the
two cases that both girls were me-

hair. both wore the same type of
small round hat which closely fits
the head, both wore the same color

FLYERS RIGHT TO AIR
UPHELD BY COURT
Property Owner Loses Damage
Suit Growing Out of
Forced Landing.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, February 2.-The old
common-law maxim, 'whose the soil
is. his 1t is from the heavens to the
depths of the EARTH" was overruled in
a decision by Judge John c. Michael,
of the district court of Minnesota, In
a suit for damages brought by To-
cal property owner after an airplane
made a forced landing on his prop
erty. The plaintiff sought also to
enjoin the defendant from flying over
his property regardless of the alti-
tude of such flights.
THE upper air is a natural heritage
common to all of the people and its
reasonable use ought not to be ham,
pered by an ancient artificial maxim
of law" the judge declared.
Held Important Decision.
The decision is regarded as of great
Importance. according to L. X. Bell.
secretary of the Aeronautical Cham
Der of Commerce, which represents
some 1900 commercial aircraft oper-
ators in the United States. 1t may
be interpreted as a specific declara-
ton of the freedom of the air where
~
without being guilty of tresspass, he
said.
Condemnation of air lanes is not
feasible because aircraft can not ad
here strictly to a defined course.
Judge Michaers decision said. THE
air, so far as it has any direct rela-
ton to the comfort and enjoyment
of the land, is appurtenant to the
land. but to contend that it is part
of the realty, as affecting the right
of air navigation, is only a legal fic-
ton, devoid of substantial merit"
Judge Michael said that while
there was some danger to persons
and property from aircraft, accidents
were infrequent and this hazard is
infinitely less than encountered in
every walk of life from various other
causes"
While granting the plaintiff dam
ages, the Judge, In refusing the in
junction, said that modern progress
and great public interest should not
be blocked by unnecessary legal re-
f1nements.
