AURORA, ILL.,, January 15.-John
Lincoln. twenty-year-old son Of War
ren Lincoln, lawyer and horticultur-
ist, who confessed having killed his
wife and cremating her body, with
that Of her brother. Byron Shoup, a
year ago, was released early today
after brief informal questioning.
The youth was interrogated concern
ing his fathers actions between the
time of the Staying, January 10, and
the date of his disappearance some
three months later. but was unable TO
add to the story given in his fathers
confession.
Kane county authorities, who are
preparing to charge the elder Lincoln
with double murder, have advanced
the theory that he had an accomplice.
In his confession LINCOLN said he
killed his wife after she had slain her
brother.
The son, a taxicab driver, told au-
thorities he had spent four days in
January, 1928, with his father and
slept in the greenhouse. where the
father says he burned the bodies in
the furnace. The son said he did not
see the bodies nor witness any Gre
nation. He said he believed his fa-
ther insane and his confession impos-
sible and worthless.
Basis for the theory that Lincoln
had an accomplice was founded by
a. j. Wirz, detective chief, on his
slight physical build and poor health,
while Mrs. Lincoln weighed more than
200 pounds.

At this, the Ma gioian gave the polieeman's red whis- kers a very hard yank, for he expected them to come off. Instead, he jerked so hard, the polieeman's hat rolled off and into the house.

Common Sense Is Important In
 Feeding Child
sv EntLIe HOFFMAN,

We have to deny ourselves in our meals on account of the children" re- marked a mother. We are very anx- ious to bring them up right, so we re- strict their diet" It is quite obvious that this misguided mother has a rather distorted idea of right bring ing ur."
 Naturally, a discussion followed the remark. and it ended with her decisive statement: "No child of mine shall ever be refused any food at my table" This foolish mother really deprives her adult family members of all foods pro- hibited to the children who have reached the age that entities them to place at the family table.
 Anoher mother in the party lamented the fact that they have many stormy scenes a the table because the children keep ceaxing" for the foods denied them. 1t always ends in my giving them just a little to gratify them, I know the food is not good for them, hut I haven't the heart to refuse them, But I certainly would not curtail my fam | fly menus just because the children cannot eat the food, That is foolish"
 We probably agree that this mothers pan .AH NAktc aA luutAnu do tHC ouc pHC refers to.
 Would it not be more pleasant to teach child that age makes a differ ence, and that q child requires quite a different diet from that of the adult? This may easily be accomplished. Children who have their meals served without any comments OR the food rare ly pay any attention to what the rest of the family are eating.
 At an afternoon gathering the guests were astonished that the three year.old daughter of the family did not fuss when refreshments were served, al- though she was entirely overlooked, and when candy was passed around and one of the guests asked the child whether she wanted some, there was a murmur of surprise when the little miss replied T am not yet 10 years old, So l can't eat candy" The child's at, titude indicated no resentment. She had been properly trained. She under stood age differences and accepted the limitations as matter of course. The mother who teaches her bahy this will have taught d valuable lesson in self control.

TREND OF FASHION
ss HELEN MERsllL eMeRv

E The vogue for stripes is no doubt responsible for the return of Ro- man ribbons, which this spring ap- pear in a wide range of color con trasts and harmonies. From the narrow ,nch-wide ribbon to those that measure eight and ten inches across they are conspicuously fea- tured and are used in various ways.
 On some the stripes run cross wise, others show them extending the entire length of the piece of iib- bon.
 As trimming for sport hats of felt or tagal straw they are in great demand and are most effective.
 The liking for stripes Is also no- ticeable in the ornamentation of frocks and coats. Here, too, the tendency to suggest the broken stripes always characteristic of Ro- man silks aNd ribbons is quite evi- dent,
 Every one who has been in cer- tain parts of Italy where the peas- ant costume is still worn remembers the gay little aprons with woven stripes of color that add such picturesque note. It is this apron that undoubtedly has suggested the idea of trimming on the frock sketched. Like so many of newest models this is a straight slim dress of new black satin finished crepe that has a tiny rib running through it's surface. The apron, which ex- tends only across the front, Is com posed of alternate rows of powder blue, black and white. The wide band at the top is blue, then comes 3 narrow width of black joined to which is one of blue, Below this a wide blue band tips one of white. The effect is striking and extremely smart, This combination of colors is repeated in a small collar made of folds of crepe one over the other. Completing the costume is circu- lar cape of the silk which has a straight collar of white coney.
