million dollars more income tax, had

DISPATCHES from Boston describe
triple judicial killing in CharlestoWn
State Prison, just after midnight yes
terday. Three young men passed
from the electric chair to another des-
tination for clubbing an old night
watchman to death.
Edward H. Heinlein was first to 60
AS he walked to the electric char,
repeating the words of prayer by
the Reverend Father Michael j. Muir
nhv. great crowds gathered outside,
automobile horns were booming, pho
tographer's flashlights lighted up the
crowd. And at the rear exit from
the prison another crowd was waiting
TO see the three bodies carried out. A
special police force was obliged TO
fight the deeply interested crowd.
Crowds that howled around the
French guillotine, or that tilted up
their gin bottles as they shouted en-
eo,,ragem to murderers on the
British gallows, were not entirely
different from human beings OF TO-
day.
Authorities in Braunschweig prov
ince learn that when religion involves
extra taxes many Germans get along

Registering you as the member OF

pay taxes to the state, and the money
then goes to the churches. Braun
schweig has been obliged to employ
additional clerks to register those that

ligious faith"
Dentists warn women that exces'

Disease also called "Trench mouth.
This disease which attacked soldiers

However, if women want to smoke
dentists won't stop them. This writer
tried in vain, twenty-five years ago
by warning women that smoking
makes their noses red, and makes
their moustaches grow. Still the!
wouldn't stop.

days Of summer have arrived.
The sleeveless sports frock is out
standing among French outdoor cos
tunes. The model shown here to the
left makes sleeves conspicuous by
their absence. AS is so fashionable
this season this two-piece dress is
Of white flannel, the necessary touch
Of color" achieved with handsome
peasant embroidery.
The large rose designs noted in each
Of the chiffon garden-party frocks,
here shown, compete for favor with
the little figured effects, which have
been so exploited this season.
Practical and adaptable to midsea-
son wear is the short cape-and-blouse
costume which has either a separate
or an attached sleeveless blouse. For
street wear these youthful looking
cape suits are developed either Of fine
novelty wooden checks or Of satin or
crepe.
These sleeveless daytime frOckS
which have a cape to match are idea
for early autumn when cool breezes
struggle for supremacy with depart
ing summer sunglOw. Then, too, with
out the cape, one is charmingly attired
for afternoon bridge or five o'clock
tea. With the cape, perfect street
apparel Is achieved.

A S TO the sleeveless mode, Paris
4 N fashionists come out strong for
it now that midsummer is here Quite
interesting this, when one recalls how
at the beginning of the season long
sleeves seemed inevitable. However,
at present writing, the French styIist
relents and says: Take your choice"
1t is this very experimentation Of
creative genius which always has and
always will lend zest to the mode.
AS to the at-this-moment vogue for
the sleeveless type, there is no half
way road to modishness-either a
frock is uncompromisingly sleeved to
the wrist Or else it is boldly minus q
sleeve.
Three typically French summer
gowns are shown in this picture pho

to attract in the costuming Of the fig

to be fashionable, one just must wear
