 Lieut.. of Detectives Fred Ron of Morris county said that when Miss Brown left the home of her em- ployer, James P. Gillespie. of l1O5 Park avenue. she had with her SS.- 900 in bonds and $l.00O in cash. No bonds or cash were found in the woman's clothing.
 Rolf said Identification had been made by Miss Mary Brown. a sister, of Fort Leo. N. J.. from descrip- tions of the dead woman's clothing. q watch and a scar on the body.
 The detective advanced the theory that the woman had been attacked and robbed in New York and brought to New Jersey in an auto- mobile. The woman. her clothing soaked in gasoline and ablaze, was found by . motorist on the road between Bernardsville and Morri"- town. She died at the All Souls hospital early yesterday.
 At the Gillespie homo it was said that when Miss Brown left their employ she said she was going west to reside
 AdrA Gillespie said Miss Brown had some money with her when she left, but she had no idea 1t was as large an amount as the police reported.
 Nra Gillespie added that Miss Brown had been in her employ for about ten months. Nothing was known of her personal affairs. but MrA Gillespie said she had proven trustworthy and had performed her duties satisfactorily. She had told MrA Gillespie she had been em- pioyed as . governess for about 1o years before going to the Gillespie homo.
 Identification of the woman was established shortly after an autopsy had revealed that death came either from suffocation or burns. Prosecutor Francis Bergen said there was no evidence that the woman had been beaten or drugged.

 Laborers on banana plantations north of the Rio Grande might rise and join the rebel movement with the purpose of footing the commis- sary stores of the Cuyamel Fruit company and the Bragman Bluff Lumber company. it was thought. Many persons on the Caribbean coast, in which direction Sandino is rumored to be heading, are known to be partisans of the Sandino move ment and to be against General Jose Maria Moncada, liberal nominee for the presidency.
 Indian scouts sent out to seek the rebels brought back the report to Bluedelds that Sandino had passed through Pena Blanca. department of Jinotega.
 It was regarded as possible that he might attack either of three points on the coast. cabo Gracias. near the Honduran frontier: Puerto Cabezas or Rio Grande. It was thought . raid on Cabo Gracias was the more likely. since its more CT less isolated position made its the safer port to attack.
 A marine corps scouting plane was fired on about 50 miles north east of Jinotega- The plane was not hit and the pilot reported see ing only four men in the attacking party. It was assumed that these men were followers of Sandino.
 In accepting the presidential nomination. General Moncada strongly approved supervision of the national election next October by the United States as outlined in the stimson agreement. He pointed to Cuba as being made an independ- ent nation through the good offices of the United States and to Porto Rico as enjoying "a free and pros- porous hfe."

Coiffures for Growing Hair.

The girl with long hair and the girl
who Is still wearing a bob find little
difficulty In arranging their hair. 1t is
when ones tresses are in the awkward
in-between stage. neither long nor
short, that the problem of coiffuring
becomes very perplexing. Many of my
readers who are in this predicament
have asked me to publish some sug-
gestions on dressing hair when 1t has
arrived at this stage.
There are two opposite coiffure sill
houettes now in vogue. One presents
the sleek effect behind in imitation of
a shingle, while the other is fluffy, sug-
costing the once popular chignon. The
girl or woman with bold, large fea-
lures should avoid the latter style.
The first couture illustrated is suit
able for girl with average or small
features. well-formed forehead and slen-
der face. The hair is parted on the
right, above the middle Of the right
eyebrow. A small strand of short hair
Is brushed down and spread out in fiat
curls on the forehead. The rest of the
hair is marcelled or water-waved in a
horseshoe effect, twith the hair dipping
down in wave in the center of the
forehead. at each temple and at the
cheek bone. The last wave on each
side comes down in front of the ear,
allowing the lobe and part of the rim
to show from the side and back views.
The ends of the hair form a high mass
of short ringlets at the back. held in
place by long combs or invisible hair
pins.
The opposite extreme in hair dressing
Is exemplif1ed by the second couture
Illustrated above. In place of the fluffy
cluster of curls at the back of the head
the hair is combed smoothly, revealing
the shape of the skull behind. A side
part Is used, as in the other couture,
but long. wavy bangs fall to the eye
brows. This arrangement is becoming
to the face with high forehead and
prominent nose and chin. The part
comes on the left side of the head
The short strand of hair over the left
ear Is waved and the ends curled up
in a roll. The rest of the hair is
brushed around the back of the head
over to the opposite side, where it is

The Future Life.

Out of metaphysical Scotland again
come news headlines concerning the
validity of the belief in a future life
This time a famous Englishman reas-
sures the savantS in science of his well
known tenetS, chief of which is the
fact of post-mortem existence.
Why should this be news? Have not
the masses of men and women the world
over long since transformed the hope
of future existence into solid belief?
There must be some other reason why
this transatlantic uproar makes its APP
peal to the press and through it to the
people.
Perhaps the late war guns are still
rumbling in the philosophical ears of
those men and nations who happened
to be close to the scene of carnage.
During the war many people had their
doubts about the old verities of religion.
So it may be that we still have a work.
aday psychology of war.
On the other hand, this may be an
other attempt to harmonic the me-
chanics of science with the philosophy
of religion. If so, it will be worth all
the publicity given it, for at bottom
these two domains of everyday living
are not at odds Some scientists, per-
haps, stand afraid of the meaning of
their investigations, and would gladly
take a hand in the promotion of con-
sentative thought and faith.
However you explain the news"
there does seem to be reason for the
belief in a future existence. Super
naturalism was the first of the sciences.
1t was and still is mans attempt to ex-
plain himself. Naturalism or science is
only its modern edition, modified here
and there by the imagination of men.
So it comes that every now and then
there is felt need for publicity about
cotemporary decisions and conclusions
about a future existence.
The most important fact emerging
| from this Scotland news is the fact
that the minds of men are holding fast
to the essentials of the science of SUI
pernaturalism, to which experiments
and investigation have as yet made no
solid contributions. If any fundamental
| changes take place in the belief about
existence after DEATH they will only
come when human experience and in
vestigation outweigh human magma
ton. This is extremely unlikely, for
| the unseen and the unknown seem to
withdraw as fast as pure science makes
inroads upon them. Where knowledge
leaves of, imagination sets In and for
mulates solution.

In the meantime. the proprietor
rushed to the door to discover. if pos
sible. what all the commotion was
about. When the clerk returned and
explained that the customer had paid
only cents for a 6-cent article. the
owner Of the establishment exploded a
few words OF advice.
Never do such a thing again." he
said. IT would rather lose q penny
than the good will of regular GUS
toner. who during the course of a
year. spends many dollars here. Re-
member that tact is one of the essential
foundations Of a successful business.
That man. perhaps, thinks that We
are under the impression that he tried
to short-change us. An apology will
not be Of any use and may even make
matters worse. Had he underpaid us
a dollar, would have preferred taking
the loss to losing his patronage"
Undoubtedly the lad learned q lesson
he will not soon forget.
A merchant told us that not long
ago, customer ordered a certain gown
to be sent to her home on approval. A
few days later it was returned. Obvi-
ouSly 1t had been worn in the mean
time, and the merchant would have
been justified in making the claim and
submitting a bill for 1t. The woman
had not only been customer of long
standing but was well connected. In
stead of offending her. he accepted the
return of the gown without comment,
and since that time has sold her many
items Of greater value.

the early years of life. This notion
about learning is matter that needs
modification. Perhaps this idea was
| easy to get, because it fits we'll into the
traditions of mass education. School
days and learning days are ordinarily
taken to be one and the same. Or per-
haps it is born of the doubtful truth
that the mind is plastic in youth and
becomes rigid with the passing years.
So far as recent experiments can
| tell, there seems to be no one best
time to learn. School days mean
nothing Elasticity is not an estab-
lished fact There Is a lot of expert
mental evidence tending to show that
an adult can learn foreign language
as readily as can the boy or girl in the
teens. The same applies to all sorts
of trades. When the New York Central
Railroad electrified its trains out of
New York City 1t found, to its happy
surprise, that the old steam engineers
learned to be electrical engineers quite
as readily as younger men.
When is the best time to learn? The
answer is very simple and definite
The best time to learn is the time when
you want to learn. Necessity does a
lot of debating in all matters of learn
ing. Age differences can be ignored
for all practical purposes. You can
learn almost anything when you want
to.
If this new knowledge about the best
time to learn could somehow sink into
the minds of the public, 1t might pre-
vent good many occupational de-
feats. Up and down the country you
will find many employers prematurely
retiring good men because they are
too old to learn" The strange thing
about it all is that employees them
selves come to believe this mistaken
notion. And so ambition is often cut
metal.
These popular notions about the best
! time to learn and the time to quit try
ing to learn are very generally great
oversights.

However, children who have the correct

it is important that your children play

The ultraviolet rays of the sun,
which are necessary to prevent ricketts,,
are filtered out through the ordinary

now on the market which do permit
about 10 per cent of the rays to pene-
