WILL" Words in Note,
Offer Only Clue.
BY the Associated Press.


PHILADELPHIA, August IA note
reading, eff I can't have you, no one

clue the police had to work on today in
trying to solve the death of Miss Mary
Frances Morgan, 10, who was found In
her Narberth home, yesterday, strapped
to a chair near a gas range with opened
Jets.
The girl died few minutes after she
was found unconscious by her mother,
Mrs. Clarence Morgan.
Shortly after her death Maximillian
Hebrank, a neighbor, discovered the
note lying on the kitchen table, just
back Of where the girl was found. He
said it was signed with the initials
'P. p"
Mrs. Morgan told police she knew no
one with the initials "P. R." and that,
as far as she knew, her daughter had
no love affairs.
Mrs. Robert Thompson, who lives d.
rectly across the street from the Nor
gan home, told police she saw a we'll
dressed young man drive up to the
Morgan house about 4:30 pm, Friday,
in a dark colored coupe and enter the
house with a brief case. The girl was
found unconscious at $50 pm.
Police now are seeking the young
man reported seen by Mrs. Thompson.

SUGGESTS USES FOR
NEW COTTON FABRICS

.Never have our cotton goods de-
partment offered greater variety of
fabrics than this season." says Miss
Caroline B. Little, textiles and cloth
ing instructor of the home economics
division at University Farm, ST. Paul.
"'Cotton is King and as such has ar
rayed itself in royal attire. Color
in most interesting designs attracts
our attention, while many of the new
fabrics have special finishes which
make them waterproof"
Rubberized print may be used in
most attractive smocks and aprons,
Miss Little says, while another rub
berized material will be used for
porch pillows. Glazed chintz and fab
racoid will make luncheon sets for
the summer table that can be easily
cleaned by wiping with damp cloth.
A light weight material, in lovely
soft colors, has proven valuable
material for shower and bathroom cur
tains. No need now to have ugly
water line on your shower curtains,
for this material is not only water
proof but can be washed and ironed
without harming its finish.

FARM LABOR SLIGHTLY
HIGHER THAN YEAR AGO

With an average demand prevail
ing. wages for farm labor in Mime
sofa are slightly higher than they
were one year ago, according to re-
ports from all sections of the state
compiled by Secretary ]. S. Jones OF
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
ton at ST. Paul. =,
Figures assembled during April
show that the average day wage for
farm hands is $40 per day, COM
pared with S2.13 one year ago and
$2.02 in April 1927. Average month
ly wages for general work are S44.50,
compared with $4362 one year ago
and S43.5O in April and May 1927.
The average monthly wage on an
eight-months' basis is $47.60 this year
as against $4S.S2 one year ago and
S48 on May 1, 1927.
This recession is explained in the
main by labor available from the in
dustrial field, released by the closing
of some factories, and which is go
ing onto the farms for steady en-
ployment.
In practically all counties reporting,
the local labor supply is sufficient for
the seasonal work offered.
