Eight at Annapolis Insti-
tuition Escape.

One Of the two boys about whom an
investigation into the use Of iron leg
shackles at the National Training School
for Boys was started last week led i've
other boys in an escape from the school
last night.
Otto Garell vlk, who was recently
kept In the irons for SO days following
an escape attempt, today was described

The wholesale break occurred about
the same time as break from the Dis

Washington institution, in which five
boys and three girls escaped.
Descriptions Of all Is Of the missing
boys and girls have been supplied Dis
trict, Maryland and Virginia police, who

mental delinquents.

ton Of the use Of shackles. The board

Hickey, superintendent of the school, at
meeting at the school Thursday aft
ernoon.
Oficials at the school this morning
confirmed the report that the boys had
escaped, but would give no details OF
how they did. With Vlk went Charles
Shelby, Joseph Slabirick, Howard Riggs,
Shirley Castbell and Edward Trebinseck.
Five boys who got away from the
school at Annapolis are believed to have
returned four hours after making their
escape and aided three girls. one a
dormitory with the aid Of ropes made
of blankets.
Flight Through Fields.
DR.. K. B. Jones, superintendent Of
the school, today said investigation has
shown the boys left the school about
midnight, GLIDING the school guards
and making their escape across the
open fields. The girls, however, were
not missed until about 4 o'clock, when
guards in the girls dormitory found
blankets hanging from the girls win
dowS.
Those who escaped are Elmer San
ders, 20; Leonard Findlay, 10; Anthony
Thomas, 20: Joseph Childs, ~; Leslie
johnson, II; Doris Power, ID; Louis
Beach, 16, and Sarah Ramsey, 16. The
Ramsey girl and the johnson boy, &C
cording to police, live in Washington,
the former in the 4700 block OF Con-
duff road and the latter in the 5000
block Of Vista street northeast.
The boys and girls are believed to

Featured.

ing US a new world of evening
costumes. CoutuTiers have dis
covered the subtle charm of
combining something old with
something new, and it is not
necessary to read the stars to
prcphesy that we will find much
that has gone before in the pres
ent mode. The new mannerisms
adopted by the hustle of other
days is but one delightful evil
dence Of the fact.
This chiffon dress for in
stance offers just one of the
many instances of bustles COM
ing out in unexpected places.
II is a wide bow here that inn
poses itself with delicate assur-
ance at a point above the waist
line. The model uses wide hori-
zontal folds to develop a bodice
and extends the harmony of this
thought to deep tiers placed at
regular intervals on a skirt that
rests gracefully upon the floor.
And you may look at this model
through rose-colored glasses
from another standpoint as well.
II is of a pale pinky beige chif-
fon. In fact the coming season
may be viewed in much the same
light, as pink is already casting
a glow over frocks designed for
all hours of the day.
The bolero is another of u
favorites that is coming back
and one Of its timely diversions
may be seen in the model of
white figured silk. The bolero
with its cape sleeves is cut
longer in front to tie in a bow
just above the waistline. A circu-
lar flounce is caught in a sur
prising manner of draping below
the knee. Trailing to length in
back the gown is a gracious COM
pliment to the current mode.
