? Healy's Partner Missing With Records - Search For Judge Crater Vir- tually Halted-"Nothing On Allen" Futile De- clares.

New York. Sept, 9-tP-A second mysterious disappearance toLcs cc- cupicd the attention of federal ofli- cials Investigating the alleged pur chase by George F. Ewald of his of ice of magistrate.
 A partner of Martin J. Healy, district Tammany leader, in the Cayuga Realty company was report ed missing since July 29. It is under stood federal marshals are seeking him in Canada to subpoena him and the companys records which disap- peared about the same time.
 Crater Search E.nls
 Meanwhile, the police search for Supreme Court Justice Joseph Force Crater has virtually reached a stand still with all clues exhausted. Ten thousand circulars describing the missing justice have been sent throughout the country and 10 Mex ico and Canada.
 Reports that United States Attor ney Tuttle's investigation into Hcaly's income for 1927 had disclos- ed large deposits to his credit in ad- dition to the S1000O he received about the time of the Ewald ap pointment could not bc confirmed. Reports were that the payments were in connection with another judicial appointment. Healy is now under indictment for failing to file 1927 income tax as a result of the Ew2ld disclosure.
 Published reports that the pay checks of General Sessions Judge William Allen had been subpoenaed were characterized by federal off, cials as unfair to Judge Allen"
 Nothing on Judge Allen
 Futile said his office has nothing before it which involves Judge Allen in the slightest degree He said that at the stat O. the Ewald inquiry the grand jury was forced to search for information as best ii could as all the principals refused any informa- tioa. He said it was then that cer- tain other subpoenaes were issued,
 Another demand upon Governor Roosevelt that he broaden the state investigation to include all charges of office buying in all five borouehs has been made. The Citizens Union, through it's counsel Leonard Vail stein, contended none of the investi- gations ordered by the governor is sufficiently comprehensive to include ''all the charges, suspicious. and in limitations that public offices are bought and sold' in this city.

 EUROPEAN CLOTHES
Movement to Preserve Native
 Garb Gaining Favor Steadily

Peiping, Sept. g (UP) - Even northern Chinese, who are natural lv conservative, express approval of the suggestion that Chinese men and women who wear foreign 5.yle clothes should bn tc::;cd SO heavily that they will prefer Chinese garments. The 1o"emelt, c,arted in Shanghai, has been taken up here.
 According to the Chine:S newc- papers, here. the sugSc stion was fir%t made by Wu Chao-lung to Shanghai municipal authorities. Wu urged that Chinese who wear foreign style clothes should pay a tax of $50 or S1o0 a year for the privilege.
 Wu is quoted as saying that two purposes will be served by this tax. First, Chinese men and wo- men will be hindered in their at tempts to "ape' foreigners. Sec ond, Chinese goods will regain some of the ground foreign goods have taken away from tto...
 If prohibitive measures are not taken" said Wu. "our people show aigns of becoming crazy to adopt foreign clothes, food, houses and goods. Unless VIC check this fad. native industries will suffer even more than they have. Before long we may even see rickshaw coolies and farmers in the packWoods sec tions wearing foreign collars and neckties."
 Nu seems 10 be more interested in restricting adoption of foreign ctyle clothes by Chinese men than by Chinese women. As a matter Of fact, very few Chinese women wear foreign style clothes. Chinese women's dress is extremely attrac- tive. and the women show little dis position to discard it. But men, especially those who have lived abroad. find western clothing more convenient.
 The Chinese weekly. the China Critic. approves N'u's suggestion in come respects. but not in oth- CTS. That foreign-style clothing has definite place in our daily

life is indisputable, the weekly says. People will keep on using i. as long as no better wearing ap- parel is found to take it's place. So the question is not mere of ficial mandate, but some positive and concrete measure by which certain Chinese fabrics, whether sill: or cotton, can ba produced to take the place of the woolen mate rials for making foreign style cloth ing.
 Valuable awards should be given to clever designers who can put out attractive and practical pat terms that can make use of the present Chinese-made fabrics patterns that should combine the advantages of both the Chinese and foreign-style clothing"

So what the ferment finally gives back to man depends on the cata lyst tool.
 Furthermore these ferment work men often make the same product out of quite different raw materials An illustration was given by Prof. A. NJ Buswell of the University Of Illinois, He las bacteria making fuel and Illuminating Cae, called nethGne. out Of waste farm pro- ducts. Whether he feeds them corn stalks, soy bean vines, straw, excel sior, almost anything a farmer raises and cannot sell, they always make methane out of it.
 If the natural gas now being pip ed from oil fields through the mid dle west ever gives out, said Prof, Buswell, it is quite possible that the farmers along the route can make enough methane to keep the gas pipes full for the city folks.
 In food manufacture alone, fer Mcn;J help produce hundreds Of millions of dollars worth Of cdiblea annually. said Dr. r. C. Blanck, head Of the food rescarch division Of the United States bureau of chemistry and soils.
 Such foods" he said, "as bread. certain cheeses. cocoa and chocolate, certain cured meats and fish, sauer- kraut, pickles, vinegar and olives have a fermentation process as an essential part of their manufactur ing process.
 "Tea. coffee and cocoa or choco- late are not usually considered un- der the heading of fermented be- erages. but fermentation has it's part in their preparation for bever- age use"
 Ferments are used. he said, for artificial ageing of green coffee.

Early in January, 1927, Kay Laurell gave birth to baby. When the baby was born, according to the doctor who attended her, she recovered consclous- ness and asked 'Is it boy or girl?" She was told it was boy. She smiled and said: That is just what l wanted" and fell back dead.
 Boyle immediately sought to care for the child. He did not know about her will. But it seems that Kay had left to him practically all of her s100,- 900 estate This included accounts scattered in a dozen New York and London banks, as well as expensive jewelry and other personal effects.
 Why didn't she leave the money to her son? As already explained she supposed that there were no laws pro- viding for the mothers estate to be passed on to an illegitinate child. But only a few weeks before her death such law was established in England. Although Kay Laurell did not know it a similar law existed and still exists in New York State.
 Even Rays brother, Raleigh, did not know about this humane provision until 4NO tllS CUliilcCtS0 NlLll lllC whole case, in fact, realized that so- ciety has changed a little in the last few years and has injected sympath for unfortunate children into it's statute books.
 Raleigh, however, went to London to investigate the situation. He re- turned satisfied that Boyle had from the time of the child's birt, sought to care for it and that furthermore, he had no wish to claim any part of the fortune. His chief anxiety was that the child be cared for.
 There was another sequel to this tragic case. Shortly after Rays death her mother died in Erie, Pa. She left everything to Ruth" to repay her for the money she had advanced for her mothers support. She gave Ruth" the home, saying she had really paid for it.
 Since no one expects to contest the right of Rays estate going to the child, he will be assured of comfort in the future. And when he looks at picture of the mother he never knew in life, he will see beautiful and tragic woman - once toasted by tickle Broadway, and then forgotten.

the Illustrators annual ball. Florenz Ziegfeld was present. He was so en- unused about Kay that he offered to put her in the Follies.
 From then on her rise to fame was rapid. She was the chief attraction in several remarkable tableaux staged by Ben Ali Haggin. Ter pose in the tableau La Patria" made her famous, as did another spectacular one showing her lon top of the world" Ned Way burn, famous dancing teacher, said of her that she was the most beautiful girl he ever directed.
 And all the time a sort of fierce am- bition continued to drive her on. She wanted to become finished woman of the world. To this end she studied French and Spanish, dancing and music She took lessons in department, in poise, in elocution. She took up golf and horseback riding because they were fashionable. She dreamed of mingling in international society. She wanted to be able to meet anyone in the world and feel at ease.
 She seldom was to be seen in the usual cafes and night clubs visited by

rel, former Follies girl, would be visited upon her son.
 fl Indeed, 1t was not even generally known until recently that she had son. Broadway, which had almost for gotten her, heard three years ago that she had died of pneumonia, penniless and alone, in London.
 But the other day there was un- folded in papers filed in the New York Surrogate's Court an entirely different story. It told how the famous beauty had died in giving birth to son. h. stead of poverty she left behind fru- gally accumulated fortune of S100,000.
 It is more than likely that she died thinking her boy could never claim this estate because he was born out of we'd lock. For instead of bequeathing her estate to the boy she left it to his father. But only recently was it dis covered that both in England and the United States there were laws, com paratively new ones, providing that illegitimate children were entitled to share in the mothers estate.
 This unexpectedly dramatic sequel to Kay Laurell's death was not all that the legal papers revealed. Clothed in stolid legal verbiage was the story of former telephone girls hard fight to reach theatrical fame, only to be con- stantly frustrated by perverse fate. It was the story of tragic romance.
 Back in Erie Pa, Ruth Leslie was tired of being "hello girl" She heard New York calling-at the switchboard and in her dreams. She dearly loved her mother, her brother and her sisters. But ambition famed within her.
 At the age of sixteen she went to New York She changed her name, for theatrical purposes, from Ruth Leslie to Kay Laurell. At first even the sem blance of success eluded her. She got a job as a telephone girl. Then she began to pose as model.
 One night she appeared in one of the many beautiful tableaux that featured

beautiful woman in the feathery hat Such hat, if worn in this day, would make you smile. But the beautiful lady is the former Anna Gould, who married the famous Count Boni de Castellane. When this photo was taken the "Floradora hat" was extremely fashionable -for it was in the gay nineties.
 You may insist that the figure in the second photo from the right is ab- solutely ridiculous. But the net bag is the conventional headgear of mar ried woman in New Guinea. She must wear it throughout her married life.

Observe the English boy in the photo at right. You may smile at the quaint straw hat with the ludicrously wide brim. But in his own England that hat is neither quaint or ludicrous. It is the fashion. The boy is the Hon. Noel Buxton, son of wealthy Lord Noel Buxton.
 In the picture next to young Buxton you will see some of his fellow students of exclusive Harrow School wearing the same type of "sailor" as tehy move their new books and manuals to the classroom.

 among them were sets of Thackeray, Dumas and Longfellow; sets of "The Worlds Best Literature Book of Knowledge" Harvard Classics" and well-thumbed book entitled "The His tory of France"
 Although she ignored Broadway, ex- cept for the stage, the Street of Lights toasted her. Yet few of it's habitues probably realized this side of the beau tiful girls nature. They probably did not know that besides studying, sav- ing, carefully investing her money, she also supported her mother back in Erie, Pa. She had become famous as Kay Laurell, but she was still Ruth Leslie to her folks.
 In the midst of her fame she mar ried. But this venture lasted only a year. But Kay Laurell was by no means discouraged. With the same tenacity and determination that characterized her rise to fame, she went back to Broadway, determined to stage a comeback.
 Kay returned to the stage and for ten months appeared in Ladies Night" Then she went to Paris and played in a French company. Broad way heard reports about her only at rare intervals. It began to forget the woman it once toasted. She went to London. Her career here was so negli- gible that even the theatrical trade papers no longer mentioned her name. She bobbed up in the news again only when brief dispatches from London said she had died of pneumonia, penni- less. Broadway sighed and then forgot about her-it thought-forever.
 But Kay LaurelPs experience and death in London turned out to be a tragic one. She had saved her money and sought to move in aristocratic circles. She met and fell in love with Joseph Whiteside Boyle, son of the fa- nous "Klondyke" Boyle, who was an intimate friend of the Rumanian Royal Family. Boyle and Kay Laurell, it seems, wanted to marry, but Boyle was already married, although expecting divorce.

voice. Somebody's shouting, 'Hey'!'
Then, for the bunch there came a
treat. They spied poor Clowny down
the street. He ran right up to them
and said. "Oh gee. I've been away.
II hoped a cart that passed our
way and then the pony ran away.
When someone caught him I jumped
off. That was a trip quite rare"
We'll, have your fun, lad, now and

suddenly had disappeared. Said
