GANG KILLINGS
INN. Y.LA|D To
BEER WAR
Six Mysterious Murders in
Week; Metropolis Fails to
Get Excited About II

NEW YORK, June S u.N.s0.
Six mysterious murders have &C.
CURED in New York City in the
past week.
A private "beer war" is rag.
Ing, in the opinion Of detectives,
bat they are not sure that an
OF the killings can be attributed
to battle for beer control.
N. Y. Not Excited
Peculiarly enough, the killings
have been given little play" in
the Metropolitan press. No
longer is the community sur
prised or shocked by the blazing
Of gangster's guns.
On May % the gangster guns
began to blaze. On that day
DOminick ("Slats'') BalOgna and
Richard AmatO were killed in
front Of a restaurant in Harlem.
On May 80 Peter Coll was slain.
On June GenarO ("Chin'O Alta
rati was killed and four others
wounded when gunmen invaded
. bowling alley. On June 2 two
bulIet-riddled cars were found in
the Bronx, a sinister indication
Of possible slayings. On June 3
Louis De Rosa, Of Harlem was
shot and killed.
Roy Sloan Slain
Going back a little further,
on May II Roy Sloane, a former
college student who became
mixed up with gangsters, was
put on the spot"
In addition, there have been
many s1ootings from time to
time in which the victims were
merely wounded. There have
been a few stabbings. to. On
May 20, for example, Vannie Hig-
ginsh, alleged beer baron, was
stabbed while riding in a taxicab
from the Bronx to Flushing.
The police believe the beer
war"-if that's what it is-will
continue for some time in the
Bronx and in Harlem, and some
of the old-timers in the police
department are not sorry, feeling
that "the quicker the gangsters
Kill each other off the better"

Effective Work
In Cross Stitch

American women, especially Of this
galloping year Of 1881, have little time
for fine needlework. 1t is difficult even
to realize the hours and hours of pa
tient and willing and voluntary work
that women used to put on fine en-
broidery. They made their stitches fine
and firm and even, SO that the result
was called satin stitch, so smooth and
fiat it lay. They shaded embroidery
silks with practiced eyes, so that rose
petals lay before you on white linen as
If they had really fallen there from a
dropping rose.
Well, that's that And women today
In this country don't spend two hours
shading a rose leaf from daybreak pink
to deepest rose and laugh delightedly
when somebody says you can almost
smell 1t.
That doesn't mean women today don't
do needlework. They do. But they do
kinds that are quick and effective.
Cross-stitch Is the modern woman's
favorite stitch. Is Is effective and at
iractive, easy to do and quick. Why
shouldn't We like it?
Cross-stitch is used for all sorts of
household linens, and for dresses as
well. 1--we really like to do fine needle
work, we can do cross-stitch very finely.
Initials on handkerchiefs can be done
in stitches that are almost infinitesi-
NAL, yet even and regular
If we like to do coarser work we can
initial our bed linen in letters inches
high, done in stitches that, while even
and smooth, are no tax on the eyesight.
1t is really quite interesting to see
how many different uses we can put one
crcss-stitch design to. A good border
design, for instance, may be used in a
dozen different ways.

White Hats
And Accessories

White is stepping more and more
definitely into the fashion picture.
Black and white costumes were never
more populSy, though they have been
with us for some months past. Blue,
always favored when Spring comes, is
this season almost invariably accented
with white Brown. a very popular
shade for Spring, is contrasted with
white as often as it is with beige, and
every one who reads fashion news
knows how often that is. The white ac
ceSSory be 1t a flower, a necklace, a
bag or a bow, is one of the most IA
vored methods of introducing this touch
Of white; perhaps because 1t is not quite
so final as Incorporating the white into
the dress. 1t offers promise OF change
when ones mood changes.
White pigskin belts and gloves. white
bead necklaces, white boutonnteres of
every conceivable material from patent
leather to peau DANCE, white pocket
books and white bows to put on black
or brown (pumps-all these are TO be
found on the counters of smart shops,
and, what is more, they are seen
wherever smartly attired women are
seen.
Small white hats are extremely smart
for wear with dark street costumes.
Often they are accented with tiny
feather or ornament matching the suit
IN color.

All Kinds of Fancy Work

linen is still the favorite fabric because
it washes better than cotton. Coarse
ecru-toned linen of the Russian type is
one of the most attractive materials to
use for table linen. It lends itself to
solid embroidery work, to eyelet work,
to various sorts of hemstitching and
drawnwork and to cross-stitch work.
Cotton material, however, is often
used and is satisfactory for colored COW
ers, runners and doilies 1t is only
in pure white or other light tones that
the advantages Of linen are obvious.
Fringed table linen has come back
into favor Usually the fringe is quite
short so that there is no difficulty about
keeping it smooth and even.
A favorite way of finishing the edges
Of informal table covers and runners
is by means of a coarse buttonhole
stitch. First a hem is basted along the
edge. The hem may be one-quarter
inch In Width. Thread the needle with
colored embroidery cotton and take a
coarse buttonhole stitch over the hem.
making each stitch one-quarter inch
from the last. When this work has
been done over all the hens, finish by
taking stitches one-quarter inch in
length along the top of the hem so
that you have row of squares all along
the edges. To further elaborate the
edge you may make croSs-stitches of a
contrasting color within each of the
boxes or squares, or you may take the
cross-stitches in alternate squares.

Ruffled PetticOatS

There has been much discussion of
the new ruffled taffeta petticoats and
whether they will survive and become
more than a passing fancy no one can
foretell. They will unquestionably re-
tain their place of interest through the
Spring and Summer, so If you banker
to wear one of these new petticoat6i
dresses now is your time to do so. Don't
wait until they have become a settled
fashion, because that time may never
come!
There are many full-skirted evening
dresses with f1aring ruffled taffeta pet
ticoatS TO be worn beneath soft over
skirts Of chiffon or net or organdie. A
charmingly simple afternoon dress that
We particularly admired was made OF
lightweight black wool crepe, with a
narrow bit of lace at the throat and
a small sash of black taffeta at the
waistline. The wool crepe skirt flared
gradually down from the hips and was
finished on the wrong side of the hem
with a braid that was reminiscent of
late Victorian fashions. The slip of
the dress was of soft black taffeta with
two or three ruffleS of the taffeta hold
ing forth around the lower edge of the
petticoat portion, SO that when the dress
was worn the simple wool crepe skirt
really did flare in earnest.

Blouses of 1881
Are Charming

Anybody who sees the new blouses
must be delighted with the fashion for
coat suits. For the new blouses are
lovely. OF many styles, OF many yaate-
rials, they lure us with their freshness
and daintineSs. They are really quite
the 1oveliest blouseS that we have had
for many years.
Some of them are made Of embroid-
cred net, lined with plain net to give
body and stability. They are usually
made with sleeves shorter than elbow,
which are edged with lace. Sometimes
the peplum extension and the collar
are also lace edged
Crepe de chine In two colors Is effec.
lively used in some Of the more sub
stantial blouseS. Sometimes q fold Of
the lighter color is used along the sleeve
ends and the line of the surplice clos
ing to give very smart contrast. Many
of these blouSeS are made SurpIce fash.
ion and tie at the waist.
Some Of the new blouSeS are made
with waistcoat sections inset In q v,
disappearing in a point at the lower
edge of the blouse, wider at the top.
Eyelet embroidery, in crepe and varis
Gus cotton materials, is also used for
the daintieSt and most attractive Of
little blouses, and satin is used for
some Of the simpler, more serviceable
blouses.
Striped silks, sometimes In Roman
colorings, sometimes In more severe
combinations of tan and brown, black
and green, or light and dark blue, are
especially smart with bolero suits,
where the short jacket shows the fabric
OF the blouse more generouslys

and General Revival
Is Now Ex pc c e d.
Some Ways in Which
Finger Skill May Be
Employed.

Not only is it fashionable to wear
dresses that are feminine; it is fash
ionable also to busy ourselves with a
number of small hobbies and occupa-
tions that would have been regarded
as rather old-fashioned and old-ladyish
"a few years ago. Fancy work of all
sorts has come back into favor and dur
ing the vacation days this Summer you
will doubtless see numerous young
women knitting and crocheting, tatting
and embroidering Actually most women
like TO do fancy wcrk and now that
the prejudice against doing it has been
removed there will doubtless be an in
teresting revival of a large number of
old-time sorts of finger work.
Making small pieces of table linen
and guest towels is always convenient
form of hand work, since the pieces are
small enough to be packed in one's over
night bag or carried in ones handbag
and no elaborate or large kit of tools
Is necessary to do the work. Making
hooked rugs or weaving decorative
fabrics is most entertaining, but neither
of these two sorts of work can be car
ried about with one conveniently.
Pieces Of table linen may be made Of
almost any sort of wash material, but

among which vivid blues and scarlets
are outstanding. With these gowns are
shown evening wraps of three-quarters
or full length, many Of them made of
supple velvetS with trimmings of rich
furs.
Other printed evening gowns are ac-
companied by hip-length capes bordered
with fur. These wraps may either
match the dress exactly or contrast
with it, as when a white wrap is worn
over a multicolor dress.
In the daytime mode the patterns of
printed silks usually are in small two
tone effects. Simple dresses with short
jackets to match them are the most
popular models for this type Of cos
tune.
Over many Of the printed daytime
frocks rough woolen topcoats are worn.
An emerald green tweed coat over a
printed shantung dress is especially ef-
fective and features the raglan sleeves
which appear on several Molyneux
models.

PROMTNENCE is given to prints in
the recent Molyneux collection,
which thereby becomes even more than
ordinarily interesting to American wom-
en-. Capt. 'Molyneux keeps his hand al
ways on the fashion pulse of America,
and the attention he gives to prints
shows how attuned he is to fashion
trends in this country. For prints, and
more prints, prints for morning, noon
and night, are the Spring and Summer
standbys of the American woman
Sometimes, looking over the fabric
counters, we think that the last word
has been said in prints, but when a
great French designer turns his atten-
ton to them, we realize that this judg-
ment is premature, that the last word
in fashion never can be said.
Flowered chiffonS, Powered georgetteS
and gauze lanes with colorful patterns
are the printed fabrics favored by Molly
neux for evening wear. Black and
white floral prints are popular here, but
many brilliant patterns also are used,

full peplum, on the order Of those
designed by Pateu. Soft, loosely
woven woolens in diagonal pat

seen so far. Tailored dresses,
either sleeveless or with very
short sleeves, are finished with
touches of white on the sleeves
and neckline. Palest shades of
blue and green are smarteSt for
evening.

New Sailors Are Pert

Have you seen the new sailor hats?
Like all other hats this year, they
are made to sit on the back of the
head. And, being sailors, they have
the most rakish air perched on the
back of the head, high of the brow.
They are trimmed in conventional
sailor fashion, with bands of ribbon
and little fat bows at one side.

New Pledge Cards
 May Be Issued

 likely that new pledge cards will be passed throughout the city for sigma ture. The city's firemen, police men, school teachers, and City Hall employees are among the groups that have signified their desire to con- tinue with the good work that has been done. A survey taken in one local factory among 169 employees showed them unanimous in their de- sire to continue making their week. ly contributions. It was their con- tention that they were in touch with persons who were benefited by the fund and that they realized how much good was done and how the people who were benefited will suf- fer unless they continue to receive aid. It is the contention of several of the above people that the pledges should never have been permitted to terminate.
 In answer to criticisms of this type members of the unemployment conn mittee stated today that the pledg" cards were only signed for five months and that the committee was in no position to seek additional funds without new cards being signed. The committee also realized that it could get along with less money during the summer months than was expended during the win ter months, and it was thought pos sible that with the opening up of outdoor work many of those being cared for by the unemployment bu- reau could get other jobs.
 While many who held jobs under the unemployment committee during the winter months have secured em- ployment elsewhere on so-called outdoor jobs' there are hundreds who have been turned loose by the

 He is now touring the New Eng land cities, having been to New Ha- ven, Providence, R. l., Bridgeport. Westerly, R. l., and Waterbury. He will go to Hartford next, after which he will visit Springfield, then Holyoke and North Hampton.

The committee can at the present time get along with less than the one per cent of the salary allotment collected under the old pledges on salaries under $50 ant the one and one-half per cent on salaries between $50 and $1O0 ana the three per cent over $lOO. It would be possible perhaps for the committee to get along with one half of one per cent of the salarles or to collect one per cent every two weeks. But this amount would only care for the simmer months and IT conditions get any worse this is even problematical. Inasmuch as 1t IS a big job to get the pledges signed. it has been suggested that the cards be signed up for amounts similar to the pledges and that the committee call a halt to contributions for month at such times as it has funds
