Washington Fashions
BY WILMA LAvILLE

Most coats this year measure
their chic in their ability t.
look like dresses, in their slim
ness, soft lines, intricate cut,
and excellent tIt. That is what
we have been saying for two or
three months and now it is
truer than ever. In fact, the
new unlined silk coats could
really be worn for dresses If
you cared to try They have
all the grace Of line and move
ment that distinguishes a we'll
cut frock and right now with
their lack of lining and fine
ness of material they are al
most as cool as a frock.
Soft Satin Crepe
Satin-back crepe makes many
of these lovely summer coats.
This has various advantages.
The satin side may be used as
trimming if you like it, and the
satin inside the coat makes 1t
slip on and off easily and keeps
1t from clinging to the 1reSs,
so that it hangs straight and
smooth. This coat wraps far
over, a typical Vionnet idea,
which gives an added grace.
The neck-line is also inspired
by Vionnet, O soft double roll
closing diagonally, that is ex-
tremely becoming to almost any
woman.
Sleeves From PatOu
The sleeves, on the other
hand, are copied from a Patou
coat. The TERED upper Sec
ton corresponds to the roll
about the neck-line of the coat
and the large bell cuffs may be
tackled up to "a length to show
the longer gloves wrinkled
about your wrist. The belt ties
in a graceful bow and adds an
other dressmaker and dress-like
touch. This coat is medium
priced.
For any other information
about this coat or about your
own fashion problems, write

addressed, stamped envelope, or

POCKET BOOK RECOVERED
AFTER THREE YEARS

1. D. Karlson, of Baltimore,
while directing some repair
work on the roof Of a house in
Aberdeen, in May, 1928, lost
his pocketbook, containing
eleven $40 bills and some cards
and papers.
In April of this year a rain
spout on the house that Mr..
Karlson had repaired became
clogged, and G. w. Martin, a
carpenter of Aberdeen, in
cleaning it out, came across a
water-soaked pocket book, con-
tanning eleven soggy bank
notes and some cards and pa
pers, the printing on which
could not be deciphered.
The bank notes were for
warded to the Treasury Depart
ment in Washington, with an
explanation of their finding,
and the Treasury Dept. return
ed new bills in their place.
Efforts to find the owner of
the lost pocket book were con-
tinued, and when the papers
dried out sufficiently one was
found to be az membership GER
tificate to the Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows. From the
number on the certificate the
owner was finally traced as be-
ing l. D. Karlson, of 400 East
Biddle street, Baltimore. Mr..
Karlson established the owner
ship of the pocket book, and on
Wednesday of last week receiv-
ed his S110.

FIRE DAMAGES UNOCCU.
PIED DWELLING

The Community Fire Com
pany apparatus was called on
Monday afternoon, to the dwell
ling about one mile south of
Rising Sun, on the Pennington
road, owned by e. J. Lucas, and
lately occupied by J. B. Akers,
who had moved from the prem
ises a day or two previous.
/ Smoke was seen issuing from
the dwelling by passing auto
lists, and the alarm sent in
about two o'clock.
When the firemen reached
the scene dense smoke filled
the house, and forcing en-
trance through a window they
finally located smouldering
fires in two closets on the first
floor, and soon extinguished
them. The floor and woodwork
on the interior of the closets
were charred, but timely dis
covery prevented the destruc-
ton of the dwelling.
The interior of the dwelling
was badly smoked up but little
damage done by fire.
The fire has all the appear
ance of being Of incendiary or
igin, as an INVESTIGATION showed
papers in both closets had been
burning.

A discussion on the subject
was given by DR.. Pincoffs, OF

DR.. e. r. Mayerberg, Of New

of Delaware, read an able paper

DR.. Mayerberg attributed a

DIR. VIM. III. Welch gave the
concluding address of the ses-
sion, his subject being 'Dis-
tinguished Physicians who
have graduated from West Not
tingham Academy"
DR.. Welch's address was de-
livered without notes and
showed a thorough knowledge
of historical data connected
with this venerable institution.
The foremost graduates of
note were of the pre-revolu-
tionary period and were John
Archer, of Hartford county, first
graduate in medicine in Amer
lea; Benz. Rush, one of the
signers of the Declaration of
Independence and the most
widely known physician of his
day; John Morgan, Surgeon
General Of the Continental
Army, and William Shipper.
the latter three being from
Philadelphia, and associates Of
Benz. Franklin on diplomatic
missions in London during
1850 to 1855. Other physicians
of note who have graduated
from West Nottingham Acad-
envy at later dates were John
Tilson, Of Delaware; Drs.
Harry and John Deaver, Of
Philada., the latter being one of
the foremost surgeons Of the
country, who has recently died.
In concluding his very inter-
esting address DR.. Welch stated
that his research had shown
him that West Nottingham
Academy should be considered
a shrine by the medical profess
sion Of the country.
On display in the museum
was a fine collection of Indian
and antique relics and ancient
firearms, presentd to the Acad-
envy by DR.. J. B. Slicer, Of Ris-
ing Sun, and the late c. C. Cald-
well, Of Liberty Grove.
