CUTS SILK HOSE
BILLS IN TWO

A New York fashion expert has
found a simple, easy method to
double the wear of silk hose and
undergarments. These articles,
worn next to the skin, wear out
doubly fast because Of the perspi-
ration and other body excretions
which soften and rot the silk.
This lady found that soap and
water were inadequate for washing
such articles. She recommends
when washing silks to add table
spoonful of Energine to every quart
of lukewarm, soapy water. Wash
and rinse as usual. This method not
only cleans thoroughly and quickly
but makes silks like new with re-
vived colors and pleasing freshness.
The difference in results over the
use of soap and water alone will
amaze you. 1t means longer life
real economy.
Energine is unexcelled also for
quickly removing all dirt and
grease spots from dresses, hats,
gloves and ties. Large can S5 cents

CLEVELAND, March 16.-"Akron
Mary" Outland, whose capture Sun
Gay night at Pittsburgh ended a
months search by police Of three
cities, today was released to Cleve-
land police, who were returning her
here for questioning in hopes of
breaking the alibi Of Pittsburgh
Hynie" Martin, alleged slayer of
William E. Potter, former council
man.
Before leaving Pittsburgh, Akron
Mary stoically refused to answer
questions of detectives regarding her
relations with Martin and stood by
her statement, made on her capture,
that she would say nothing until
she had consulted her attorney,
Samuel S. Rosenberg.
Rosenberg is now here preparing
the defense for the opening next
week of Martins trial as Potter's
slayer.
ParamOur of Murder Suspect
Mrs. Outland, together with two
men who gave their names as
David Cohen, SO, and Albert Gohl-
strom, %, who are suspected Of be-
! ing former associates OF Martin,
was captured Sunday night in a
police raid on cheap north side
Pittsburgh apartment.
\ Her presence there was learned
through an underworld tip, the
source of which police refused to
reveal.
Martin recently admitted that
Akron Mary was his paramour.
She was said by police to closely
resemble descriptions of woman
seen at the apartment where Pot
ter's body was found Feb. 8, five
days after he was slain.
Detectives stated following the
discovery Of his body that they be-
lieved the woman seen there had
lured Potter to the death suite.
It is believed Akron Mary will be
3he KEY witness in Martins trial.
Death Sealed Lips
Karin Bill Potter was for years
a prominent Cleveland politician.
His murder was discovered the day
before he was to have gone on trial
for perjury in connection with
testimony he gave at trials Of poll
ticians allegedly implicated in city
land fraud scandals.
He was known to have been
financially destitute, and detectives
believed he was about to confess
what he knew of the scandals to
win clemency for himself.
1t was asserted by county invest-
gators that Martin was hired by
politicians to seal Potter's lips.
