United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Three death
verdicts in a month, two Of them
within a week, and 199-year SEN
tence for blond tigress" accused
of murder, was the imposing record
boosted by Chicago court officials
today in their unprecedented drive
on crime.
Since the intensive criminal cam
paign WIS launched a month ago
by the veteran judge, John Prystal-
ski, following Staying Of a police
man in a courtroom, 232 persons
have been sentenced to prison. Many
of them received maximum terms.
The heavy penalty against the
woman, whom police labeled the
"tigresS killer" Mrs. Eleanor Jar
man, similar sentence against one
companion, and a death verdict
against another was returned by a
jury in criminal court Wednesday
night.
Woman Linked in Staying
1t brought the criminal campaign
to climax as Judge Prystalski, who
summoned judges back from their
vacations to hold special court ses-
sions on a crowded docket, prepared
to resign the chief juSticeship.
Mrs. Jarman, %, mother of two
children, was implicated in the bru-
tai Staying of Gustave Hoeh, II,
haberdasher, during holdup. Wit
nesses said she kicked the aged man
as he lay on a sidewalk bleeding
from a fatal wound inflicted by
George Dale, %, her sweetheart.
Dale was sentenced to die in the
electric chair.
Leo Minneci, 81, third member OF
the holdup gang. accused of more
than fifty robberies, likewise was
melted 199-year sentence.
Jurors deliberated four hours. be-
fore those wishing to infict the ex-
IRENE penalty of all the defendants
COMPROMISED on the 199-year term,
which precludes all possibility OF
parole
Speedy Action Taken
In his trial. as we'll as in others
during the campaign, technicalities
were pushed aside. In few cases
have jury deliberations been more
than few hours and in virtually
every trial verdict Of guilty has
been returned.
In trials lasting barely day, Nor
ris Cohen, police slayer, and John
Scheck, another police killer, were
sentenced to death. Cohen was tried
a few days after he killed Patrolman
Joseph Hastings in holdup on
navy pier.
Scheck killed a policeman in
courtroom while ne was being held
on another charge. 1t was this STAY
ing that inspired the criminal drive.
In the trial ended Wednesday,
and the other two in which death
verdicts were returned, Judge Prys-
talski and presiding judges success
fully overcame attempts to delay
opening of the hearings. Judge
Prystalski ordered cases pending on
the docket many months moved up
and brought to trial Immediately,
resulting in a new era in Chicago
court procedure.

Council Expected to Set Tax
Rate Only 9 Cents Above
1932-1933.
PAY BOOSTS UNDER BAN
Appropriation for Old Age
Pensions Will Be Cut
by Half.

Cutting wide swaths into
the proposed Marion county
budget, the county council to-
day proposed to keep the tax
rate at only 9 cents higher
than in 1932-1933, with the
major portion of the increase
due to mandatory laws and in
creased cost of living.
The council, according to John
Newhouse, of Cumberland, council
man, proposes to keep the budget
down to approximately so cents, as
follows:
1. Slice the proposed appropria-
ton for old age pension in the
county from 100000 to 100000.
2. Refuse all requests for raises
in salaries.
3. Hoping that there will be some
manner in which the $104,00O re-
quired for the registration law for
voters need not be appropriated.
Ban Salary Boosts
Newhouse, in declaring that the
council would not countenance SAL
airy increases, tolled a heu Tor
hopes of court clerks, bailiffs, and
court reporters receiving salary
hikes.
Judges of all courts, except Juve-
nile. have been requesting $1,000 sal
airy instead of $1,000 for court re-
porters, with bailiffs' salaries raised
from $500 to $1,000.
Salary increases and new equip
ment, if omitted from the budget
would net a saving of $4,000 tc
the county, or nearly cents on the
tax rate.
Newhouse said the $500, 900 request
for old age pension would be cut
in half.
The county commissioners asked
for the entire 100000, which is the
estimated yearly cost of the new
legislative act.
No Refund to Be Given
But the commissioners were to re-
ceive one-half refund on the appro-
priation from the state.
The commissioners believed that
in making a request for the entire
amount reserve could be built up
and thereby avert the need of bor-
rowing money for the last half OF
each year until the state pays its
half of the pension.
But the council is of the opinion
that only half of the amount should
be requested. Ely Slicing off $4,000
it will reduce the tax rate an addi-
tional 4 cents.
The councils third hope, uneX-
pressed but apparent, is that some
organization or agency in the county
will enjoin the council from appro-
priating the mandatory $104,000 fol
the voters registration law which
would give an additional cut of {
cents in the tax rate.
Law Is DeplOred
Wednesday, in a resolution, the
county council decried the registra-
ton law as "unsound, impractical
and useless" and urged that Gov
ernor Paul McNutt work to bring
about repeal at the next legislature
If increases are permitted in bud
gets by the council, it is said they
will deal with institutional fooc
costs, maintenance of buildings, anc
upkeep of county units affected by
rising prices.
The proposed budget calls for {
76-cent tax rate, against Al cent!
in 1932-1933. The council is con
fident that when the official meet
ing is held Tuesday, tax critics vii
find the levy for 1894 is increased

creased property valuation of SGT,

These people would always
rather have a well-chosen gift
that contributes to their hobby
or their special interests than
nearly anything else. And even
if you don't know enough about
their hobby to choose wisely,
there are always new gadgets
coming out for every sport or
work, and most people like to
have them to try out.
Hobby or Work
There's a long list of things
that will be suitable for most
of these people, and practically
any of them will be a boon to
the student, whether he or she
be high school age, in college,
or studying later on.
A desk is necessary for al
most any craftsman. and a
drawing board for the ambi-
tious artist or draughtsman.
A typewriter is an excellent
gift for young person, for if
they learn to use it when they
are young, it will be an in
valuable aid all their lives. A
portable is best for most peo-
pie, as they can move it around
at will, and it is almost as
easy to use as a larger station
ary type.
How About Book Space
Desk accessories, useful ones,
are always nice for anyone, in
Guiding the man or woman in
business. and many of us need
them. -.
A bookcase or bookshelf is
another useful gift, for nobody
ever had enough space for
their own special books. If
there's no room for a shelf,
perhaps book ends will solve
the problem.
Even such a simple gift as a
fountain pen and pencil set
will find a welcome with many
people, for though they max
have them, they are things that
get lost easily. A brief case is
another good idea for the stu
dent or for anyone who car
ries many papers around.

Just to prove that that newest
OF fall shades, eel gray, need
appear neither dull nor depress-
ing, as so many persons believe,
I have chosen that color in the
distinguished frock shown above.
The material is dull finished
crepe; the color eel gray. But
there is a dash and a life to the
costume that you don't find in
many a bright red one.
Orry-Kelly, who designed it,
put a sort of flowing, ripping
movement into the lines, with
the scalloped collar, fin-tucked
sleeves, and a rather long skirt
length that is broken by the
long tunic effect of the over
blouse, which reaches well below
the hips. Stitching on the wide
belt, sleeves and collar gives
another high fashion effect and
the inner collar of white organza
softens the line at the throat.
The hat, figuratively and lit
orally. "goes places" Very close
fitting, it. too. carries out the
lively spirit of the ensemble with
the soaring crest placed horizon
tally across the peak of the
crown.
Suede gloves, bag and shoes
to harmonic are the proper
accessories.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-Smart-
ness hangs by a hair, believes
Armand, famous French hair
dresser whose newly opened
New York salon is dedicated to
the greater glorification Of
woman's crowning glory.
Face and Hair
Your face may be your for.
tune, but your hair determines
what sort Of face you shall
have, according to Armand, to
whom shampoos and soaps are
a secondary consideration. He
says:
Most hairdressers, when they
give a woman a wave or bob,
see only the hair itself. What
they should do is to study the
face instead, and then arrange
the hair to form the most be-
coming frame possible for the
face.
IF it is a perfect oval face

beauty-then the hairdreSser
has nothing to do except em-
phasize the already existing
lines. If it is a round, full face.
however, it can be brought
closer to the oval contour by a
long, flat bob, low over the ears.
Then a dab Of rouge on the
chin-and you have the illusion
of the ideal oval shape!
"If it is a long, narrow face,
then the technique is just the
opposite. The hair is then
dressed in a high, fluffy bob
ending we'll above the ears to
create the impression of width

for the mathematically in
clined will be a joy forever.
Perhaps even filing equip
ment and a good reading lamp
are what a methodical soul
needs, or someone with weak
eyes. And don't forget that
many person, student or not,
would love a good atlas, en-
cyclopedia, dictionary or the
Saurus.
Other things you might not
think about are an electric
heating pad for these cold
nights, a good warm blanket in
dark colors, lounging robe or
slippers, an alarm clock, per-

Many skins do not need a
vanishing cream normally. But
in the winter a protective coat
ing under your powder will keep
the skin from becoming too dry.
If used on the nose it also
will keep that purplish-red color
brought on from the biting cold,
from being so obvious.
Light Coating
The average woman looks far
more attractive when her face
has been exposed to very cold
weather. A light coating Of
vanishing cream or a liquid
lotion, if you prefer, gives a
fine foundation for makeup.
And now for the tinting.
After you have thoroughly
cleansed the skin Of your face
and neck and applied some soft
nourishing cream, remove all OF
the surplus cream with a cleans
ing tissue and then apply a van
ishing cream to which has been
added a few drops of liquid
rouge. In this limited space,
we cannot begin to tell you what
a marvellous effect this prep
aration will have on your ap-
pearance. Apply the vanishing
cream evenly over your face and
neck.
Soft Tone
Your skin will instantly take
on a beautiful soft tone entirely
different from its former sallow
appearance.
This vanishing cream is, Of
course, only to be used as
powder base. After you have
applied your cheek rouge and
your lip rouge, you will be
astonished at the change in
your appearance.
Any good vanishing cream
may be used and any good
liquid rouge. If you are at a
loss for the names of some good
ones, we will be glad to furnish
you with the trade names if
you write in.
Use Care
Be careful not to get too
much rouge into the vanishing
cream or you will look like a
rose in full bloom by the time
you have put on some makeup.
Use just enough to family tint
the cream.
Add one drop at a time, stir
ring it in with an orange stick
or a spoon until the vanishing
cream becomes a very light
shade Of pink.
