S. Supreme Court in vacating the
death convictions of three Mississippi
Negroes, alleged to have slain q white
planter in Kemper county, Mississippi
pi, on March 80, 1884. Here is it.
In reading the decision Chief JUS
tice Charles Evans Hughes asserted
that evidence that the confessions
were procured by coercion was not
questioned" ..s
He then continued, reading the de-
cision:
There is no dispute as to the facts
upon this point, and as they are clear
~ and adequately stated in the dis
senting opinion of Judge Griffith of
the Mississippi Supreme Court, with
whom Judge Anderson concurred,
showing both the extreme brutality
of the measures to extort the con-
fessions and the participation of the
State authorities, we quote this part
of his opinion as follows:
"'The crime with which these de-
PENDANTS, all ignorant Negroes, are
charged, was discovered about l p. m.
on Friday, March 80, 1884. On that
night one Dial, deputy sheriff, &C

Glo1itying YourSelf
By ALICIA HART

The beauty preparations that the business girl has kept in her desk all winter should Do replaced right now with special summer items. The time has come when lotions are more appealing than creams, when bottle of cologne is Q necessity and not merely something you pour on as you leave tho offlce for Q tea date.
 Let Q good cleansing lotion form the nucleus of your ofiice makeup box for summer. This can very well be one Of the excellent varieties which serve as powder bases as well as cleansers. Several time ( day use the lotion to remove every trace of old makeup before you start to put on . fresh coat.
 You probably need new rouge, too. # you are guntanned, try one of the copper rust tones, with iip- stick to match, of course. Otherwise, pick lighter, brighter shade than you wore during the winter months. Unless your skin is tanned, you do not need to invest ina new face powder. The powder rule never varies. It always must match ex- actly the tone of your complexion.
 Choose summer hard cream that not only keeps hands smooth and white but which ilourisheS cuticle, hardened by sand and sun

Paris (UP)-schiapareili's flower pot" print is making social history in Paris.
 It's debut was made when Miriam Hopkins, the American film favorite, wore an evening gown in this print at gala dinner at the Ambassa- deurs restaurant. Princess Sixtee de Bourbon -Parme, who was voted one of the 10 best.dresSed women in the world in 1884, wore the same flower pot" print for her after noon lecture ct the AHnbassadeurS theater. The Princesse de nour- bon-P -Parme, who still is in black and white following the death of her husband several years ago, wore Q hat of swirling black Paradise feathers to complete her costume. Others who have ordered the even- ing gown include Mrs. Reginald Fellowes Clikewise named one of the worlds best dressed women) and Mile. Aileen Henessey, daughter of the brandy manufacturer.
 Another of schiaparellps "best sellers" is the black crepe suit which is worn with Q white blouse, the bodice of which is painted in tiny blue forget-Ine-nots. With this is worn one of the new bandeaux in black trimmed ct the front at the hairline with Q bunch of artifi- cial forget-tne-n
 The prints at this house are un- usually successful this year and particularly clever and amusing. The radio print in almost every color shows sound waves gtreaking across the material as well as birds, airplanes and broadcasting stations.

Your BabY's Health
Sleeping Bag And Waterproof Covering
 Important Accessories For Baby

wind around the baby's limbs. Mothers, therefore, should be ex- tremely careful in using these ar. ticles.
 A good sleeping bag should be wide enough to cover the crib and somewhat longer that the baby. Materials may be sheeting, canton flannel, French, flannel, or light blanketing, depending on the sea- son.
 There usually are tapes which fasten to the sides of the crib. These serve to hold the bag in place and also to keep the bag from winding itself around the baby. Such c sleeping bag should permit freedom of movement for hands and legs.
 Some of these bags are made with special materials around the neck, to keep the bag from becom- coming too tight and restricting the breathing in any way.
 Rubber pants sometimes are cons yenient when 6 child is taken on 6 trip, or under other special circum- stances. They should not be used continuously, however, because they result in less frequent changing Of the diapers and subsequent chafing of the skin. Sometimes they restrict the legs 50 tightly that circulation of the blood is disturbed.
 Tests have been made on babies who wore diapers with Q water proof covering as entrusted with babies who wore diapers without such protection. Six babies of each type were compared.
 At the end of week, the babies without the covering had used ap- proximately 400 more pieces of laundry than did those with the coverings. Moreover, extrat time was required by nurses in chang ing the entire bed.
 The children with the waterproof coverings seemed to have no more irritation than those without the coverings. Moreover, extra time those who made the test that the irritation came from the exertions, and not from the fact that they were held rather longer in contact with the skin.
 As I have said previously, the most common mistake is too much clothing. Overclothed children are fretful, and perspire. In the very hottest weather, it may be advis- able to remove all clothing except the diaper.
 Modern manufacturers of infants garments now prepare suits which consist simply of covering for the lower portion of the body, with two straps to go ever the shoulders. On some suits there is mesh material which permits ready passage of the suns rays.
 Prompt acceptance of this type of clothing material is an indica- ton of It's worth.

 Kostia de War, another knitting expert, believes that nothing can surpass the practical advantages of knitted clothes. She shows Q com- plete weekend outfit that can be packed in Q small suitcase. It in- cludes Q beach ensemble, an after noon dress, Q cocktail suit and Q simple dance dress.
 For travelling, the De War tailor cd coats, made from heavy cotton threads and mixtures of cotton and straw, are perfect. The skirts are plain and straight. Some are button- cd down the front Others are fin- ished with twin pockets. Jackets are short, like Eton jackets, or snugly fitted and belted.
 The simple daytime dress, wheth- CT one or two piece, is done par- ticularly well by our own Afneri- can designers. Soft cashmere, the queen of yarns, lends itself ad- nlirably to these and to bathing suits and sweaters, too.
 Outstanding Knitted Models
 The cashmere bathing suit shown here at the right is cut to accentuate the lines of the bust. There is no seam at the waistline. It comes in Neptune blue Ca dusty blue tone), melon, orchid, pale green, white, red and orange.
 The two-piece dresses, also in cashmere, are finished with hems instead of bands of purling. Both have short sleeves and necklines that lend interest.
 The classic sweater set (left) consists of short-sleeved pull-over with small collar and Q long sleeved cardigan. Of softest cashmere, these come in dusty pastels and natural cashmere.

FIND THE SEPTIC FOCUS

FIND THE SEPTIC FOCUS
 In treating arthritis good physi- clans find that not infrequently the guilty septic focus is Q silent one, that is, the patient has experienced no particular trouble and may be quite unaware that there is an ab- scess or an area of infection at the root of a tooth or in the rectum or the genito-urinary tract, yet such c source is quite aS likely to &C., count for chronic arthritis as is Q painful sinus infection or Q trouble some cholecystitis.
 If I had chronic arthritis I would not permit extraction of 0 tooth merely on X-ray evidence. If my dentist gave his opinion that the root of the tooth were infected and that the tooth should be extracted, I'd give up the tooth only If the neighboring lymph nodes or "ker- neis" under the edge of jaw bone or on the side of the neck were e1- larged or tender. I believe the pfes- ence of such swollen, tender lymph nodes is adequate evidence of SyS- tCmic infection,

on the beach, golf clubs and tennis rackets. Use it frequently.
 Then select Q good cologne or toilent water. Before you go out to lunch, saturate large cotton pad with the liquid and give your arms, elbows and neck e once-over. This makes you cooler and certainly . good deal cleaner.
 In addition, plan to keep Q fresh pair of washable white fabric gloves Q pair of extra stockings and . clean handkerchief in the oftlce, Having these on hand as you are dashing out for Q tea or Q last minute dinner date means the dif- ference between looking your best and just so-so.
