"CoIIor Ads"
'GigOLO' Type Pass
ing, Say Ad Men

That "collar.ad" look used for so
long as a descriptive phrase for a
handsome man Is now paSse, &C
cording to exhibitors at the forty
first annual convention of the In
ternational Association Of Display
Men, meeting at the Mayflower.
SculptorS Of male mannequins
find that the bronzed Hollywood
type is the most appealing to men
and women alike.
And seen in the four-floor ex-
hibit which is a feature Of the con-
vention, are natural types of men
mannequinS, ranging all the way
from a smiling copy of Clark
Gable to q red-headed freckle-faced
boy about to knock a home-run.
The outdoor type of man is pic
tured in a rotund, laughing fisher
man, q golfer whose intense ex-
preston shows he takes his game
seriously, a tennis player whose
wig Of natural hair is dishevelled
after a hard game.
Few are the straight gigolo
types, as the Sculptors have dub
bed their old models.
The increase Of male name
quinS is outstanding in most Of
the exhibits. Realism is the key
note.

MURDER
PROBE DELAYED

PRINCE FREDERICK, Md,
June ADMINISTRATION of the
mysterious murder of Mrs. Esther
Lewis, 30, Bureau of Engraving
and Printing employee, marked
time today while States Attorney
Arthur w. Dowell awaited results
Of a chemical analysis of her
vital organs.
Report of the Baltimore
chemists, who are attempting to
determine the manner in which
Mrs. Lewis died, is expected TO-
morrow, Dowell said. The Woman'S
body was found in Lyons creek
near here nine days ago, but an
autopsy showed she was dead
when she was thrown in the
water.
A middle-aged Arlington county
street car conductor, arrested
shortly after the body was identi-
fled, is still being held on an open
charge in the Calvert county Jail.
The fact that Mrs. Lewis, a
widow, was an expectant mother
led investigators to believe that
she may have died while being
prepared for an illegal operation.
The name of a Washington physi-
clan, said to have examined Mrs.
Lewis before her death, has been
drawn into the case.

He derives his name from
stone heap. He was thus named
because he was and is, even to-
day, used principally in Scot
land and England to chase the
fox, badger or the wildcat from
their dens beneath the rocks.
This most lovable, debonair,
wide-awake, little fellow was
recognized as a distinct breed
in the early part of the
present century, although he is
in reality of very ancient Scotch
lineage. Let us Say-another
Of the mystic terrier breeds
which originated into the Scot
tish highlands.
Midgets in size, they are
fierce flyweight fighters who
never hesitate to attack any
foe. They are light, but ex-
tremely muscular.
These dogs are extremely
popular in England today, be-
ing especially fancied by the
Duke IF Windsor. When Prince
Of Wales and while he was king,
he became a staunch enthusiast
of the breed. His brother, the
present king, also has a number
of fine specimens in his kennels.
An ideal dog for the home,
particularly for the small apart
ment, lis master or mistress
should attempt to prevent him
from oecoming a lap dog or a
toy. He Is not this type Of pet,
and spelling him will likely tend
to ruin his personality.

There arises a question now as
to whether the man fined IS in

day was, as claimed, Jimmy Slat-
terry, the former Buffalo light
heavyweight boxer.
Dispatches from Buffalo claim
that Slattery's hair is not curly,
as the man described here who
was accused of drinking in public
but rather, straight as a string.
Perhaps that explains the rea-
