GO MODERN
WITH COLOR.

Have you become more color conscious
this spring? It's no wonder-whereve1
one looks, it's color-in the magazines
the advertising sections of the daily
paper, and shop windows.
What accessories will produce the
modern effect? Assuming that one has
a basic dress, black, navy blue, brown
tan, or gray, there are number of
possibilities. Of course, the particular
dress or occasion, the size of your purse
and the choice available at your shop
ping center will also be factors in what
you finally select.
Two matched accessories and some
times three of the right color value are
being used this spring. Combinations
include: Jacket or bolero, belt and
flower; jacket, hat and gloves; shoes,
gloves and purse; flower and belt; hat
and sash; beads and sash or belt; scarf
and handkerchief, and collar and cuffs.

YOUNG MCCORMICK
 MISSING ON HIKE

Albuquerque, N. M., June 24.- (UP)-Police today searched the Sandia mountains cast of here for Medill Mccormick, 21, son of Ruth Hanan Simms, and companion. They have been missing since last Wednesday.
 Mccormick and Richard Whitmer, 21, were on hiking trip into Bear Canon in the Sandia Range, l2 miles east of Albuquerque. It has been customary, authorities said for picnickers and hikers to drive their automobiles well into the canon and continue on foot.
 Indications were found, they said, that the two youths had done that, but evidently they or someone else had driven the car away. The car has not been found.
 Mrs. Simms, husband of Albert Simms and daughter of the late Mark Hanna, reported the disap- pearance to police yesterday. Officers said she exhibited little anxiety other than to express the possibil- ity that the boys might have be- come lost during mountain storm The canon is situated on land re- gently purchased by Simms.

Trade School Graduate Wins
 $2OO Flying Scholarship

Kostak A. Koleda, Montville, Putnam State Trade School grad uate, will receive the 1888 de Flo reg Aviation Scholarship, the board of judges announced today.
 Koleda, a graduate of Bulkeley High school, New London, was selected by the judges for the $200 award from the members of the schools aircraft course.
 With this money Koleda, who entered the school July IS, 1885, will take flying instructions. He was graduated April 22. He has qualified for the airplane mechan- ic's license.
 The scholarship is offered for the first time by Luis de Florez distin- gulShed mechanical and chemical engineer, who often flies from his home in Pomfret to his office in New York City. MT. de Florez's aim Is to stimulate aviation. He chose to do this by making 1t possible for a graduate mechanic to profit by some flight experience. thus gaining definite knowledge concerning what is necessary in air. plane maintenance and service from the pilots point of view.
 Served Apprenticeship
 After successfully completing the necessary probationary period at Putnam, Koleda was promoted to the aircraft mechanics training and served his apprenticeship. His record of performance In all subjects was of high grade throughout the entire training per- iod, Director H. H. Ellis of the school says.
 Koleda was active in the schools athletic program, playing basket ball three seasons and was cap- tain of his team for two years. He also played on the baseball team for two seasons and the soccer team one season.

Barbara Hutton Case Gets New Slant as Countess
 Fights to Hold Child
BY HENRY TOSTI RUSSELL United Press Staff Correspondent) (ftorvr;rIsk JO0o hv KTv,itnN prn~e.


 Copyright, 1888, by United Press,
 London, June 24. (UP) --- Countess Barbara Hutton Haug.. witz- Reventlow is SO fearful that au effort may be made to deprive her of her two year old son Lance that she may seek to regain her Ameri-. can citizenship, it was reported to- day.
 An atmosphere of mystery has sur- rounded what seemed to be crisis in the affairs of the countess and her handsome Danish husband, Count Court Haugwitz-R Reventlow, who has been in Paris for several days after visit to the south of France.
 This atmosphere was cleared to- day on authority believed to be un- impeachable. It was said that the countess was acutely afraid that an attempt might be made to re- move her son from her custody and from Great Britain. There were reports that there was a financial angle also, involving desire by the count to see his wife'S fortune in- vested in European rather than in American securities.
 But the principal matter, it was said, was that the countess received threat that her child would be taken from her. Informants said that she at once communicated with Scotland Yard, asking protection, and at the same time called in her attorney, w. M. Mitchell.
 As the result of the conference with Mitchell, informants said, the countess visited Bow Street Police Court.
 At Bow Street, informants said, Magistrate T. w. Fry issued a war rant under which the count, if he arrived in this country, would be compelled to go to the police court at once.
 The warrant was not criminal one. The intention was, according to informants, to issue a restraining order against the count if he came to Great Britain. This would for bid him to interfere with the coun- tess or their child, it was said.
 Informants added that the magis- trate, if the count faced him, would point out to him that the restrain ing order was merely civil issue, but that if he disregarded it he might be subject to arrest on a spe- cific charge.
 The countess conferred with her attorney this morning at her resi- dence, Winfield House, in Regents Park. A strong guard was still main- tained at the gates to the grounds and inside.

 "Never has JENNY LIND sung to greater audience in her life. we venture to assert, than that which greeted her last evening in this city,-n0t great in numbers but great in other respects. We'll might she feel proud of her talent, when she saw it subdue such mighty intellects as CLAY'S and WHISPERS, whose faces plainly told their appreciation of her great gift; or the President (Fili- mOre) of SO vast and glorious nation, smile, enchanted with the fascinating Bird Song; or GEN. SCOTT, the greatest, save one, of living Generals, bend his stately brow approvingly as she kept time in that celebrated marceau, "The Camp of Silesia.' From Maine to California the mighty in mind were gathered together before her, admiring with one heart her genius and her goodness.
 Nearly four thousand persons were present-the elite of the Union,-seated in fraternal love, side by side, 0bliviOus for the hour of aught but Harmony and JEN- NY LIND.

FIGHT COMMUNISM URGES ARCHBISHOP
Marvellous Spectacle at Eucharistic Congress
 Midnight Mass

Quebec, June 24-(UP)-Cardinal villeneuve archbishop of Quebec and papal legate called upon the thou sands attending Canada's first Ma tional Eucharistic Congress today to fight "the battle against the enemies of God-the battle against commit nism."
 The cardinal celebrated midnight mass from his throne in the great repository overlooking the St. Law renee river. More than 80,000 heard his address, which followed an hour of solemn adoration on the Plains of Abraham, where Canada's poli- tical destiny was shaped in battle between the French and English more than 250 years ago.
 The ceremonies, marking the sec ond day of the Congress, brought together dignitaries of church and state, clergy and laity from all parts of the dominion and from many sec tions of the United States.
 In an impressive service, the thou sands of the faithful renewed their fealty to the church by candlelight to the sound of hymns. All illumina- tion was extinguished except the candles which each worshipper car ried. and all joined in the singing, led by huge choir.
 Then the great crowd moved for ward in groups to receive Holy Com munion from 150 priests who, in sur plice and stole and carrying chalices descended to meet the communi- cants.
 The procession to the scene Of ceremony started hours in advance. The cardinal led the way through streets brilliantly illuminated and decorated by religious insignia in the Congress colors, yellow, white and red. He was followed by hundreds of vividly dressed prelates. Encir- cling the central dais, priests of every order knelt in row after row. Brightly uniformed Zouaves, Boy Scouts, police and ushers in red coats and white helmets added color to the scene.
 One of the most impressed spec tators was Alphonse Keilitsierk, a 25-year-old Eskimo who travelled 2,000 miles down from the Arctic to witness the churchs greatest spec tacle in Canadian history.
 In his journey from Chesterfield Inlet in the Hudson Bay diocese Keilitsierk was accompanied by an- other Eskimo, Jean Ayaruar, and Jeans son, Simon. The son, eight years old, was to have made his first communion here. but, unused to the heat of southern Canada in sum- mer, he fell i'll in Montreal and will not arrive at the Congress until tomorrow or the next day.
 The Congress will last five days.
