Dragged Behind Auto From Jail;
Body Set On Fire

SIKESTON, Mo. = A critically
wounded Negro, suspected of the
attempted assault of a white wo-
man, was taken from the city Jail
today by a mob of more than 800,
which dragged him through the
Negro district and then set the
body afire.
Harold Wallace, assistant chief
of police, identified the mob victim
as Cleo Wright, 30-year-old cotton
mill worker.
He said Wright admitted he had
stabbed and critically wounded
Mrs. billiard Sturgeon, 20, wife of
an army sergeant, and after his
capture had stabbed Hess Perrig-
an, a patrolman. In turn, Peril
gan shot Wright three times.
Mob Heartless
Several hours after the Negro
had been placed in the detention
room of the city Jail, the mob be-
gan gathering. At 1870 a. m. they
forced the front and west doors of
the city hall and grabbed their
victim.
David e. Blanton, Scott county
prosecutor, attempted to reason
with the crowd, but he was thrust
aside.
Wright offered no resistance and
said nothing. He was stuffed into
the trunk compartment of motor
car and taken to the Negro dis
trict, where he was dragged
through the streets behind an au-
tomobile. Later the body was cut
loose and gasoline applied.

Your Government Asks
That You Order Coal Now
BY IRENE NJ. HAWKINS

HAVE YOU ordered your
next winters coal yet?
The office of the Bituminous
Coal Consumers Council urges
that you do so at once. There's
plenty Of coal, they tell US, but
transportation will become more
and more of a problem as rail-
roads are used 10 transport
troops, food and war materials.
To buy coal now is not hoard
ing, but wisdom and foresight
:. the government wants home
owners TO buy coal now when
the railroads can move it. They
want a steady shipment of coal
during April, May. June, July
and August not next Oc-
tober when it may be impossible
10 move il.
War comes first home
owners may have to wait 4.
and there will be many heatless
days unless -. you order now.
Clear the tracks for war
shipments -. buy coal NOW.

Not Unpatrio+ic to Buy
Cosmetics as Needed
BY IDA JEAN KAHN

ON THE surface Of things,
cosmetics seem frivolous during
war times. And right now a lot
of questions are being asked.
The patriotic women want 10

buy and the unpatriotic ones
wonder if they should lay in a
supply. Should women make
their own products, and are cos
metics necessary 10 morale?
Being a strong believer in
beauty from the health angle
rather than a veneer of paint
and powder, / was inclined TO
think that perhaps we could do
with quite a bit less. Then 1

that she had gone with another

NET FROCKS always bios

season the nets come with a bit
Of glitter. A shower of sequins,
as in Anne Shirley's yellow
frock, is popular.
Another idea is introduced in
the net evening gown Bonita

frock is trimmed with rows and
rows of ruffles, each bound with
a tiny thread of silver, woven
into the very edge of the net.

AT PRESENT. the field offers
hats of white pique. Rumor says
more types later, but these are
quite satisfying. Can you think
OF a more pert topnotcher over
a linen suit than the sketched

And how about the sloop-
brimmed picture hat, crowned In
a crocheted mesh, with your
dimity dresses or your Sunday
go-to-meeting sheers? Pique has
a way of looking cool and crisp
even when the temperature
scars above 100.
Add a pair OF white cotton
gloves, the shorties that evade
any bulkiness about the wrist.
Rinse them out at night. don
them in the morning, in all
their cleaning spotlessness.
FOR A HANDBAG, we de-
serted the cotton group. Hand
bags are usually difficult 10
launder-even those made OF
linen or pique. for they require
ironing and assembling. Our
choice is plastic, lined with a
printed oil silk thus wash
able inside and out.
To allow for flexibility, little
plastic squares are fitted but
not attached together. The bags
come in plain white. or white
combined with other colors in
diagonal and checkerboard pat
terms. Large sizes cost 50, the
smaller ones 1895.
Our tale is finished. We have
frosted the cotton costume, just

No Shortage

There will be no shortage.
And you need not worry about
getting the same quality. You
will. Just have faith in Ameri-
can ingenuity! The only changes
viii be in the packaging. Less
cardboard and paper will be
used.
There are ways of saving on
cosmetics and every WON n
should avail herself of these. If
YOU have a good lipstick case,
keep it and have it refilled.
1t is not good taste TO use
too much makeup now-for that
matter, it never has been! To
make your powder 60 further,
set the powder box in a tray
so that which is spilled will not
be wasted.
But don't get the idea that
YOU can save by making your
own cosmetics and try 10 whip
up a batch of cold cream in your
salad bowl! 1t not only costs
more in the long run, but is
unsatisfactory.

It's Cotton
For Spring
Accessories
BY JOAN DEAN

WE AREN'T thinking OF the
tempting cotton candy that cost
q dime at circuses and amuse-
ment parks the cloud-like
fluff that tasted like so much
sugared gauze. Instead. we term
these accessories cotton candy,
because they do to a spring
wardrobe what frosting does for
a chocolate cupcake.
Fashion may be made appetiz-
ing, Just as well as food. And
that's exactly what Is accom-
pliShed by starchy white accents.
They bolster up a costume; give
Il new interest. Whether the
garb is green or brown or sky
blue pink, white will harmonic.
Now that cotton is reaching
a new high in versatility. play
ing the lead in everything from
coats TO hosiery, it's only fitting
that the accessories be cotton.
too. In summary. the issue
stands we want white and

Baking Hint

DON'T FORGET, the time
shown for baking in most
recipes is based on ingredients
at room temperatures when
mixed and placed in the oven.
If you keep ingredients in the
refrigerator until just before
using, they'll need longer baking.

Don't Hoard
DR.. Emil Klarman, an au-
thority on the production OF fine
cosmetics, assures women that
no materials needed for the war
effort will go into the making of
cosmetics and that it is not I'M
patriotic TO buy what you need.
But, as TO whether or not
women should lay in a supply,
the answer is an emphatic NO.
Cosmetics are perishable. They
will not keep long. Putting in
supply is not necessary and ii
is not patriotic.
Chemists are finding alter
mates for the ingredients that
are being used for war mate
rails. Most of the ingredients
are not irreplaceable. That goes
for perfumes. powder, lipsticks,
nail polishes, and, in short, all
cosmetics.
