Soft, deep, downy-these good looking coats do a smart job of keeping you warm. Yet they're unusually light-never a burden no matter how long you wear them. Their rich fabric, blended of Alpaca, Mo hair and wool on a firm foun- dation of long, staple cotton for extra strength, is abso- lutely weather-proof, and keeps it's soft, creaseless beau- ty under all conditions. QuaI- ity lined with Earl -Glo rayon. A host of becoming new colors: red, green, brown, nat ural and navy.

Skeleton case" took on a now
you-see-it-now-you-don't aspect to-
day, following a weekend visit to

Bradshaw.
SBI Chief Tom Creekmore said
that Bradshaw reported that at
about the time the skeleton is pre-
sumed to have been buried (Sep-
TENDER or October 1942) near Will
m1ngton, a man came to the New
Hanover sheriff's office bringing
a picture of his wife whom he said
was missing.
The man never returned, Brad
shaw reported, and officers found
he had moved when they went to
his cabin. The mans name was
unknown, as the clerk handling
the case has entered the armed
services.
Bradshaw brought back the pic
ture, however, and Creekmore said
II bears a resemblance to the re-
construction of the skeletons skull
made by Mrs. Gladys Curry, Bos-
ton plastic surgeon.
Creekmore said the reconstruct
cd skull had been identified err
roneously as that of a Mrs. Cecil
Nix. who has been found alive,
but that other "angles" Of the
case are being investigated.
