"Watch Yer Step, Buddy, in a Big Town"

DLTHOIT, MICH. Suave of manner and meticulously dressed, Italo Cassettl, police sergeant attached to the New York Iilack Hand squad, came here to. take back to New York Joe Napoli, alleged slayer, said by New York police to be a leader of the Camorra. Cassettl had a return ticket to New York in his pocket and he planned to confer with Detroit police regarding the Illack Hand situation until train time. Informed that Lieut. Ilert McPhcrson, head of the Detroit Black Hand quad, was out of town and was not expected back until late in the afternoon, he decided to look the town over. At State street and Woodward avenue he was delayed when he got caught In a traflic jam. Perplexed by Husbands and Rats LANSING, MICH. If you want to know, girls, whether you are to be a success as a wife that is, be able to keep your husband contented and home nights get a nice, companionable rat or guinea pig, and find out. There is nothing so much like a husband as a rat, according to Dean Mary Sweeney, head of the women's department at the Michigan Agricultural college. Several married women, members of the M. A. C. faculty, object to the dictum. But she backs up her assertions with sound scientific datn. "A husband Is like n rat because they thrive on Identically the same diets she says. "Tor instance. If you can cook for n rat and keep Its eyes bright. Its fur smooth and its general condition good, you can do the name thing for a husband. When a husband Is contented he will stay home nights and perhaps assist with the housework. lie becomes contented when he is fed on the proper diet. If you plan to feed your husband beefSteak, corn bread or pumpkin p!e, try them first on n rat. The reactions, as manifested by the bright eyes and smooth fur, will be the same as they Clothesline Saves BROOKLYN. N. Y. Patrolman Michael I'alladlno of the Fourth avenue police station, with the aid of three knotted clotheslines, used as a lasso, saved the lives of Stanley Stanczek and four of his children, ranging in ages from two to eighteen years, who were trapped In their home at 153 Twenty-fourth street, Brooklyn, when it was swept by fire early In the rooming. Palladino was passing through Twenty-fourth street, when he saw smoke and flames. His whistle brought Srgt. Frank Lizantl. Sergeant Lizantl went in search of a ladder, but Patrolman I'alladlno believed he saw a quicker way In three short clotheslines which were strung up in the yard. Cupid Gives Father CHICAGO. Father Time and Cupid ran a race at the club meeting of widows and widowers. Two hundred men and women, ranging from forty to seventy-fi"e years of age, were young once more. The gathering, which was held In Washington park, was the result of the hard work of Miss Marcel ine Stokes, a social worker, and object matrimony. Miss Stokes Imimsed but one condition on thest who joined the Widows and Widowers club they had to athrm that they fulfilled their marriage vows and lived with their chosen mate until "death did them part." Members of the club joined because they were weary of spending their last days unloved and lonesome. "Yes," said Miss Stokes, "the club Las been a success. Already eicht marriages have resulted from our little gatherings: and many more are In the ofling." The founder has asked elal ag' mies in other cities to estaU'ish similar cluhs, YV try to hae oi:r meet Ines once every week" she said, -usually Sunday afternoon; and how they hk forward to them!

the rapid movement of street cars and automobiles, Cassettl dashed diagonally for the opposite curb. Behind him the hlRh-pltclu'd voice of the traflic officer shouted: "Hey, Ituddy, yer In a big town now, watch yer step!" At last, secureJy ensconced In a Jitney, Cassettl Rot undr way. Ills destination was readied, he !ia ruled a drvllar 1)111 to the driver. The driver gave hlra a counterfeit half dollar and sped away. A curious person with a cigarette tlaiijrlin;; from the corner of his mouth advanced toward the furious officer. "'matter, Jack? Taking wooden nickels?" asked the Inquisitive one. "These state fair visitors ouchtn he chaperoned was the comment Casettl heard the flippant person direct to a companion, as he hurried off to hide Ids mortification. At police headquarters, later, he laughingly narrated his experiences with the smooth individuals who help make up our Inland metropolis. "If I stay here much longer they'll probably steal my return ticket he confided to Lieutenant McClellan. I guess I'll go back today. True to his word he and his prisoner left the Michigan Central terminal at 3:45 p. m. for the peaceful environs of little ol NTawk. Thrive on Same Diet will be on your husband, and by the same tokens you can tell your husband is going to take to your cooking." Dean Sweeney Is advocating home economics for girls, not so much that they may become proficient teachers of domestic science as that they may learn to cook weJl for their families. That there Is something to her theory Is proven by the fact that more than 50 per cent of the girls who graduate from M. A. C. are married in from one to three years after finishing. As part of their course they experiment with rats. When they can outline a diet and cook the food that will keep a rat healthy and wise they are close to the finished product, she says. Five From Flames He ripped down the lines and after knotting them together he threw one end, which he had looped into a lasso, to Stanczek, who was standing, his children gathered about him, at a window on the tldrd floor of the burning building. Stanczek put the lasso about his youngest son, Terry, two years old, and began to lower him into the yard. Half way down the rope tangled, however, and I'alladino finally prevailed on the father to drop the rope and he caught Terry in his arms as he feU. Then I'alladino threw the rope back to Stanczek and two other sons, Benjamin and Henry, were lowered with out mishap. There was some delay after this while Stanczek argued with his old est son, Frank, eighteen, to slide down the rope before him. Frank refused until his father pointed out that he was lighter and the rope would be safer with him. Both lather and son, however, left the building via the rope without disaster, Stanczek following his ohlest son. The house was destroyed. , Tatrolman I'alladino served with the Fiftyfifth Infantry and was wounded In the Argonne. Time a Hard Race Mates in the park. Lovers' quarrels and petty jealousies are not at all unusual. Love is the same, I believe, whether It's engendered In the heart of a sixteen or a sixty-year-old." Ami, a love pirate is just as apt to be an old man as a handsome young bound?r. Miss Stokes has found. She tells this "scandal" of the club: "One old boy. nearly seventy, was a regular attendant at our meetings. He was the favorite with aJl the women ami broke up many a happy little affair. All went well until an irate little woman apieared on the scene and shouted: 'Here you are, F.zra, posing" as a widoser when you're my husband:"'

Circular Lines Noted in the New Garments for Fall.

Stitcheries Accentuate the Flaring Outlines; Cape Effects in Evidence in Sleeves. Among th? s-uits and coats which have been added to the original early fall collection of one New York house are several which make a point of the. flared accent, observes a fashion correspondent. These effects are not produced in a flagrant manner, but In the same easy fashion that characterizes all the productions of this house. Lovely soft fabrics of the pile family are chosen In the makeup of a great many of the garments, with the finest quality velvet employed in the instance of the more dressy type of wrap or suit. Stitcheries are utilized to advantage on several of the coats and suits, the design In many Instances following the outline of a sleeve or of an Interestingly cut side, back or front section, in the Instance of the flare mode, the lines of stitchery are applied In such a manner as to accentuate this effect. Many of the models are derivations of Imports. One coat Is conspicuous for the original handling which has been given the sleeves. Cape sides falling from the shoulders to the waistline almost entirely conceal the sleeves. Sable fitch Is the fur choson to fashion the collar for this coat. One of the most striking numbers is a Jenny coat for evening wear developed In American Beauty chiffon velvet, the fronts treated with alternate bands of mole and gold brocade, the color scheme being most effective. A wide fold of the maTHOUGHT FOR EARLY AUTUMN Mi iz I i -r. H 51 '..:. .T .".:. This costume for early fall suggests a skirt slightly longer than the current mode. Soutache braiding and dull gold fringe combine smartly for the 6imply cut navy serge. SEPARATE SKIRT In Various Combinations of Blouses, Garment Serves to Make Different Costume. We have gone all around the cycle, and are back to the separate skirt again. Some declare that sport clothes are responsible for the return of the separate skirt, but women generally will welcome this old friend, no matter who or what Is responsible for the vogue. This has been a season of sweaters wool and silk and sleeveless; and for wear with these garments, skirts have been fashioned from tlannel, when the severely tailored type demanded, bu1 mostly from silk of, every conceivable weave and color. The skirts, were never so attractive, both In design and material, to say nothing of comfort. The silken styles of the summer season give way to those of fall, and If one doubts the popularity of the summer styles, one has but to look at the skirts for fall showing, and she will see all the old friends, fashioned in new materials. Plaids that were used earlier In the nine have siven way to stripes, and every kind of stripe that could originate in the brain of man has resulted. Roman, pin, blazer, ein bioidery, herring bone, and others too numerous to mention, all are here, and plaited to bring the darker stripe Into prominence. Combinations of plaits, yct, are used to vary the monotony of the plaited Idea. Large and small plaits In combination with the knife variety are to be found In the same skirt, and often the material will be It own combination, the bottom of the

The same material in the same color fashions a delectable suit, the skirt section of the jacket adopting a circular contour, accentuated by the application of self cords. Sumptuous gray fox in generous manner makes the collar and cults.

THE CRAZE FOR MONKEY FUR The craze for monkey fur still is. at its height after two years. Here Is a Parisian coat of Astrakhan which is trimmed most modishly and expensively with monkey fur. The new style in fur is to have a comparatively small armhole and snuglyfitting sleeve. TO HAVE LINGERIE RIBBONS Novelty May Be Crocheted From Pale Pink, Blue or White Mercerized Crochet Cotton. Lingerie "ribbons" crocheted from pale pink, blue or white mercerized crochet cotton are inexpensive, wash well, and keep soft and flat after laundering Make a chain the length required, allowing something for working up. At the end of the chain, turn and make a single crochet in the tenth chain from the needle. Then make four chains and fasten them down with a single crochet in the fifth stitch along the original chain, and continue doing this orr and over apraln until yon are back to the start of the original chain. This gives a double row of chains fastened together in every fifth stitch dainty and durable for threading lingerie, (lift sets may be made with the ends finished with tiny balls crocheted of the cotton. A Distinctive Blouse. White crepe de chine and white georgette in combination fashion a blouse in the waist line. The blouse proper is, developed in georgette, the heavier fabric forming a panel at the front as well as the Peter Pan collar. Contrast is afforded in the slim strands of cire ribbon which hold the fullness at the sides. Yellow and Henna Shades. Yellow and henna shades lead In trimmings. STILL IN VOGUE garment fashioned so that the stripes run around Instead of up and down, forming a borderSeparate skirts of Roshanara crepe, made tunic fashion, are to be had for afternoon affairs and to be wom with georgette blouses, and most of the barred silks that found favor for sports attire are to be had in the darker shades for fall. The separate skirt has one advantage, In that various combinations of blouses serve to make a different costume. Belts and Sashes. A new slogan might be, "It Is the belt that makes the gown," for In many instances all else is plain, aijd the winding around the waist becomes the center of the design of the whole frock. All sorts of fancy ribbons and brocades are brought Into play for this form of decoration. Then there are cords galore, and strings of beads and metals to be used for girdles. Anyone of them Is a thing of beauty all bv itself, and Its association with tfi I gown brings both into relief with a I fascination one cannot fall to appreci- ! ate. For the Top Coat. No substitute has been found for the camel's hair polo coat, and those outer coverings will continue to be a feature of the fall v.ardroles. Several new shades are being developed, however, and heaver, opossum and caracul and other furs will be used for collars and cuffs. A new Scotcli camel's hair coat comes In gray, tau and some high shades.

LENIN NOT RUSSIAN CHIEF Bolshevik Exponent Is Premier, Michael Kalinin Being President of Central Executive Committee. Most Americans believe that Nikolai Lenin is president of Russia, whereas he holds an office which corresponds to that of the I.ritish premier. Michael Kalinin, a peasant, for more than two years has been president of the AllKusslan Central Executive committee. His position is only about as politically powerful as that of the French president, and, whereas the French executive's position is mostly social, thj Russian president Is mediator, champion and political adviser of the peasant masses of Russia. Kalinin's office in Moscow Is not in the Kremlin, but in an ordinary office building in the heart of the city. It is the one place in Russia where no "papers" are demanded when one enters and no guards stand about the doors. Her Choice.
