What’s in Fashion? More Lamps —More Decorative Directed By AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Notice how much earlier you're turning on the lights these days? That means longer evenings in the house —ir-jre time to catch up on "hat reading you've been planning ft> do all summer. All of which makes this a fine time to think about table lamps. First, whether there are enough—so all the family can read without eyestrain or glare. And second, whether these lamps are the kind that make the right decorative note in your room. The answer to question number one—Are there enough?—is probably No. And that goes for everyone, no matter how completely furnished your home is. Because it’s almost impossible these days to have enough lamps, so important a fashion have they become. Many Tables—Many Lamps * The fashion of using many small tables scattered about the room, instead of one large table as formerly, is responsible for the increased importance of table lamps. And there’s'such a big variety of decorative ones that folks use them for decoration even when they’re not necessary* for lighting. If you go into homes where money is no object and the best decorative brains in the country have been given free rein (and all of us can go into many of these

i POTTERY COLUMN LAMP

homes through the pages of the decorating magazines, at least) one of the first things you’ll notice is an abundance of lamps. Fortunately it isn’t necessary to be a millionaire to have plenty of lamps. Nor to have the same type lamps they have. Wide Range of Prices True, the materials used in the lamps most of us have can’t compare with theirs. But the actual types can be the same. Because the types of lamps most in fall fashion range in price from as little to as much as anybody wants to pay. Candle lamps are one of these types. This is the table lamp that corresponds to the candle floor lamp which is the most fashionable kind of floor lamp today. The candle lamp comes in English brass or bronze finish and is used with shades of stretched silk, pleated silk or parchment. It may be short and squatty to go with heavy furniture, or tall and slender to fit into a delicate furnishings scheme. Colorful Pottery Helps You can get smart color accents from the fashionable pottery bowl lamp. The bases come in clear colors like green, yellow, oxblood, blue and even white. The shade is usually parchment, usually with a floral pattern such as the one sketched. If you’ve gone in for eighteenth century type furniture, as so many fashionable folks have, you’ll appreciate the beauty of the classic urn lamp, now made in low priced, ranges as well as high. Pottery, china, pewter, bronze, alabaster—they’re all fashionable materials for these gracefully shaped lamps. And if you want something decidedly new, try an urn lamp in white. For white is the newest, smartest accent color. Chinese Types Fashionable Because of the fashion for Queen Anne furniture, there’s also a fashion for Chinese type lamps. In fact,

for Chinese accessories of many kinds. That’s because England was opening up trade -with China in Queen Anne’s day and Chinese things were being brought into those old-time fashionable homes. Chinese celadon lamps are a fashion in many homes today. But there’s a soft green pottery that imitates the celadon quite satisfactorily at a much lower price. Try it with a pleated shade of soft gold color silk if you want it at its smartest. Avery formal lamp—and suitable for use with formal eighteenth century furnitpre, is the directoire column damp. It’s a distinguished type, but don’t use it unless the room is formal in feeling. Less formal than this lamp, but with a directoire feeling just the same is the saucer candle lamp, fine for a small table or a desk. It’s particularly smart in pewter or in enamel finish with parchment shade. (Copyright. 1931, by Amos Parrish) Next: Amos Parrish writes on new corsets that give you the new silhouette.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DROWNED WIFE FOR PARAMOUR, CORONERHOLDS 'Other Woman’ Influenced Professor to Get Rid of Mate, Is Charge. By United Press HAMPTON, Va., Sept. 18.—Elizabeth City county authorities claimed today they had established a motive for the alleged drowning of Mrs. Jenny Graham Kane with which her husband, professor Elisha Kent Kane of the University of Tennessee, is charged. * The influence of “another woman,” who is said to have written Kane that “ a little nerve and a very little time” were all needed to "get rid” of his wife was announced as the accepted motive of the crime charged by Dr. George K. Vanderslice, coronor. The 38-year-old professor was accused of the “deliberate and premeditated murder” of his 30-year-old wife by the coroner in a verdict returned late Thursday after four days’ invesigaion of he drowning. Point to New York Woman Dr. Vanderslice announced the letters on which a large part of the case against Kane is based were signed “E. H. D.” and were believed to be from “Betty Dodd” of New York City, an employe of the transAtlantic liner America. Mrs. Kane was drowned while swimming with her husband at an isolated point on Grand View beach near here, on Sept. 11. Bond of $15,000 was set today by Circuit Judge C. Vernon Spradley for the release of Kane, who was given until 9 a. m. Saturday to make bond. The date for his preliminary hearing is expected to be set later today. Meanwhile, he was sentenced to jail where he has been held since Sunday, when his wife was buried. Kane contends that his wife accidentally drowned despite his frantic efforts to rescue and revive her when she apparently was injured by diving. Witnesses Disagree

Conflicting stories of fishermen who said they saw the drowning from a distance were presented at various sessions of the coroner's inquests. Some testified that after a “struggle” in the water with his wife, Kane carried the body to the beach and then placed it in an automobile without any apparent concern, while others said they saw him work frantically over the body of his wife trying to revive her. Other witnesses told how the professor, driving his automobile at a reckless speed, brought the body of his wife to a hospital here, where she was pronounced dead. The father of the accused man, Dr. Evans O’Neill Kane, Philadelphia surgeon, known as the first man to operate on himself for appendicitis, is here to aid in his son’s defense. Commonwealth’s Attorney Cocke admitted there is evidence to show Mrs. Kr.ne knew of the “other woman” in her husband’s life, and that the couple had been reconciled before her death.

BRITAIN IS THREATENED BY FALL IN STERLING Bank of England Warns Present Grave Situation May Be Cause. By United Press LONDON, Sept. 18.—Warning that the present grave situation in Great Britain may cause an “alarming fall in the pound sterling was given the government by the board of governors of the Bank of England, the Daily Mail said today. Precariousness of the exchange situation was said to be mainly the result of the “passive strike” of enlisted men of the Atlantic fleet and rumors of a general election. According to the Daily Mail, officials of the Bank of England requested the government to announce definitely that a general election was not contemplated soon. A cabinet meeting at which the government was said to have received the views of the Bank of England ended Thursday night without an announcement of what took place. It was understood that Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald urged an early decision for dr against a general election.

GENE DENNIS HERE TO STARTLE PEOPLE ‘Mental Marvel’ Opens Her Engagement Today at the Circle After Success in Many Other Leading Cities. GENE DENNIS, known as “America’s mental marvel,” opened a week’s engagement at the Circle today. Nine years ago Gene Dennis was a school girl in Kansas. Tales of her strange ability, her phenomenal mental and psychical powers trickled into the newspapers. Then followed a challenge by one of the eminent scientists of the country that he could expose her in fifteen minutes. The test was accepted, and instead of naming her a charlatan he was forced to admit her genuine and rare faculties.

Her career since then has been a succession of triumph after triumph over the hurdles of difficult tests and questions that have been put to her in every city on the continent. She has baffled the police in numerous cities with her uncanny knowledge of crimes that have been committed in their districts. Her assistance in dozens of cases has led to the capture and conviction of criminals. She has been the means of tracing lost property and persons. She has solved mysteries that have been thought beyond the ken of all mortal minds. But undoubtedly hers is not a normal mind. Although she can not tell how she accomplishes the seemingly incredible things she does, she states most emphatically that there is nothing supernatural about it. She will answer questions on personal matters, love, marriage, business, or even civil and national affairs. In the last three years she has received more than 2,000,000 letters, in adddition to an equal number of questions she has answered during her personal stage appearances. It’s interesting to speculate on the mysteries she will uncover and the secrets she will disclose for the questioners during her stay here. Other theaters today offer: “Monkey Business,” at the Indiana; “Phantom of Paris,” at the Palace; “Murder by the Clock,” at the Ohio; “The Bargain,” at the Circle; Violet Carlson at the Lyric; “The Greeks Had a Word for It,” at English’s; “Bad Girl,” at the Apollo, and burlesque at the Mutual. PROVES HIS SINCERITY Judge Has Himself Charged and Fined for Licence Offense. By United Press JEROME, Ariz., Sept. 18.—Judge Perry Arthur started home in his automobile, feeling he had done his duty in fining several motorists for driving cars too long with original owners’ license plates. Suddenly, the judge recalled he was guilty of the same offense. He drove to a nearby town, preferred a charge against himself, pleaded guilty before Judge L. C. Jolly and paid a $lO fine.

CHURCH TO AID JOBLESSCAUSE Episcopalians to Enter War on Unemployment. By United Press DENVER, Sept. 18.—The Episcopal church girded to enter the fight against unemployment today. The house of bishops, the house of deputies, and the women’s auxiliary of the church, which is holding its fiftieth triennial convention here, scheduled a joint meeting to study the problem of unemployment. The meeting was the only joint session of the three groups scheduled during the convention. The canon on divorce continued to occupy a major interest of the convention today. The canon forbid remarriage of divorcees on any grounds, but proposes a church annulment of marriage, whereby ecclesiastical courts would be empowered to dissolve marriages, so far as the church was concerned,' on many grounds. These would include consanguinity, lack of free consent of either party, mental deficiency, insanity, extreme youth, impotence, disease, or a previous marriage of either party. The canon is expected to precipitate a battle between conservatives and liberals among the church leaders. Squeezes Out of Jail FALLS CITY, Neb., Sept. 18.— Police looked at their jail today and considered putting in new bars.

LIGHTNING HITS G. OF G. OFFICE; SPLITSJOPINC Bolt Hurls Roof Debris to Street, Narrowly Missing Man. Fmployes of offices in the Chamber /of Commerce building went to their jobs today filled with hope that there is no exception to the adage that lightning never strikes twice in the same place. Out of a half clouded sky Thursday afternoon, a bolt ripped into a cornice of the new structure at 320 North Meridian street, tearing away bricks and stone that hurtled ten stories to the street below, and loosening blocks of stone on the coping. Thousands of persons in downtown Indianapolis, startled by the lightning, crowded around the building, jamming* traffic on Meridian street, while police squads and city firemen roped off the area in front of the structure to prevent injury from falling masonry. Employes in Panic Hundreds of employes in the building chocked the elevators as, in near panic, they deserted the place after the shock. Two telephone operators, plugging in at their switchboards when the lightning struck, suffered slight shock, but otherwise there was no personal injury resultant from the accident. O. F, Hammer, president of the Indiana Motorists’ Association, had just stepped from a drug store on ground floor of the building, when the lightning struck, and a piece of stone crashed beside him on the sidewalk. Building Is Rocked The telephone operators who felt the lightning were Miss Hazel Mockford, operator for the Chamber of Commerce on the second floor, and Miss Clementine Kissell, operator for the Indiana Inspection bureau on the eleventh floor. . Sitting perhaps nearest the point where the bolt struck was A. J. Meyer, engineer for the Indiana Inspection Bureau. “At first I thought an acetylene

torch on the new telephone building across the street flashed. Then I though of a bomb, and thought maybe it was an advertisement tor the airport dedication next week,” he Said. Virtually all persons in the building saw a bright flash, and felt minor shock as the building rocked. Damage is not expected to be great.
