T'alted flounces are ummI on sleeves i.y s'uie panels and as tunics. An effective mode is the hanging of, iooe panels from a low waist line, j Swagger coats have high-buttoned; necks and narrow fitted shoulders. j Anions new fabrics for evening are; sell-tone brocades and headed nets, j 1 aUlettes In square and oblong shapes are in much demand for eveniii. po-.vns.

Austin. Tex. For the last three years Dr. T. 11. (Sarth, professor erf psychology of the University of Texas, has been making tests of the mental capacity of the Indian, the negro and the Caucasian. These investigations have brought to light the fact, he says. that the American Indian has as alert a mind as w hite people. He recently I spent some time among the Indians of New Mexico and Oklahoma, carrying on his tests. In Oklahoma. Doctor Garth visited' the Chiloeco Indian Training school, which is supjorted by the government, and which offers instruction to Indian children through the tenth grade. He also visited an Indian school in Albuquerque. N. M.. which has Indian students from both New Mexico and Arizona. "In all I tested about 1,X) Indians, something over half of whom were full -blood, the re-; running from orteeishth to fifteen sixteen lis Indian." he s:iid.

"I have tried this color test among college students." said Doctor Garth, "and blue is the color preferred first. Psychologists consider the selection of blue as a sign of Intelligence. When I tried the riddle test. I thought surely the Indians would find a stumbling block, but they answered readily, and after the test was over one of the Indian girls came up to ask me a riddle."

SL100TII CROOKS STEAL BILLIONS Small Investors Robbed of Savings by Bunco Men.

GENERAL CLEAN-UP PLANNED Rigid Probe Being Made of Bucket Shop Activities by Federal AuthoritiesPoor Widows and Orphans Among the Victims of Slick Stock Salesmen Many Have Lost Every Cent of Life's Savings to Ruthless Money Sharks. More than $G),000,000 has been swindled from American Investors by slick; stock salesmen during the last four- years, according to ollicials who are engaged in a nation-wide probe of bucUet-shoi'S and fake stock propositions. Most of this money, it was said, was mulcted from poor widows ami working men, who entrusted their savings of years into the hands of smooth sharpers. With federal agents taking u hand, and full co-operation promised by Attorney General Daugherty, a general clean-up of illegal stock transactions Is seen by oiilcials who are pushing prosecutions against the alleged brokers. While New York city leads in the prosecution of bucket-shop promoters in the present nation-wide clean-up rnmnalcn. there are a total of 4S0 cases in f ederal courts, according to Attorney General Daugherty, in which 874 persons have been arrested or Indicted. Not Confined to Brokers. Most of the cases, the attorney general explained, were fake oil stock companies, although the swindling schemes ranged from bucket-shops and mining stocks to patent "elephanteatchet"" promotions,. Ulch harvests are reapod by swindlers, he asserted, because people do not take pains to Investigate what they put their money Into. The Department of Justice, Mr. Daugherty continued, comes Into the prosecution of such crises through violation of the postal laws In the use of ,ii y.r .. 1 1... ! J .1... tue mans to ueiniuu, out m- muh huh in his opinion the matter was one for täte action. A conference of state I blue-skv law commissioners, he snggested, should draft a uniform law carrying n uniform punishment for stock swindlers. He said also he believed in more stringent laws by the states ami heavier penalties In such cases. Missouri Led In Victims. Quoting from his reports, Mr. Daugherty said the Northern district of Missouri led in the amount involved in Pentling fake stock cases, with a total of $.'U,7i'.,tH)0. The attorney general estimated that $o.rX,oX) had been sunk in the Florida F.vergladcs land scheme, in which most of the Investors bought water Instead of earth for their cash outlays. More than 100.000 persons have been victimized by bucket-shop operators In New York city alone in the last year, according to an estimate by District Attorney Hanton. The victims range from the poor and uninitiated to the moderately wealthy and well Informed, who probably would not have fared as badly as they did had not the stock market been so favorable to operations of the bucketeers. Reputable Brokers In Arms. Ofliclals of the New York Stock exchange and the Consolidated exchange are co-operating in the efforts to "clean up Wall street." Reputable brokers welcomed the Inquiry as a means of ridding the financial district of a longstanding evil. Scores of bucketeers are under arreat, released on heavy bail, or have left for parts unknown. Many firms, after yoing through bankruptcy and then opening offices again, are dosing up rapidly. Hooks and documents of many of the bankrupt firms have been seized, showing the fleecing has been widespread. Many of those who have related their experiences to the d.sitriet altnr ney's office are persons of Mn::!l means who could ill afford to lose their savings. Some of the manipulators;, mas querading as bon:i-tide brokerage houses, used Ponzi methods, accord j jn g to the investigators. A favorite scheme, it was said, was to lull the unsuspecting Investor into a state of security by paying him cash dividends for a time. The bucket-shop operati. would explain to the investor when he bought bonds that coupons were not Issued because this would ini . t . . . i oi uiiiiecessa oooKKeepui;, Afur receiving dividends for a month or two ! the investor would seek out Ids "broker," only to learn that he had disap-

Many women are among the victims . of smooth stock salesmen and Uieketshop "scouts." In the majority of cases, however, the women, while j wanting the sharpers prosecuted, do j not want to be drawn Into the case as j

witnesses because they do not want their husbands to know that they hae been "playing the market Many persons who had worked ceaselessly .foe years at small wages have lost every cent of their life savings to the ruthless money sharks. Families have been left in want and privation.'. Widows have innocently given their all to the bucketeers, expecting to reap a cozy income for the remainder oL their lives, only to. lose - their incomes and now stand on the brink of starvation. A Janitress told the district attorney that she drew from the bank her entire life savings, amounting to .SI,!', to give to three men who were forming a brokerage concent and who promised to buy her stocks v.! K-li would pay big dividends. A few !ajs later the firm failed and the woman learned the three men had added her mite to the sum they had fleeced elsewhere and then left the country. A policeman told of losing his S.'l.tMi nesteg, which was invested in slock paying 7 per cent, when he turned it over to a bucket-sln-p which guaranteed to pay him 1U per cent. One man told the district attorney he dropped in eight months in deals which he discovered too late were crooked. Many investors were placated, ac cording to the investigators, when the bucket-shop operators sent ijhem sale confirmation slips showing that stock actually lind been ordered from a reputable concern in the financial district. The swindlers would then sell the stock, pocket the money and disappear from their temporary oMlces. Spent Money Lavishly. Iucket-shop operators spent money lavishly, although In many cases they began business with little or nothing, sometimes paying the first month's rent from proceeds from the initial "suckers." Sums obtained from nth ers ostensibly for legitimate invest ments were devoted to the purchase, or rental, of line olllce furniture. A "ticker" wnsf installed,- -the - bucket eers fitted out with automobiles, and the "firm" was on the high road to llnan dal success until a wary investoi caused the "brokers' to leave for Kr unknown. The stock exchange of Detroii Mich., has declared war tin the bucket shops. Jacob Nathan, president of tin i (.T(.i,..n,, " ..1,1 th.t tbn 4,i-.,.,,,iy.,i h.. IlunmliatHy wouItI 1la(.0 !nVestigatoi in the field to get accurate data on tin extent of the operations of bucketshops there, and that the assistance of the state banking and securities com mission had been pledged In the cam palpi It Is proposed to launch. lTose cutlons will be Instituted wherever il Is possible, Mr. Nathan said. Other cities are following the ex ample of Detroit and a determined ef fort is being made from coast to coast to stamp out the bucket-shop evil an! to drive'from the country, or place be j hind the bars, the smooth stock sales men who have defrauded thousands of persons out of their entire savings. HATCHED IN HIS POCKET Kentucky Man Placed Egg in His Pec ket and Forgot It. Robert 2S. Porter, a Paris, Ky., busi ness man, told of an unusual occui rence, the truth of which he vou-he for. He said Charles Maditison a NIcho las county farmer, was sitting in th lobby of the Paris court house nea a radiator which was giving heat a' full blast. Madison, with an exdam ation of surprise, suddenly reache into the pocket of his heavy orcoa and found there was a newly hatche chicken. As he pulled the fluffy bal out of his pocket be and those wh surrounded him were astonished. Tin chick was alive and chirping. Madison said to those who ran h from every direction as the word passetl that he had placed the egg ii his pocket more than a week ago n had forgotten it. The warmth of tin pocket and the heat of the radiatoj had caused the chicken to hatch. Madi son then drew from his pocket th shell of the egg from which the chick en had emerged. The farmer presented the chlcket to Deputy Sheriff Glrson of Paris who will attempt to raise the fowl. Sir Arthur Keith, the RritNh anthropologist, announces that tin !..:' Ilsh face is changing. Centuries a - when food was tough. It seems ;...r, the English jaw was big. strittig square, and firm; but today the Jaw is narrowing, and as a consequence the shape of the face Is being altered altogether. This Is serious news for the Kngllrh ctiric: turits. who have 1 always represented John Rull as not only square-headed, but square-Jawed al;c. The French caricaturist, who loved to depict him with a ianteni face, may claim to have beea a prophet as well as an artist.

Jut Folks By EDGAR A, GUEST EVERYWHERE IN AMERICA. Not somewhere in America, but everywhere today. Where snow-crowned mountains hold their heads, the vales where children play, Reside the beuch and whirring lathe, on every lake and stream And in the depths of earth below, men share a common dream, The dream our brave forefathers had of freedom and of right. And once again in honor's cause, they

rally and unite. Not somewhere in America Is love of country found Rut east and west and north and south once more the bugles sound And once again, as one, men stand to break their brother's chains. And make the world a better place, where only justice reigns. Hie patriotism that Is here, is echoed over there The hero at a certain post Is on guard everywhere. O'er humble home and mansion rich the starry banner flies And far and uear throughout the land the men of valor rise.
