POLICE LOOKING
FOR PARTNERS
BANK BANDITS
SEATTLE, Sept. 30. (JP)—Police are
looking for accomplices of the bandits
who took sixty-four hundred dollars
from the Queen City Bank. The men
who were captured are T. H. Johnson,
Nanimo bank robbery suspect, James
Fanning, alias William McCarthy, who
escaped from Santa Clara, California
jail on August 12, and James Kendall,
of Chicago.
Johnson denied complicity with the
robbery saying he was out for a walk
when the bandits automobile wreck
ed, and hid because he didn’t want to
be found in the neighborhood. Ken
dall said he was crossing the street
when struck by the bandit’s car which
broke his leg. Fanning confessed to
the robbery saying Johnson and he en
tered the bank, scooped up the money
while Kendall stayed with the car.
All the money was recovered.
JEWELS MADE
. OF RUBBER LATE
SEASIDE FAD
LONDON, Sept. 30. (Jp)—Rubber
jewels! Earrings, bracelets, rings,
necklaces and pendants—of rubber!
This is the very latestj of English sea
side resorts. For rubber rules the
bathing beach.
At first, before the effect of the de
lusion is dispelled it is disconcerting
to see women assembled at the water’s
edge at the fashionable bathing hour
of 11, dressed apparently exactly as
they were when fox trotting the pre
vious night. For all the world the
beach looks like a ballroom, and more
than one spectator has decided he is
looking upon a group of sleep-walkers!
Actually English modistes have de
creed that next season’s bathing dres
ses shall look like ball gowns. So they
are making sleeveless models, cut
with fashionable “godet,” are made
of rubberized satin. They are so sup
ple and scanty that they can be fold
ed up like a handkerchief and carried
in a handbag.
The costume includes a cloak of fine
rubbered material generously collar
ed with clipped rubber to simulate fur,
dainty sandals of gold and silver-rub
bered satin, a rubber scarf and vanity
bag and—rubber jewels.
Bathing caps are prettier and more
fantastic than ever, and look as tho
their designers were thinking of a
masked ball. Pointed gold-tipped
* crowns flash in the sun, Punchinello
hats hobnob with demure Dutch bon
nets and Folly caps tinkle with real
bells. But the English smart society
has gone even further than this.
None of them look shivery and pink
eyed—however cold the water and
however long the swim. Everyone of
them now takes to the beach a rub
ber bag filled with water-proof cos
i^etics. Among these is an eyebrow
and eyelash pencil whose effects the
salt water cannot spoil, and a special
lotioYi of which the principal ingredient
is the white of an egg—which leaves
a powderly bloom upon the face which
the seawater does not impair.

MITCHELL PUTS
ALL BLAME ON
NAVAL HEADS
WASHINGTON. D. C., Sept. 30. (/P)
—Before the Aircraft Board. Mitchell
placed the responsibility of the Shen
andoah disaster, and the failure of the
PN No. 9 to reach Hawaii, directly on
the heads of the navy department.
He said the sending of the Shenan
doah to the middle west was “a direct
violation of the law,” because in peace
land activities belong to the army.
Arrangements for the PN No. 9, said
Mitchell, looked like the work of some
“bungling amateurs.”
General Mitchell severely criticised
the work of arranging equipment for
the navy contingent accompanying the
MacMillan expedition, declaring flag
rant mistakes were made. These three
aeronautical, events made it impossi
ble for airmen to remain silent, said
the General.
He also charged the Shenandoah
was not equipped with parachutes.
“This,” said Mitchell, “is like sending
a ship to sea without lifeboats.” He
said engineering data showed the PN
9 could not reach Honolulu without re
fueling enroute, and also that the air
planes sent to the Arctic were built
for the tropics and along the Atlantic
coast, yet officers in charge expected
them to give satisfactory service.
