Amateur Sleuth Shot Down and Slain
In Attempting To Make First Arrest
OTHER YOUTH !N SHOOTING AF
FRAY SAYS TRAVAGLINE
HAD ROBBED HIM
BOSTON. Mass., Mar. 16.—A cor
respondence school detective is dead
at IS years old. On his body was
his badge and beside him his gun
when he was found in Boston with
two bullets in his brain. His train
ing cost him his life.
For three days George Travagline
lived at the home of a bootlegger
watching the home of another Italian
tvho had also been in court for ped
riling liquor.
Sallying forth, lie met Joseph H.
Statsky, the son of the other Ital
ian, flashed his badge, pulled his
gun, and was dropped with two steel
tipped bullets in his brain. A slug
is in the shoulder of the alleged
slayer.
Statsky says he was held up and
robbed of $In. He was carrying a
bundle when held up, he says. In the
bundle was aD accordion needing re
pairs. The police say his bundle
was not an accordion, but rum.
WOMEN BECOME
DAREDEVILS TOO:
THE FAIR SEX HAVE PROVED I
THEIR METTLE TIME AFTER
TIME.
RUTH LAW IS ONE EXAMPLE
Slender Miss Made Spectacular Non
Stop Flight from Chicago to New
York Back In Days When
Flying Was Dangerous.
CHICAGO, II.. Mar. 16.-—Men can
not “hog” all the honors when it comes
to doing something that requires real
| nerve and courage. Take the case of
i Ruth Law. for instance.
It was away back in 1916 that this
brave young woman made her specta
cular non-stop airplane flight from
Chicago to New York City. It was
risky and dangerous and adventurous
business flying in those days.
Everybody thought it was extraor
j dinary that the flight of 884 miles
; should be accomplished by a slender
women not yet 28 years old. She made
the flight in a 100-liorsepower two-year
| old biplane of an almost obsolete
make.
Then there is Miss Hilda Hechle,
who has gained much prominence for
her painting of life in the Alps. She
lives high in the mountains and only
comes down to a village for a supply
of food and drink.
One of the famous women w'ho faced
wrild adventure and unknown perils in
a somewhat different way was Mrs.
Rosita Forbes, who encountered ev
erything from the wild tribes of Tax
tary to the wild sheiksr of the Arabian
desert.
Peggy Thayer, of Philadelphia went
to Africa last year in search of thrills
and l-efused to let even a severe at
tack of typhoid turn her back. She
found other thrills, too,, w'hen she took
to the wilds.
Mrs. .Hamilton Rice, formerly Mrs.
George B. Widener, one of Philadel
phia’s most prominent society women,
has forsaken her palatial home so she
can accompany her explorer-husband
“Let’s Go to California”
■riVERY DAY some tired, prosperous or otherwise
** travel-inclined man says to his wife, ‘‘Let's go to
California.” And such is the power of advertising
that, although neither of them may ever have been
there before, they know just how to go, approxi
mately what it will cost and where they want to stay.
The same with anything you may need or want.
You already know about, by whom it is made, what
it costs, and where it is for sale. Advertising is a
modern form of an intelligence department. It keeps
you informed, advises you of new things, suggests
new uses for articles you already own, and prepares
you today for wise and useful purchases tomorrow.
•aBiirancii - i &
It does all this for you, almost unconsciously, dur
ing the half-hour or so you spend each day with your
newspaper. Little by little—the best and surest
way to learn—advertising makes you informed of
what is going on in the world that is useful to you.
Read the Advertisements. Get Ready
for Tomorrow

They have penetrated deep into the
jungles of South America, dodging boa
constrictors and jaguars, risking fever
and death from unfriendly natives, but *
ejoing farther and farther into the un
explored regions.
America has had a number of dar
ing fliers other than Ituth Law. There
are several women aviators who
spend their time going about the
country offering thrills to the popu
lace at carnivals and country fairs. 1
Last year at the fair at Dayton, O.,
the charming Mrs. C. 'H. Howells, of
Clarion. Pa., flying her own plane, was
as daring as any of her daredevil male
confreres. .
Mrs. Howells did back somersaults,
headlong nose dives, and loop-the
loops with the best of them. And
when it was all over the crowd dis
covered she is a widow and the moth
er of two delightful little girls, four
and five years old.
But what’s all this to a sex who can
bring down a raging rhinoceros with
a single shot as the lovely duchess of
York did one day just recently. The
duchess whom the world knows as
a daredevil woman beats her husband
a shooting every day.
GIRLS WEAR 'EM SHORT IN
PARIS; THEY’RE PAINTING
EARS; CURLING EYELASHES
NEW YORK, Mar. 16.—Skirts
above the knees, curled eyelashes
and red ears are the latest Paris
modes, New York has just been in
formed.
Some of the passengers returning
on the Olympic the other day had
skirts reaching only to their knees.
Mrs. Bertram Parker, European fash
ion editor of a New York publica
tion, a passenger, was asked if these
were fair samples of the Parisian
designers’ latest.
“What? Those skirts?” she asked.
“Why, they’re way down tQ the
knees. In Paris they are above the
knees.”
Miss Nina Boldbin, speaking be
fore the Master Hairdressers’ associ
ation convention, said the new Pari
sian makeup reddened ears and nos
trils, blue or brown lidded eyes and
eyelashes with decided curls.
