Yes, very charming
indeed because there
will be no forced misfit.
No woman will have to
wear an unbecoming
model just to be stylish.
Turbans, medium shapes
and wide sailors are all
In favor, so there's a
model for every type.
There's not even the
suggestion of over-trim
ming on these hats of
ours. They are most
gracefully plain In ap
pearance and where em
bellishments have been
put on. perfect .judgment
has sanctioned their
use.

man, alleged "lure" in the blackmail
ing of Edward P. West, of Chicago, a

mally arrested yesterday on a warrant
charging her with conspiracy.
She is made a co-defendant with
Homer T. French, Oeorge Irwin and
"Doc" Brady, who have been named
in similar warrants. Miss Godman
is charged with having induced West,
a widower, to take her to New York
and with having entrapped him in a
hotel, so her confederates, posing as
government agents, could arrest them
on fake Mann act charges. Ball for
Miss Godman was fixed at $25,000.
Vampires Are Now at
Work on R. R. Trains
New York, Sept. 29.—A blackmail
ing scheme reported to be in operaUon
on railroads crossing State lines by
which attractive women swindle male
travelers with the aid of men con
federates, Is being investigated by spe
cial agents the department of jus
tice, it was disclosed here.
Information of the swindle was sent
anonymously to John C. Knox, assist
ant district attorney, who is In charge
of the "blackmail syndicate" cases In
New York and other cities.
The Informant told Knox that while
traveling recently from Portland, Ore.,
to St. Louis, he was nearly trapped by
one of the women and afterward
learned from a Pullman porter that
the "badger game" was being played
by women traveling regularly on that
line.
Suggestion For Hotel Name
Come From Indian Country
From White Eagle, Okla., on an In
dian reservation known as Ponca
Agency, comes a letter suggesting a
name for Harrisburg's new hotel. C.
L. Zimmerman, M. D., a former mem
ber of the Telegraph staff, at present
a doctor in the United States Indian
Service, writes the following letter to
the Tolegiaph, addressed to the editor
in-chief:
"Dear Friend: As apparently every
one has suggested or thought of a
name for the new million-dollar hotel,
and as no one has suggested the name
'Federal Square Hotel,' I would con
tribute that as my choice.
"The name is synonymous with the
thought of force, strength and magni
tude. The traveling public would not
need to be directed, as the name would
locate It, and the new hotel will un
doubtedly be the homo of all govern
i ment officials and will assume a semi
j official distinction.
"Yours respectfully, with best wishes,
"C. L. ZIMMERMAN. M. D."
Many other suggestions have come
In to this office from day to day,
among them Wayne G. Snyder's choice
"The Hotel Commerce," in honor
of the Chamber of Commerce; C. P.
Daley's "New Era;" Mrs. Josephine
Sanders' "Hotel Superior," and Mrs.
Vera bong's "The Cap-O-Penn,"' sig
nilicant of the capital of Pennsylvania.
Anonymous communications are
many and \aried and one who signs
himself or herself "D. A. H." would
suggest that the new hotel be named
for the three $50,000 men, "The Wal
tradrup" or "The Trawaldrup."

Britain Supplying Ships
With 18-Inch Naval Guns
Washington, Sept. 29. Battle
ships equlppe'i with eighteen-mcn
guns, three inches bigger than any
now afloat and two inches greater
than the largest guns projected for
the new battleships and battle cruisers
to be added to the American Navy,
are under construction In Great
Britain, according to unofficial ad
vices which are given credence by
naval officials here.
The big weapons are designed prim
arily, officials believe, for use against
land fortifications. The sixteen-inch
guns to be put on the four American
battleships for which bids will be
opened next, month, they declare, have
a range sufficient to make them ef
fective as far as an enemy can be seen,
even under the most favorable cir
cumstances. For this reason they do
not believe employment of larger and
more unwieldy types would be prac
ticable against the shifting targets of
an open sea engagement, however ad
vantageous they might be against land
fortifications. Fourteen-inch or six
teen-inch guns can be carried in
greater number and fired with greater
rapidity.
As a means of developing floating
forts, however, which could throw
great projectiles into land fortifica
tions out of sight over the horizon,
the reported British venture In battle
ship construction is regarded by ord
nance experts here as having great
possibilities. They estimate that
shells weighing nearly 3000 pounds
could be used effectually.
The largest guns carried now by
any naval vessel, so far as shown by
records here ,are the tifteen-lnch
rifles mounted on soma of the latest
British, German and Italian battle
ships. The largest on any American
ship are those of the fourteen-lnch
type carried by the Pennsylvania and
vessels of her class.
HEAVY FROSTS IN WEST

WIDOW TO FILL PULPIT

rioting or unlawful assembly. All

leased on their own recognizance.
Judge Xewc.omb asserted that there
were a lot of poor men among the
prisoners and that he could see no
reason for them paying $lO and costs.
He declared they had suffered enough
since being thrown Into jail. The dis
trict attorney agreed with the court
and county solicitor John R. Edwards,
appearing for the sheriff, also agreed.
Court Sentences Children
to Study Traffic Ordinance
Long Beach, Cal., Sept. 29. Six
children "sentenced" in the police
court here for violating the traffic
regulations have buckled down to
their punishment • that of memor
izing the city's traffic ordinance,
which contains approximately 6.000
words. They are under orders to re
turn In two weeks prepared to recite
j the ordinance before Judge Carl V.

Frequent violations of the traffic
, regulations by children necessitated

passengers were alighting, "cutting"
street corners for speeding.
"Pasted" by Pastry,
Wife Wants Divorce
San Francisco. Sept. 29. Albert

Expect Total Contributions
to Doable $29,000,000
Washington. D. C., Sept. 2 9. —So
many contributions for relief of Euro
pean war sufferers have become known
since the Carnegie Peace Foundation
last week reported the total American
contributions nearly $29,000,000 that
tho foundation lias ordered a new
compilation, which will be made im
mediately. It would create no surprise
here if the total should be found to be
double that reported by the Carnegie
Foundation, which included no funds
contributed since March 1.
During the last week there have
been received scores of letters from
individuals and organizations telling
of contributions hitherto unreported
and forwarded through other channels
than the sixty principal war relief
societies.

| Itching Torture Stops
It is unnecessary for you to suffer
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and
similar skin troubles. A little zerao
gotten at any drug store for 25c or
SI.OO for extra large bottle; and
promptly applied will usually give In
stant relief from itching torture. It
cleanses and soothes the skin and heals
quickly and effectively most skin dis
eases.
Zemo Is a wonderful disappearing li
quid and does not smart the most deli
cate skin. It Is not greasy, is easily
applied and costs little. Get it to-day

To End Catarrhal
Deafness and
Head Noises
Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness and head noises will he giaa
to know that this distressing aftllction
can be successfully treated at home b
an internal remedy that in many in
stances lias effected acomplete cure after
all else has failed. Sufferers who could
scarcely hear a watch tick have had
their hearing restored to such an extern
that the tick of a watch was plainly
audible seven or eight Inches away
from either ear.
Therefore, if you know someone who
is troubled with head noises or catarrn,
or catarrhal deafness, cut out this
formula and hand to them, and you will
have been the means of saving some
poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf
ness. The prescription can be prepared
at home, and is made as follows:
Secure from your druggist 1 02. Par
mint (Double Strength), about 76c
worth. Take this home and add to It
Vt. pint of hot water and 4 ozs. ot
granulated sugar; stir until dissolved.
Take one tablespoonful four times a
day.
The first dose should begin to relieve
the distressing head noises, headache,
dullness, clouily thinking, etc., while tha
hearing rapidly returns as the system
is Invigorated by the tonic action 01
the treatment. Loss of smell and mucus
dropping In the back of the throat, are
other symotoms that show the presence
of catarrhal poison, and which are often
entirely overcome by this efficacious
treatment. Nearly ninety per cent, ot
all ear troubHw are said to be directly
caused by catarrh, therefore, there must
be many people whose hearing can t>
restored by this simple home treatmem.
Every person who is troubled with
head noises, catarrhal deafness or ca
tarrh In any form, should glv# this pre
print inn a trial.—Advertisement.
