i Daughter of H. G. Lippincott
Kills Her Child and Sends
Bullet Into Own Head
lly Associated Press
Denver, Colo. Dec. 9.—Mrs. Era
i ily It. Powell, 40 yearn old, said lo
I be the daughter of Horace G. Lip
| pineott. of Wyncotc, Pa., sot-iully
| prominent, shot and killed her ten
! year-old daughter, Jacqueline, as the
| child lay asleep at the mother's
| apartment in the Capitol Hill resi
dence district to-day. Mrs. Powell
then shot herself, the bullet enter
ing her left eye. She was hurried
to a hospital, where it was said her
conditions was dangerous.
Mrs. Powell had been seperated
from her husband. Other occupants
of the apartment house where she
lived said she had been acting
strangely. f
Mrs. Powell left a note saying:
"I wisli before I die I might have
known what has always been wrong
with my life—the more T loved peo
ple the more I always hurt them."
Admiral Hilary P. Jones, U. S. N.,
is said to be related to Mrs. Powell.
Tax Increase Probable
in City Budget to Be
Considered Tonight
Councilmen will meet to-night for the
first sessioh to consider the 1920 budget.
Members of Council said to-day that
they had received from the various bu
reaus estimates of the appropriations
needed to maintain the departments next
year.
Commissioner C. W. Burtnett, superin
tendent of accounts and finance, an
nounced that lie had completed an esti
mate of receipts for next year"which
he would submit this evening. No fig
ures will be given for publication at
present, however.
Commissioners predict that an in
crease in the tax rate from ten to eleven
mills is quite likely because of the
constantly rising costs of labor and ma
terials, needed principally for the park,
street and water departments.

New York Public Library
Exhibits War Pictures
The Chief Signal Officer of the
| Eastern Department, New York City,
has advised Colonel J. B. Kemper,
in-charge of the Harrisburg Recruit
ing Disrtiot, that what is probably
the largest single collection in the
world of enlarged photographs of
The World will be exhibited to the
public, without charge, at the New
York Public Library, 476 Fifth Ave
nue, corner of 42nd Street, New
York City, commencing December
Bth ,for a period of two months.
The Library will be open for exhibit

to 6 P. M., weekdays, and from 1
to 5 P. M., Sundays.
These photographs were taken by
the official photographers of the
Signal Corps attached to the Amer
ican Expeditionary Forces in
Europe, some of them under the se
verest shell firj, and form, a unique
pictorial history of the part played
by American troops in the
struggle. They give a vivid repre
sentation of the engagements in
which our men participated and the
conditions under which they had to
operate.
These are war pictures of an ex
ceedingly engaging type showing
not only actual scenes of desolation,
ruin and privation, but also the per-I
ennial spirit of cheerfulness with I
which the men bore,tlie discomforts |
|of war and faced death. Each pic
ture bears a title and the exhibit will
he of real interest to those who lake
advantage of it during a visits in
New York City.

COMEBACK CLUB
COLUMBIA IDEA
Only Wounded Veterans Eli
' gible, Plan Wins; Red
Cross Favors It
Sew York —Wounded war veterans
only are eliglDle to' the Come-Baclc
Club, a new organization at Columbia
University which is ambitious to be
come a national intercollegiate asso
ciation.
More than 100 wounded and dis-.
abled ex-service men were at the
Morningside Heights institution at
the beginning of this school year.
They were men who, deprived of the
use of a limb or otherwise unable to
earn a college education, were sent to
thi university by the Government,
which pays their expenses.
Six weeks ago A. Bruce Conlin, one
of the wounded men, conceived the
scheme of forming a club whirti
should be of benefit to its members
and a power in college thought and
activity. With this purpose in mind
he assembled half a dozen pf his
friends, also maimed, and formed the
organization whose membership has
increased so rapidly.
The name "Co;qe-Back" was adopt
ed because it typifies the purpose and
hope of fills group of determined men
whom the Government is giving a
chance of retrieving a small part of
what they lost in France.
The Government and the Red Cross
are back of the movement iq Colum
bia as in all other institutions. A
post has .been organized at New York
University and another at the Uni
versity of California. With Columbia
as the mother "chapter," the Come.
Back Club seems to win members in
every college and university in the
country. *
A delegate was despatched to the
recent convention of the American
Region in Minneapolis to spread the
idea among the assembled veterans.
Representative# from other college
pests of the legion caught the germ
and have set about forming Come-
Baek groups in their own institu
tions. These associations are proving
a powerful factor in college life.

WHITBY JET IS
GROWING SCARCE
Day When It Could Be Picked
Up on English Beach
Has Passed
Time was, and that not long ago,
when one might find it, every now
and again, on the seashore; when a
real piece of Whitby jet was one of
the treasures to be picked up in an
afternoon's walk along that wonder
ful beach which stretches all the way
from Whitby West Cliff to where the
little brown beck tumbles down out
of the moors into the sea at Sand
send. And it is still, of course, to
be found there, for the sea is ever
disclosing new treasures. 15ul, to
day, the triumph of picking up a
piece of real jet is of rare occur
rence. True, hope rises high, again
and again, for it takes an experienced
eye indeed not to be taken iu by
every plausible representation of a
piece of coal. But the well-tried
wayfarer passes by such obvious
fakes without a second glance.
Then again, unless one is ac
quainted with the habits of jet, there
is nothing about it, whether on<? re
trieves it in triumph from the sands
of the shore, or picks it up, uncut
and unpolished in a jet worker's
cottage, that one should desire it.
Technical books on the subject do
scribe it bluntly as a species of coal,
brown coal, "rendered black by fos
sllization and by impregnation with
bituminous matter;" and, seen in ilie
rough, one is at onde convinced that
the technical books are right. Btlt
let the jet worker take it and cut
it and carve it, as lie will do while
j you wait. , Then let him polish it,
and, lo! the piece of dull coal is
j transformed into a wonderful sub
■ stance of translucent black, so black
I that, for all the world, it represents
; the blackest that can be found,
i Whitby jet has had many imitators,
jof course, especially In later years
and not a few competitors. Jet from
other parts of the world has en
deavored, with varying success, lo
establish itself in popular favor, but
real Whitby jet is still very much the
standard of excellence. As for the
unworthy imitations, the vulcanite,
the celluloid, the black wax covered
with glass, or even the recent elabor
ate synthetic productions, Whitby
will have none of them. No one
can walk through the narrow streets
of the old town, and pause every
i now and again to look in at its
quaint shop windows, without realiz
ing that he Is indeed in the very
land of the "genuine artiole." Real
Whitby jet is to be found everywhere.
Broaches, earrings, these are of the
favorite ornaments. Then there are
beads of all shapes and sizes, work
ed up into all manner of wonderful
garments; while every conceivable
kind of requisite, from a penholder
to an eight-day clock, has beep
pressed into service as a setting for
the real thing.
Champagne Served
at Ship Launching
Bristol. Pa., Dec. 9.—The Mitch
ell, a Diberty Boon vessel, was
launched yesterday at the Merchant
shipyard. And, incidentally, a
workman got a drink of oham
pngne.
Miss Dorthy Scallin, of Mitchell,
S. D., struck the ribbon-covered
bottle against the of the crnft
not hard enough. The bottle
only crncked, so that only a part of
of champagne oozed out. A work
i man on thfe deck of the ship, seeing
| his chance, sprang forward and
I pulled the boitle up to the deck.
I Then he knocked off the top afid
I took a long drink.
I Otherwise the launching was as
1 usual,
CREAM AND OIL
RUN ENGINES
Remarkable Invention Goes
on Almost Anything; Of
fered as Fuel Solution
New York. —To run engines, using
as a fuel olive oil, melted butter or
whipped cream may sound absurd,
but, according to E. W. Blakely of
the Society of Automobile Engineers,
one of the leading speakers at the
! convention of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers, In session
here recently, this already has been
accomplished. "Of course," said Mr.
Blakely, "it would be ridiculous to
use any of these substances as a
permanent fuel, but the fact that
the engine could be started and run
on them speaks /volumes for the
principle involved.
The experiment was accomplished
i recently with the use of a livid en
gine, invented by R. M. livid of Chi-
Icago, and was performed in the pres
ence of five engineers representing
'the Russian government.
[ The engine was started and was
j kept running for a lengtli of time on
t lie following fuels; Crude oil, fuel
oil, kerosene, olive oil, castor oil,
melted butter, axle grease and finally
whipped cream .
"The Hvid engine," said Mr. Blake
! ly, "lias not as yet been entirely per
| fected for high speed purposes, but
1 it is applicable to motor boats, trac-
I tors and pumps. Us weight and the
j fact that it cannot attain a high
j speed prevent the Hvid from being
adaptable to fast moving vehicles.
According to Mr. Blakely the en
gines not only economizes the use of
fuel, but also saves energy in the
sense that it avoids, in many cases,
the transportation of coal.
The Hvid is a straight four cycle
engine of conventional design, ex
cept that high compression is used
to secure ignition and a fuel inject
ing mechanism is employed, by
means of which a preliminary com
bustion is made to force the fuel into
the engine without complicated
p.umps or air systems. The-engine is
said to have all the advantages and
none of the. disadvantages of the so
called Diesel, and will run on any
oil that can flow through a pipe or
any biproduct of distillation.

FITS JEWELS
TO CHARACTER
Gcmsmith Makes Them Ex
press Personality; Meth
ods Unique
Chicago.—James H. Winn is a
new type of gensuiith. He calls him
self a phychological jeweler. He
fits jewels to character. He makes
gems express personality. He de
signs jewelry to harmonize with the
soul type as well as the physicul
type. Gems that go naturally with
a placid disposition look incongruous
on a person of fiery temper.' There
are jewels that a blonde must never
wear and others that brunets ought
always to wear.
Air. Winn's methods are unique.
When a customer comes to him with
an order, he does not rush to fill
it. He bows his client to a seat and
engages him in conversation. This
Jis what he calls his "soul clinic."
I All the while he studies the man's
j personality and the visual indices of
!it in the color of hair, eyes and
j complexion. If t lie jewelry the man'
I lias ordered will go with his type,
I.Mr. Winn fifis the order. If not,
lie suggests sonfething more ex
pressive of liis inner and outer self.
Blondes, he declare, are types of
summer. Sapphires, pearls, topazes,
amethysts, emeralds, turquoises,
aquamarines are jewels for blondes.
Sapphires suggest the summer sky;
emeralds the summer fields; ame
jthysts the cool depths of summer
j streams; topazes the warm shadows
of summer foliage pearls the white
ness and warmth of summer blos
soms.
Gems lhat symbolize the passion,
warmth and color of the south are
for brunots —rubies, garnets, fire
opals, tourmalines, all stones that
flash as with inner fires. Diamonds
and pearls, he declares, are the uni
versal jewels. The radiance of
diamonds and the warm beauty of
pearls go equally well with blonde
or brunet.
A man ordered a diamond scarf
pin from Mr. Winn. The psycho-1
logical jeweler put him through aj
soul clinic. He found his customer
a strong character, witty, quickly
flashing into anger and as quickly
subsiding. A diamond, he decided,!
would never do for such ' a man.
"What you require," said Mr. Winn,
"is a black opal." Exactly why was
Mr. Winn's psychological secret. But
somehow when the man woje his
pin, the black opal seemed like an
emanation of his character.
For a coldly statuesque blonde,
he designed a necklace of diamonds
and frosted platinum and it seem
ed like a sonnet written td her
beauty. For another blonde with
slumbrous velvet eyes, he fashioned
a necklace of jad whose cool polished
green .seemed just the thing for
her cool, lily type and yet suggested
a touch of the Orient in keeping
with her eyes. For a dark woman
of rich, full-blooded type, he de
signed a necklace of rose gold with
a great opal as a pendent.
Jewels," says Air. Winn, "are. as
expressive as language. T try to
grasp the dominant note in a per
son's character and express it in
gems."

Her Chances Become Better
• When San Francisco
Drops Out 4
Washington, Dec .9. 192®
political -pot was sturted boiling
merrily to-day us the leading figures
of the Republican party, gathering
here for the quadrennial meeting of
the National Committee, took coun
sel on candidates and issues.
The ostensible purpose of the
committee meeting is to select a
time and place for next year's na
tional convention, but in their con
ferences committee members and
their guests talked of almost every
thing else relating to 1920. Choice
of the convention city will be made
to-morrow, with indications pointing
to either Chicago or St. Ix>uis and
with early June apparently settled
on as the date.
In additioq to the National Com
mitteemen from every state, the Re
publican state chairman all have
been invited to be here this' week
and a large number of editors of Re
publican newspapers are expected
to attend.

Discussion of a convention city
did not get far yesterday, the leaders
apparently being too interested in
other questions. The St. Louis dele
gation, which arrived Sunday are
active.
Chicago's chances were helped
during the day by an announcement
by William H. Crocker, the national
committeeman for California, that
San Francisco, mentioned as a con
tender for the honor, would not ac
tively seek the convention but would
throw its influence for the Illinois
city.
