and navy blue and mercy white for
the old wishy washy civilian stylvs,
it Will have a hair-raising tight on its

"For Congress and the War De

Government departments have no un

Miss Marbyry. "Most of the women

"The women will pay no attention
to military and naval and civil-law?

"And did you ever notice," re

AIMS HELD FOR
DEATH OF NORSE
Samuel Magruder and Aaron Bos
ton. both- colored, were held yester
day for the action of the grand jury
by a coroner's jury investigating the
death of Miss Katherine Lord, a grad
uate nurje of Sibley Hospital, who
was run down and killed by an auto
mobile occupied by the two men as
she alighted from a street car at
North Capitol and M streets Tuesday
Bight. *
According to the testimony brought
out at the inquest, the automobile,
which was operated by Magruder,
was $ping ^t a high rate of speed
and frffled to stop fifteen feet behind
the street car from which Miss Lord
was alighting. After striking the
nurse, the automobile failed to stop,
it was said.
Boston told the jury that he owned
the car, but that Magruder was driv
ing it when it struck Miss Lord. Ma
gruder admitted that he was driving,
but said that the brakes refused to
work, making it impossible for him
to bring the machine to a stop In
time to prevent striking the nurse.
Both men were taken to the District
Jail to await trial. _

"Children Love Cascarets"
Keep your little Pets healthy, strong and full of
play by giving a harmless candy Cascaret at the
first sign of a white tongue, feverish breath, sour
stomach or a cold. Nothing else straightens up a
bilious, or constipated youngster like these delight
ful cathartic tablets?Only ten cents a box.
TO MOTHERS! While all children detest castor oil, calomel,
pills and laxatives* they really love to take Cascarets because they
taste like candy. Cascarets "work" the nasty bile, sour fermentations
and constipation poison from the child's tender stomach, liver and
bowels without pain or griping. Cascarets never disappoint the
MCgpied mother. Each ten cent box of Cascarets contains directions
for children aged one year old and upwards as well as for adults?
absolutely safe and harmless!

How Dr. N'orbu Ishida, the Japanese
alienist, rode all tho way from Bal
timore to Towson, side bj- side with
his intended victim. Dr. George B.
Wolff, the day before the murder and
had in his pocket all the while the !
newly purchased and already loaded ?
revolver, has just C9111C to light in the '
investigation by Stage's Attorney j
Goergc Harlman. Although he had '
it that time already been to the Bal- |
timore poliec in an effort to have Dr. !
Wolff arrested, although he had al- |
ready been taught how to. shoot the 1
revolver, Ishida laughed and chatted j
pleasantly with Dr. Wolff all through
the trip. Arriving at the nearest j
point to the Sheppard-Pratt Hospital,
Dr. Wolff alighted from the car.
Dodgea Truth.
Ishida explained that he intended to
ride further on into the village to
purchase some ChrlsTmas cards.
Wolff laughed and ventured that the
village selection would npt be very
good. Ishida's real errand proved,
howeyer, to be an attempt to see
Justice Hopkins to ask him to swear
out a warrant for Wolff's ?rrest.
Hopkins had gone for the day. and j
Ishida went back to the hospital 1
where the next morning he shot and
killed his fellow-physician.
Attorney Hartman points out that
all these actions show clearheaded
ness on Ishida's part and undoubted
ly point to a clear premeditation of
the murder. Hartman believes that
Ishida did not tal.e advantage of the
opportunity to kill Wolff on the elec
tric car for fear someone would In
terfere. He carefully waited, accord
ing to Hartman's deductions until
such a time, which came the next
morning, when he coula trap-Wolff
in the small office at the hospital
and make sure of finishing him.
Want Sanity Teat.
As a result of Ishida's counsel,
having had Dr. Cnarles G. Hill, an
-alienist who testified in the'Thaw
trial, examine Ishida in his C011, At
torney Prosecutor Hartman lias re
quested Judge Duncan to direct the
Maryland Lunacy Commission to pass
judgment on Ishida's mental con
dition. Three of the commission will
visit Ishida and report their find
ings to Judge Duncan. Dr. Young,
chairman Of the commission, is In
France with the Johns Hopkins unit. I
but .Dr. H. U. Hocking will act lnj
his stead and be assisted by Drs.
Hurd and Berkeley, the latter having!
been associated with Ishida in the!
Fhippe clinic at Johns Hopkinq.
Attorney Hartman point* out many
similar points between Ishida s kill
ing of Wolff and Gujteau's assassi- j
nation of ex-President Garfield, j
Guiteau alro, had had a previous op
portunity to kill Garfield when the lat
ter passed him going in and out ?f<
church. Questioned' as to why he
waited, he replied he did not want to
create a commotion in the chuich but
preferred to await an opportunity
when there were fewer persons about.
The precedent for the Ishida case
is the famous Spencer case of thirty
five or forty years ago. The defense
In that case was insanity but the
I Maryland Starte law provide* that
'if the defendant can.be &how.p to
know the nature of his act- and the
difference between- rtght and
he is amenable-to the law, an<i Spen
cer was hanged. Hartman declares It
is clear Ishida knew his act was
wrong because he has already said
he was sorry.

The Triumph of a New American
Industry
It is a matter of history that the outbreak of the Great War
found American manufacturers woefully deficient in native dye
stuffs due to the dominance of the German dyemakers. When the
latter's product was cut off, trade temporarily suffered; but
American brains and capital were at once thrown into the breach.
The Results of These Four Years Are on Exhibit
in Our Auditorium
It is the same exhibition shown at the Grand Centra] Palace.
