THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1928, ACCUSE POLITICIAN | LORD BURGH IS DESIGNING HATS INLOTTERY” Gt Philadelphia Officials Issue Warrant for G. 0. P. Ward Leader. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, November 1.—Wil- liam B. Smith, Republican organization ward leader, member of the State Legis- lature and clerk in city council, was charged today in a warrant issued for his arrest with operating a “clearing house lottery.” The warrant was issued by Judge Edwin O. Lewis on information of the district attorney, who is directing the grand jury investigation of bootlegging and police corruption. The judge also ordered the issuance of warrants for the arrest of a number of policemen on charges of extorting money from gamblers for proiection. Ten witnesses, mostly colored, testified | before Judge Lewis yesterday that lot- teries had taken in approximately $350,000 a year, of which about $115.000 was paid for police protection. One of the colored witnesses, Mark Johnson, a former constable and former Repub- liea= division leader, now serving a prison sentence on a gambling charge, said that he had been a partner of Smith, his ward leader, in the “lottery racket” from May to December, 1927. Judge Lewis said: “The police de- gar[mcnt is not helping us a bit and as not. helped us since this investi- gation started.” Local authorities.to- dayr were investigating an anonymous telenhone caii received by poiice of Hecxro, Pa., that an unidentified woman whose body was found yesterday near Horsham, had been slain because she talked too much on a recent ap- Eenr.lnce before the special grand jury ere.

BY LORD BURGI, (Formerly of the Black Watch.) | Written_exclusively for The Star and North | American Newspaper Alliance. | LONDON, November 1.—After serving | two years in India as an officer in the | Black Watch—oldest Highland regi- | ment in the service, famed for its gal- lantry in the Flanders campaign of 1745 and in the other more terrible 1914—1 was faced with th(‘l problem of making a living. | This was more difficult for me than for most people because my choice nec- essarily was governed by two things. I felt that at all events I must not let my ancestral estates fall into the hands of the auctioneer, and to pre- vent this I must choose some business | that provided at least a chance of early success. This requirement excluded many | sound professions in which one might struggle for years without recognition | or remuneration. My second requirement narrows the dwindling list even more, for I had promised myself that the career of my choice would be one in which the artistic element was predominant. Wanted Income and Art. What career would provide me with | the income to keep up my Scottish castle, praised for its beauty by such men as Turner and Swinburne, a fitting home to receive the many royal per- sons who visited it? What career would provide me with scope for my artistic _ability without offending the autocratic tastes which were my in- heritance? After much consideration I surprised my friends and fellow officers by choos- ing to make, with my own hands, hats for wemen, an occupation in which I consider art and business are pro- portionately blended. 1 could find a tiny shop in an Old as Well. World London street, and there, in a surrounding of seclusion and refine- ment, T could design hats which would be both salable and artistic. A number of men of high intelligence have concentrated on dress designing, and in some cases have been signally successful. The masculine mind has always insisted on individuality in frocks rather than on standardized “chic,” and why, I thought, should not this principle be applied to hats? Year in and year out hats have varied little Each year one model | becomes popular, and then every woman of any ag= hastens to avail her- self of this model, regardless, or almost regardless, of its becomingness or unbe- comingness, regardless of the fact that she will see its sisters and first cousins worn by her friends, by her acquaint- ances, and by every third stranger she passes in the street. In designing hats I have three prin- ciples which guide my efforts, the first being more concerned with psychology than art. I study my client closely until I know how original and unusual a hat she can wear without becoming self-conscious, and thus losing all con- fidence in herself. ‘Then, second. I study her features 50 the line of the hat may throw em- phasis on the best features, and the color may form an advantageous set- ting for her looks. My last principle, that of comfort, is, | after all, perhaps the most important, 184 HOSPITALS AND INSTITUTIONS | ARE USING FATHER JOHN'S MEDICINE Old Fashioned Medicine for Colds and Body Building Has Proved Its Value By 73 Years Success Father John's Medicine is now be- ing used in 184 hospitals, and insti- tutions from coast to coast in the United States and Canada. During its 73 years of succes$ in the treatment of colds, throat troubles and as a body builder, Father John's Medicine has come to be recognized |in a great many hospitals and chari- ! having _great | table institutions as value. Because it is guaranteed free from alcohol or drugs in any form, | doctors reccmmend it. Father John’s Medicine is a high grade preparation of Cod Liver Oil with other valuable ingredients. It builds new tissue and strength and gives power to resist illness. Doctors have known the value of |cod liver oil for a great many years and have used it freely in their prac- tice. Modern research has deter- mined the reason for its value, and given it the name of vitamins. It is unquestioned that cod liver oil, when given in‘palatable form such as Father John's Medicine, is one of the greatest body builders for those who are weakened or run down. | The Matron of the Children's Home at Lowell, Mass, writes: *“I have 40 or 45 children here at the children’s home constantly, When | they are weak or run down I always give them Father John's Medicine to build them up. They all gain rapidly under the treatment the medicine | affords. Whenever they get cold or| have a cough or throat irritation Father John's Medicine gives prompt and sure relief.” (Signed) Ellen O'Lea Matron, Children's Home, Lowell, Mass.—Advertisement. | because the designing of the hat would be quite useless if it proved too un- comfortable to wear. Besides, ill-fitting hats have the same effect as ill-fitting shoes—they spoll the temper of the | wearer and hence the effect of the outfit is lost Will Not Copy French. I have been asked if I intend to base my designs on French ideas of fashion, to which I have answered em- phatically, “No.” Why: should American or English women be tied by the conventions to Paris fashions? Why shouldn't they be allowed a style of their own, especlally suited to their individualities and tem- peraments? It is true there is liftle to complain of in the taste of American women, recognized as the best dressed women in the world: yet I feel they could dress even more becomingly and appealingly if they concentrated on originality of design rather than on “the latest thing” from Paris.
