Yesteryear was brought down to date in the Food Show last night, when | nearly a score of young wom:n drecsed in fashions that ranged from the Revo- | lutionary era to the gay nineties paraded and curtsied for the favor of the audience that was to determine the winner of a basket of flowers. And it was the pompadoured Gibson COSTUME WINNER || son of Mr. girl, the “flapper” of the nineties, as exemplified by Miss Ivy Stevens of 4120 Four.eenth street, whom the audience chose. Miss Stevens won, however, in no easy contest, for there were those at the show last night who remembsred the Civil War period with affection enough to make a close competition, while the race was tied even tighter by the expressed favor for the powdered wig and hoop skirt of Revolutionary days. Two Contesting Groups. The contestants had to be brought out upon the stage in two grouvs, and the apparent favorites of each were paraded again. Gradually the field was | reduced until Miss Marie Feeney of 2500 K stree, representing the Revo- Jutionary period: Miss Stevens, and Miss Dorothy Davenport of 1116 Ninth street, exponent of the Civil War, stood | for the final judgment. The selection | wa made beiween Miss Stevens and Miss Feeney.

Chairman to House Commit- tee to Meet Secretary Adams on New Work. 1 chairman Britten of the House Naval Committee proposes to confer tomor- Tow with Secretary Adams and mem- bers of the General Board of the Navy concerning plans for a modified naval building program. Authorization will be sought for new destroyers and submarines, as well as an appropriation of $29,793,750 for the | modernization of the U. S. S. Idaho, New Mexico and Mississippl, battle- ships, as well as some $35,000,000 for | continuation of work on the construc- tion of ten 10,000-ton cruisers author- ized under the 15-cruiser program, the Representative indicated. The cost of the entire construction program is at | present unrevealed. | ‘The program, the Iilinois member | sald, is to be laid on a year-to-year | plan, until it is determined what is to | be done with the remainder of the ton- | nage allowed in 6-inch cruisers under | the London naval treaty. | “"He sald naval experts were studying proposals of Rear Admiral W. A. Mof- fett, chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics, to make light aircraft carriers capable of accommodating 30 to 40 airplanes of the light cruiser tonnage. Britten sald he would seek legisla- tive right of way for the Darrow bill, i approved by his committee last Spring, | for the modernization of the three bat- tleships as an employment measure. “Work on the Mississippi, Idah~ and New Mexico, authorized in 1924, he | said, “will keep about 3.000 men busy for a year of more, and at the same time place the ships in first-class fight- ing condition.

By the Associated Press. TULSA, Okla, November 18.—The Tulsa World says George H. Hurford, wealthy Tulsa sportsman and widely | known as a bookmaker throughout the Southwest, was kidnaped from his coun- try estate near Tulsa Sunday night by armed gangsters who presumably are holding him for ransom. Two armed men forced Hurford into an automobile and spirited him away, the newspaper says, in the presence of a caretaker, a Negro maid, and Mrs. Hurford, whose life was threatened when she pleaded to accompany her husband. No report of the kidnaping was made either to police, the county attorney or the sheriff, but the World says it was informed that Hurford was abducted as the culmination of a plot formed several months ago. Earl Franks, chief of detectives, who questioned Mrs. Hurford last night, said he was informsd the couple returned home from a fishing trip late Sunday to encounter two men in their living | room, armed with sawed-off shotguns. According to Mrs. Hurford's account, as related by Franks, one of the gang- sters sald: ‘We wi you to come with us, Georg?. We'll bump you off if you don't keep quiet.” When the men disappeared in s car, Mrs. Hurford sald, she ran to a tele- phone to summon heip, but found the wires cut. J. F. Punk, the caretaker, confirmed the story of the abdussion but said darkness prevented his reading the license number on the automobile. At & late hour last night Mrs. Mur- ford said she had received no word from the kidnapers.
