Jfeir Toft.--The light that ' mered for nearly five years in memory of Florence Kane, who was murdered In 1925, will soothe extinguished, for the Kane home in Brooklyn is to be sold. For 1,616 nights, now, Mrs. Lydla Kane has seen to It that the candle burned for her dead daughter. At dusk every day Mrs. Kane walks up a short flight of stairs to the second floor of the pretty frame cottage !and lights the beacon, as she calls It. She has sworn to keep it burning in the girl's room each night until the slayer is captured and punished. But the police have never succeeded in penetrating the mystery <£. the death of Florence Kane. Five-Year Mystery. The murderer has never been apprehended and no new clews have been une&rthed in nearly five years. The long strain of waiting has told on Mother Kane. Day In and day out she sits by the window. And at night she ascends to Florence's room and lights the candle. In snow and in cold, in heat and in rain, she walt£ for news and prays and cries. Relatives say her health has broken down, and upon advice of physicians have decided to sell the house and take Mother Kane away from the ; many reminders of the tragedy. On the morning of May 29, 1825, a milkman, passing through East' New York avenue on his route, found the body of the twenty-four-year-old girl, a sister of Detective James Kane'of the Atlantic avenue station. The spot where the body was found Is a lot 200 feet from the girl's home and on the boundary line of the Liberty and Atlantic avenue precincts. Detectives from both station houses were rushed to the scene, among them the brother. Many Suspects Taken. Detective Kane made the identification of his sister. The murder was carried out with maniacal boldness. During their investigation the police learned that the girl had attended a theater in Manhattan and left some girl friends at midnight on the Utica avenue station of the I. R. T. line. She then started to walk home. When she was within a couple of hundred feet of home she was attacked, apparently by a maniac, and killed. The slayer had torn loose a gold crucifix and a gold religious medal from the chain by which they hung around the girl's neck and carefully arranged them on her back. All the man took away with him was the gold chain, first communion rosary, and the green silk underskirt that Miss Kane wore. No crime In the history/Of the police department stirred the police to more feverish activity than this, the brother of the dead girl being one of the best known and liked of the younger detectives in the department. The'police never got very far In teaming who the slayer was. Many suspects were brought In and grilled by the detectives, but had to be released for tire lack of evidence. Finally the case became a "brick wall" to the police. It ran along and soon was forgotten by the people of Brooklyn. YOUTH BOASTS OF BRANDING' v ^ MCKLE SWEETIE Pancake Turner on Her When She Says She « Loves Another* ifiiii Francisco.--Nonchalantly,,' almost boastfully, Charles Nunez Sllva, twenty-four, known in Oakland as the "sheik of Seventh street," has admitted, according tojjerkeley police records, that he indelibly branded his forty-one-year-old inamorata with a red-hot pancake turner when she told him she loved another. "That's what 1 did to my last wife when I found out she was going out with another man," said Sllva, according to the confession in the hand* of the police. While Sllva wtas calmly detailing the branding, his former sweetheart, Mrs. Mabel Pennington Clarno, forty-one, lay in the Sutter county hospital at Yuba City, slowly recovering from deep burns on Iter abdomen, her left hip and her left hand. She was in such a highly nervous state that doctors refused to allow her to be Interviewed. Wields • Red-Hot. Weapl£4 • SUva, who lives in Oakland, frag airrested at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Silva, after Dr. Trusten P. Perry, superintendent of the Sutter county hospital, had notified Sheriff R. It. Veale at Martinez of Mrs. Clarno's story of the branding. Taken to the woman's bedside at Tuba City, Silva, according to Inspector Waterbury and Deputy Sheriff ' Ralph Harrison of Contra Costa county, readily admitted that he had wielded the red-hot pancake turner on Mrs. Clarno's body.

After that he lived at intervals with Mrs. Clarno, bought her groceries and gave her money, according to his story to the police. "I told her I was thirty-eight, years old," he added. want her to From Tornado's Grasp . The old time "cyclone cellar" or outdoor cave has probably been the means of saving more lives from tornadoes than anything else and is still one of the best places of refuge ever contrived. The southwest corner of the basement of a frame house Is almost as safe, especially if a person crouches close against the wall. Tornadoes nearly always approach from the south or west and flying debris or perhaps^ the house itself will be carried away from the southwest corner. The basement of a brick or stone house Is liable to be a death trap in a tornado, as i>Hck or masonry walls are liable to collapse and tumbledown anywhere. A person caught In the open when a fbrnado Approaches has a choice of 4 lying down flat in a depression or of flight. Tornadoes travel across the country at a rate of thirty to sixty miles per hour, usually, and escape for a person In an automobile^ is simple If there are highways open. A person on foot directly in the path of such a storm should run toward the northwest, which la at right angles to the storm path and toward the side where the winds are least violent.--Kansas City Times. .Light and Darlp Meat The bureau of biological survey says very little data have been compiled regarding the reason that some birds have all dark He$h and others oart light and part dark. It has been observed. however, that birds In which the power of flight Is well developed have more dark meat than others. I: f- \ i". . * " Here ia one of those little frocks that owes everything--chic and practicability-- to an utterly frank simplicity. It is practical, says the Woman's Home Companion, because it is easily put together and, the last stitch taken, It is the type of dress you want to wear all the time. Make It In crepe de chine or flat crepe and you can put it on before breakfast and be at ease the whole day throiigh. Make it in chiffon velvet--black, for instance, with a white georgette collar--and you are ready for a formal tea or an informal evening party. Of course it combines ceveral Paris style features --a circular skirt, a slight suggestion of shirring on the bodice and a most Important bertha collar. Using a darker tone of the material to border the collar gives an opportunity to accent one of your ensemble colors. Trading Teeth for Love Transplanting of teeth was a ftel introduced by a dentist of Paris in 1750. Many gallants of that period and the women on whom their affections were centered, submitted to the painful operation. The story is told that Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, in the days of their courtship, exchanged a tooth apiece. OU English Adqe V ^TOfr trfd adage, "Hell Is paved Wtttl good Intentions" is one of the commonest in the English language. In that phraseology it is quoted by Boswell as having been used by Doctor Johnson In 1775. George Herbert puts It: "Hell is full of good wishings and meanings." James Kelly, in Scottish Proverbs, says, "Hopers go to hell." The Portuguese say, "Hell is paved with good intentions and roofed with lost opportunities."

In October he suspected that her love for him was cooling. So when she asked him to buy her the anesthetic to relieve her pain, he readily consented. While she was semiconscious from' the anesthetic, Sllva told the police, he pressed the red-hot pancake turner to her abdomen. In her struggle she was burned on the hip and band, be said.

Today It is equally safe to point in any direction.--Americas Magazine., Detachable Collars *nd Cuffs on Coat Dresses The coat dress is an established meqiber and in good standing, especially now that women are sponsoring wool for frocks, to say nothing of hats. It is smart to have the 1930 model coat dress fur trimmed which would present difficulties were it not feasible to have the collar and cuffs detachable. For that matter fur trimmings are not peculiar to the coat dress alone. Many formal afternoon frocks are the smarter for a bit of fur at the neck, or a fur bow here, or there. A narrow edging of white fur contributes much the same flattering note as a bit of lingerie collar. It is often resorted to, for the prestige of fur is tremendous this season; and designers have utilized it fully for both Indoor and outdoor apparel. Although fine woolen dresses are much the vogue, crepe morocaln Is very much In evidence at smart circles. It may be remembered that this heavy crepe was highlighted at the fall openings, alone or in combination with something else. It Is a weave particularly suitable for the season and the new silhouette. Applied bands are a clever trimming treatment of the crepe morocain frock while of course fur, especially galyak is widely qsed with it. Belted and bolero lines are other styles Interpreted in either lightweight woolens or heavyweight crepes. Elegance, Subtlety of , Line, Milady's Desire It Is to the afternoon and evening fashions that we look for the developments of the truly "feminine" mode of greater elaboration which we hear so much about, reports Betty Shannon in the Household1 Magazine. The tendency, she flnds, is toward a far greater "elegance" and subtlety of line than have been equaled since the war touched milady's '"wardrobe. Velvet takes the lead in all afternoon materials, especially In plain colors and black; satin and satin crepes, canton, and flat crepes follow. Bottle or myrtle green, rust, browns of reddish cast, all reds of dark shades and -slightly purple cast, raspberry, cranberry, and the sun-tap range are much in demand. Sleeves, In particular, bear the mark of elaboration In afternoon frocks, and much fine lace In old ivory is used to soften neck and wrist lines and adorn the edge of ties and berthas. Skirts are conspicuously longer, and by some ingenious arrangement of panels, or points or a dipping of the hem, arrive at an uneven hemline. There Is a tendency to drop panel backs, some of which may be shirred into fullness or adjusted by cartridge^ plaits. Gr^ea for Chic Some of Che smartest apd bflrt looking coats for winter wear are of dark green cloth. It is possible to get a luxurious model of hunter's green, trimmed lavishly with black raccoon or lynx. The high pointed cuffs and very deep collar of the fur add. much to the beauty of the coat. 1 *0 Batten Chic Buttons are marching right into front of fashion. A sweet violet taffeta frock for afternoon tea or Informal evening parties buttons clear up the back with decorative little cut steel and mother-of-pearl buttons in the shape of half moons with a little lady in them. Suggestion That Skins of Birds Replace Furs Good ftirs are scarce these days and prices high. So the little northern community of Point Barrow, Alaska, suggests wraps and coats made from skins of thirds, with the downy feathers intact. Such wraps have been worn by northern Alaska natives for many decades. The breasts of wild geese, ducks, gulls and cormorants are removed ill as la rge% sections as possible. The skin, jor pelts, are carefully dried In the wind for several days. Seal blubber and fish oil mixed and melted are rubbed while hot into the bird skins. Several applications of animal grease and much kneading make the feather furs as pliable as real pelts. The life of feather skins so treated is as long as the lighter weight furs. Geese, ducks and many kinds Of large fowls are so prolific that ioi mense flocks are quickly built up and the supply of feather fur is inexhaustible, once In favor with the trade. / Sleeping bags, aviators' coats and caps, explorers' wraps arid loungg cushions with feather outsider instead of inside are other suggestec^uses of the tjjlrd skins. f s v ^ A • : - 1 n " i u;>iii; 11 • J * Platinum's Many Uses In addition to its fashionable duties'!
