LAKE VILLA, Ill., March 8.—The
mutilated body of a young woman,
burned to a blackened mass, was
found in the ruins of a cabin in a
deserted summer rcaoif on shore*
of Deep Lake near here early today,
i gruesome clue, police believe, to a
murder and an incendiary fire to hide
its traces.
The head, legs and arms were miss-
ing and police expressed the opinion
hey had been hacked off before the
body was burned.
All means of identifying the body
ad been burned away but police said
the condition of the body led them to
believe the woman might have been
the victim of gangsters known to
haunt the summer resort throughout
the winter when the cabins are not
occupied by the owners.
The body was discovered by mem-
bers of the Antioch Fire Department
after they had been summoned to the
blazing cabin by Edward Schram, 49,
a caretaker, who has charge of the
burned cotfage and several others.SUPPLIES HAVE ARRIVED

failed to reach an agreement with Col.
Jacob Ruppert, president of the Yan-
kee team. He had refused an
agreement for $80,000 a season for two
reasons or $85,000 for this season.
In his ultimatum Ruth said he
would turn in his uniform after the
practice game with the Boston Brave*
in event the demand was not met and
that turning in of the qniform would
mean retirement until the Yankee
leaders had met his demands.
“I owe it to myself to protect my-
self against possible injury'while Col-
onel Ruppert is considering my de-
mands,” Ruth said. ”1 am sorry to
take this stand, but after talking it
over with Mrs. Ruth and with friends

When Colonel Ruppert received the
Ruth ultimatum, he said that it was
up to Babe to do as he pleased, and
that the club -had made its final of-

"If Ruth wants to turn in his uni-

own business,” said the colonel, “In

several hundred business and profes-
sional womens’ clubs will observe Ed-
ucation Day during National Business
Women’s Week, March 10 tp 16.
The program of the day will in
many communities take the form of
^vocational conferences with girls in
the high school* Vocational speak-''
ers’from business and professional
women’s clubs will go into the public
schools to deliver addresses to these
girls, and to tell them of the advant-
ages which result from a good educa-
tion, and of the blind alley jobs in
which they are likely to find them-
selves if they begin business life with
less than a complete high school
training.
Conferences with school authorities
also will be held to discuSs how a
closer alliance may be brought about
between commercial departments in
the schools and business and profes-
sional wor J Jabs. Addresses will
be given to school girls on the im-
portance of selecting the right voca-
tion.
In many communities business
women will invite frank comment
from business men dealing with their
faults as well as their good points.
Mass meetings, for example, will be
held at which prominent business men
will discuss what is required of the
woman going into business today.
School authorities will follow this up
by speaking on what the modern
school is doing to prepare the girl for
business, and business and profes-
sional women will tell what their or-,
ganization is doing to help.
The educational program of the Na-
tional Federation of Business and Pro-
fessional Women’s Clubs was inaugu-
rated nearly ten years ago, and has
always had as its slogan, “At least a
high school education for every busi-
ness girl.” .
More than 500 scholarship funds
have been established in local busi-
ness and professional women’s clubs
to help realize this ideal, and over !,-
000 girls owe their business education
in whole or in part to these funds.
More than $155,000 has been disbursed
since the work began.Old Automobile* President of Washington Co.
