BY THE MISSING MISS.

If / am not captured today 1t will not
be my fault. Certainly, with the pic
ture of me published yesterday and to-
day with the definite announcement of
where I will be today, almost to the
hour and corner. 1t seems that the de-
tectfve element has been almost elimi-
mated from the contest.
I will be down in the I%ronbound Dis
trict nearly all of today, or until I am
properly identified. If I am not identi-
fed, according to the rules, her I shall
try the Hill section and the Four Cor
ners tomorrow.
When I went out accommodating yes
terday I decided that today 1 would
be at Hamburg place and Ferry street
about moor
Between IL and 1 today / proposed
to be in the vicinity of factories whose
employees take lunch at that hour. In
the afternoon, SO I planned yesterday,
I would be in various parts of the dis
trict, picking out the main streets, so
far as possible. For 5 o'clock I had
planned to be in the immediate vicinity
OF t he Celluloid works. If I am not
there at Just s o'clock I will certainly
be before $3.50. That Is, providing
! am not caught before going there.
4 Must Have Right Paper.
with all of these details. given so
fully. the amateur sleuths who would
ind me should be very careful about
the conditions governing the contest.
First, they should be sure to have the
right paper. This paper, after 2 o'clock
this afternoon, must be today's edition
of THE EVENING STAR. 1t must be
carried conspicuously so I can see 1t
when the holder is approaching me.
Then the person who would identify
me properly must be absolutely certain
about the words they say. They must
have the words letter perfect. Other
wise I will ignore them.
The hat 1 wore yesterday when my
picture was taken up at the Public
Library I am wearing today. And, of
course, I have more than one dress.
Any good detective should be able to
capture me without trouble. But, while
the professional city detectives are not
barred, I do not want them to win the
prize. / want it to go to some n who
can use 1t for a fine summer vaca-
ton, or perhaps. to some one who needs
it badly for food and clothes.
The Ironbound District has COM
planned that the first Missing Miss did
not give them a chance. Well, here Is
a better chance than any Missing Miss
ever gave anyone.
Read These Rules Carefully.

THE EVENING STAR in the hand, so
/ may see 1t without having to ask for
It. This paper must be of the previous
days date If the Identification is made
before 2 p. M, and of the current days
issue If the Identification is made after
2 p. m.
Second, the person making the identi-
fication must be a resident of the State
Of New Jersey, cannot be an employee
or former employee of THE STAR, or
a member of an employees household.
Boys under 1e are barred.
And, third, the amateur detective
who would win the award must ad-
vance to me and say. while holding the
right edition of the paper:

Jerseys greatest evening newspaper.

] will not try to conceal my identity
nor will I cry 1t broadcast among the
multitude. But, / will not wear masks
or wigs or alter my appearance as in
dictated in the pictures. And. If any
one properly qualified identifies me, ac-
cording to the Jules / have set forth, I
will readily admit my identity and will
award the prize.
