tectives seeking the Missing Miss, hav-
ing failed to identify her properly from
the pictures already published of her
two hats, her eyes, her mouth, chin and
neck, and even her shoulders, THE
EVENING STAR today offers pic
ture of her ear. 1t is worth $50 in
gold to the skilful detective. The Ber
tillon system of Identification depends
on the features of the ear more than
on anything else for the accurate iden-
tification of a person. No two ears
are alike. The difference is much more
easily recognized in the ear than in
the lines of the thumb. Study this
ear of the Missing Miss, which has it's
own popularity, and you will be able
to tell the Missing Miss when you see
her.
Today the Missing Miss, who tells
of her exciting adventures at the Mar
ket street station and in the Hill sec
tion and East Orange, is abroad in the

of Newark She is distributing orders
for money on the cashier of THE
EVENING STAR. None of these or
ders is for less than a dollar. She
just loses them to indicate that she
has been where they are found. To-
morrow she will tell where she lost"
them.

Theatre tonight. She will be there when
the curtain rises and will remain
throughout the performance. She is
