If the project is carried out tho high
school soldiers hereafter will carry their

BRAIN SILVER-PLATED.
That Is Why Thomas Slower Shot
at the Stars.

Because he wears In the back of his
head a silver plate in lieu OF skull
Thomas Slower, alias Charles Palmer,
whom the police say is an old visitor to
Moundsville, yesterday asked to be re-
leased after he had fired a revolver IN
the downtown section and thereby aroused
the neighbors at 2 o'clock Sunday morn
ing
I'm liable to be a little flighty at
times" Slower told the police. I'm La
BILE to do almost anything every once and
so often. You see, I've got five inches
of silver plate in my head. Every time
the brain near that silver remembers
how rich 1 am it gets stuck up and I do
foolish things
Stover's explanation has so far dissatis-
fed the police, and he will be called be-
fore Inspector Boardman at headquarters
this morning.
According to the police. Slower was
found walking in the middle of the street
and shooting at the stars with an old

In the experimental work for the de-

Backed by the hearty support Of Prin-

School, and Emory B. Wilson, Of Central
High School, students throughout the
city have begun a movement to establish

consent, probably will wear uniforms and

The band at present has on its register
ten cornetists, two clarinetists, one obo-
ist, two altoists, two trembones, one bass
born player, two snare drummers, one
lass drummer, and one cymbal player. 1t

MISSING GIRLS
LURED BY THESPIS

Lured by prospects of stage careers,
Myrtle Mahoney, twenty-one years old,
and Pearl Blackman, eighteen, are miss
ing from their homes in this city. They
disappeared last Tuesday morning
Through the appeal of Miss Blackman's
parents, the police instituted a search
for her in this and neighboring cities.
Both of the missing young women have
excellent voices, and have always shown
a fondness for the footlights. Recently
a theatrical manager, so the police say,
called at the home of the Blackman
girl and advised her against the wishes
of her parents that her ambition to be-
come an actress could be gratified. Miss
Mahoney told her father, the police say,
before she left home that she was going
to Norfolk to go on the stage, and dis
regarded his advice to the contrary.
Miss Blackman, who, the police say,
was with Miss Mahoney when the latter
made the announcement that she intended
leaving home, told her parents and rela-
tives of Miss Mahoney that she intended
to accompany her friend. 1t is believed
the ambition of the girl was aroused by
the success of Miss Sadie Stewart, a
former companion, who went to Norfolk
and made good in a part obtained by her
in a theatrical company.
