FIND MRS. MILLS
CHECK IN STREET
But the Police Think That Saloonkeep-
er's Discovery May Be
Hoax.

Chicago, March IA small black
purse containing check for Sal 600 on
the state bank of Elkhart, Ind, made
payable to III. L. Stevens" and signed
Mrs. Mabel Mills" was found on the
sidewalk at North Clark street and Gen.
ter avenue Wednesday by William J.
| Dibos, a saloonkeeper at 2l00 North
| Iialsted street
h Dibos turned the check over to the
police. 1t is dated March /, 1913, the
date on which Mrs. Mills, now at Kan
sas City, claims to have lost or been
in some manner deprived of $4,000 in
thousand dollar bills.
While the find appeared on the sur
face to be genuine, the police could not
disregard the theory of hoax. This
theory was strengthened by the fact
that Mrs. Mills has no account at the
Elkhart bank; that she and Stevens
apparently have had no business rela-
tions, and BY the statement of Il. W.
Mills, Mrs. Mills husband, at Kansas
City, that it is absolute nonsense"
Mrs Mills had taken dinner with Mrs.
II. L. Stevens, wife of the man whose
name is the same as that appearing
on the check found by the saloon man.
She is supposed to have lost the money
that evening after leaving the Stevens
home, which is in the suburb of Evans
ton, several miles north of the spot
where the check was found.
In the purse also were a number of
newspaper clippings recounting real es-
tate offers, some of which had been
checked off Mrs. Mills is in the real

GIRLS WIN PRIZES
FOR BEING CLEAN
Five Were Awarded Ribbons For TAX
ing Three Baths Every
Weak

Chicago, March Prizes as reward
for cleanliness have worked wonders
among girls attending the West Side
mission, according to Rev. Daniel X.
Ford and Mrs. Ford, who are in charge
of it. In order to impress them with
the necessity of bathing, the Rev. Mr..
Ford frequently told them that the APP
plication of water to the skin was con-
ducive to health and beauty and more
beneficial than the sewing classes of in
dustrial schools. The lectures did not
accomplish all that was desired, and
then hair ribbons were offered as prizes
with far better effect.
Give girls were awarded ribbons the
first week. said Mrs. Ford Wednesday,
"each had record Of three baths for
the time. The girls demurred on TAX
ing to the water at first. Finally we
got class of Is girls to go bathing,
and they have become regular ducks"
