Retail Merchants VIII Consider
Campaign Tomorrow Night.

The early Christmas shopping propa.
ganda of the Retail Merchants Associa-
ton and other important matters will be
considered tomorrow night at a meeting
of the entire membership OF the Retail
Merchants Association.
Female help is in the preponderance in
local retail stores. and since the District

plOyes 1t is impossible for the stores to
secure sufficient trained help to provide
the shifts that would be necessary for
keeping the establishments open even
ings before Christmas.
President R. P. Andrews has addressed
letter to each firm comprising the asso-
citation, requesting a prompt and full at

DEAD" SISTER IS FOUND.
Ohio Woman ReJoIns Family After
Many Years.

Chicago. Nov. 1.-two middIe-aged
women met in Union station and discov-
cred they were sisters who had not seen
each other for twenty years. One was
Mrs. Laura Kranz, the other Mrs. Bertha
Martin.
A score Of years ago. Laura left her
home in Youngstown. Ohio, and came to
Chicago. Then she went farther West
and in a few years word came that she
was dead.
Mrs. Martin was about to take a train
for the home OF her parents near Alton,
Ill, when a strange woman threw her
arms around Mrs. Martins neck. The lat
ter at first refused to believe Mrs Kranz
was her sister. Laura had a birthmark
under her left ear. Bertha brushed
back the woman's hair; the mark was
not there She accused Laura of being
a confidence woman.
The latter proved by a physicians
memorandum book that the doctor had
removed the MAJ: three years ago and
the sisters were soon on their way to
visit their parents.
