THINK LAUNDRESS
NOW IN CUSTODY
Woman of Mystery" in Muscs-
tine May Be One Who Dis
appeared From Home.

THE woman of mystery" now in
custody of the Muscatine police, is
thought TO be Mrs. Elizabeth Schol
lard, who disappeared suddenly one
evening several months ago from Beth
any home, where she was employed as
a laundress.
Mrs. Naomi Littig, matron Of the
home, has taken steps which she be
lieves will determine whether or not
the woman in Muscatine is her former
laundress.
About two weeks ago the Museanne
police arrested a woman in that CITY
who stated that she did not know nef
own name, but said that she came
from Silvis. Close watch was kep'
over her in an effort to learn more
about her, and several days ago, the
police announce, she had revealed ner
identity, but they refused TO give OIL
any further information about her.
She was termed the woman OF mys
terry" at first, when she was unable 70
give her name. Mrs. Littig hopes 10
hear tomorrow definitely whether VI
not the woman is Mrs. Schollard.

CONDUCT EXAMS
Whenever ASKED
State Civil Service Commission
Names Physicians to Test
the Applicants.

Another important step has been
taken by the state civil service COM
mission to make it an easy matter for
applicants for hospital positions to be
examined. Physicians have been Sc
iected at points where many appli-
cents usually come from and they will
conduct the entire examination at any
time for attendant, domestic or Ia
borer, free of any charge to the appli-
cant
The method used in the past was to
hold examinations once a month at a
few of the larger towns in the state.
Frequently, applicants were put to
much expense in going to the eXamin-
alton. By this latest arrangement
they can be examined either in their
home town, or, at the worst, will not
have to leave their county. This
scheme, when used in connection with
examinations daily at the hospitals,
and the regular examinations the first
Saturday of each month. makes it very
easy for an applicant to place himself
in line for a state position.

Why both of those would please,
If only could take them in

The stuff is just the same.

And that we take, in joke.
