which reached headquarters today.
Working as compositor in small
newspaper office in an Indiana city,
she fell victim to tuberculosis thru
some ones carelessness. She was only
nineteen and the sole breadwinner for
a little family group which consisted
Of herself and her grandparents. Her
fellow workers noticed that her cough
became chronic and that day by day
she grew thinner and thinner but she
never confided her troubles to any one
She just "kept on the job" Through
an unknown channel the Kings
Daughters learned of the case, and
investigation proved that the girl slept
at night on a pallet laid on three
chairs so that she could be near the
two old people whom she was sup
porting.
Physicians pronounced her case
hopeless. and she was refused admit
tance to the state sanatorium for early
cases for this reason. She knew little
about the danger of spreading the dis
ease to other until recently, but she is
now being cared for at home through
Red Cross Seal funds and is taking

the present ordinances, this dispensed
with the office.
1t was proposed by those who were
present to urge the matter, that an
ordinance be adopted fixing the pow
er and authority of the police matron
and in substance, taking her work out
Of the regular police regulations
Nothing definite as to the details Of
the ordinance was proposed and the
entire matter went over to the next
meeting Of the city commissioners.
Should the plan discussed be adopt
ed 1t will not be possible to have the
ordinance adopted and published and
in force before the first Of the new
year.
One of the difficulties that presents
itself is the lack Of office room in the
city building for such an official. 1t
Is generally conceded that to have
the best efficiency, there should be an
Office in that building where the ma
tron would be able to be in i1nmed-
late touch with such cases as demand
her prompt attention. The present
city building is oyercrowded every
where. but if the ordinance suggest
ed is adopted. it is likely that some
provision will be made for an Office
at the city hall.

Mark Twain remarks in one of his

Mark was some criminologist. and
his regret anent the impossibility OF
arresting a clue. Is fully shared by the

Since the two suspects arrested by
the st. Paul police in connection with
the shooting of Patrolman John Bliv-
en- a week ago, succeeded in proving
their innocence in the case, the au-
thorities are rather at sea to know
where to turn next.
T. w. Lowe, chief Of police, said to-
day that he had a large number OF
clues in the case. but had not had
time as yet to fully investigate any Of
them. At present he has no informa-
ton Of sufficiently definite character
to make any statement
