ORIGIN OF FAMILIAR TERM


Exactly how our language came
into possession Of the word dead
head" which is so frequently used
in connection with the t%ransporta-
ton business, is not known. OF the
many versions Of its origin which
are current the following, whether
correct or not, is at least the most
interesting:
Many years ago the principal ave-
nue. of a town passed close to the en-
trance of a toll road leading to a
cemetery. As this cemetery had
been laid out some time previous to
the construction Of the road. it was
arranged that all funeral professions
should be allowed to pass along the
road free Of toll.
One day, as a well-known physi-
clan who was driving along this road
stopped to pay his toll, he observed
to the keeper; considering the be-
nevolent character of our profess ON.

GRACE COMFY MISSING
E. A. Coney, night manager for the
Postal Telegraph and Cable Co., ar
rived in Chicago last night to lead
the search for his daughter, sociol
worker, who disappeared in the Chi
cago slums last week.
Grace Coney left her home three
years ago. She told her father she
preferred to make her own living. She
came to Chicago from New York and
entered social service work with the
Northwestern University Settlement.
A letter to her sister, written
shortly before she disappeared, told
how she was in love with fellow
worker.
Her disappearance parallels that of
Dorothy Arnold, who dropped out of
sight in the slums of New York four
years ago. No trace was ever found
of her.
