Like this, IL was arranged:
M Mrs. Searle walked into the Sunday
|newspaper's office---the office of the
Newspaper which Mrs. Charlton takes in
HI home -and submitted to somebody
seopy for an ad., the reading of which
4okould have had the effect, even upon
40 Office boy, of introducing the woman
! a this manner:
S n want you to introduce me to some

Ndesire to interest them in. All ask is
that you give me access to your sub
Ssrcription list and give me chance at
their pocketbooks. I'LL DO THE

Mrs. Searle's ad. was taken without
Question, because she had the money to
hay for 1t.

turn, good picking.

Mrs. Charlton had some money she
would like to invest and became inter

ing?
That is how Mrs. Charlton, living on
the far east side of Detroit, came to
meet (blindfolded. by the way) Mrs.
Searle, of the west side, and how, as
the police allege. she came near being
made her victim.
Mrs. Searle, of course, will not get any
of Mrs. Charlton's money now to pro-
mote her goiter-removing, get-rich-

No thanks are coming, however, to

The police were on hand when Mrs.
Searle called, and two detectives were
hidden behind curtain while she was
painting the picture TO which Mrs.
Charlton was expected to add the golden
touch.
When Mrs. Searle had finished her
talk, the detectives stepped out and ar
rested her on a warrant sworn out by
another woman, who early in February
had put $500 into the company, which.
however, she couldn't pursuade Mrs,
Searle to get going.
This other woman was introduced to
Mrs. Searle by her family newspaper,
too.

newspaper yet?
Wonder if she is still taking a news

AS one state after another outlaws the drink traffic the astonished liquor men ask, Whats the matter. any way?" That question is easily an swered. The thing that's all wrong is liquor itself, and the people are find. ing 1t out The dispensary plan: the high license plan; the government owned saloon; the family liquor store; Sunday closing; early closing; strict supervision: abolishment Of free lunch. music, tables and games; the system of having only one saloon to so many population; local option-all of these are mere subterfuges.

 Clean Up" has had its place in the worlds vernacular. With Spring the desire to refurbish comes sub consciously into the hearts of men and women, and communities. But without direction and sustained effort the expression of that desire, in the form of the ordinary Clean Up Day or Week" is apt to result in super ficial sally against filth.
 Years ago Allen w. Clark, a St Louis editor, made up his mind that this natural Clean Up" instinct could be turned to account, that it could be developed into a real campaign work ing toward definite ideals and accom- plishing permanent results. And so, in May 1912, MT. Clark founded the National Clean Up and Paint Up Campaign Bureau. with headquarters in St. Louis. He hoped that thor ough-going movement, national i'll it's scope and practical in it's principles, might take the place of the annual bath" idea as expressed in the old-time clean up day" or week
