for the young woman's disappearance.
and police have been unable to ind
q single clue as to her whereabouts.
That the young woman Is still In

gible clue that the officers had to

any clothing other than what she
wore, according to the police.

that she was missing, members Of the
family made a frantic effort to locate
her in Northview, but without avail.

aid in the search this morning and a
description Of the missing girl was
given to every member Of the force.
Chief H. l.. Brooks and City Detec-
tive L. L. White were paying special
attentionto the case.
Temporary insanity was thought by
some to have cause the girl to leave
home under such mysterious circum-
stances. and police officials seemed III
clined to take this theory.
NJ. L. Barnes, father Of the girl, was
in Clarksburg today, making an effort
to locate his daughter here. While
here he explained the case to the local
police, and was promised that they
would aid him in every manner pos.

One phase of the food question to
which Miss Hanko gives especial at

None Of the recipes which she uses in
her cookery lessons call for expensive
ingredients. It is the aim of her
course to teach women who come out
to hear her how they may reduce their
bills without in any way stinting their
families or making the meals less en-
Ijoyable. Having given the matter
careful andscentific study she is able
TO suggest how women may buy better
foods more economically and how
some foods which they now consider
cheap and unfit for use may be so
prepared as to yield a great deal Of
rourishment and afford the family
much pleasure. Especially is this true
Of cheap cuts Of meat. Economical
cakes are also a feature which Miss
