NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Henry lehman,
prominent clothing manufacturer of this
city, living at 1it Star street, Williams
burg, Brooklyn, yesterday requested the
7th Branch Detective Bureau TO make an
exhaustive search throughout eastern
Pennsylvania for his 15-year-old niece
Rose Commander, n schoolgirl, who mys-
teriously disappeared with two unknown
men on August 23.
To avoid publicity, the family had not
complained to the city police, but had
employed private detectives, who fruit
lessly followed slight clues from many
cities and learned nothing of her where
abouts.
The girl Is an orphan and lived with
lehman and her aged grandmother, Mrs.
Commander, who has become dangerously
Ill since the disappearance. The family
received n postal card. soiled and torn,
from the girl, dated Pottstown, Pa, in
which the girl begged for help, stating
that she was being held a prisoner, but
giving no address or other tangible clue.
Detectives from here are searching In

undoubtedly held by white slavers. as her

ENOUGH DOPE NABBED
TO 'SOUSE' THREE CITIES
Travelling Bag, Found in Snow,
Holds Near-Fortune in
Outlawed Drug

James Kane went into his back yard at
1909 Lemon street today and found a
russet travelling bag half hidden In the
snow. He took IL into the house and
opened 1t. Then he sent for the police.
The bag was filled with dark. ominous.
looking bottles, filled with pills and pow.
der. Kane thought the powder might be
dynamite He was mistaken but It was
substance almost as dangerous. The
Federal Government doesn't prohibit the
sale of dynamite, but 1t does forbid the
sale OF morphine.
The bag, innocent looking enough on the
outside. contained enough dope TO provide
a glorious "jamboree" for all the habitues
OF the New York, Chicago and Philadel.
phia Tenderloins combined, enough dope
to net n small fortune to some peddler
operating In defiance of the provisions of
the Harrison anti-narcotic act.
About 35 bottles we're In the bag. Kane
was afraid to open them until District
Detectives Titus and Kearse had arrived
from the 10th and Buttonwood streets po-
lice station. The detectives summoned
Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue
John Glover. They took the bag and its
contents to the home of Dr. Harry Blng-
ham, a chemist of 10th and Callowhill
streets. The four men put their heads
together and decided the bottles con-
Ndlltu HlOTpnlne.
They got out pencil and paper and be-
gan very simple sum in arithematic.
The morphine pills numbered $1,000 Half
of the bottles, which were big enough to
hold pint of liquid substance, contained
morphine in the powdered form.
There was also small amount of
codeine. derivative of morphine. and a
small scale, such as Is used by chemists
and druggists.
The entire outfit, II Is estimated, Is
worth $500 wholesale. with the high
prices which morphine is now bringing
this would be worth many times that
amount to a peddler.
Where the dope came from the police
do not know, but they have hope that
they will soon find out The labels were
scratched from all the bottles, but several
had the name of New York chemical
firm imprinted in the glass. It is the
theory of the police that the morphine
represents the results of n robbery at
some establishment, and that the chief,
fearing he was watched. threw the bag
over the fence into Kane's yard hoping
that he would be able to get It today.
If the morphine is not claimed. 1t will
be turned over to the Philadelphia Hos
pital. ''Tis an i'll wind that blows no good.
and the city will save some money.

And One of Them Is as
Nearly Like Standard of
Perfection as 1t Is Posi-
BILE to Be

Venus de Milo is perfect. Wellesley
Colleges Composite Venus" approxi-
mates the Venus de Milo But Swarth-
more Colleges Composite Venus" not
only defeats the Wellesley approximation
of perfection in the aggregate, but also
contains an individual who in weight,
height, neck. waist and chest measure
ments is so nearly like the Venus de
Milo measurements as to make the differ
ences ininistesimal and negligible.
The Venus de Milo, as she stands in the
Louvre, In fear and trembling lest a
bomb from Zeppelin annihilate her
perfections for all time and leave only
the pale and spirltless copies in plaster
to show what the world may lose, is
larger than life. Translated into terms
of flesh and blood, her measurements are
held to be the matchless standard of
femlninity, although some consider her
a little too short, and thin persons con-
slider her little too stout.
The total measurements of all the We'll
lesley girls were taken and added up and
divided by the number of girls to get an
average. Then Wellesley crowed. Be-
cause they had approximated the ideal.
The same has been done at Swarthmore,
and now Swarthmore can crow louder,
for the average of Swarthmore co-eds
measurements is nearer perfection than
That Is because Swarthmore is nearer
Philadelphia than Wellesley. In Phla-
delphia live the most beautiful girls in
the world. The reincarnation of the
Venus de Milo lives in Philadelphia. But
that is aggression.
In Swarthmore College Is to be found
not only a better aggregate Venus, but
an almost exact duplication of the Venus
de Milo measurements in one person. This
young woman is so little different in
weight, height, neck. chest and waist
measurements from the Venus in the
Louvre that the difference is not worth
talking about. For instance. the Venus
de Milo, were she flesh and blood, would
be feet 40 inches in height, whereas this
girl is feet 4.S inches In height, and the
difference is less than the thickness of the
thinnest dancing pump sole.
To cap the climax. Miss Margaret Will
let's, who measures up so we'll to the
Venus standard, actually looks good
