Ethel Oliver Still
Securely Hidden

Ethel Oliver, missing Tacoma
girl, who reappeared at her home
Sunday, is still missing, as far as
the public is concerned.
Under the protective wing of
University of Washington soror-
ity girls and sorority house ma
irons, women who never tell a
secret" Ethel is living in peace
and quiet. undisturbed by inquisi-
tive callers.
She is a domestic in one of the
sorority houses.
Only an understood Seattle
juvenile officer and Ethel's moth
er acknowledge that they know
just where you can find the girl
and they won't tell.
Colds Innocent.
The truth-telling, gossiping CO.
eds innocently profess entire ig-
norance of the whole matter, all
the while holding down the cur
tain which protects Ethel Oliver
from the public gaze.
The discovery of Ethel, on the
campus, under an assumed name,
is the leading coed gossip to-
day. Yet IL you visit sorority
house the dear little co-eds will
invite. you to sit in an easy coed
chair and then begin to fling at
you their expressions of astonish-
ment at the extraordinary cir
cumstance.
Ethel has found some good
friends on the campus who are
Systematically keeping her out of
the limelight; and so far nobody
has "squealed."
Merrill Says So.

der an assumed name, is vouched

whom she told her whereabouts.
Immediately after her disappear
ance she went TO Seattle and OBJ
tanned employment on the cam
pus.
Her mother visited her Thurs
day afternoon. Mother and
daughter patched up all their diff
ferences and everybody is happy.
Yet systematic search of all
the sorority girls homes-as far
as a poor man reporter dared to
go-yesterday failed to reveal
even q glimpse of Ethel.
Will Murder Out?
DR. Merrill says the house ma
tron doesn't want Ethel to have
callers, and that Ethel herself
doesn't want to have her tranquil
life with the girls disturbed.
Md the mothering, gossiping
co-eds have gone to her protec-
ton loyalty.
All is quiet along the campus.

somebody else the secret and

WON'T QUIT NOW

WASHINGTON, d. c., April s.
The United States will regard
It's mission into Mexico as COM
pleted when the de facto govern
ment is able to relieve the expedi-
ton or when Villas bands are
broken up.
This became known today from
the original orders which the war
department gave Gen. Funston.
When asked whether a time
limit had been placed on the ex-
petitions operations in Mexico,
the department revealed the Off
cial orders given Funston at the
beginning of the campaign,
March 10.
They directed Funston to or
ganize an adequate force under
Gen. Pershing and instruct him
to cross the border in pursuit of
the Villistas who raided Column
bus. The troops will be with
drawn as soon as the de facto
government is able to relieve
them. In any event the work will
be regarded as finished when
Villas band or bands are broken
up"
The hunt for Villa must con-
tinue, army men believe, even
though it may be necessary to
chase Villa to the end of Mexico.
The trail is clear, although
Villa appears to be miles ahead.

will take three months.
In order to route the regular

to be relaid, Bean says.
I'VE will not begin work until
June, because we want to take

Villa let it be known, several
