DISCOVER CLEW TO
MURDERER OF MODEL
Wealthy Chicaqoan Suspected of Kill
ing Grace Roberts at Philadelphia
Was Jealous of Woman.

Philadelphia, Jan. 2.-The curtain Of
mystery that draped the brutal muir
der Of Maize Colbert, alias Mrs. Grace
Roberts, pretty model, who was found
dead in her apartments, was drawn
aside and revealed the story Of trag-
edy that rivaled the most weird
dreams of Poe.
The name Of the man who tortured
and then killed the woman is now in
the hands Of the police and, according
to detectives, will lead to a man
standing high in business circles Of
Chicago and this city.
The "man from Chicago" met Mrs.
Roberts about year ago, fell desper-
ately in love with her and when she
refused to discontinue her friendship
with other men killed her rather than
see his worldly sweetheart travel the
primrose path.
After being murderously beaten the
young woman was beaten to death
I'm her apartment with the very ar
ticle of clothing which her figure had
pOpulariZed in advertising pictures
throughout the country-a silk stock
ing. But death had all but been
dealt the young woman before her
murderer drew the stocking tight
around her neck, Her skull was frac-
tured.
v A valuable lavaliere was undis-
turbed and money in bureau drawer
was intact. One piece of jewelry-a
handsome diamond ring Of AZ karats
was missing. She had first been
struck in the face with a fist, then
when she showed she could fight her
assailant used flat iron to crush her
skull and then tied her own silk stock
ings around her throat. Finger prints,
stamped in blood, covered the bed
clothing and walls. A blood-stained
silk shirt and collar that had never
been Numbered were also found to
have the same prints.

WILSON AGREES ON BONDS
Accedes Tentatively to Plan of Admin
istration Leaders to Meet
Big Deficit.

Washington, Dec. 3O-President
Wilson has tentatively agreed with adj
Iministration leaders in congress on q
bond issue to meet part of the treas
ury deficit which confronts the govern.
iment for the fiscal year ending June
so. 1918, estimated at about $1SO,OOO,-
600. With Secretary McAdoo the
president is working on other plans for
raising additional revenue.
The president has pointed out that
he believes bond issue should be used
only to meet temporary and emergency
expenditures. Many Of these have
been caused by the Mexican situation.
The treasury already has authority
by previous acts of congress to issue
Panama bonds, and about $40 600, 600
OF these are available.

Smile ALWAYS Gets Results.

Do you know that when your face
wears a smile, other people smile, too,
without knowing why? Or when you
look cross or downcast, other faces
become shadowed? 1t is fine thing
to pass your lightness of heart along,
but how about the other? If we are
feeling sad, let us try to keep 1t to
ourselves, and not, by an overcast
face, pass it on to someone else.-

MUSIC IN THE HOME.
It's Refining and Joyous Influence
Should Be Welcomed.

Should Be Welcomed
So much is done for the children
nowadays. So many different sorts Of
knowledge are crammed into them at
school. They devote themselves to so
many things uncOnnected either with
childhood or home life Meanwhile one
opportunity-rich in possibilities for
happiness-is too often neglected. Mr..
Josef Stransky gives wise counsel In
this matter:
"The way to love music, to increase
it's production, is to know it when you
are young-young individually and
young as a nation. It is much more
difficult to prepare people to enjoy mu-
sic after they are grown up and their
minds have become crowded with vari-
GUS interests in life. The American
nation should not let it's youth slip by
without filing the souls of the children
with music.
"As yet the young people here co not
have their minds directed definitely
enough in musical channels. l do not
see groups of children standing about
a piano in the twilight and singing to
a mothers accompaniment. l do not
see the boys Of neighborhood forming
a small orchestra and playing really
fine music, as they do in France and
Germany"
Mr.. Stransky overstates his case
somewhat We know Of a New Eng
land farmers family of six children,
each playing a different instrument,
who, with father and mother, make q
real little orchestra. And there are a
good many such groups Of the sort Mr..
Stransky says he has not seen-young-
sters about their mother at the piano.
But there should be still more-many
more. There cannot be too many, for,
as the wise conductor says, music is
something more than mere entertain
ment. It is "a serious and permanent
Joy In life to keep the emo.
lions stirred, the imagination young"

that their mere sound calls up vague

ton of their work, produce an atmos-

regarding it: Last winter my little boy, five
