OF her daughter, Marjorie Thompson,
fifteen years old, missing since July
81. Mrs. Marie Thompson is having
pictures or the girl flashed on the
screen In the moving picture ho;lEes
OF every big city in the country. The
pictures have already been shown here
and In Baltimore, Atlantic City, New
York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.
Mrs. Thompson IL beginning fear
that her daughter Is dead. now that
twenty-four days have elapsed with
practically no clue as to her where
abouts. She left home with SIS, de-
claring she did not want to 90 to
boarding school, but would make her
own way In the world.
'I never dreamed the child would
stay away so long" Mrs. Thompson
told The Times this morning. "She
was angry with me when she left
home and thought at first she would
stay away to frighten me. can't be-
lieve she could stay away as long a.
this unless some one 10 holding her.
The pictures OF Marjorie are accom-
panied by the announcement that .

and the man won't take a girl home.
'T know now that ought to have

All I hope Is that myself and other

Because she accepted the invitation
Of a passing motorist who kept her in
his car all evening, until It was go
late she was afraid to 30 home, Mary
says she was obliged to wander about
not knowing what to do. or where TO
go. Finally q young man found her
at o'clock in the morning at the
corner Of Twelfth and Pennsylvania
avenue. She was crying, and he took
her to the rooming house where he
lived. She stayed there until Thurs
day afternoon, when she left to 90
home. It was then the detectives
found her.
The most pathetic figure in the case
Is Mary's old father, owen Cooney,
twenty-seven years a Washington po-
ueeman. He had come to believe that
his daughter was dead and was so
overjoyed at finding her that he at
once forgave her all the anxiety she
had caused him.
Teased Into Going.
'I feel worst about my father"
Mary said. ''I didn't really intend to 90
for a ride Monday night, but this man
kept teasing me and finally I agreed
to ride as far as the Union StatInn
with him. That's where made my
mistake. A girl gets into q high-pow-
cred car with q man and after that
she's helpless. He can take her any
where he wants to, and keep her cut
as long as he likes.

he wouldn't take me. Then, when II
got awfully late, was ashamed to
60 home. It wasn't that was afraid
OF my father, because he's always
been awfully good to me, but / just
couldn't 60 home after being out so
late. / didn't have anything to eat
from the time / had my supper at
home Monday night until last night,
when they gave me something to eat
at the House of Detention.
Usually Dangerous.
Here in Washington girls are all

"The Grape OF Brazil"

A notable feature of gardens within
a certain area about Rio de Janelro Is
the jabotlcaba tree. The delicious fruit
Is often known as 'the grape Of Bra
zil' on account Of Its appearance, and.
as described in bulletin of the United
States department Of agriculture, Is
conspicuous from Its peculiar habit of
growing directly upon the bark, not
only Of the small limbs but even Of
the trunk and exposed roots. The tree,
growing to height of 35 to 40 feet,
branches freely close to the ground.
spreading into symmetrical leafy top
of great beauty. The flowers, produced
slngly and In clusters, often cover the
entire bark above the ground. The
fruit develops rapidly tot diameter Of
half an inch to an Inch and n half, has
n deep maroon-purple color, is covered
with thick, rather tough skin charged
with c0loring matter and much tannin,
and contains the translucent juicy
pulp, having an agreeable vinous fla
vor suggestive of the MIwcatine grape.
One to four flattened oval seeds,
quarter OF an inch long, are inclosed
in this pulp. The fruit tempts one to
eat indefinitely, the complaint being
that 1t Is impossible to satisfy ones
appetite on jaboticabas.

Two Kinds of Hunger.

The mother who Is sole parent may
feel compelled to go out to work, and
in so doing she will change her ideas.
Her employment outside will not be
all loss to her children. But she
should realize that her fatherless chill
dren want much more from her than
decent meals and tidy frocks. If she
has to strive to replace her husband
she may have to do a mans work.
and she ought to get mans pay for
1t. But with the pay she must bring
home something to educate and amuse
her children. She must not wholly ig
more, rs she so often does, the hunger
of the childish mind. 1t Is hard to ask
women, with their lesser strength of
body, to perform this double parental
task in the upbrlnglng of their chill
dren. But It Is necessary If the child
is not to suffer. SO many women are
guilty of this sort Of neglect only be-
cause they do not quite realize the
craving Of the mind for knowledge.
No mother alive to her duties allows
herself to be satisfied when she has
fed the chlldren's hunger with ma
terlal things. She realizes that there
Is greater hunger than this-the
hunger of the mind.-Exchange.

Queer Sort of Butter.

A queer sort of butter is obtained in
Trinidad, where cows and cream are
scarce. This butter is the boiled-down
fat of bird called the guacharo. The
Illustrated World says that this bird
lives In the darkest caves, and seldom
Is seen In the daylight. The young
birds are extremely plump and from
them is obtained rich fat, the natives
very good substitute for butter. The
birds are taken from their nests when
two or three weeks old. After they
are killed, they are put on to boil, not
In water, but In their own fat. The
natives experience some difficulty In
getting at the nests Of the guacharo,
for they must creep through caves and
wade through stagnant pools to reach
their prey. The full-grown guacharo is
so timid that no one ever has been able
to photograph living specimen.
