New Half Dollars
Said To Be Dandy's S

The average individual was perhaps
not aware that the half dollar has in
recent years been waning in popularity,
vet such is the statement made from
Washington. And in order to restore it
to the general favor, special care was
taken to have the new design attractive.
Hence several artists were called into
consultation and a few sculptors, and
the result is what may now be seen in
the new coin. The real description is
as follows: 1t bears full length figure
of Liberty, the folds of the stars and
stripes flying to the breeze as a back
ground, progressing in full stride to-
wards the dawn of a new day, carrying
branches of laurel and oak, symbolical
of civil and military glory. The hand
of the figure is outstretched in bestow-
al of the spirit of liberty. On the re-
verse side is an eagle, perched high up
on mountain erag, his wings unfolded,
fearless in spirit and conscious Of pow
er Springing from rift in the rock is
sapling of mountain pine, symbolical
Of America.

new half dollar comes in view, that

No Trace of Kidnapped
Girl Found in Chicago

Chicago, Jan. 29.-Although police
and private detectives have searched
the "black belts' of Chicago, Gary,
Evanston, Hammond and adjoining
suburbs, no trace of Marjorie Delbridge
II year old southern girl, who was kid
mapped Friday night, has been found.
She is believed to be in the hands of
negro friends of Mrs. Camilla Jackson,
her "mammy and the authorities are
redoubling their efforts to find her to-
day.
Since Marjorie was found by welfare
workers at the Little Dixie cabin on the
levee where the old ex-slave lived, and
made ward Of the juvenile court by
Judge Bowles, muttered threats have
been made against "those white folks
bv "Mammy's' dusky following. The
golden haired, vivacious child virtually
ruled "Little Africa" and was the idol
Of the negroes. She was known as
Z" Nanny Jackson's chile. Even
among her dark hued playmates the
color line asserted itself and Marjorie
was always better dressed, more con-
siderately treated and respected. At
the "white chilluns' school where
I" Nanny" sent her, she maintained
her standing, even studying music un-
der private teacher.
Backing the authorities in the search
for the girl the fight to take her from
her alleged negro abduetors is the
Daughters of the Confederacy, the
Southern Women s club and juvenile
officials They claim that Marjorie is
the daughter of a New Orleans actress,
who while on the stage was Obliged to
leave her infant in the care of the old
nanny Following her death, the ne
gress came to Chicago with the baby
and has cared for her since.

SUFFERING CATS!
GIVE THIS MAN
THE GOLD MEDAL

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes size smaller if you like
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
heves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out
This drug is sticky ether compound,
but dries at once and simply shrivels
up the corn without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue.
1t is claimed that quarter of an
ounce of freezone obtained at any drug
store will cost very little but is suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft corn
or callus from one IS feet. Cut this out,
especially if you are a woman reader
who wears high heels.
