It would be equally shortsighted for Washing ton to license shipment of other articles which can be used as substitutes for the domestic products ex ported by Denmark, Norway Sweden to Germany. That is the outstanding problem which the exports council created to handle.
 At the present time ships loaded with cargoes for Scandinavian ports tied their docks at the At antic ports In the Baltimore alone eighteen grain laden ships destined for Holland and Norway are awaiting permits to sail Some have been tied up for more than a month Week before last one ships cargo containing 1000 tons of dumped over board because 1t had spoiled Fifty more ships are awaiting orders in New York

FRIDAYS BAD NAME

The protest from Chicago against drafting the National Army Friday made by men who do not think Friday is any more unlucky than any other day, but they knew that there many people who have distaste for beginning enterprises on the sixth day of the week. It in pagan times re- garded a lucky day, but the crucfixion gave it a name, which is reflected every week in the num- Der of marriage licenses taken out.
 It is certain that the superstition affects the his tory of every week, and that people, even some of those say they have superstitions, frame their plans with respect the unluckness of Friday, while a Friday which falls the thirteenth day or the month is positively dreaded.
 Some industrious candidate for doctors degree in sociology might make statistical study of the Frl- day superstition and start systematic campaign Tn behalf of day which has better days and IS now unreservedly parah But we would not go so far as say that 1t ought to be restored to US an cient place as a day of good for then the pess miss would probably turn to blue Monday ana make it worse than black Friday is now.

Chicago. Feb. "A nationwide
search is on today, at request of the
Chicago police. for Marjorie Delbrdse,
pretty little 14-year-old girl whose
odd career, climaXed by her sudden
disappearance, has earned her the
title of THE Child of Mystery"
Since the little girl for whom the
police in all parts of the country are
searching, was three weeks of age she
has lived with NANNY Camilla
Jackson a negro woman, who today is
reported in a SERIOUS condition as n
result Of grief over failure to find 'her
baby" "i!te z,
The juvenile court has taken an in
terest in the matter and in efforts to
place her in home in case she is
found, faces these questions regarding
the mystery child:
Who is her mother?
Who is her father?
Is she white or black?
Is she an heiress?
Was she Kidnapped?
Here is the story of the child as
told police and juvenile court author.
tiles by Nanny" Jackson:
Fourteen years ago when | was

Atlanta, Ca, where lots of actor PEG.
pie came, there was beautiful young
actress lady, Miss Davis.
"She was sick and was her nurse.
She died and gave me her baby just
three weeks old. She said to me:
Keep her for me. Teach her that she
is white child, some day someone
will come for her."
The baby was called Marjorie Del
bridge. NANNY" has cared for her
ever since, living part of the time in
Atlanta and part Of the time in the
"black belt" of Chicago. The child
always lived among negroes.
Until four years ago, according to
NANNY" Jackson, man named
Davis, living somewhere in the south
and known as an uncle of the child,
contributed to the support of Marjorie.
Lately Nanny" Jackson has. had sole
care of the little girl.
A short time ago the juvenile court
sought to take Marjorie from her
negro NANNY" and place her in a
state school. Nanny" secured two
attorneys to help her keep possession
of cher baby
1t was while Marjorie was visiting
at the home of Mrs. Louis Brock a
southern woman in Chicago who want
ed to adopt the child, that Marjorie
disappeared.
NANNY" Jackson went to the
Brock home to see Marjorie. They
went to the door to say goodbye and
the disappearance occurred.
Closely questioned by the police,
NANNY" denied that she was in
league with kidnappers or that she
knew anything of plan to whisk the
child away so court authorities could
not take her from Nanny and place
her in an institution.
The police are without good clues
and at a total loss to explain the mys-
FERROUS disappearance Of the mystery
child.
Meanwhile, NANNY" Jackson, aid
ed by the Universal Civic league, is
having attorneys prepare to carry her
