FIND FROZEN BODY OF GIRL.
Nothing to Identify richly Clad Girl
Started Auto Trip.

New York, Jan. 27.-Thc body Of
handsome girl. about II, wearing ex-
pensive furs. was discovered by two
hunting dogs in a deserted spot In
dense woods about 500 feet off Syloan
road. TnGlcwood. y. J. today.
No deeper mystery has confronted
the police of New York or New Jersey

lyirr face downward with her head in
u shallow pool OF water
She had been dead about a month.
but thc body was In state OF almost
perfect preservation. as II had heetr
frozen! No marks OF violence could be
found by the medical examiner.
The only theory the police have Is
that the girl was carried to the lone
" spot after she had died in an auto
mobile or had been killed.
She was attired for long motor
trip. She wore fine raccoon coat
with a hat to mach. a heavy blue
serge suit. taped with black and OF
the finest material.
She also wore a white silk waist EN-
broidercd with pink roses. Her under
wear was OF the most expensive. Her
stockings may prove the girls identity.
as they are of peculiar design and
prove to the police she had started on
an auto trip.
They are Of heavy gray wool with a
distinctive checkered regular figure
woven into the top. She wore them
turned down below the knee in golf
fashion.
These stockings. the police say.
would not be worn by II gir whose
other garments were so dainty unless
she was planning to be in the cold. The
raccoon coat also Is taken as indication
that an automobile trip was started,
probably from New York. 5

Des Moines. Jan. c7.-Tho Iowa's
legislature was the thirty first to
ratify the federal prohibition amend
meut. this action has not been certi
fed to the federal state department, 1t
was said today. Not until last Satur-
day did Lieutenant Governor T.. z.
Moore. president OF tho senate, and
Arch W. McFarlane, speaker OF the
house. affix their signatures to the
resolution ratifying the amendment,
adopted overwhelmingly in both houses
of the legislature ten days ago.
Governor w. l.. Harding said the
resolution had not been called to his
attention. but II reached his office late
Saturday and he expected to sign 1t
late today. after which the secretary
OF state will certify the ratification to
Washington.
II was pointed out today that fail
urc to effect immediate certifcation
after adoption of the ratifylng rcsolu-
tion would deprive Iowa OF a place on

whose approval OF the amendment
made it part OF the federal constitu-

Red Oak. Jan. 21.-There is practi

help shortage which has existed in
Montgomery county for the past year,
says County Agent Frank Barker, and
this coming spring will see farmers
here as greatly in need of help as they
were last year.
There have already been great
many soldiers returning to their homes
in this county but this apparently has
not helped tha farm labor situation.
Every soldier who is discharged at
Camp Dodge to return to Montgomery
county and who indicates that he
wants work on farm is directed to
see Mr. Barker or Gordon Hayes. who
are in charge Of the county employ
ment bureau for returned soldiers, but
Mr.. Barker saws that there have not
vet been any soldiers making inquiry
for farm work. Evidently those who
wanted this kind of work have been
able to find it without assistance.
