AS GIRL IS BORN;
" AN TED BOY
Husband Disappears as
Male Heir Fails to, Ar

Profession.

Nearly frantic over the disappear.
ance of her husband, Mrs. A. I.
Shoemaker, 3l8 North Twenty third
street, refuses to be comforted.

music, left home Saturday afternoon
to give a music lesson, and ] have

Since" walled the distracted young
wife and mother Of 4-month-o.d
Broods Over Baby.
"My husband, who is--not at all
well, was disappointed when the
baby came that it was not a boy,
whom he might train to follow his
profession. He has brooded ever
since baby came, and when was
compelled to go to the hospital
about month after the baby was
born he began brooding, and moths
ing hcould do would seem to cheer
him up.
We have been married but IS
months. ! met my husband while !
was spending the summer with my
sister at Las Vegas, N. NJ, where
he had gone for his health. We were
married i'll Denver a year ago last
September, after which we came to
Omaha to make our home.
II am so frightened for fear he
has been murdered or has met with
some accident. | read of SO many
bold murders aud holdups in the
papers, | can scarcely rest easy
thinking about him. Do you think
anything like that could have be-
fallen him?" she queried anxiously.'
when he failed to return home
for supper Saturday evening be-
came alarmed, as he had never been

bank where he has an account, but
they refused to tell me how his ac-
count stood, over the telephone. and
am not strong enough to lace the
weather outside to go down and
find out for myself whether or not
he withdrew any money IRON the
bank. Dear, dear, wish someone
could tell me something as to his
whereabouts" she moaned.
Disappointed in Baby.
Shoemaker, according to his wife,
was a man of abstemious habits,
who neither drank nor used tobacco
in any form. He had wanted boy
baby, whom he might train to be-
come musician. The arrival otthe
girl baby was a source Of the keen
est disappointment to him. and he
has never acted the same since the
child was born, according to Mrs.
Shoemaker.
He is light complexioned, five feet
five inches tail and had gray eyes.
When he left home he was dressed
in black with black hat and shoes.
Mrs. Shoemaker did not know to
Which, pupils home he went when

ed as the best route:
First, get about two dozen bricks.
Jack up the left hind side Of your car,
put six bricks under it. Jack up the
right-hand side of your car and put
six bricks under 1t, too.
Then, using sailor language, go for.
ward and jack up the right front side
and put six bricks under that. This
leaves only one more place to use
them and six bricks to be used. Jack
the left front side Of the car and put
the remaining six bricks under it,
take out the jack, put it in the tool
box, lock the tool box, lock the car,
lock the garage with the car inside
and take the next train.
How come this information? Just
speaking from the standpoint of a

HOW TO DETECT
THE STOCK SWINDLER

A good deal is being heard just now
about stock swindlers who persuade
thrifty people with small nest egg
to give up their War Savings Stamps
or Liberty Bonds in exchange for
worthless Shares of stocks" If you
think that the stock swindler Is al
ways a j. Rufus Wallingford, resplen-
dent in white vest, silk hat, spats, a
cane and a few diamonds, you are apt
to be taken in. For when the real
stock swindler approaches you prob
ably he will in no way correspond to
the mental picture you may have of
a promoter of worthless securities.
Here is the way he often looks, and
his method of approach, detailed In
the Dearborn Independent:
He has many ways of approach and
most of them are copied from the
methods employed by legitimate bus
mess. He may approach you person
ally, or he may do it through the
mails. He may have highly col
ored prospective or he may merely
make verbal promises and tell you of
the fortunes made in stocks. Per-
haps he employs newspaper advertise
ments It is not even impossible that
he may be resident of your COM
rmunity, knowingly or unknowingly
acting as the agent of sinister inter.
ests. The chances are that it will
be hard for you to distinguish be-
tween the responsible and the ire
sponsible concerns. The latter class

rowed mantle of responsibility. And
the chances are also that the stock
shark who is proceeding just within
the law, not far within but far
enough so that after you have relin-
pushed your bond or your money you
cannot reach him.
There are, however, two marks Of
the swindler which are common and
easy to see. Once you find them be-
ware of the bait that Is offered.
These signs are, first: the very
great willingness Of the promoter to
take your Liberty Bond or War Saw
ing Stamp in place of cash and, sec
ond: his glowing promise that the
investment which he offers will pay
big returns Immediately. The form
|er is new but the latter is old.
If the stock broker who approaches
you contrasts the return on which the
investment he offers with that which
you are getting on your Liberty Bond
or War Savings Stamp, and depreci-
ates the value of clinging to your
Government paper, shun him.
But there is a duty devolving upon
you which will not permit you to drop
the matter here. There is a better
way of handling the CRATER than by
merely ignoring his advances.
Go to your bank. Hand over to its
officials the printed prospectus which
you may have received, or lacking
that, whatever data you have on the
individual who has tried to get your
bonds, together with the name Of the
stock he is offering for the sale.
If the investment is a safe one your
banker will tell you so. But il it Is
doubtful or il the banker has no in
formation concerning it, he will re-
port the case to the Federal Reserve
Board. When the report reaches
Washington the Government will in
terest itself. 1t will determine weth-
er the stock offered to you is Of value
and whether the promises made for 1t
are false or true. 1t will, in this man
ner, be informed of new stock
schemes and 1t can, through the Fed
eral Trade Commission, take up the
case much sooner than will be posi-.
