the care of a physician, having sus-
tered a nervous breakdown following
the reported death OF a DR.. H. WI
liam Hoffman,, jr," at French Lick
Springs, on October 20.
Investigation has revealed no clue
which would point to the existence
Of such a man as Miss Loderhose de-
scribes, and there is no available rec
ord OF such an automobile killing at
or near French Lick Springs on the
date given
Persons engaged IN looking for rec

physician" in the hope OF unraveling
the mystery, say the entire case may
depend on the diamond engagement
ring which Miss Loderhose represents
was given her last summer.
Is the stone Genuine:
Mr.. Phillips so far has not had the
ring examined to determine whether
the four-carat stone Is genuine. He
says II the stone is a diamond, he is
sure a man figures in the mystery. II
the gem Is otherwise. Mr.. Phillips
thinks Miss Loderhose may have
given II to herself" ~
a mystery plot in a novel could not
be more puzzling.
Miss Loderhose, when keeping house
with her sister, Miss Emily, received
many telephone calls reported to be
from Pasadena, Cal. 'Dr. Hoffman,"
was supposed to chat for a half hour
to an hour at time from California.
thereby expending large sums.
Miss Emily, when answering the
telephone on certain occasions at her
sisters request. says she heard no
summoing bell, nor when she lifted
the receiver was anyone on the wire
Nevertheless, she says Miss Sophie
would take the receiver from her and
apparently talk to2 her fiance in
Pasadena or elsewhere.
She Received Many Gifts
Miss Loderhose received presents Of
candy and flowers repeatedly. She
says DIR. Hoffman" called on her three
times. But members OF the family
never saw him, although Miss Emily
was introduced to a caller of her sis
ter's once, and was told he was her
fance.
Although Miss Sophie has scores OF
letters said to be from 'Dr. Hoffman"
and $50 kilograms OF coincidence OF,

Brooklyn in a motor car for the wed
ding scheduled for November 1, no

are many from prominent persons, in

Editorial

Criticism, like most
bitter medicine, is often
unpleasant, but IL ID
the best thing we can
have. 1t helps one in
keeping his balance. 1t
causes you to stop and
to think. 1t brings you
face to face with the
fact that everybody
doesn't think and
doesn't see things
through your eyes.
Ofttimes, after a
period of quiet, some
editorial in this space
brings a regular flood
OF letters protesting
our handling of some
topic.
1t proves we've
grown Iop-sided and
need to be brought
back to an even keel.
So, when you read
something herein that
isn't to your liking,
just sit down and tell
us about IL in whatever
language you see Mt to
use. Criticism is al
ways more helpful than
praise.

MOVE AS POLITICAL

Gabrie,e d'Anuunx;o's evacuation

The move, it is said. will
strengthen the pro-annexationist
party in the elections to be held
today. Italians say.
State Department officials yester-
day were apparently relieved by
word that d'Annunzio had chosen
as his landing spot a place outside
the Dalmation territory controlled
by American naval forces. Zara is

SIGNS OF LIFE ON MOON

Paris. Nor. l5.-The announcement
from the United States that Prof.

evidences OF organic life on the moon
fills me with surprise. II is not pos"
slble to detect the presence of small
organisms with present-day astro-
nomicai instruments. Researches by
the greatest French scientists prove
there Is no atmosphere on the moon.
therefore organic life. such as We
know could not possibly be supported
there. said Prof. Nondmann here to-
day
