BODY FOUND ON ROCK
MISS SPIELMAN HAD DRIFTED FOUR
MILES FROM THE POINT WHERE SHE
WAS DROWNED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO.

The body of Lille Spielman, 16-
.year-old daughter Of Robert Spiel
man, Detour, who fell from a foot
bridge over Double Pipe Creek, and
was drowned on April 2, was found
Wednesday afternoon by Harry Dor
Gus, Woodsboro. The body, in a fair
state of preservation, was lying on a
rock in the center OF Monocacy River,
at LIE Cores bridge, four miles from
the place where the girl lost her life.
The county commissioners of Fred
erick and Corroll counties had offer
ed a reward of 5000 for its recovery.
During the spring floods the iron
bridge over the Double Pipe Greek,
which empties into the Monocacy Riv-
er, mile below, was washed away.
The county commissioners erected a
temporary structure, a foot bridge.
The girl had hestitated about crossing
this bridge.
On the evening of the drowning,
the girl, with her arms full of Easter
bundles purchased at the store across
the river, started to walk over the
bridge. On nearing the center she
got down on her hands and knees to
crawl. Soon afterward she lost her
balance and toppled into the stream.
A futile effort was made by spectators
to save the girl, but she was washed
away in the flooded river.
Daily since searching parties have
dredged the stream without success.
Articles of clothing had been found
at various times.
The body has been removed to the
home of the parents at Detour. The
mother has been under the constant
care of physicians since the girl
drowned.

Newspaper Conservation Day Pub
Iicftv.

One of the most remarkable recent
movement to attain national promin-
ence is the one that has for ist object
the pointing out of methods by which
motorists may obtain increased mile
age from their tires.
One would imagine that tire dealers
would be pleased to have tires wear
out quickly, so that new purchases
would be necessary. But this is not
generally truIe. There is more rejoic-
ing to-day over one car owner whose
tires run 10000 to $4,000 miles, than
over a hundred whose lack of care
prevents them from getting many
miles they are entitled to.
This national tire conservation
movement will reach Westminster on
Saturday, May 1,when Tire Conser-
vation Day will be observed. Carrying
out the idea of helping all local motor
lists to secure more service from their
tires, Charles e. Eckenrode, Of our
city, has arranged to have an expert
from The Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company, present at the demonstrate
ions, who will give an entire day over
to the consideration of the tire prob
lens Of all local motorists, pointing
out the most insignificant repairs
which, if made in time, will add i'm
measurably to tire mileage. The tire
difficulties of each motorist will be
given individual attention.
Sections of tires will be exhibited
showing the different kinds of wear
that tires are subject to, and the meth
II =
ion will be followed from the crude
rubber of the forest to the finished
tire, ready to start on its career of
service.
There is nothing mysterious about
tires, and therefore, no good reason
why motorists should not know all
about them, and be saved many OF
the disappointments they experience
when discarding tires which have
passed away before their time.

574 on returns from all but 43O scattered
precincts although Maj Gen. Leonard

the ballot, surprised political leaders by
running up a vote of 1913, including 40
SSl in Cook county There were no Dem
ocratie candidates on the ticket, but a
number of names were written in by a
few hundred voters.
While less than half the vote in the
state was cast, and only sixth as many
women as men went to the polls, feminine
thrift added TO the pluralities by which
four bond issues for $34,000,000 for nut
nicipal improvements were defeated in
Chicago On the primary candidates. the
proportion of women to men was about
the same for the two leading candidates,
but on the bond issues, the female per

vote.
