aThe Girl in the Mehy

Detectives working on the jewel thelt of Mrs. Samuel Van File Jan ney are further baffled by the kidnap- ping of little Bebita Price, Mrs. Jan. ney's grandchild.
 Little Bebita was in the care of Miss Esther Maitland, Mrs Janney's private secretary, upon whom suspi- cion of the jewel theft has fallen. Miss Maitland claims she saw Bebita carried away in limousine.
 Her story is given little credence. as it is known that she has been in communication with the child's father. who left his wife after quarrel. When Price was interviewed by De. tective Whitney and told that he was suspected of the robbery. he said he would hit back blow for blow. They are working on the theory that Price kidnapped his own daughter with the aid of Miss Maitland.
 MT. Dick Ferguson, the Janney's neighbor. who has been paying mark ed attention to the beautiful Miss Maitland, swears by her innocence. He has produced wrapper from a special brand of cigars smoked by Mir. Janney. He found it on the lawn the hlSht or the inert. and, as it was dry it had been dropped there after the severe storm of that evening.

MINI. WORKERS
 RESIST CUTS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March IS - Any attempts to reduce the wages of coal miners will be resisted by the United Mine Workers of America with the full force of that organiza- ton. John L. Lewis, international president, said in a statement here to- night
 The statement was in connection with the action of the international board now in session in this city in regard to the situation in the state of Washington. Operators of commercial coal mines in that state, it was said, closed their mines last Wednesday be cause the mine workers refused to accept a reduction in wages TO the level of October Sl. 1919.
 Officials of the international union took the position that this action by the Washington operators was d vio- lation of their agreement with sthe mine workers. which runs until March S1. 1922. Miners officials as suTed the Washington miners several days ago that the union would give them full support in resisting the rc duction The executive board una mously approved this action.
 The same action has been taken re garding proposals for reduction ir southeastern Kentucky and rennCs see, the statement said.

While many of them are in the vernacular of East Side of New York-the abode of the number workeT-they are filled with trite trdisms and have the punch in every line. Others descriptive ol places or conditions are full of philosophy and uniqueness. In the very first subtitle Of the picture we find one of these a great truth tersely told:
 Tn every woman's life tuere comes a time when her Yes or No" has fateful significance; when much of tragedy or much of happiness of hu man existence hangs upon her deci- sion. Nor does her station in life les sen the responsibilityl Whether she be rich or poor. the moment comes when she must bravely fight or yield to temptation.'
