ton s Laid to Heat and
Crowded Quarters.

Three of the eleven girls of the
National Training School for Girls.
who escaped from the confines. of the
institution at $40 o'clock last night,
were found in the woods near Ten
nallytown shortly before dawn today.
Bedraggled and disappointed. they
were taken back to the school and
placed In segregated quarters as the
first step in their punishment for
their outbreak. q
The eight other girls still at large
are believed TO have reached Washing
ton by automobiles entering the city
over the Conduit road. One tele-
phone message TO the school last night
indicated that a group of young girls
had been seen along the road calling
to passing automobiles for a lift
cityward.
Two of the missing girls have
friends in Baltimore and police are
covering these Baltimore addresses as
well as known addresses in Washing
ton in an effort to place the girls
In custody once more. Vigorous search
was conducted by the police and in.
stitution officials last night, all roads
in the vicinity being patrolled.
Crowded conditions within the
school and the unusual weather of the
past week are blamed by Mrs. ]. A.
Griffith. superintendent, as the i'm
',pediate causes Of the outbreak.

The butterfly man is the sort that

He is all for show. He spends all

No doubt you have heard about such

"I wish the girls would be more

PENALTY FOR TARDY.
Early this month the assessor sent

the total number of returns filed was

There are about $1,000 automobiles
