as diphtheria, scarlet fever, smallpox,
chickenpox, whooping cough, measles,
scabies or itch, etc. .(3) knowledge
of the laws that govern health and

The Health Crusade which has been
adorte' in many of our schools has
been 4 great step toward arousing the
in!ere of the children.
II tie parents will encourage and
te!r. r,abe it possible for the children
to carry out their health chores, it
will be to their advantage as we'll as

For example, the diligent use Of the
tooth brush will save many a dentists

into seclusion. The woman's name
was withheld, but II was learned
that she was known in filmdom as
scenario writer.
The unrequited love Of the woman
for Taylor, 1t was learned. extended
over a period Of years. No suspi'
cion is directed against her. but In
vestigators believe she may be able
to throw light on Taylor's life which
may reveal a tangible clue.
A theory that Taylor may have
been slain by blackmailers was re-
vived today when 1t was reported
that the district attorneys office
had been given new information sug-
costing that he was killed because
he tried to defend a motion picture
actress from whom blackmailers had
attempted to extort money.
May Have Defied Them.
It was reported the actress had
appealed to Taylor for protection
from a gang of blackmailers whose
headquarters are believed to have
been in New York, but whose opera.
lions were nationwide in scope. II
was regarded as a possibility that
the director may have defied the
blackmailers-a move that may havc
resulted in his death.
After a four-hour conference late
last night between Mabel Normand.
screen star, and District Attorney
Thomas Lee Woolwjne. which Off
cials said had shed no new light on
the staying of Taylor. Investigators
are continuing their tireless probe of
new clues, including the recovery Of
q blood stained cap, which has been
partially identified as the headgear
worn by the man seen leaving the
Taylor home the night Of tho MUIR
der.
The cap, light brown in color,
but made in such a manner that 1t
might have given the appearance Of
q plaid, was found in the possession
Of Walter Thiele, who was booked
on suspicion of a burglary committed
the night Taylor was shot.
On the VISOR Of the cap officers
found a blood stain. The prisoner
was unable to give satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION Of this coincidence or how
the cap came into his possession.
Investigators are questioning the
man further in an attempt to ascer.
tain il he might have any knowledge
Of circumstances surrounding the
murder.

Green that the "five-way" plan of

The committee Is considering the
suggestion Of Representative Hamil-

compensation other than cash be
made more attractive to induce more
former service men to elect one or
the other of them. Changes in the
plan have not been decided upon by
