to write opposite the name his decision in
regard TO the height, weight and aye Of each
person. Make out n sheet that Is correct. As
nearly as you can, and then find out which one
has made the most correct guesses. To ths
one who has the most. prize might b.
awarded. The fun comes from ascertainins
the correct height and weight. The height 1,

ing Is so-called, however. because II Is the eve
Of the Christian festival OF All Saints. which
falls on November l. II means Holy Eve.
About thirteen centuries ago pagans cele-
brated November I rs All Saints Day, when
spirits. both good and evil. were believed to be
on earth. The Druids also celebrated their
harvest festival about that time. and many
strange ceremonies were performed. and so the
Halloween diversions Of today are some which
originated centuries ago. The name comes
from the old English word ''halwe." or as we
now say holy. (2) In this same issue you

Dark Mystery Still
Surrounds Murder
(By United Press.O

New Brunswick, n. j., Sept. 49,
Detectives mingled with the mourn
ers at the biers of the Rev. Edward
". Hall and Mrs. James Mills to-
day in hope of finding a clew in the
actions of some of those present. In
vestigation has revealed, according to
the police, that the murder of the rec
tor of the Episcopal Church of st.
John the Divine, and Mrs. Mills, choir
singer and wife of the sexton, prob
ably took place in the city Of New
Brunswick Thursday night. After the
man and woman had been shot, beat
en- and stabbed to death, their bodies
were placed in an automobile and car
ried to the grove on an abandoned
farm where they were found Satur-
day. The slayer or slayers carefully
scattered torn love letters around to
give the affair the aspect of a crime
committed through motives Of jeal-
ousy.
All these love letters may have
been forgeries, in belief of police.
A rod, found near where the bodies
were discovered, is believed to have
fallen from the automobile which con-
veyed them there. Detectives are ex-
aiming automobiles of number Of
persons in expectation of finding the
auto with the missing rod. Mrs.
Hall, questioned by police, frankly
admitted she was " the woman in the
polo coat" seen entering st. Johns
Rectory about 2:30 a. M, Friday
morning She declared she had been
to the church, to see whether her hus-
band had fallen asleep in his study
Mills, husband of the slain woman
visited the church about the same
hour looking for his wife, he told
police, thinking she might have been
taken i'll while working there But the
clergyman's wife and the sexton did
not chance to meet while on this mis-
sion, both insisted.

Rescue men had been at the surface
ready to go in as soon as the word
came. Four teams, each of four men
headed by captain, entered the Ar

Rodney Hecox, U. s. Bureau of

through the narrow opening into the
Argonaut mine.
R. j. Johnson, headed the second
team which followed close behind. The
rescue workers went forward into the

The birds acted as detectors of car
