MS dDllity TO nOiu his Tongue.
Poor little innocent 1922! Doomed
TO die within the yeari
It's fortunate we do not see some
women too early in the morning. We
might not recognize them.
People who possess good judgment
are able to recognize the same quality
in others.
Lost, but not mourned-1921.
Hang unto your patience. That is
one possession of which no one cares
to rob you.
Got crouch on today? Bring it
down town and lose it among the new
year smiles. Your wife viii not object.
Pity the spoiled child. 1t is not re-
sponsible for its parents.
It's a wise woman who praises the
good qualities of her husband, espe-
cially when she wants new gown.
In the good old days it was the
rod that made boys smart, but the
modern youngster needs no assistance.
If it is true that all things come to
him who waits, the editor of this sheet
is going to keep right on moving.
There are some things we don't want.
1t is often the case that the best
man at a wedding is properly named.

Mystery of the Little Girl With Blue
Eyes''-not a movie nor serial story,
but a real life tragedy, and one of the
most battling problems that has con-
fronted the police of Paris for many
years.
All Paris ponders the mystery. Po-
lice, reporters and amateur detectives
search vainly, for a clue.
Tales of Edgar Allan Poe, combin-
ing horror with deteetive romance, are
being recalled in connection with the
present murder, at once gruesome and
clueless.
Protest Ignored.
About two weeks before the bizarre
discovery just described the pianist
who furnished jazz with the Madelon
Cinema's programs noticed disagree
able odor, which grew worse each day
and seemed to come from .undep the
stage.
At the end of a week she COM
planned to the manager, who promised
to investigate.
But things move slowly in France.
The manager was busy. At the END
of another week patrons were begin
ming to complain. CHASTITY jokes were
made about the foul atmosphere.
The manager and one of his work
men made the search What they
found stilled all flippancy, nearly
stopped the beating of their hearts.
The tiny, mutilated corpse was soon
identified. The murdered child proved
to be Suzanne Barbala, IL years old,

father-an only chiid-in a modest
flat on the Place d'Italie, not far from
the theater.e
L was further learned that Suzanne
disappeared on the evening of Septem-
Der 1, nearly seven weeks before the
discovery of the body.
Went ON Errand.
SuzanneS mother gave the child
some money and told her to go first
to the neighborhood drug store and
then to the house of her grandmother,
on the way to which lay the motion
picture theater.
Police have aseertained that SUI
anne did her errand at the drug store,
but she never reached her grand
mothers.
Unlike themselves, police are devoid
of theories. Comic relief has been
furnished the situation by the absurd
revelation of fantastic who
claimed to be IAN American de-
tective."
\ There are only three bits of evil
dence to work upon. They are:
| 1. The murder was obviously the
work of a degenerate. The inquest
showed the child had been criminally
attacked. The body bore signs of ex-
IRENE violence inflicted before death
2. The criminal, it is believed, must
have been familiar with the interior
of the theater.
8. The cutting up of the body, done
with a very sharp instrument, was
