STATE DEPARTMENT ACTS

WASHINGTON, April 2S.--The
state department today acted to
clear up the confusion concerning
the identity of the two women held
in Teguciagalpa, Honduras, one of
whom is suspected of being Mrs
Clara Phillips, hunted California
slayer. The department asked the
governor of California to send at
once the Identification papers of
Mrs. Phillips, so that it can be de
termined whether Mrs. r. NJ
Young or Mrs. jesse Carson is the
woman wanted.

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, April
2S.--Great confusion has arisen over
which--if either-of two women
held here is Clara Phillips, Los An
geles hammer murderess.
The women give the names Of
Mrs. jesse Carson and Mrs. r. NJ.
Young. Police declare they traded
names when they were arrested. The
younger woman who answers the
description of Clara Phillips, regis
tered at the hotel on her arrival as
Mrs. Young, but she is now posing
as Mrs. Carson.
Some sort of legal trick which
will result in the escape of the real
Clara Phillips is feared.
Women. Alike
The women are physically alike.
The younger one, who now says she
is slender, about 90 years old and
very stylish. Both have finally de-
termined on a policy of silence.
Carson, on the other hand is Il
free talker. He denies that he is
a fugitive from justice from Los
Angeles and claims he is a repre-
sentative of capitalists.
Carson also insists that a physi-
elan calls on him often as he fears
heart failure. He desires to leave
the national penitentiary on vari-
ous errands but the officials refuse
this as they think he might flee. He
smokes incessantly to quiet his
nerves which appear to be in bad
condition.
The women are lodged at police
headquarters, their baggage has
been sealed by judge, but certain
pieces were opened today So they
could get fresh clothing.
Much interest has been aroused in
the ease throughout Central Ameri.
Ga as suspects have frequently fool
ed the authorities of Mexico, Guat
emala and Salvador and some. sort
of coup in the present instance
would not be unprecedented.

You Can Depend on Them.

You can depend on the merchant or
manufacturer who advertises. The
concern tells you frankly what it is
doing is a good concern with which
to do business. The store that adver-
tises is a progressive store that has
something worth while to say to you.
And companies that advertise their
products or their services believe in
them. You can safely share their con-
fidence. The merchant who advertis-
es primarily to help himself, but in
cidently he helps his town and by so
doing he helps all of the residents of
the town. Read the ads in The Inde-
pendent every week, and trade with

The Romance Of Advertising

You cannot always tell lin these
times who is going to win out in the
business game. Some men who did
not look like winners often prove
surprisingly successful. Many young
men have gone ahead in that way as
a result Of a realization Of the power
Of advertising. They comprehended
from the first that the big problem
Of business is in winning public in
terest. From the first day that they
opened their little shops, they began
telling the public about what they
had. Soon there was constant
stream of people running to their
modest little outfit.
AS prosperity would grow, a GER
tain percentage of their receipts
would always be put into publicity, as
the most basic essential of any enter
prise. AS their sales grew, their ad-
vertising and their stores grew too.
Fellows who a few years ago may
have been laughed at for their defi-
ciencies. have made a place for them
selves in the business councils OF the
town. There was romance in their
rise. and advertising was the power
that did It..
