HAVE YOU SEEN BAILY?
IS MUCH WANTED MAN
Hunt for Murderer Is On All Over
World. Killed Wife with Knife

Major Norman P. Baily, formerly
of the British Army-if anybody in
the United States comes across the
gentleman he is asked to notify the
police, and the major will immediate
ly be picked up and returned to Eng
land from whence he came.
The major is believed to be in the
United States but the police of every
country on the earth are looking for
him.
Ten minutes after he left, the maid
entered the room of Mrs. Baily and
found her dead on the bed, a trench
knife imbedded in her side.
Immediately the alarm was given.
Fifteen minutes after Baily had left
his home the police were on his trail.
He had left a note telling them to
!ook "by the seashore." They did look
by the seashore but didn't find him.
Several days later Baily started
writing letters to the town celebrities
from London. He said he must have
been mad when he killed his wife. He
blamed it on the war horros'. Bal
ly served during the world war in
France and Belgium.
Where is Baily now? The best de-
tectives in Europe are baffled. Never
before had they lost man who had
only IS minutes on them. But Baily
he is a different type, and because
of that the hunt is on all over the
world.

Stressing the importance of disci-
pine both at home and at school, Mrs.
I. E. Emory spoke at the regular
meeting of the Second Ward Parent
Teacher association Wednesday after
noon. She pleaded with both mothers
and teachers to take advantage of the
few short years they have for mould
ing and shaping the lives of the chill
dfen in their care. Very aptly she
brought out her lesson from the story
of the child Moses and closed her re-
marks with the admonition from Eph.

Another phase of discipline was dis
cussed in story from the Mothers
Magazine, entitled "The Eight Forty
Sickness" the kind that never occurs
on Saturday or Sunday
Miss Dorminy's Third Grade pres
ented playlet, "Bobby's Lesson"
which brought out a phase of disci-
pline from the child's standpoint. There
were two scenes, Bobby's home and
Dreamland.
The characters were:

Elf-Bush Lindsay
Cat-Cecil Harris.
Boy Blue-Walter DeFoe.
Mother Goose--Beatrice Crenshaw
Mother-Myrtle Powell.

Importance of music in the schools

This is the story of Rose w.
Smith and her husband, George,
who arrived at that point in life
when something radical had to be
done to provide a living for three
children and their dependent aged
mothers. They owned a small farm
near Lexington, Mass, but taxes
were high and the farm so I'M
developed that it was a burden
rather than an asset. George was
employed as a clerk in a Boston
brokers' Office at small pay, and
his wife, Rose, was in failing
health.

afternoon, Mrs. Smith noticed
