GIRL PSYCHIC IS
 TRAILING BANDIT
Also Making Effort to UnraYel Murder Mystery

l New York, Feb. 27.--The bobbed.
 haired girl psychic got on the trail oi the bobbed- -haired girl bandit yester.
 day, and today she is going to take look" at the persons who killed Louise Lawson the motion picture actress.
 | Other mysteries which have beer l baffling the New York city police oi recent years may be disposed of cas- | fly, now that Miss Eugenie Dennis, 1 $ 1 years old clairvoyant, has been added to the force. All she will have to dc to solve the mysteries which have perplexed MT. Enright's best detec- tives, she claims. is to wrinkle her soft white brow the merest trife, fix her big brown eyes on the horizon and describe the people who sulk about the stage of her mind.
 She was curled over the radiator in her room at the Broadway Claridge yesterday afternoon watching the red and white performers on the electric signs and scarcely stopped the com fortabie revolutions of her chewing gum as she murmured about the bobbed thaired bandit.
 She is small, dark, Italian. She is very poor. Her name--I can't pro nounce it--but it looks as if it began with a K. She lives in a grocery store."
 In those same fascinating electric signs she caught the fiutter of skirts as girl murderer rushed away from the Elwell apartment, and the stall wart figure of man groping his way down the stairs from Dot" Kings rooms. She has an engagement with police detective to inspect Louise Lawson's rooms this morning.
 A large part of yesterday afternoon she spent closeted with a representa- tive of one of the large detective agencies in the attempt to solve a s100,0o0 jewel robbery. She describ- ed people connected with the crime, 1t was said. and cleared Of suspicion one young man at whom the circum- stantial evidence seemed to point.
 Murder and crime are the breath of life to her. She notes young girls who come to her with silly questions about him" She has never taken the trouble to investigate her own romantic future.
 T don't bother much about that" she said.

AUTOS BY TRAINLOAD| REPORTED BY PAIGE|
January Sales Establish New Record for Paige-jeWett People

Trainloads of automobiles Were the answer of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car company to demands of it's deal CTS for Paiges and Jewetts for Janu- ary sales, according to MT. Harry M. Jewett, president
 One distributor. the Paige Detroit company of New England, took three solid trainloads during the month Other trains were dispatched from the Paige and Jewett plants to the St. Louis distributor, Chicago, AHnnea- polls, Des Moines and Philadelphia.
 As an instance of what can be ex- pected is recent clipping from the Boston Herald:
 "An interesting development in the New England automobile industry is the recent arrival of a special train loaded with Paige automobiles. The Great Northern railway, anticipating an active year in the motor industry, recently placed an order for 500 au- tomobile freight cars with the Ameri- can Car and Foundry company, and are now receiving deliveries. Being temporarily in a position where the cars were not needed for immediate requirements, the Great Northern gave permission to the Paige Detroit Motor Car company of Detroit to use 30 of them for single shipment to New England points. This solid train- load started from Detroit on Decem- Der 2S, arrived in Boston December S1, and on January returned to De- troit, an especially good transporta- tion record for mid winter.
 "As straw showing the trend of activity in the automobile industry in the action of the Great NGthern Railway is equipping itself to handle a large and increasing motor business Is significant, and goes a long way to prove that production of motors and accessories, both for pleasure and business purposes. is ever on the in crease. Automobile manufacturers, distributors and dealers are already planning for busy season, and that 1924 will prove another record break CT in the motor industry is generally conceded"

Science

An announcement of interest to
all students and scholars is made by
Sir F. G. Kenyon, who has decided
that part of a manuscript play, writ
ten mostly by one Anthony Munday,
actually was written by Shakespeare.
This discovery was announced as
the result Of scientific comparison
of handwriting, as well as compari-
son of literary merit.
All handwriting of Shakespeare in
existence, previous to this discovery,
was six signatures, attached to his
will and other legal papers, one of
them being written by Me-Wil-
liam Shakespeare.
The play containing the handwrit-
ing was found in the British Mu-
scum. 1t shows that Shakespeare
tried to make it suitable for produc-
ton by writing some of the scenes.
The vigor and dramatic genius of
the scenes which he wrote only tend
to show the inferiority of the rest
of the play. This discovery is the
most valuable find in English htera-
ture in recent times.

Nature

The tiny fruit-hy is only one Of
fifty-nine species, thirty of which
are known in this country. These
flies breed in decaying or fermenting
fruit. They are very numerous
where vinegar is made. and are
always to be found about grapes,
bananas. pears and other over-ripe
fruit. Ordinary screening will not
keep them out, as they go right
through, owing to their size. Eggs
are deposited in the decaying fruit
pulp and within eleven days a single
generation may be produced. The
larvae Of these flies are injurious to
grapes on the vines, the maggots
completely eating out the hearts of
the fruits. They attack those
grapes which have been bird-pecked
or injured by rot, boring their way
from one grape to another, finally
running the bunch. These maggots
are sometimes found in fruit jars.

He Wants to Know

To the Editor Of The Times
In a recent issue of your paper L
saw where a Times correspondent
had asked Senator James E. Watson
this question: Have you had any
recent conversation with Imperial
Wizard H. ". Evans?" and Wat
sons answer was: Yes. have
talked to Evans. He is a Texas
Democrat. I wanted to know why
he was interested in Indiana poll
tics"
That is one thing that many In
diana people would like to know.
Therefore, with all sincerity and in
behalf of the people of Indiana. I
ask Senator Watson this question:
Did you find out why that Texas
Democratic wizard was so interested
in Indiana politics? If so. do tell us.
