EVA LAYALLIERE
 IN BROKEN HEALTH
Once Famed French Actress Now
 in Retirement

Thuiuiercs, France, May II tP}- A pointed church tower dominating the sloping roofs of forty-odd houses. a hillside cemetery with de- caying tombstones - such is tht panorama Of ThuiIlieres, little vil- lage lost in remote corner of the Nosges mountains.
 But this peaceful country land scape ancloses its mystery and something more than local tradi- ton and rural ghosts. All that is left Of Eve LayaIliere, toast of Paris before the war. linked with Rejane and Sarah Bernhardt as one of the three most accomplished French ac- tres6es, lives in house on the out skirts of Thuilicres.
 Lavalliere, for whom an admirer decorated a luncheon table with $2- 0uU worth of rare lavender orchids, LayaIlicro the exquisite, hides here with her son. broken in health and mind, almost forgotten by the world which she was supposed to have deserted for a Carmelite con- vent in 1917.
 It was a dream that called Eve Layaliere from the stage to take Up her cross and help the poor and suffering. She thus described that dream:
 q thought of all the reckless ex- travagances of which I had been guilty or of which l had been the obiect-Then, from above, I heard a deep sweet, rich voice saying: Help these people. Don't add to the sins of the world and increase the sufferings of the poor. Don't be a wiIful parasite of society. Take up your cross!'"
 The dream grew stronger and more importunate with time, until phantom figures of the poor crowd ed on the stage while she was play ing and drove her lines from her head.
 Over the door of her modest semi -cloistral house in the Nosges, is a statuette of the Virgin, hands filled with flowers. Madame La valliere receives no one but it was not impossible to enter the house; even, to see Madame Lavalliere's bedroom. On the walls are religious images, statues Of the Virgin, pious engravings. In a corner, last vestige of the past. is a photograph Of the actress in evening gown, arms and breast bare.
 A woman attendant who said she was Madame Layalliere's adviser and nurse. was asked about the actress health.
 Not very good. She has per- forated kidney and suffers greatly But how courageous she is. never complaining, and rcsigning her most aEonizing pains to the mercy Of God"

 Never. She wants to forget 1t all. She won't even have any news papers in the house"

Once, says Crockett, an editor was so bold as to resent the despo- tism of the commodore, and cabled him his resignation instead of some news he was supposed to send. An other aroused the jealousy of the Herald owner by acquiring a social position and fortune of his own while city editor in New York. Still another had his salary substantial ly raised because other members of the staff stacked their beer bottles behind his desk and the commo- dore, walking in unannounced, said he did not see how the man could afford ito buy lot of refreshment."

As autocratic as Bennett was, however, he had sense of humor which he occasionally displayed. He played a practical joke on a guest on his yacht who asked to be called every morning in time for his bath. The commodore had him aroused by sticking the nozzle of 8 fire hose through the cabin port and firing a full blast in the gentleman's face.
 Like the Harun al Raschid of Crockett's dreams, Bennett could be romantic. It was said of him that to a certain lady he admired he de- clared: Madam, the Herald is at your feet"

CHILD EMPLOYMENT
SHOWING INCREASE
Bureau Reports Total in Industrial
Occupations Gaining Through
out United States.

Increase in the total of children en-
ployed industrially in nearly all parts
of the United States took place in the
fiscal year closed June 30, 1926 ac.
cording to the annual report of Grace
Abbott, chief of the Children's Bureau
of the Labor Department, today.
Miss Abbott based her conclusions
on stastistics gathered in 20 large in
dustrial centers, showing that in %
OF these places more children We're
employed in industry in 1925 than in
1924.
Mortality of infants in Nebraska,
Iowa, Minnesota, Washington and
Oregon, was lower than in any other
states in 1925, Miss Abbott said.
She urged a tWo-year extension of
the maternity and infancy act,
through which Federal aid Is given
States for the promotion of birth hy-
giene. Although progress has been
made III reducing the deaths Of moth
ers and babies, continued effort
toward this end is needed, it was said.
The infant mortality rate during 1925
for the United States was 72 per
1000 births. The five leading States
had rates of so or under.
In several States the increases in
children In industrial employment
amounted to substantial percentages,
but Miss Abbott attributed the gains
largely to the fact that general busi-
ness was more active during 1925 than
the preceding year. The decrease in
Washington, as Secretary Davis had
previously stated, was 67.5 per cent,
due to a new law.

Nor was the selection of names

The first emblem submitted had at
the upper right edge the American
eagle, bearing an olive branch. But
to certain officials there were things
that might be misinterpreted. The
eagle was too large. He was placed
higher than the South American con-

MYSTERY DEEPENS
IN CHRISTIE CASE
Farewell Message and Seal
ed Letter Are Discussed.
No Trace of Novelist.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 13.-A fare
well message and a sealed letter were
under discussion today as bearing on
the case of Mrs. Agatha Clarisse
Christie, missing American novelist.
She left the home of her husband,
Col. Archibald Christie, at Summing
dale, Berks, at 10 o'clock December 3,
alone in her motor car.
Friends assert that her home life
was happy and some of them express
the belief that she has been murdered.
The Westminster Gazette. however,
asserts that before Mrs. Christie left
home she wrote a letter to her hus-
band, which amounts to a tragic fare
we'll message, indicating that the end
had been reached and that she was
resolved to sacrifice everything and
commit some drastic act. 1t is said
this letter is in the hands of the police.
Left Sealed Letter.
In addition. it is understood Mrs.
Christie left a sealed letter, to be
opened only in the event of her body
being found.
Thousands of persons, including de-
tectives. physicians and novelists, are
aiding in the search near the scene
of her disappearance and where her
automobile was found December A
containing a grip with clothing and
some papers in it. but all their work
has come to naught.
Sunday motorists and hillers in
large numbers, many of the hikers
having bloodhounds. combed the
downs, swamps and hills without find
ing any trace of her.
Mrs. Christie is the author of sew
eral detective stories. and in the
opinion of Sir William Arbuthnot
Lane. the eminent surgeon, she is a
victim of her own plot weaving. He
thinks she probably is alive and in
hiding. Walter Dew, former chief in
spector OF Scotland Yard. thinks loss
of memory or hysteria is most likely
the reason for the disappearance and
continued absence of the woman.
At the time she left home Col.
Christie said his wife for some time
had been suffering from nervous pros
tration. adding, she was a very
nervous case"
Mrs. Christie is a daughter of the
late Frederick Miller of New York.
