description police had today of the

told of an engagement the girl chum
had with two Pittston men whom
they had met recently at an amuse-
ment resort.
The battered bodies Of the girls,
Jennie Monico. 10, and Edith Fonzo,

Bureau of Missing Persons
Finds Most Wander
Away in Spring.

One hundred and forty-three Indi-
annapolis homes were torn by the
agony of fear over the fate of loved
ones last month.
Police records show that many
persons-little boys, little girls,
daughters and sons in their teens,
husbands, wves-were reported
missing during May.
Seventeen have not been found.
The number of missing was
greater this year than last. Forty
one fewer were missing in May,
1926.
Spring Brings Roaming
Why, Miss Leona Foppiano, miss
ing person bureau head, does not
know.
The figures always mount in the
spring. In January of this year
sixty.four missing were reported; in
February, SS; in March, 11S, and in
April, 11S.
The figure stays high until October
when cold weather cuts it. Folks
with the wanderlust like the warm
fireside.
Since the missing persons bureau
was established in January, a year
ago sci missing reports have been
filed. Four hundred ninety-two have
been found, 100 by police.
Many Return Soon
Most reports are from distracted
mothers, who just have missed tot.
In some cases the youngsters show
up almost as soon as the mothers
hang up the receiver.
In other cases wise youths and
maidens come back or are found by
police in a few days, penitent hus-
bands beg forgiveness OF wronged
wives or stricken moth
ers go back to their children.
In still others-life has swallowed
them.
