SCIENCE AIDS IN
SEARCH FOR GIRL
Psychologist Seeks Reason
for Disappearance.

BIZ United Press
NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Jan. %.
"A scientific survey was being
made today to determine the reason
for the disappearance from Smith
College, exclusive girls school, of
Miss Frances st. John Smith.
Miss Smith, daughter of a wealthy
New York family. was seen last at
Smith College on Jan. 13.
1t became known Friday that stu
dents at the exclusive girls school
had been molested recently by
providers.
State police, special detectives,
Smith College officials and relatives
of the girl conferred many hours
during the day.
Among theories suggested were
that the girl had killed herself; that
she had disappeared because of her
low grades, or that she had been
forced away from the school.
In New York, DR.. Lydiard H. Hor-
ton, prominent psychologist, planned
a study of the girls normal actions,
of the things her mind turned to
and of her desires. In this way ne
hoped to deduce what might have
caused the girl to disappear.

 Paba S Bride Is MQnQ~-but Fiq11re

A LLIANCE, Nebraska, is a sleepy A ranch town out on the Tone
 prairie" Little ever happens there. But the other day Charles W. Sisley, we'll set-up rancher of seventy, and Mrs. Sara Colerick, who is fifty-nine, were married and--Alliance and the elderly couple woke up to find themselves famous.
 The reason is simple, but neither the newly married Sisleys nor their neighbors in the oldfashioned town have been able to figure out why they famed forth as inst page copy throughout the land. They had married quietly enough. But before that four sons of Mrs. Colerick had married four daughters of Mr. Ssley. Then, just to make the matrimonial mix. up more complicated, son of MT. Sisley married a niece of Mrs. Colerick So six from one family have married six from the other.
 This astonishing situation, as the demon government statistican at Washington in- forms us, is the American record for lnter-marriages between two families. The Sisleys and Colericks are unique and when you're unique you're NEWS.

to impure, III humorous Veln:
 Say, when you going to marry that Sisley girl?"
 And if the youthful colerick replied indignantly, What Sisley girl?" the usual answer would be, "Any Sisley girl"
 All this chaffing and curiosity on the part of rural neighbors may have bred a unmarried Colericks and Sisleys. It may have been responsible for the fact that John Colerick didn't get around to marry ing Ethel Sisley until 1924. when he was thirty-eight and she was thirty-seven.
 But another reason contributed to the hold-out. too, and that reason must be told. During the eight long years when it seemed as if John Colerick might break the family marrying tradition Ethel Sis ley was keeping company-and steady company, at that-with a banker. son.
 There was John Colerick, an honest rancher and a steady fellow, but a bankers son is . bankers son, especially in western Nebraska. That is, he is . rare catch and a considerable figure in the Nebraskan hdutc monde.
 Then Ethel's engagement to the bankers son was reported and it seemed as if the Colerick- -Sisley inter-marriages would end. If they had there would have been no fame for the two families and for Alliance. Nebraska, ard this article would not have been written. But Fate, or something. ruled otherwise.
 John Colerck, instead of being awed into retirement by the glamorous banker boy. rose to the occasion.
 When Ethel went to dances with her young banker-swain John went along with some other girl, but 1t was noticed that he danced with Ethel almost as often as the bankers son. In small Nebraska

The Brothers Colerick who married the Sisters Sisley now find that by the rules of intermarriage their wives are their step-sisters. And the husbands are step. brothers to their own wives.

 makes you dizzy the diagram on this page may help to clarify the situation. Al for the Sisley-Colericks they aren't bothered They simply know that by their many marriages they have abolished all in-laws from their joint family.
 When the climax in tho marital tie-up was capped by the latest marriage the town of Alliance. which has five thous- and inhabitants, took the event calmly There arc two newspaper. in Alliance, but only one thought the amazing inter-mar- riages worth mentioning That mention, however, was sufficient.
 Somehow or other the news slipped out of town on the telegraph wire. And a few days later slick city reporter came clear from Omaha to interview MT. and Mrs. Sisley. They were living on Mr. Sisley's ranch outside of the town.
 MT. Sisley chuckled and his bride broke in with: Tt seems as if everybody wants pictures of us. What for, don't know. We've had telegrams and telephone calls from Omaha, Denver, Kansas City, and even St. Louis and Chicago. From cd. itors."
 Then Mrs. Sisley exhibited . double handful of telegrams from news agencies and newspapers asking for photograph. of all the Colercks and Sisleys.

To The Herald:
The United States is the greatest
