DETAILS
Detective Makes Secret Trip
to Baltimore, But Returns
Alone; Kelly Gives No Clue

Washington police have pro
cured a warrant for the man they
believe strangled, beat and shot
Mary Baker. Navy Depa'tn ent
stenographer, on a lonely Airing
ton county road April ii, In.
Spector William S. Shelby, chief
Of detectives, announced today.
In refusing to give the name Of
the suspect he stated thst a
headquarters detective had gone
to Baltimore two days ago with
q warrant for this mans arrest,
but have been unable to locate
1 him.
Expect Early Arrest
Shelby declared they expected
90 take him into custody within
q week.
Speculation is rife as to whether
or not the suspect is the nlysteri-
Gus man In the gray cap" re-
ported to have met Miss Boxer
at the Navy Building on nuner-
Gus occasions &7s
Shelby would give mo b1at as
to who the man wanted is, how
he was connected with tie crime
or even whether or not he knew
the dead woman.
The idea that Miss Baker was
killed by someone she did not
know, or at best knew only
slightly, is gaining strength, police
officials admitted today, and one
branch Of their investigation is
along that line.
Kelly Gives No Clue
Ell L. Rice, who saw Miss Baker
in the car with a man believed
to be her slayer. told police Fn!av
that he could not say defiulTely
whether or not the man was
white.
George Kelly, on whom police
pinned their hopes that they
might be able to clear up the un-
accountable presence Of stolen
property in the trap-sewer with
Miss Bakers clothes. Was queS-
toned last night and could shed
no light on the matter.
He will be requeStioned at
length today, but Lieut.. Edward
j. Kelly, chief of the homicide
squad, was frank to say that
he does not think the man can
tell anything whicN will help
clear up the case.

A Gold Star Letter.

IT am taking this opportunity to
thank you for what you have done for
me in the last five or six years." writes
an Idaho reader. About five years ago
I had a white spot on my lip which
looked just like a splash of white paint.
It wasn't sore at all, so it didn't worry
me. until it had been there for six
months or more and seemed to be
spreading. I work for a corporation.
I showed the company doctor my lip
and he said it was only little irrita-
ton and didn't amount to anything.
thought doctor ought to know, so
paid no more attention for a month
or so. Then saw an article of yours
in the paper warning people to beware
of white spots about the mouth. I
became alarmed"
Which reminds the conductor of an
other instance in which something in
this column alarmed reader so much
that he went straight to doctor for
examination. The doctor found that
the trouble was not malignant, and
the reader was so mad that he took
certain steps which eventually made
me feel the lash of his wrath. But I
don't care. Let our Idaho friend con-
tinue his story.
81 became alarmed and went to see
another doctor who examined the lip
and pronounced 1t cancer. I wasn't
satisfied even then, and visited two
more doctors who both agreed with
the first. Then I had a doctor treat
it with radium and it sloughed away
and has never returned. saw sur
geon about 1t only yesterday and he
tells me he believes 1t is gone for good.
So have only you to thank for the fact
that am still living"
This is a very precious letter, one of
the class I call gold star letters.
published another gold star letter here
two years ago, from a mother who told
how the description of Schafer's prone
pressure resuscitation she had found in
this column had enabled her to resus-
citate her little son when she found him
in a pond near the home. A gold star
letter is one that tells how knowledge
obtained in this column has proved life
saving in its application.
OF course, the Idaho man might have

And I started to jump around down

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The peace of two young mothers in
tent on visiting is often shattered
effectually by their gentle offspring, who
are supposed to play together, but whose
activities are restricted to pulling each
others hair and biting in an effort to
enjoy the same toys at the same time.
Mrs. F. r. II. thus outlines the situa-
ton: II am 81 years old and the
mother of two babies. MY Oldest is 21a,
and never still minute. She eats and
sleeps well and has a daily nap.
II go visiting once a week to the
home of girl friend, and she comes
once a week to see me. She also has q
child of 21a years. Our problem is how
to keep peace between them. They
scrap over every toy, and she and are
worn out trying to reason with them
and visit, too.
MY daughter has never played with
any one but this one child. She has
pet dog. which she leases, and wonder
If that is why she leases this child?
The other child won't fight back, but
stands and cries, or else runs and tells
me what she has done. My daughter
has the bad habit of biting. I have
bitten her, and it stopped her for
while, but she starts it again. My
friend and I will watch the column for
your answer, as we both read it."
Sounds pretty much like average az
year-old children, Mrs. F. r. H. Most
of them put might before right, and
prefer war to peace. Suppose you and
your friend stop being listeners, arbiters
and peace makers for while and see
what happens. Start out by furnishing
each child with identical toys-two
dolls, two buggies or wagons, two doll
beds, innumerable squares Of cloth to
wrap about them, two brooms and dust
pans, etc. Let the friend bring her own
toys with her or manage two sets. since
you use them so often.
Then let the children manage their
own squabbles. You have avoided
chances of conflict and the best lessons
the pacihstic child can learn is to
learn that she'll be left alone If she
shows that she can fight. The leaners
are always the prey of other children.
One lesson is usually enough.
I think 1t far better if the other child
does her retaliatory biting and show
your child what it feels like. You can't
teach her that biting is cruel If you
bite her, can you? You teach her only
that you are stronger than she. The
lesson that will strike home is to let
the other child return in kind, or else
make her close her sharp little teeth
into her own arm If she bites the other
child. She won't be angry at herself
and she'll learn how unpleasant a prac-
tice this Is.

Courtesies on Busy Streets
BIZ LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

the child, and accidents are more than
likely to occur.
The motorist who slows down when
he sees a person starting to cross the
street and who motions the pedestrian
to proceed extends a courtesy to the
pedestrian that is thoroughly appre-
ciated. The question of safe passage to
the other side of the street Is assured.
It is a gracious thing for the pedes-
trian to acknowledge such a courtesy
by a slight bow without decreasing the
speed of the step.
The person who in the midst OF rapid
transit that is governed by signals
presumes to hold up his hand to stop
traffic and so safeguard his crossing the
street is a menace to life OF others.
Vehicles have the right of way. They
try to move as rapidly as possible. II
suddenly halted, the motors behind the
first one have to stop suddenly, and
somewhere down the line of traffic a
driver may not be quick enough to pre-
vent his car from humping into the one
in front of him. The pedestrian Is at
fault. although he may be far in adj
vance and have reached the opposite
side of the street in safety to himself.
The dangers that arise from lack OF
courtesies between pedestrians and mo-
florists are many. Reckless drivers fail
to consider their value even more than
do reckless pedestrians. The average
person, however, is not reckless. 1t Is
a sorry state of affairs that exists where
life is lost and prosperity is destroyed
through thoughtleSsness. One way to
avoid such calamities is through heed
ing the courtesieS of the road, some of
which have been given today.

NO THANKS 1 NEVER TOUCH THE FILTHY WEED"
BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

recovered Just the same had he never
seen my column. Something else might
have brought him into the hands OF q
good doctor before the cancer became
too far advanced for q cure. BE that
as 1t may, am proud Of the letter,
which shall occupy a special place in my
scrapbook.
If any other readers are fooling with
obstinate spots or sores on the lip,
that refuse to heal in few weeks at
longest, hope they'll be alarmed
enough to go to good doctor at once.
Flat Feet or Weak Feet?
I am having lot of trouble with my
feet and as my work requires long
hours on my feet wonder If you will
recommend some kind of special shoes
or arch braces for me.-Miss D. H.
Answer-Try this test: Stand barefoot
on floor and see if you can raise your
self up on your toes. If you can your
feet are not fat and braces would be
injurious. Send stamped envelope bear
ing your address and ask for inStruc-
tions for care of feet and proper foot
wear.

people who are kind enough to keep on
f1attering him. Flattery is the one
thing he wants in order to bolster up
his ever-shrinking sense of self, his
feelings of inferiority.
Egotism is by no means a serious
handicap. although, If easily detected,
it may be regarded as a weakness. In
small doses it's a safeguard, for no one
is perfect. Every one has use for a

avoid the bumps is to pretend you don't
feel them.
Egotism Is not so much a personal
fault as a symptom of social malad-
justment. Egotistical people need a
little real advice, rather than false
praise. All you need to do is to teach
them that friends can't be purchased.
False estimates of self lead to false
estimates of others.
