A woman giving her name as Mrs. 'Ltwlij Carr, of Indianapolis, and claiming to be several things whicn, it is alleged, she is "not, has left the city after a brief stay, and according to reports made today to the ponce, nas accumulated an assortment of cash, clothing and other articles by methods questionable, to «ay the least.

She" came to the Germania hotel •bout two weeks ago under the guise of a federal agent and secured room and board there. She claimed that a check for $300 had been sent her by the government, and that ehe could not have it cashed here because of not having proper identification. The woman aiso stated that she was sent here to round up slackers. Not having any money and tlio hotel being short on help, «he and her daughter, who travels with her, were employed as cook and table waiters.

After failing In*that deal, she begun ©n a young physician of the city. In the mean time she had borrowed money from the doctor and* claimed that she was going to the hospital to be operated on. The woman promised to settle with him and went to the

First National bank and made a draft, instructing the banker^ to hold it till Wednesday morning when she would settle with them. The woman having disappeared, the draft became void and the doctor lost his money.

While staying at the hotel she claimed that while at the hospital she would tieed a woman to take care of her daughter, Jva, age 19. and her son. Jack, 12, She hired a chamber maid at the hotel promising to pay her $1 per day and board and xoom besides paying for her laundry. She then, to make her claim strong, promieed to buy a player piano and place it in the .hotel to amuse the daughter while she "was at the hospital.

The piano was to be gent this morning and she was to go to the hospital at the same time. She then gave the owner of the hotel a check for ?100, which was later found to be forged, on the First National bank. In her escape "'she borrowed the coat of« the womtfh whom she persuaded to resign at the hotel and become a maid for her children and made thai one of her- reeources.

In her stay she attempted to borrow money from the guests and in some instances made good. She also claimed i that she was a nurse on the battlefield of Europe, that she was an ambulance driver in Indianapolis, her h\ne, and that she owned a home there. *8he told a party that she had a twelve passenger Studebaker at a local garage and upon investigation it was found that the garage employes knew nothing of it. The matter was reported to the police and Investigation #as been n Lar led.

Committee Sending Letters To All Subscribers Urging Checking ol Cards at Banks,

"The last installment of more than 3-uOO letters addressed to signers, of War Savings Stamp pledge cards was mailed Monday morning. The purpose Kt the letter, whioh was sent to all those having pledge cards on file in tho several banks of the city, is to suggest a practical method of co-oper-ating with the banks for a full redemp-

(committee

t-ion of every pledge. Owing to the flood Of cards turned in to the central

Parisian Sage Stops Itching. Keeps the Scalp Cool—Prevents Dandniff.

Almost everybody nowadays knows i| that Parisian sage, the invigorating 1 hair restorer, is guaranteed to remove 1 every trace of dandruff, stop tailing 4 hair and itching scalp, or the cost, email as it is, will be refunded.

But you should know more about this marvelous hair grower.

point from which to work, everyono having a pledge card at any one of the city banks is asked to show his banker hie purchase of stamps and have them credited. Arrangements have Deen made for the proper crediting of all stamps purchased from this time on. Vigo is so far short of her quota that we cannot afford to let a single pledge go unredeemed. A prompt convemlon of these pledges Into actual caste will very materially increase our sales. i

At the present time Vigo's per capita sales fall considerably below $9, less than half our $20 quota for the year. And five-sixths of the year is gone! There are only 11 counties in the state with per capita sales of less tnan 10 —Brown, Jasper. Lawrence, Pike, Starke, Clay, Lake, Parke, Spencer, Vigo and Warren. Is Vigo, with one of the first cities of the state, content to be classed with Brown, Starke and Warren? There is still time for Vigo to make good, but not a day to lose. In order tQ keep our record clean, every war savings pledge must be redeemed, and cash pales must be brisk between now and midnight of Dec. 31. Despite the fact that we have gons over the tbp in every Liberty Loan campaign, unless we sell our full quota, of War Savings Stamps our war record is something less than 100 per cent. Will Vigo stand for that? We have just two months to answer th« question, and answer it right.
