CAVE lii? HIST ALICE 4

WAKE UP! Giant Trappd in Diana's Dunes by Chesterton's Marshal Claims to Be Luther McCarthy, But it Can't Be.

"Diana of the Dunes" is ence more In the limelight. She now, it is said, has a cave man. If romance has finally come into the life of ' Diana of the Dunes." Miss Alice M. Cray, the former University of Chicago student who for four years has lived as a recluse in the dunes east of 'Gary, it took a "cave man" to bring It to her. Kifle in hand and ready revolver on his hip. he was surrounded on the crest of one of Diana's hills by a posse, in the- most vivid movie style, and captured, accused of house breaking. "Oh, yes." said Marshal Alfred Tillapaush of Chesterton, Ind.. who was one of yie raiders, "we were all around him and got the drop on him before lie could shoot. He's a strapping: hiff fellow, 6 feet 4 inches. He and that girl you call Diana of the Dunes are friendly; he's been getting things to eat from her." Ralls Prom Texas. The marshal says that the prisoner is booked at Valparaiso as George "Wilson of Texas, but that he claims to be I.uthr McCarty, the noted prize fighter who six years ago knocked out such men as Carl Morris. Al Kaufman. Jim Flynn. the rtieblo Fireman, and Al Taller: and fought a ten-round draw with Jess AVillard. McCarty was also 6 feet 4 inches tall but. alas for the romance of the Giant of the Dunes, McCarty was killed in the ring at Calgary. Alberta, more than five years ago. in a fight with Arthur Telkey.

man of Evanston, "Fisherman" Johnson and others. After a recent rain tootsteps from one of the cottages were followed in tn direction of the cottage where lives Diana of the Dunes, in reality Misa Alice M. Gary. Careful inquiry at her cottage brought the information that a large man had been a visitor at her cottage at intervals, but she knew nothing about the thefsf. Likes Wild Life. For four years Diana of the Dunes has been the most interesting character in all northern Indiana. As a student she was very bright, a skillful typist, and fitted to make a good living if she had chosen the ordinary way. Instead, she built herself a scanty shelter in the sand hills northeast of Gary, dressed like an Indian squaw and lived entirely In the open. LIST NOT IN BEFORE FEBRUARY (Continued from page one.)

which has been set, the office is operating three shifts of workers; 500 women and young men work from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. and two shifts of limited service soldiers labor through the.nlght. SWASrpTNO THE NEWSPAPERS. Every cablegram now received from the overseas casualty records office comprises approximately seventy-five typewritten rages. Until a week or two ago the cablegrams came in code, necessitating forty-eight hours for decoding each list, which frequently resulted in errors and rechecking. Much time has been saved by a recent order abolishing the use of the code. The checking of each and every report several times before it is telegraphed to the next of kin still causes some delay, but it reduces the numoer cf errors. Unless mistakes In the lists are discovered, names received today are telegraphed to the next of kin within forty-eight hours and are published by the newspapers eight days later. The office doubts whether the press will be able to handle 20,000 records a week. A radical change may be made in the publication of casualty lists if many newspapers complain that they are being swamped. BELAYS IN TB&NCE. Notifications are going out to relatives a litle more promptly than before because of the adoption of a new system of cabling the names of the seriously wounded. For a time these list 3 were brought to America by courier once a week. It is noted also that the overseas office is catching up on reports of the killed in action. Daily reports of this class average from fifty to 100 at present; not so long ago the daily total was very much larger and about a month ago several hundred deatn were reported to the office in one day. But officers here find it difficult to explain the delay of the office in France in reporting some cases. Every cable report gives the date when each man was killed, wounded or Missing in action. Most of the killed in action now being reported are for uctober and November. But a percentage of the reports deals with September and a few with August cases. First reports on some of the seriously wounded cases still run as far back as July. One startling case is that of a soldier who was captured months ago. Report that he had escaped from the enemy and rejoined his command came in a few days ago; he had never been reported missing in action. BED CROSS WOTTED BATE HELPED. It has been well established that the War Department has not co-operated as it should with the Red Cross. No information can be obtained from a single official or worker in the latter organization, but it is easy to glean the truth from official "War Department statements and by talking with army officers. During the first few months of the war assistance was given by the War Department, the statistical division answering all questions asked. Difficulty was first experienced last spring, when Gen. March announced that the emergency addresses of men whose names appeared in the casualty list would be published no longer. Requests were made for these addresses, but the War Department replied that it was against the policy to give out the addresses'and that they would be given only in certain cases, which need not be described here. Tractically every one is agreed that the plan of giving out casualty news from Washington was the right one. News of that character checked in Washington is more likely to be accurate than dispatches from overseas. Moreover, messages sent from abroad to Washington in official sacks are mom likely to reach the families interested in L

a reasonable time than if entrusted to the open mail. Generally speaking, the system has worked very well, the mail reaching Washington two or three days in advance of other Taxis mail. HAMSTEINQINQ THE BED CBOS3. The rule making the Red Cross merely an auxiliary to the War Department and restricting its news output to information supplementary to the official reports appeared reasonable at first; as a matter of fact, it has destroyed the value of the Red Cross work to a large extent. From the beginning, it has been learned at the War Department and at the capitol. Red Cross workers in France were informed that they need not send emergency addresses because they would be published by the War Department. In any event, the Rei Cross was forbidden to use the addresses in advance of the official report's. Almost from the start the situation was bad because the official reports were fo late. By lost spring the Red Cross had a distressingly large number of reports on wounded, sick and dead men with which it could do nothing. Kven if a father wrote to the organization about his son and the organization had the information it could not give the facts to the distressed father because the War Department did not have them. east ciiiP GQRPORALJAGK HOME Jno.

reducing "the present basis of general prices that are abnormal," Mr. Gar said, "would be the making of simultaneous reductions in every direction." but ths. he declared, would be impractical. He urged therefore, that the steel tadustry, as the "barometer of trade," bgts reductions in prices, even at th cost of sacrifice. Such a course, he declared, would result in price reductions by persons buying stee, and "so on down the line," until a stable business basis was reached. "If the workmen are treated fairly nnd liberally," hesaid, "they will stand ami contend for 'fair treatment of the employ r."

Sage Tea and Sulphur turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur. properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowdays we simply ask at any drug store for Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." You will get a large bottle

I of this old-time recip Improved by the

addition or other ingredients, at very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now. because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your ahir, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a tlma; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound Is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. Adv.

So far as is known John is the first of the East Chicago Co. L boys to reach home with an honorable discharge following the signing of the armistice. It was on October 1st that Co. L, 151st Reg. 3Sth Div.. started overseas to take its place in the activities at the front. Corporal O'Halla was all ready to go, but at Long Island he was smitten with the influenza and was sent to the hospital.

Vpon recovery he again started overseas, but the boat on which he took passage had only gotten about a day's run from Halifax when the 'armistice was signed and the boat recalled. One of John's companions. Paul Lajck. whose parents live on 143rd street, went over on the boat leaving the 1st of October, but died, en route and was buried at sea within a day's run from P'rance. O'Halla, who was assigned to duty as a machinist, is looking every inch a soldier and says that he is in perfect health. He is given, four months in which to return his uniform.

Of course vou have, but perhaps you did not know they were "Big Bens." They are usually housed, in exquisite cabinets. They are simply gorgeous in appearance. Many a cabinet designer has worked overtime to make a "Louis De. Luxe" cabinet. These "Big Ben" talking machines possess ten thousand salesmen's talking points except TONE. When you are shopping in search of a phonograph," take time to look carefully into the hundreds of "Big Ben" talking machines. What is a "Big Ben" Phonograph? Did vou ever look into an alarm clock and see the number of cog wheels? "Big Ben" phonographs have just such a motor. A clock-work, cog wheel motor. Such a motor is all right irr a clock but not in a phonograph. A clock is a slow-going piece of machinery. A phonograph motor must move many times faster it also wears more quickly. "Big Ben" motors are made by "concerns who never made a nhonoorAnh or know nothing about the acous

tic principles of sound. All "Big Ben" phonographs are assembled. The motor is made in New York; the cabinet by a furniture factory in Battle Creek; the tone arm and sound box in Boston, and the balance somewhere in France. The parts were not made for each other. It is all stock material. This Man Worked 35 Years fo Give You fhe New Re-Creation Edison Phonogragh Thomas Edison is the father of the phonograph and he is living today to see his invention the only one of its class in the world. ' The Motor of the New Edison is worm driven no cog wheels to rattle and will last a lifetime. The diamond disc records are not pla.yed by the use of a needle dragging the tone arm across the record it has a worm driven device leaving the diamond free to oscillate, producing a tone the re-creation tone which is so much human that experts are deceived. You could place the mechanism of the New Edison Re-creation Diamond Disc Phonograph in a dry goods box and still have a finer phonograph than if you owned the best "Big Ben" talking machine ever placed into a "Louis D,e Luxe" cabinet in tone and mechanism.
