TOLEDO, O., Nov. 18.—This
city, where women are struck
down by a phantom clubber, his
face dyed with crimson paint,
faces a yet'graver danger.
For Toledo has become the City
of Dreadful Suspicion.
Psychology is the answer. As
interpreted tfy the chief of police,
the coroner, the head of Toledo’s
State Hospital and psychiatrists
st Toledo University, psychology
says that the identity of this
maniac may, when learned, stag
ger the entire city.
A Leading Citizen?
He may be a leader In the com
munity. Ha may be a public
speaker, a man who arises to say,
"We have with us today— ”
But he Is not a man who says,
' We have with us tonight." For

'•It is very possible that some
esteemed and loved husband and
father, a respected citizen by day,
is the man who has put the curse
upon this town," says Dr. O. O.
Fordyce, superintendent of the
Toledo State Hospital and expert
on insanity, on manias.
He explains that a sadistic
tendency, rising to a crest at in
tervals, may send a man other

twilight speers of violence.

Terror Descends Again
Three women were clubbed to

others were beaten Into uncon

But now has come the fiendish
clubbing and murder of the girl

Her funetal had not been held

cynic says: “ Aw, I never rend the advertisements They
are full of hunk.”
But when one starts to look for it, .the “ hunk” in
advertiseing shows n mysterious tendency to be ab
sent. Specimens of it are hard to locate.
The reason for th at is simple. Bad goods cannot be
’uccessfully advertised. To stand up under the pitiless
glare of publicity, merchandise must he honest. It must
live up to its promises. Otherwise you would quickly
3ease to buy it.
So advertisers discovered long ago that for them,
too, honesty wlis the best policy. More!—the only pos
sible policy, if they were to remain advertisers!
Read the advertisements- They are not full of hunk.
On the contrary, tliey are full of houest information and
interesting news. They show you ways to be more com
fortable. They make life easier. They help you to be
happier and healthier. They teach you prices and values.
