The girl, who is about 83 years old and of the domestic servant type. has been in Casper three Weeks and has been emyployed at the Adams rooming house at 340 West street. She ‘Was arrested last night at 9:30 at the Arkegn for investigation regarding her sanity and qill be examined tr day. Mrs. C. F. Adams, proprietor of the rooming house where the gir) has been employed, stated to The Tribune this morning that she had been forced to discharge the Craig gi because of evidences of mental de rangement “The girl was not only tncompet- ent.” said Mrs. Adams, “but she ap- peared to me to be slightly mentally unbalanced. She was not at all vio lent but moped around: and was a habitual cigarette smoker. T dis charged her early last week and paid her for the three days during which she was employed here. “From your description of the clothes, I am positive that the girl in the city jail is trices Craig, whom she represents herself to be.”* Possibilities of the woman being confused with Clara Phillips arose only through a fairly accurate iy> sical resemblance to the noted mur- @eress of the Pacific coast. The Craig girl is of medium height, ‘wo'ghs about 150 pounds and has dark hair. ‘When arrested sme wore 4 shirt ‘waist, brown check skirt, black cloth coat, a black felt hat covered with grey satin and untrimmed, black ox- fords and carried a cheap leather handbag. During the night she slept on the cot in private cell No. 2 and removed only her hat and shoes, She refused breakfast this morning and when awakened at 8 o'clock appeared sul- Jen and uncommunicative. Other than admitting her identity. e she had been working and the Jength of her residence tn Casper, she id not seem to desire to talk. Questioned as to why she had been Red 4 urrested, she answered that she did not know. Clara Phillips, whose antidiluvian activities with a hammer tn the sub- urbs of Los Angeles, resulted in her beating to death a woman of whom ahe was intensely jealous, ts probably the most notorious character in the country today. She and the woman whom she killed, Alberta Meadows. ‘were former chorus girls in the rame musical comedy and that background alone gave 9 background for fertile minded writers to unloose realms of publicity. The brutality of the murder, the tnusual method employed, and her sensational escape added fuel_to the fire. Ever since she sawed her way out of a steel tank in the Los Angeles ja’l while she was awaiting trans- portation to Sen Quentin penitentiary to serve a 10 year to Ife imprison- ment term for murder in the second degree, the papers from coast to coast have featured her exploits.

JOHN WANAMAKER, FAMOUS MERCHANT, IS DEAD PUBLIC MEMORY IS SHORT; KEEP YOUR BUSINESS BEFORE PEOPLE OR THEY WILL SOON FORGET YOU There are many smart men in business today; men who are thor-| oughly familiar with every angle of their business. These men know ‘the: cost of every article they are hundling dnd understand all the mechanical} operations necessary to running the business. Successful merchants now-a-days realize that the selling end of the business is the most important: for no matter how good your line of| merchandise is, unless you sell it at a profit you will soon go broke. » | Many of these merchants make the most careful study possible of; the mechanical end of their business and neglect the most important, namely advertising. Most men do not realize that advertising is a science that reqcires a great deal of study. I have seen smart men sit down and sermtch off an advertisement in about five minutes time. An advertise, ment which costs them good hard cash and yet they put practically no thought nor effort in the copy, and afterward blame the newspaper if the ad does not pull. } Every business, needs an advertising manager. Such @ man soon pays for himself because the advertisements which he writes doubles the volume of the business. There are merchants who think they can run a large business with: out advertising. The graveyard of business failures is dotted thick with tombstones of gentlemen who thought that way. Advertising cuts down the selling cost of the goods and makes them! easier to sell and often sells the goods without the help of a salesman, Nowdays people invariably call-for advertised goods and the mer- chant who doesn’t realize the importance of building up good will by keeping his name before the public is very much behind the times. __ During the war the Gillette safety razor company sold their entire output of razors to the government and they were unable to fill orders for home consumption; still they continued to advertise, for they realized that if they did not they would soon lose the goad will and confidence of the public. 3 | The public memory {s very short and the public can forget you and} your goods in about sixty days time. It will cost you twice as much to} get back the confideace and good will of the public which you could have maintained had you kept your name before the public. Consistent advertising every day will pay in the long run. You can} always step ahcad-of your competitors by using larger space than he} does. Dunns’ and Bradstreets’ books contain many records of firms which failed because they did not advertise. A word to the wise is suf-} ficient.
