She's Prettiest In History Single ‘em out, or take a com- posite picture of ‘em all. It matters little, Without fear of guecessful contradiction, we make bold to proclaim that none of that gal axy of legal luminaries can hold a candle beside our newest justice of the peace, Rhea Mary Whitehead. From a pulchritudinons stand- point, Mi Whitehead ts the banner judge in the world. She is the prettiest justice of the peace In history. Not that she ts a justice of the peace because she {s pretty. Take a look at her colleagues on the bench and you'll know it's not so. Look at that bunch of selling laters, pulehritndinonsly speak- ing. of course, and know that Miss Whitehead was elected jus- tiee of the peace in spite of her good looks. Young, pretty ambitions, Mary Rhea Whitehead is out to make a record. “A woman Justice of the peace?” she used to hear some folks say. “She'd never do.” She's From Missouri, Too Miss Whitehead was born in Missonri, and she proposed to be shown whether a woman will do or not. To make the proof positive, she got herself nominated and elected as justice of the peace. She is only—well, she’s very young. She under served as stenographer Judge Mackintosh when i latter was prosecuting at brney, took the bar examina tion during Prosecuting Attor- ney Vanderveer's term, and was appointed deputy prosecutor, a position which she retained un- der Prosecutor Murphy until re- cently.

The scene is laid 399,000 years B. C., at the time when plain, bare skin (or spell it the other way) was the only full dress that was worn. The curtain goes up on a group of cave men and women who, save for a more or less adequate pelt of leopard or tiger draped over one shoulder and about the loins, are mother naked. They are eagerly watching the pursuit (off stage) of “Little Face,” the old maid of the family, by a cave man who has decided to break the hoodoo and chase her. It ts the day of marriage by capture and, while they watch the chase, the cave women swap bragging lies about their own courtships. “Even after he had caught me, my husband had to knock me senseless with the trunk of a tree!” boasts one matron SAY HELEN, LETS Go YO THE THEATER TONIGHT ——__ ~ | TWoULD RATHER GO SOME PLACE AND DANCE 5 | DON'T WANT ‘TO Go TO ANY OLD DANCE: AND HOP AROUND UATIL I'M ALL IN | IT HAS BEEN A Doss AGE SINCE I"ve DANCED AND | WANT !

The British warship Syd- ney drove the Emden ashore on Cocos island, where it burned to the water's edge. The Kon- Igeberg was chased into port at Rufigi island, German East Af- rica, by the British warship Chatham, and, it was believed, Is aground. The Emden was in Kiaochau bay when Japan dectared war on Germany, but escaped, and has been preying on British shipping in the Indian ocean since then. It sank between 26 and 30 vessels, including two ‘mall warships, and even ven- tured into two British ports on Its mission of destruction. The Sydney, which ran the Em den down, is one of the ships of Aus- tralia’s naval establishment. It re cently located the German cruiser, sank one of its store ships and cap- tured another, The Emden, how ever, escaped, and the Sydney had been pursuing her for several days The latter carried a heavier arma- ment than the German, and was one of at least 70 warships which had been combing the Pacific and In- dian oceans for the German craft for a month. Captain Von Muller and most of the crew of the Emden are be- lieved to have been saved, it was stated in official advices today It was added that a landing party from the Emden had cut the British cable at Cocos island before their ship was destroyed. Its commander was Capt. Karl Muller and its crew numbered 321 men.
