HSpPWPipWifP willing to do the other half by telling these readers -why they should invest in your securities? Very truly yours, J. B. Woodward, -- Advertising Manager, THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS. Note The net paid circulation of The Daily News for January aver aged 431,860 daily. o o BUDGET MAKERS ARE LIBERAL TO MAJ. FUNKHOUSER No scandal or foundation for any divorce proceedings have come from the morals inspection division of the police department, according to Second Reputy Sup't of Police Funk houser, and his office has never pro secuted a girl who promised to turn straight and get a job. Major Funkhouser appeared before the finance committee of the council last night to be quizzed by the alder men going over the budget. When he came to the morals division he said that the chief had told him it was the wish of the controller that he be granted $24,000 instead of the $36,000 he had asked for. The chief told him not to ask for more than $24,000. Whereupon the aldermen appro priated $36,000 for this division with the provision that Major Funkhouser be granted full authority in its ex penditure. Chief Healey, when before the al derman, had practically stated that he could get along without the morals division. The aldermen asked Major Funkhouser if the police department had ever done work now done by his office. "I don't think the .police ever did this work or would uo it under the present conditions," he said. o o GARMENT WORKERS READY TO STRIKE AGAIN , Wild applause greeted the state ment of Sidney Hillman, pres. of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, at a mass meeting of tailors in Hod Carriers' hall last night when he declared that the tailors of Chicago are ready to strike again next week if called upon and are anx-. iously waiting another call to strike the moment the organization believes the time is ripe. A crowd that filled the hall to over flowing greeted Hillman. Other, speakers were H. Schneid, I. Abrama, J. Glickman, Elbaum Grandinette and Stephen Skalka. POLICE PROBE POISONING OF LAKE FOREST GIRL To her high school friends detec tives looked today for clues to clear up the strange death of pretty Marian Lambert, whose frozen body was found in the woods near the Sacred Hheart academy of Lake Forest yes terday. Poison caused the girl's death. But the presence of a man's footprints parallel with those of the girl up to the death spot and the absence of a vial which might have contained the fatal potion make a knotty mystery. Whether the girl took the poison of her own will or whether the fatal draught was forced on her by the man whose footprints show beside hers in the snow-covered woods Cor oner Taylor of Lake Forest cannot decide. A lack of motives for murder or suicide puzzled authorities. If the murder was committed it was not by a robber, as her purse, containing a few coins, was in the girl's pocket A post-mortem examination of the body showed that the girl .had not been at tacked. With no important love affairs, a pleasant career before her in the last year of a high school c&urse and no apparent troubles, the suicide motive is missing. o o Medill McCormick, ill from com plication of diseases, convalescing.
