Seek Missing Astoria Girl; Had Candy Store Boy Friend Fourteen- Aimee Loos Left Home on Errand for Mother Thursday--Seen Walking from School With Young Man.

Detective William Brierton of the Astoria is precinct and LudwigLos, of 552 Eighth Astoria, are working on a clue that may lead them to the hiding place of Loos's 14-year-old daughter. Last Thursday morning Aimee Loos left her home to attend the morning session of a business school in Manhattan, where, she has been studying for the past two months. Her are sure she had no intention of going away at that time. "She wore no hat or coat, just a light voile dress," said Mrs. Jennie Loos yesterday.

"I gave her some money and asked her to buy some things for me when she came home, and to start supper because I was going out in the afternoon. She left the money on a shelf in the kitchen. Now if she had intended running away she surely would have taken with her all the money she could get." Aime did not return home Thursday evening and nothing has been heard from her since. Friday her father, Ludwig Loos, made some inquiries and learned from girls in the school that Aimee was seen walking away from the school about noon Thursday with a young man. From the description of the youth the girl's parents are sure he is a young man their daughter" met a month or SO ago.

They say that they told her not to go with him, would not let her out evenings with him a and that on two occasions Mr. Loos spoke to the youth, telling him not to see Aime again. "She was too young to be having any serious affair with a boy," said Mrs. Loos. "She will be only 15 the ninetenth of this month." The parents said they understood the boy lived somewhere in Manhattan.

They believe he is about 19 rears old. An investigation through the neighborhood brought out the information that a candy store a short distance from the home was the "hollow tree" of the youthful pair. Here each left notes addressed to the other and often they met there. The clerk in the store paid little attention to them, thinking they were "just kids having a kid affair." She said that her remembrance of the youth was that she, heard him say his father owns a shoe shop on Ful-, ton Brooklyn. All day and late into last evening Loos, who took a leave of absence from his work as a machinist, sought his daughter in places where he believed she might be.

Detective Brierton also worked on the case. The shoe store clue was the first that gave any intimation of the identity of the youth in the case sufficient to enable the searchers to have a chance to locate him, Aimee is about five feet tall, weighs a little over 100 pounds, has light brown bobbed hair and blue eyes. When she left home she was wearing an orchid colored voile dress, white silk stockings and champagne colored pumps. She has a shaped birthmark on her left thigh, which is noticeable when she is wearing a bathing suit.

will be on the way to the Governor before the end of August, according to plans made at a meeting of south side civic leaders, held in Ozone Park last evening. The meeting included delegates from more than twenty civic associations in Jamaica, Richmond Hill, Woodhaven, Ozone Park, Liberty' Heights, East Glen Morris and other, secitons of the south side of the borough. It was held in a meeting room on Liberty ave. near 103d Ozone Park. The meeting began with a general discussion of the situation which delegates all held to be unfair and discriminating.

At the outset the claims upon which the insurance companies base their right to fix high rates were discussed and Answered. It was pointed out that where in some parts the borough and the south side of Queens the rates are 50 cents per $100, in the sections affected the rates are from $1.00 to $1.25. One of the claims of the companies is "inaccessability," yet pointed out that the sections affected have a great number of well-paved automobile boulevards that give easy access to fire companies. Among the highways mentioned ahe Lefferts Liberty Van Wyck Rockaway Jerome ave. and Haw.

tree Creek blvd. In further answer to the claims of insufficient fire protection, it was pointed out that there is at least one fire hydrant in every block in the section and that a test made this week by a man competent to make such tests showed a minimum pressure of 53 pounds and maximum of 57 pounds to the square inch. To the claim that the houses are 80 close together as to make the spreading of a fire easy, it was pointed out that practically all the houses in the affected district are detached or semi-detached houses with from seven to twelve feet between each house. It was also pointed out that the section now has on Lefferts bivd. a new double fire engine house.

A motion was carried that a photographer be engaged to take pictures to usbstantiate these claims, that these pictures be turned over to a custodian for the committee who was to retain them until directed how and when to show them and that the cost of this work be apportioned among the various civic organizations represented upon the committee and within the affected area. One delegate pointed out that the photographer can stand his camera in 'the front yard of one of the high rate homes and take a picture of the new fire house, showing 'that a high rate is asked on a house 50 close to the fire house that a good view of the apparatus can be secured. There was considerable discussion of the best methods of seeking redress. One was to seek the establishment of a state fire insurance bureau for small homes. This was all objected to in that this could only be done after a long, expensive find doubtful legislative fight.

The lact that it took about 15 years to Decure the passage 'of the Workman's, Compensation act and that other economic moves, such as the move for State ownership and control of water power has been unsuccessful, were pointed to as object lessons, and this project was dropped. The matter of a Grand Jury investigation was considered a bit drastic for the present, though accepted as weapon which might readily be used it needed.
