        ANOTHER MISSING GIRL.
        The Birmingham Police are seeking information that will lead to the discovery of Doris Chapman, aged 13, whose parents live at 32, Bordesley Green-road, and who has been missing from home since Tuesday afternoon last.
        The girl is 4ft. sin. high, has bobbed brown hair and brown eyes (the left eye is nearly blind), and was wearing a navy blue frock, a dark brown coat with astrakhan collar and cuffs, a blue velvet hat, and strap shoes and gymnastic stockings.
