NOTHING TOO SMALL TO STEAL.
City Merchant Complains OF the
Prevalence Of DISHONESTY.


Prevalence Of Dishonesty.
''The old saying that nothing is too
small to steal is exemplified in our
business" said manufacturer OF
custom-made clothing. "Our thread
gives us lots of trouble. We have to
keep a wEtchful eye upon it. The
case in which it is kept is under the
ploye. If he chose to be dishonest
he could rob us of $1,000 a year and
we would be none the wiser. We
would, perhaps, notice that we were
using more thread than usual, but
the excess might be attributed to
other causes.
"We have to check out every spool
we give to our tailors. Even at this
we are in danger Of having cheaper
grade substituted. The difference In
the price of the spools may be only
one or two cents, but it offers a temp
tation if the scheme can be worked
on large SCALE Some years ago
we were forced to the conclusion that
a fence was being operated to dis
pose Of stolen thread. The spools
were sold by peddlers from house to
house. This suspicion caused large
establishments to have each spool
stamped with dyes which cut into the
wood, stating that the thread was
stolen from such and such 9 shop.

Curse on zborowski Family Finds
Another Victim.
That Elliot Zborowski, who was
killed on Tuesday in an auto accident
at Nice, died as he did, will be no sur.
prise to those in this city who
remember him as the greatest dare
devil New York and Newport society
ever had. Even Foxhall Keene, who
has had half the bones in his body
broken, was not the equal to this
American count for his wild, reck-
less disregard for life. He was born
in this city of long line of Zborow.

Strangely enough, his death is in
keeping with the traditions of his
family, for none of the male members
ever dies in bed. Back of this re.
markable circumstance is a tale of a
curse four generations ago launched
at the head of the greatgrandfather
Of Elliot Zbcrowski by an Irish lord,
who. in his anger, called upon hea-
ven to prevent any male Zborowski
from ever dying in his bed,
None has since. Elliot's father was
stricken with paralysis and died in
his chair before the son could ride
for physician. One of his uncles,
Elliot, was killed by a New York,
New Haven & Hartford train. An
other, Francis, was drowned in a
Williamsbridge pond Still another
member of the family was killed by
being thrown from a horse, and SO
