will be used. All of the material was

ROBBERS IN AUTO.
Two Ride About Locating Goods to
BE. Stolen at Night.

Chicago, June 3.-Two women who
dress stylishly and are experts in the
handling of an automobile, are being
sought by the police, who declare them
to be the cleverest thieves that have
visited Chicago in years.
Articles valued at $1,000 were stolen
from a furrier's esta blishment at night
following a visit from the two women
in the afternoon, when they had re-
uuested the goods to be laid aside un-
til morning Both women wore auto
mobile coats and their machine was
left standing at the curb while they
were in the store.
The police are of the opinion that the
women are working under the instruc-
tions of men. In the day time the wo-
men locate places to be robbed and
the men perform their work of burglary
at night.

1t is not fair to conclude that all music
is bad. This conclusion Is perhaps war
ranted by street pianos. fiat pianos. auto
matte pianos, more automatic pianists and
persistent vocalists but there are many ex-

easier to defend music than most people

1t must be one of the most comforting
things In the world for young. brave and
energetic musicians to read those lines Of
Friar Lawrence in Romeo and Juliet"
which tell that ''Naught upon the earth so
vile doth live. but to the earth some special
good doth give.
To prove that even music has its uses 1t
is only necessary to refer to a news story
which appeared in Philadelphia paper
