Bold Daylight Robbery


Theodore J. Loomis, a veteran of the
Civil War, who keeps a grocery at 146
North Fair Oaks avenue, was the vic
tim this afternoon of one of the boldest
daylight robberies ever committed in
Pasadena. During the early afternoon
coatless man entered the store while
LOOMS was alone and asked for a
gallon of gasoline. The proprietor took
the empty can and went into the back
yard where the gasoline is kept, leaving
the supposed customer alone in the
store. When he returned a few min
utes later the man whom he had left
in the store had disappeared and with
him the entire contents of the money
drawer. $10O in gold, some small change
and a pension check indorsed by Mr..
Loomis. The proprietor Immediately
notified the police and gave as good a
description of the thief as he could.
The theft was committed right in the
busiest time of the day, with hundreds
Of people constantly passing the door.
No one noticed anything strange and
the description given by Loomis would
ut thousand men. The similarity of

HOUSEHOLD ARTS.
Ne7O School Opened to Prepare
Women for SeIf-Support.

Although most avenues of self-support open
to women are overcrowded, it would seem from
statements made at the opening of the new
School of Domestic Arts and Science, at No. s22
Lexington avenue yesterday afternoon that the
most ancient and approved occupation that OF
needlework. is not.
'Dressnakers positively begging for even
partially competent assistants" said Mrs
Charles S. Noyes. chairman of the board of di-
rectors. "They come to the church sewing
schools and ask for any one who can even handle
a needle. A who has just opened a
dressnaking establishment here, after receiving
a course OF training in France, says she has ad-
vertised and advertised and has had only one
reply"
For milliners there is also a great demand
Mrs. Noyes said. TO say nothing of the cooks
Iaundresses and other domestic workers that the
school will supply.
The guests were received by Mrs Noyes and
Mrs. Henry L. Stimson. president of the school,
and Mrs William Chambers presided over the
punchbowl the table being decorated with
daffodils and ferns All the rooms were open
for inspection.
The school has already begun work with a
dressmaking class. and several other classes will
open on Monday. Among them will be a private
class in shirtwast making for women who want
TO make their shirtwaists. The course will
include six lessons and will cost S3 Numerous
applications for admission TO the various classes
are being received from all the city and
the suburbs. The women are extremely hoperuI
about the future of the school and are already
beginning TO talk of an endowment fund OF

An anonymous benefactor has paid the rent
for three years. besides equpping the school, and
ii is expected that each class. as the
school is in running order will be self support
ing, save for the salary of the teacher This
gives three years of comparative immunity from
financial care, and during this time the women
intend to work for endowment fund.
