HIDING THEIR JEWELS
Few Women Make Use of Safety
Deposit Vaults.
Trunks Carefully Roped, Mattresses
and Hollow Foot Posts Of Beds
Chosen as Places Of Conceal
mont for valuablee.

mot one-fifth the jewels owned by
Chicago people are kept in safety de-
post vaults. as might be expected"
declared an officer of one Of the best
known Chicago safety deposit vaults.
In fact, even the persons who do
rent boxes at the vaults seldom keep
many Of their valuable jewels there.
II know one woman who keeps her
husbands life insurance policy in the
vault and pays an annual rental for
the box, while she keeps jewels val
ued at thousands of dollars in her own
home. It's mystery to me why moro
persons are not robbed of their val
uables.
There is woman of my acquaint-
nnce who keeps jewelry valued at
close to $4,000 in an old trunk in
her room. There is not even a lock
on the trunk, for she was obliged to
force this off one time when she had
mis1aid the key. 1t has not even the
quality Of escaping notice by its worn
appearance or obviousness.
Were 1t left alone 1t might possibly
escape search by an enterprising bur-
glar because of Its prominence, but
the woman has withdrawn even this
hope by binding the thing up with
straps and ropes tied In the most
complicated knots. She does not stop
to think that an enterprising second
story man could cut through those
ropes in half a minute If he had a
sharp knife.
Another woman conceals her Jewel
bag in the mattress of her bed. Old
as this place 10, the woman further
invites robbery by neglecting to sew
up the hole in the cover; or, If she
does do SO, merely bastes it up with
thread that a burglar would notice
twenty feet away. Another favorite
place is In some secret drawer
Usually in bureaus or pieces of the
sort there are a number of long draw
ers with a couple of smaller ones at
the top. Between there two small
drawers some enterprising furniture
maker hit upon the plan of placing a
concealed drawer. This was all right
twenty years ago, but don't you sup
pose burglars keep track of these
things?
"A woman Of my acquaintance has
the foot post Of her bed followed out
and places her jewelry there. This
Ia not so easy to find as it might
Seem, for the head of the post is solid

Rats Gave Burglar Alarm.

Rats not burglars, are believed to
have sounded burglar alarm in one
of the largest jewelry stores in Lon
don, England, the other night Short
iy after ten o'clock, the bell began to
ring furiously, and the electric lights
inside and out were suddenly switch
ed on. A crowd collected and watched
with excitement a Gordon of police
drawn round the building. But to
the amusement of all, however, the
alarm proved false. Investigations
showed that no one had forced an
entry, and it is thought that rats
scampering across a doormat, over
wires connected with the alarm, had
set the bell ringing and the lights
Rglow.

elimination Of Romance.

AS darkness settled over the Two
Tree Hill, Los Angeles, CAL, a few
nights ago, making the place more
lonely than ever: a. couple stood on
the very pinnacle and were married.
They were Miss Eva H. Hunter. a
school teacher, and Baylies Walker, a
business man. There were nearly 100
persons present. There was no light,
save that cast by the moon just ris-
ing over the city below. It was the
wish Of the bride that the marriage
tako place on top of this hill, on the
identical spot where they. were be-
trothed two years ago to the hour.
