POLICE STATION IS
ROUSED BY TH[FTS
Robberies in Fourth Precinct
Quarters Start Inquiry to
Clear the Mystery.

quite sensation has been created in
the ranks OF policemen connected with
the Fourth precinct station by a series
Of robberies which have occurred in the
locker roonf Of the station house dur
ing the hours when the policemen on
reserve duty sleep in the room.
Although a rigid Investigation has
been on at the precinct since the first
robbery was reported several weeks
ago. no charges have been preferred
against the cuIprit as sufficient eyi-
dence has not been obtained to sustain
charges The policemen detailed at
the precinct are making every effort to
have their superiors clear up the mys-
terry, as each man detailed in the sec
ton embraced by the Fourth precinct
feels that as long as the guilty person
is at liberty every individual who sleeps
in the locker room is under suspicion.
Policeman Charles w. Ricketts, was
the first man TO report a robbery He
informed his superior officers that some
one had entered his locker while he
was sleeping and stolen 81. While the
Ricketts, robbery was being investi-
gated Private Delany filed complaint
that he had been robbed of SIS while he
was asleep. On top of this complaint
Private Allen complained of losing s24
in the locker room Then Policeman
Spencer Roberts filed complaint of
missing 81 and several trinkets from his
locker. Besides these, it is learned. de-
spite the fact that the heads of the de-
partment are disposed TO keep the mat
ter quiet, that several other robberies
of money have occurred at the station.

stead Of there being friction between
Wilson and Bryan. there Is the utmost
harmony and cordiality.
1t Is learned that Governor Wilson and
Colonel Bryan have been in constant
communication for months, and that No
disagreement has risen between them.
The reports that Bryan was seeking to
dictate to Wilson as to Cabinet selec-
tions. and that his own acceptance Of q
Cabinet place was made dependent on
the appointment of certain other men
for whom he was demanding places,
are said to be without foundation.
1t Is further learned that the single
term question is not at issue between
Bryan and Wilson. Instead of being
the foundation Of differences. as report
ed, 1t Is said to have been eliminated
by Bryan himself. 1t is even reported
that it was Bryan who was responsible
for the shelving Of the six-year term
resolution in the House.

President-elect for a week has declined

three or four places which Governor
Wilson has not definitely decided upon,
although II is understood that his list
of availabilities has narrowed to about
the number of places to be filled-nine-

to distribution among the nine posts

About March Fourth.

Pre-inauguration weather began dur
ing the night and when the good house
holder looked over the roofs early to-
day he saw a touch Of white that sent
chills coursing through his frame And
there Is cvery appearance Of its continu-
Ing for some time. Because the ground
was warm from the suns Of springlike
week the snow did not stick and II
changed to rain in the early hours of
the morning.
Blizzard May Yet Arrive.
Although the Weather Bureau does
not go 50 far as to discuss the weather
prepared for March 4. the forecast for
this week would indicate that there
is every probability of there being any
thing but balmy spring westher to
greet President Wilson when he goes
into the White House. On Friday q
disturbance" In the Pacific States is
expected, and II that disturbance can
hold together for four days, travelling
eastward. the blizzard is assured.
The reports say that the distribution
of pressure for the week is such as to
indicate "a temperature below normal
over practically all districts east of
the Rocky mountains. On the Pacific
side 1t will be near normal.

they need 1t-but America is so different
from England that bombs are not

lily turn your best friends into your
worst enemies.
We have always been taught that
the greatest friends of our hairs are
our brushes and combs. They can be
easily turned into our greatest enc
mics if they are not kept clean.
1t is ASTONISHING how that word
CLEAN crops up when we begin to
talk of WOMANLY BEAUTY.
One must be perfectly clean both !,
in body and mind if one would be
beautiful.
There is nothing THAT picks up
germs quicker about toilet table
than brush, and it should be washed
at least three times a week. Do not
buy extensively backed brushes.
Look most to their use and discard
them altogether as often as you do
your tooth brush.
For very heavy hair there is a
brush made of heavy bristles set in
rubber which is very fine, but it
should not be used except for taking
snarls out. For brushing the hair and
massaging the scalp an ordinary
brush with rather closely set bristles
is fine to use and if you want to put
an extra gloss upon your hair after
you have brushed it at night, tie a
piece of velvet over the brush and rub
your hair carefully all down its en-
tire length.
There is nothing better to massage
the scalp than a piece of heavy red /
flannel over the fingers. A very coarse
comb should be used for heavy hair.
Never use a fine tooth comb, unless
vermfn make it necessary.
The combs also should be washed
at least three times a week.
Never use a brush or comb that |
has been used by anyone else. 1t is
quite as perilous as using another
persons tooth brush.
