on Way From Union Station
at 4 A. M.

Mrs. Frances Mann Hall. one of the
principals OF the Hall-Noyes School,
22 E street northwest. was attacked
by a colored man and robbed of her
handbag at Third and F streets north
west shortly after o'clock this morn
ing. The attack on Mrs. Hall comes
as Ine elimination of a series of hold
ups and robberies that have occurred
in all sections OF the city during the
last two weeks.
Arriving at Union Station from New
York at o'clock. Mrs. Hall decided
to walk to her home, which Is only
a few blocks from the station. With
her she had a pet dog, a dog cage,
which was used to carry the dog on
the train, and large travelling bag.
Instead Of taking the direct way to
her home. which would have been
through f street. Mrs. Hall walked
up F street, as there are usually pc
destrians on this 'thoroughrare on their
way to and from Union Station at
all hours, and she thought 1t would
be safer. When she reached Third
street she saw a colored man com,
down the street. She was obliged TO
turn south to get 20 the school. di-
rectly in front OF the colored man.
She had only gone a few steps in
Third street when the man rushed up
back of her and struck her in the ribs
with his fist. This blow probably would
have felled her to the pavement had not
the force of It been broken by the
dog cage. which she carried under her
arm.
The man then grabbed Mrs. Halls |
handbag She screamed and grappled |
with her assailant. but he managed 10 |
wrench the bag from her and ran up
Third street. disappearing in an alley. |
In the tussIe the handbag was opened. |
and Mrs Halls purse, containing her |
fell to the ground. AS soon as |
Mrs. Hall reached home and told her !,
husband what had occurred. he went to |
the scene of the robbery and found the |
purse with the money intact.
Mrs. Hall gave the police a good de- !
scription of her assailant. and said she 1

collect data as to the extent of obliga-

WOMEN WANT RAIN
FOR PEACE PARADE
Hope Heavens Will Pour Tor
rent of Tears on Marchers.
Who Will Dress in Black,

NEW YORK, Aug. e9-Thousands of
women in New York looked out upon
lowering skies early today and earnest
ly hoped that it might rain when the
monster peace parade moves down Fifth
avenue this afternoon.
Most of the women who will march
will be clad in black. The only music
of the procession will be muffled drums
and the leaders of the movement in
protest against the crime against hui
manity in the European war believe It
only fitting that the heavens should
pour down upon the silent marching
women a veritable torrent of tears.
An invitation was issued today to
all women visiting New York to dress
in black or white. those in white wear
ing black crepe on their left arm.
The parade is scheduled to start from
Columbus Circle at 4 o'clock and will
move down Fifth avenue to Union
Square. There will be no speeches
only the silent march of women of all
natlonalities and all walks of life.

When Quality Counts

The owner really begins to realize what
real quality is after he has driven his car
three or four thousand miles.
Real worth does not always show on
the surface. A coat of paint skillfully
applied makes it as hard to discover the
presence of quality as it is to discover its
absence.
So, do not let 5000 or $500 difference
in first cost keep you from deciding in
favor of the Chalmers. A Chalmers
Light Six" is worth the difference. 1t
will easily repay you the slight additional
cost in repairs saved in year or two of
service.

has been increased to $3.50.
