were bandits" They admitted taxi
ing property valued at more than
$1,000 from the theater alone and
that they had other sources for OBJ.
tanning loot.
The boys, Nicholas Hude of 225
East l49th street, and Charles Shiko
IL years old, of 233 East 149th street
We're interrupted just after they had
succeeded in escaping down the fire
escape Of the Leow theater with Jew
Try valued at $3.50. which they found
in the dressing room OF Lawrence
Hall, an actor. Hude was arrested
and then gave information which re-
suited in the arrest Of shlko at his
home.
The police have been able to re-
cover none of the loot, but the boys
have told them that a great part OF
1t is hidden in a cache along the Har.
lem river and have promised to take
the detectives there.
When the police found Shiko, who
had escaped with Mr.. Halls jewelry
in the afternoon, he roundly berated
IS young companion for "squeallng
on him, and declared that "such guys
ought to be croaked." After more
than three hours Of questioning he
consented to lead the detectives to a
shanty where Hude had declared all
the loot was hidden. Hyde had been
unable to tell just where It was, say
ing that Shiko knew all about every.
thing and was a great crook"
When Detectives mclaughlin and
Kenny Of the Bronx Detective Bu-
reau reached the hut. at 150th street
and Harlem River, the boys said q
box would be found buried in one cor.
ner of the floor A box was found
but It was empty,
The two bandits looked at each
other in apparently sincere horror
and exclaimed in unison; Double
crossed"
Then each declared that the Other
might have stolen their joint loot, OF
that two other boys who belonged tc
their gang and were used as look
outs might have turned the trick, az
they expressed it. They told Of an
other cache where the loot and 9TH
er property had been hidden, but
after a search of more than an hour
1t was decided to put Off further ef-
fort.
The boys were sent to the Chill
dren's Society.

DriUine the Chinese Pig" Outdoors
Exclusive Service The Survey Press Bureau)

(Exclusive Service The Survey Press Buream
 According to an old ditty, it was ona of the westernmost races of Europe that kept the pig in the parlor' But the Chinese go them one better, for the Chi- nese character for "home' means "a pig under a roof" Even in the present con ventionalized form of the character. the original crude drawing of the pig and the roof can be traced.
 Both drawing and idea are as old as the hills. They are used by Mrs. Lotta Carswell Hume of Changsha, China, to show the difficulty of introducing mod ern sanitary measures into the Asiatic republic. ''Unclean streets, insanitary homes, undrained cities, together with epidemic disease in all its varied man. ifestations, have been so constantly pres- ent with the Chinese that 1t has seemed impossible either to actually drive out these evils or to create any popular sen timent against them," says Mrs. Hume.
 Exporting Social Service
 Mrs. Hume studied at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore years ago before she went to the missionary field in China. In 1912 she returned to the United States on furlough and got into touch with va rious forms of social service. These, she was convinced, could be introduced in China, and on her return to Changsha, a city of 300.000 people, she organized tho Womens Social Service league. Her re- port of the work accomplished in the three years since that time forms interesting reading.
 The league was organized as a distinct ly Chinese institution. The work. while planned and directed by westerners, has been done entirely by Chinese women of the better class. With the exception of s150 subscribed by westerners. all the funds used through the first year were given by the Chinese. The wife of the governor of the province of Human, of which Changsha is the capital, is a sub scribing member and so deeply interested Is she in the activities undertaken that in addition to her regular membership fee, she has recently donated $SO0 for spe cial relief carried on by the league dur Ing serious flood.
 It was soon found that the work of the league had double significance. On the one hand it offered practical relief to the poor by teaching them methods of self-protection against disease and by of fering facilities for relief from diseas SC and unhygienic living; it also furnished the well-to-do, leisure class of Chinese women an opportunity for unselfsh ser vice for others. This Is something they have sorely needed, Mrs. Hume says. to save them from the deadening effect oi life without outward expression.
 Native Women Respond
 The enthusiastic response of the women has beene the best proof that in such work can be found that def mite point of contact and that basis for common interest of which all wes- ern workers in China have felt the need as they considered intercourse with women of the better class A unique Christmas celebration was ar ranged for the several hospitals of the city, and in every case the dominant note was Joy linked with and depend ent on service.
 During the first year two assistants were paid by the league-Miss Wu, a

Peroxide Does Not Heal

THE NEW CHALMERS CAbC|OLET IS OUI Many Novel Features In New All Year Round
 Car

To meet the demand for a three -passen- ger car for all-year-round use, the Chal- mers Motor company has just announced the new Chalmers Victoria Cabriolet for early fall delivery. Built on the stand ard Chalmers Six-4o chassis. the cabriolet has all the advantages of the roadster model, with the added feature of in- creased winter comfort.
 In past seasons motorists who pur- chased cariolet models have entered seri- ous objections to the many squeaks and rattles developed in the cars body. Ex- cess weight also added materially to the cost of the upkeep of the cabriolet over the roadster type of body.
 By abolishing the unwieldly glass and wood tops which weer regular equipment of earlier cabriolet models and substitut- ing a beautifully designed hand-buffed, leatfler-inclosed top with a clear vision windshield, the squeaks and rattles have been entirely done away with and up- keep has been accordingly reduced.
 Ample room for three adults has been provided .and the full, long-grain leather upholstery fnsures comfort for even the longest touring trips. The tops and sides of the interior are completely lined with a rich gray imported cloth with trimmings to match, and seat covers in several pat terms of materials to harmonize can be secured. Advancing the drivers seat a trifle gives plenty of elbow room to handle the car. The 57-inch vanadium steel springs are the longest and easiest riding springs on any car in its class.
 Double oval windows in the back and large windows in the doors furnishe un- obstructed vision on all sides. This is es- pecially appreciated when the driver Is backing the car on turning in traffic. The appearance of the car with the top low cred Is very striking and compares with the handsomest roadster models on the market.
 Simplicity of operation of the Chalmers Victoria Cabriolet makes a special appeal vehicle for shopping and as a fall and winter car for social calls and the mati- nee.

PAIGE DEALERS ID CELEBRATION
 OF NEW SALES PLAN
Big Event Marks Doubling of Factory Output-Ad- vantage in Delivery
 Emphasized

Every Paige disributor dealer and sub- dealer in he counry will sar a Paige 1ubi- lee next Monday and keep "open house. for an indefinite pjriod.
 The occasion for this nationwide cele- brstion, which is being announced through the newspapers of the country as the Paige jubilee. is the completion of plans which place the aPige company in a unique strategic position in relation to the industry. Specifically, the celebration marks the first anniversary of tho Paige's successful entry into the field of six-cyl- inder cars; and tho completion of plans that have enabled the company to double its output and provide immediate delivery.
 The launching of the seven-passenger Paige Fairfield ''Six-46'' a year ago and later the hve-passenger Hollywood "six- 3s'' brought the Paige prestige and great commercial prosperity.
 This success and the ever-growing de- mand would have left the Paige in dif- ficult position had not certain plans been started months ago. A larger factory useless assets without parts and ma- terials delivered and at hand for use as desired, as many a manufacturer knows to his sorrow. Immediate delivery has be- come a bigger problem than sales.
 The fact that the Paige plans have been fulfilled and that the c0mpaA has not only Q larger factory ana sl Ga ter facilities, but also planty of materials and parts delivered and on the floor places the Paige in a peculiarly advantag- eous position.
 These are the reasons why Paige execu- tives and Paige dealers have inaugurated the nationwide jubilee celebration which will be held simultaneously throughout the the country and during which the for tunate position of the Paige will be em- phasized.

WEST AS EXPONENT. OF DRAGGED ROADS. HAS NO SUPERIOR.
Hard Surface Exponents, Point of Disadvantages of Dragged ROads-Hard
 Surface Best

Washington, October 9.-(Special. )-The consistent opponent of the dragged-road and in no section of like area are there so many miles of this type. More than this. and of really large importance, in the scheme of road dragging there has been carried out the major principle of through highways that not merely serve locally but have definite connections with main travelled and through routes entirely across adjoining states
 The excellence of these dragged high ways and feeder roads has SO improved previous conditions that they seemed to Serve all needs and purposes. While ad- hitting their real value the hard-surfaced opponents have pointed out that after all Toad-dragging was but an intermediate condition that must give away to con- etruction that would be permanent, a viewpoint that was readily accepted in the sections where road-dragging had been re- duced to an art
 There has been of late a noticeable agreement with this viewpoint due mostly to the large volume of touring that has been done in the east this season by auto mobilists from west of the Mississippi river
 These tourists in their calls at both the Washington and the New York tour Ing bureaus of the American Automobile association, have without exception stat ed their conversion to the hard-surfaced road. These tourists generally lived in sections where the dragged road was both prominent and excellent, but were im- pressed with the one big difference-the effect of rain.
 They told of many instances of home trips that had been planned that ordinar- fly could have been made at good speed and with comfort in dry weather, that had to be abandoned because of an hours rain. In their trips through the east, over the hard-surfaced roads, they found that rain did not interfere with their plans, and that the roads were trav- ellable no matter whether it rained an
