ORGANIZED BAND
OF AUTO Thieves
IN RICH HAULS
Bushels of Jewelry, Worth
$3.50, 900 or More, Was
Gathered by Gang.

Boston, Oct. 21-"Somewhere in
-" are several bushels of jewelry
with an aggregate valve Of probably
a quarter of million dollars that has
been stolen the past few months from
suburban homes in the vicinity of Bos-
ton and from the summer homes in the
fashionable colonies along the North
Shore. What has become of the vast
amount of jewelry is as much of a
mystery as is the identity of the
thieves who stole it. All that is def
nitely known is that the cleverest
thief hunters of the big detective
agencies as we'll as the police Of near
ly all the New England cities have
been conducting a diligent but fruit
less search for some clue that would
lead to the recovery Of the stolen jew
elry and the capture of the thieves.
Meanwhile the wealthy residents of
this section remain in a state of panic
lest their homes may be the next
to be visited by the jewel thieves.
What to the police is the most mys-
tifying angle Of the case is the fact
that not the slightest clue has been
unearthed as to the whereabouts of
any of the stolen jewelry. The amount
and value of the loot are so great that
to those experienced in such matters
it appears almost increditable that it
could have been disposed of without
it becoming known. Advertisements
describing some Of the stolen jewelry
and offering big reward for its re-
covery have been published in the
newspapers. Every pawnshop within
radius of several hundred miles OF
Boston, and even those in distant cit
les, have been gone through with q
| fine-tooth comb. Every known "fence'
has been raided and hundreds of "stoo
pigeons" have been quizzed. But al
has been in vain.
The police are willing to admit thai
the gang is one of the "slickest" witt
which they ever have been called upor
to deal. The thieves are believed to bt
of the automobile type, who rendez
voused in Boston or some more dis
tant city, motored to the place wher'
the theft was to be committed, made
the break and then sped away. Abou
the only basis for this theory, how
ever, lies in the fact that an automo
bile or some other conveyance woul'
have been necessary in many cases tt
carry away the large quantity OF silv
erware, jewelry and valuable bric-a
brac that was stolen.
In the late summer and fall tn
thieves confined their operation
largely to the fashionable places alonl

MISSIONARY
WILL BE CANONIZED

New York, Oct. 20.-Rev. Isaac Jo-
CUES, French Jesuit missionary who
was tortured to death by Mohawk In
dams 270 years ago near the present
village of Auriesville, N. Y, will it is
expected, shortly be declared martyr
and worthy of the veneration of Chris
tians by the Congregation Of Rites at
Rome. Information to this effect has
been received recently from Rev. Cabs.
Macksey of the Gregorian university.
Efforts to promote the canonization
of father Jogues were instituted more
than $50 years following his death,
or to be exact, in 1908. Prior to that
date considerable repreparation was
made b ythe compilation of facts con-
corning him and other Jesuit mission
aries of his time, who likewise suffer-
ed martyrdom. These were Fathers
Lalement, DANIEL, Bebeuf and GARNER
Father Jogues was born at Orleans,
France, February 10, 1907, and enter
ed the Society of Jesus in 1924. Or
dained priest in 1886 he went to
Canada as a missionary to the Hur-
ons. While returning from a journey
in 1912, through the forests to Three
Rivers, he was capsared for the first
time by the Mohawks, Who tortured
him, but permitted him to liv>; A yeal
later he escaped through the aid OF
some Dutch traders.
Returning to France, Father Jogue'
was sent back to Canada at his owr
request to establish a mission to the
,Mohawks. This was. called the Mis-
sion Of the Martyrs, because OF tht
many Jesuits who had already givel
their lives to the spread of the Chris
tan religion among the Indians. -,

Hot=Bed and Cold-Frame Culture in the South

Glass covered hotbeds, and cold
frames covered with either glass or
cloth. may we'll be built at this sea-
son in the South by farmers and 9TH
er garden owners who do not already
possess them. say specialists OF tae
United States department of agricul-
ture. In this section number of
different vegetables and fllowerins
plants can be grown turnout the
winter with the protection of such
equipment. Even in the colder por-
tons of the South, the beds and
frames will be needed in late winter
and early spring for starting early
plants, and in many instances the
garden owner has a better opportun,-
ty to build them now than he Will
have later
Making the Hotbed.
A hotbed by 6 feet, or one cover
ed by two regulation glazed sashes,
will be large enough for the average
garden and can be constructed rather
cheaply. A backyard gardener may
even find that bed by 3 feet, COW
cred by one cash. is sufficient to nett
his needs. In the colder regions Of
the South some form of heat should
be supplied. Fresh manure from the
horse stable will be found satisfac-
tory for this purpose. Turn this
manure two or three times befO" e
placing it in the bed, in order to make
it uniform in composition and me-
chanical condition. Make the exca-
walton for the bed about 10 inches
deep and put in Is to IS inches of
fresh manure, packing it we'll iy
trampling. Make a frame to fit tho
sash to be used This may be Of
boards, 70 inches high on the NORTH
and several inches lower on the
south side. so that the sash will have
a slight slope toward the sun. Place
or inches of good garden loan
over the manure and cover the franc
with hotbed sash or. heavy canvas
preferably the former. The manure
will heat quite rapidly for the firet
few days. During that time ventila+e
the bed frequently, to allow the gases
to escape and to lower the tempera'
ture. The seeds should not be plant
ed until the temperature goes dtWl
to so degrees or IS degrees Fahren
het. After the seeds have beer
planted, close attention should b.
given to the watering and ventilation
of the bed. The soil should never b
allowed to dry out, as an excess I"
moisture stimulates the development
of diseases, especially damping-off
Water should be applied early enough
in the day to allow the plants to dr.:
before night. Ventilate the beds dur
ing the heated portion of the day, bl
cover them in time 10 insure thei
warming Up enough to prevent chill
ing the plants during the night.
In the lower South cold frame
may be used instead of hotbeds TO
all plants needing protection. Sucl
frames also may be used even as ia
north as Washington, D. c., for Ger
tain harder plants. These frame

arc made like hotbeds, but no manure
is used. They may be covered either
by sash or some cheap cloth such as
unbleached muslin. Such frames, IA
or more feet wide and as much as
several hundred feet long, are used
extensively in North Carolina and
other portions of the South by COM
mercial truckers.
Plants to BE Grown in Beds and
Frames.
The plants which it is practicable
for the home gardener of the South
to grow in protected beds and frames
during the winter include lettuce
radishes. parsley, and spinach To
ward the latter part of the winter the
beds may be used to give an early
start to the plants to be set out later
in the open garden. If it is desired tc
use the frames for flowers, good
plan is to SOW pansy seed in them
in the fall, the plants to be Set out in
the open ground in the early spring
The late autumn and early winter
crop of lettuce should have been
sowed in the open ground from Aug
ust Is to September 10 and should
be set in the beds by October 10
Head lettuce should be set by II
inches, while the loo se-leaved varie
ties may be set close. Seed for the
spring crop should be sown before
the last of October in beds, belns
transplanted later with the proper
spacing for Development
Radishes may be grown as a cater
crop between the autumn and sprin$
crops of lettuce or. as a filler between
other plants. Parsley seed is sowr
in the open in August or September
the plants being transplanted Later
to the frames. The leaves may be Gu
thruout the autumn and winter.

The state Department had no news
today OF the fate OF Americans at
