GRAVE ROBBERS At WORK
Open New Made Grave at New Sharon
But Leave Without Taking the
Body Away.

New Sharon.-Police and county au,
thorities are mystified by the activi-
ties of ghouls who opened the grave
Of Mrs. Raseman Bond, who was bur
led here January 26.
The outer box and casket had been
broken open and the body was dis
turbed after which the body was re-
turned and the grave refilled.
Relatives who visited the grave no.
ticed the disturbed condition of the
mound and received permission Of au-
thorities to disinter the body. The dis
covery was then made that the grave
had been violated.
Nothing was stolen from the body
ard authorities are unable to ascribe
: reason for the act
One theory advanced is that the
robbers opened the wrong grave and
then did not have time to open an
ether.
Guards have been placed in the GEN.
etery following the robbery.

Des Moines.-An investigation into
the causes for boys and girls between
the ages of fourteen and sixteen years
leaving school is to be made by Ellen

sioner's office. There are now LOO
boys and girls of that age who have
work permits as required of young
people between fourteen and sixteen
years of age who are employed.
81 consider mere figures as to the
number of young persons of high
school age who are working of little
value" says Commissioner A. l.. Ur-
lex in outlining his plan of finding out
why these young people quit school.
"If we can find out why they stop we
will have some information worth
while. We must find out causes before
we can recommend a cure.
This investigation will extend into
all parts of the state. II will not be a
hard matter, to work out, as we have
the names and addresses of these LOO
who have taken out work permits"
Two years ago an investigation was
conducted by the extension depart
ment of the State university OF Iowa
along similar lines. Boys who had
quit school to go to work were inter-
viewed in the cities of Des Moines and
Sioux City. The very large per cent
of them gave as their reason that they
had to make money, many of them to
help support the family. A few re-
ported that they quit because they
could not get along well in school,
that the work was too hard for them
and that they would rather take up
some kind OF employment
