ERIE GIRLS ARE BURGLARS
Youngsters Confess They Entered
House and Took Furniture

Erie, Pa, Feb. 18-Four little girls,
ranging in age from to IA, confessed
to the police today that they stole all
the furniture they could carry away
from the home of Mabel McVey this
morning, while the occupants of the
house were away.
On the promise that the furniture
would be returned, the girls were
turned over to the custody of their
parents, They gained entrance by
way of broken window. According
TO their story, the girls were going
past the house with sled when a
"dirty-looking man" told them that if
they wanted some furniture in the
house they could help themselves.
They loaded the furniture on their
sled and hauled 1t to their homes. At
home their parents scolded them and
told them to take It back. They were
all promised whipping by their par
ents and just then the policeman
came and took the sobbing young
sters to the station.

From Texas

Akron, Feb. 18-William Spurlin,
his wife and five children, ranging in
age from 10 years to IL days, arrived
in Akron Thursday from their former
home near Dallas, Tex. The older
boys were barefooted.
They hadn't thought about the
difference in climate between here
and Texas, they explained, when Of
ficials sent out calls for the Charity
Organization Society to get warmer
clothes for the young ones and a job
for Sprulin.
The cotton crop had been failure
and they had spent all their money
coming north to Akron, where they
had heard there was plenty of work

HID TEETH FOR RANSOM
Man swears That Is Way Woman

Man swears That is Way Woman
Got Money From Him
Pittsburgh, Feb. 18-It behooves all
married tightwads who wear false
teeth to beware. Often the subject
of ridicule, artificial teeth have at
last been found to serve a practical
purpose in domestic life.
Frank Jefferson in divorce court
told narrowing story of the manner
in which his wife had frequently
forced him to come across" with
money by the simple expedient of
taking his false teeth and hiding
them.
The odd thing, to Jefferson's way of
thinking, was that even when he
waXed angry his wife would refuse to
return his teeth. Only Uncle Sans
coin of the realm would persuade her
that her husbands molars were es'
sential and necessary to his daily eX
istence.
Mrs. Jefferson's side of the case
was terse and to the point-her hus
band had refused her the money she
believed she was entitled to as lady
of the house Consequently she tool
these measures to get it.

Perlshes

Philadelphia, Feb. 1S-Andrew
Surab, 40; his son, John, 10, and John
Carpenter, 8, were drowned in Darby
creek, near this city. The boys were
skating on thin ice when they broke
through and fell into the water
The elder Surab attempted to res
cue them, but his heavy boots caused
him to sink to the bottom, where he
stuck in the soft mud
Other skaters threw ropes to the
drowning boys, and managed to
bring young Surab ashore, but in his
grief and excitement at the failure OF
his father to reappear on the surface,
he jumped into the water again in an
effort to save his parent, and was
drowned.

BABY WEEK
Promises To Be A Big Event
In Many Localities

There are 1927 communities con-
sidering some preparation for Baby
Week, according to the inquiries re-
ceived by the childrens bureau of the
u. S. department of labor. This num-
ber does not include those of whose
interest in the campaign word has
come to the bureau indirectly.
The letters about Baby Week are
still coming in from every state in
the Union and from every type of
community, such as Colorado settle
ment forty miles from a railroad,
club of women on one of the govern
ment reclamation projects, Mon
tana coal mining town with large
foreign population, a southern mill
village and a club of farm women in
middle western state.
Texas has its own Baby week slo-
gan-"Baby Health Is Texas Wealth"
and Mississippi has started com
petition to secure slogan for that
state. North Dakota reports plans
for a statewide essay contest in the
public schools. In few state CAM
paigns the State Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs, the State University ex-
tension department, the state health
officials, and those who are especial
ly interested in education are all CO.
operating in the Baby Week cam
paign.
Many large cities are going to have
Baby Week. Definite plans are un-
der way in Albany, Baltimore, Bos
ton, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Minneap-
oils, Philadelphia, Richmond, San
I Francisco, Washington and other
| cities. New York had successful
Baby Week in 1914 and will probably
hold another this year in the late
spring.
In its suggestions for Baby Week
observance the children's bureau lays
special emphasis on the opportunity
it affords for extending permanent
work for infant welfare, such as in
fant welfare stations, visiting nurs-
ing, special nursing and instruction
for prospective mothers, city inspec-
ton Of milk, special work for the pre-
vention of blindness, and little moth
ers' classes and home nursing in
struction for school girls in the up
per grades.

THE WOOL MARKET.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-The local wool
market has shown no important change
during the week and trade has been
very quiet owing to the fact that manu-
fscturers are amply supplied with raw
material for current needs and show
no disposition to operate ahead OF or
ders in hand. The price situation IS
firm a. far as desirable woods are con-
csrned and holders show no DISPOSE
ton TO stimulate business at the ex-
pense of concessions, but the inferior
grades. which are still very dull, have
weak tone and show considerable ir-
regularity in value. The mills are gen
orally running TO their full capacity
and many Of them have enough orders
on hand TO carry them well into the
new year, but new demand is only mod

Cotton

with prices at such remarkably high
levels it was not surprising that cotton
traders were anxious to take IN their
profits on the eve of three-day holl-

the principal reason for the heavy SELL

lators, which resulted In loss OF
