Safest Place for Jewels.

A few years ago one often heard
that women who possessed jewels OF
value were becoming afraid" to wear
them owing to the risks which ac'
companied displaying their property
in public. 1t became the custom to
seek some place of security where the
more precious possessions could be
deposited. Jewels were banked" or
committed to the protection of safes
and strong rooms. But gradually tho
sense OF security has in some degree
departed. The modern woman has no
capacity for matching the resourceful
ingenuity of the modern thief. The
most astounding cases of Jewel rob
berry show that no precaution is be-
yond being intelligently anticipated.
After all, It is not surprising that those
who possess Jewels Of value are begin
ming to realize again that their safest
place is that for which they were In
tended and are wearing them more
than ever.

CHAPTER u.
The Chief.

Inspector Martin MCGEE, the middle
aged solid executive of the New York
detectives, sat in his businesslike Of
Ace running over the reports on the
Hanska murder. now less than a cal
endar day old but already the subject
OF those innumerable extras which the
newsboys were shouting under his
windows. Nothing in the formal doc
uments before him served to give him
any new light. Lawrence Wade-that
looked like the man. Wade was miss
ing from the Curfew Club when the
police arrived; however. through the
good memories of taxicab driver and
a ticket seller. he had been traced to
Boston and there arrested in the very
act of engaging European passage.
The formal documents in the Han
ska case interested Inspector MCGEE
less, a great deal less. than an infor-
NAL verbal report made that morning
by the sergeant In command Of the
reserves.

BOARDING HOUSE DIFFICULTIES

! According to despatch from Pitts
burg. the high cost of food is closing
the board houses. With eggs. meats
butter, potatoes, ETC., at unprecendent
ed heights dozens of boarding house
keepers have been driven out of bus
mess. Even prunes have gone up to
a degree that makes this traditional
boarding house standby luxury in
stead of an economy.
It seems likely No doubt board
ing house mistresses in every city
have been driven to despair in thelf
efforts to continue serving satisfac
tory meals at their usual rates. The
margin of profit has grown steadily
less. and has often wholly diseap
peared. There is nothing to do but
cuose up or raise the rates-and
boarders naturally resist having their
board raised.
Nevertheless, the boarders must eat
somewhere If they go to restaur.
ant, they will have to pay more than
ever before There's no relief any
where from the high cost of food. And
presumably the boarding house PEG.
pie can serve meals as cheaply as any
body else can. Their rates, even
when brought into harmony with the
new scale of food prices, will proba.
bly, still be less than restaurant rates.
Thus there seems to be less reason
than ever why boarding houses should
60 out Of business. In fact, there are
better reasons than ever why individ-
uals or small families that get their
own meals at home should give it up
and club together, or patronize a
neighborhood boarding house.-St Pc
