YEAR OF PROSPERITY
FOR AUTO INDUSTRY
Country Responded to Extra
Efforts of Enterprising
Manufacturers

It is generally agreed that the auto
mobile industry has enjoyed during 1915
the most prosperous year in it's history.
Dealers say the ci'lntry responded
marvelously to the extra effort which
was put into advertising and selling.
Big sales resulted in spite of the fact
that the foreign market for pleasure
cars was entirely wiped out Many con-
tend that the activity in the automobile
line also aided other lines OF business
generally.
While there was an inclination to cut
advertising and reduce forces generally
when the war started. this was averted
by a number of farseeing automobile
manufacturers, who continued making
their normal output while they spread
a campaign of optimism.
This sentiment became infectious. and
as a result the thousands of persons who
figured on keeping their money in bank
found that they would be out OF date II
they didn't keep abreast of the times In
the way of new cars. The development,
of new ideas In the way OF efficiency and
comfort was also a big factor, and, the
men who were not frightened by cries
OF panic set a pace which was followed
quickly by their competitors, and the
public responded

dollars worth Of jewelry in the autumn Of

ance with her at Hotel Astor tea
dansant, $4,000 worth OF jewelry has now
disappeared.
Mrs Pike is not the victim this time,
but Mrs. Rose Tevan, who subsequently,
leased the apartment. She did not report
the matter to the Fourth Branch De
tective Bureau for nearly 36 hours be-
cause she thought, she told the detectives.

to keep her valuables thus in a vase
She went to a matinee on Wednesday
Returning, she missed the convalescent
young man, and later, when she went to
put other articles of jewelry into the vase
she discovered its emptiness.
But she made no outcry to the au-
thorlties. She said she thought that
perhaps the young man, possibly Joined
by other of her friends, had conspired to
play a trick upon her But Thursday
evening she sought the police.
She offered. however, no charge or ac-

she did so ON the stipulation that the

FLEEING THIEVES DUPE
PURSUERS WITH GEMS
Throw Diamonds Into Gutter
and Escape While Men Stop
to Pick Them UP

When you see glttering diamond stick
pins staring you In the face from lowly
street cutters or sidewalks. don't always
stop to pick them up. 1t all depends
upon circumstances, for that's Just what
several Adams Express Company en-
ployes did yesterday. and as a result the
police today are still searching for the
two clever thieves who hurled n brick
through the window of the jewelry store
of Samuel S. Haas, 1898 Market street,
and made a safe getaway, carrying 5000
worth of diamonds.
The robbery is said to be one of the
most daring pulled" in Philadelphia in
years. 1t occurred in broad daylight yes
terday afternoon and within practically
a stones throw of City Hail. The thieves
were chased several blocks but escaped
by tempting and clever ruse.
Thieves are said to live on their wits.
One of the two yesterday evidently knew
all about the fair Atalanta, the Grecian
maid who was vanqushed in the Legend
ary foot race because she could not resist
the temptation to stop and pick up apples
dropped purposely by her crafty but
slower opponent.
BE that as 1t may. Samuel and his
brother, Joseph Haas, were in the store
when the robbery occurred. There was
crash of plate glass and Joseph Haas
ran forward in time to see mans hand
disappearing through the opening in the
shattered window, holding a large we'll
filled tray of diamonds, and he immedi-
ately raised cry.
The crash also was heard by employees
of the express company, and when Haas
called for help they Immediately gave
chase after the two men who had started
at break-neck clip west on Market
street. The thieves were gradually being
overtaken, when one of them ceverly
baited the pursuers with diamonds.
Stick pins and even rings began to fall
to the pavement and into the gutter. One
of the eXpressmen stopped to pick them
up. His fellow workers stopped also and
gat' sred about him. When they realized
they had been duped and took up the
chase again the thieves had good start
and escaped up an alley near goth and
Ludlow streets.
