housekeeper, devoted to her home and
her round of domestic duties, is under
arrest, charged with being one of the
most expert housebreakers and rob-

operations and the disposition of her
loot that not even her husband sus-
pected her. The woman engaged in
her dangerous business purely for the
love Of adventure. She profited little
by her operations and on several oc-
casions, according to her own story.
after looting the home of some friend
or neighbor, she would carry her spoils
to the river and throw the articles
away. one by one.
Following her arrest 1t was shown
that for nine years she had been max
ing the beds, washing the dishes.
sweeping the rugs and tidying her
home, sending her husband off to work
in the morning with full dinner pail
and a Mss only to turn to burglary
at every convenient time of the day.

The woman might have gone on many
years longer undetected had it not
been for the alert eyes of women who
told the police that in nearly every ill.,

neighborhood woman whose appear
ance tailed with that of Mrs. Hantz
had been seen either near or on the
premises. A few mornings ago five
detectives entered the modest home
Of the suspect. She greeted them with

she raised it and would have fred had

The woman, on. the advice of the

an honest effort, the woman could not

Kansas Woman, a Foreign Mis-
sionary, Makes an Important
Discovery.
CARRIED MAMA TO PEOPLE
How Moses and the Children Of Israsl
Were Fed During Flight From
Egypt 10 Explained by
Miss oidroyd.

And when the dew that lay was gone
up: behold. upon the face Of the Wild Wild
as ISM Small ia as tie boar frost on s''' the
ground. And the children of Israel
saw It, and they said one to another,
It is mama; FOR o. they s. Wlst tho not what
this bread which the Lord hath given
you to eat. .. But some of them left
1t until morning, and it bred worms.
-. and when the sun Waxed hot, 1t
melted.-Exodus 16.
Kansas City, Mott took a Uni.
versity of Kansas woman graduate
Miss Roxana Oldroyd, Of Arkansas
City, to prove that the 1sraelites were
fed mama in the desert on their fight
from Egypt-by bugs!
Miss Oldroyd is now missionary.
Her interesting discovery was pub.
lished to the world by Prof. w. II.
Robertson of the geological depart
ment of the university.
First, trees made the manna-that
was already well known In scientific
circles.
Then, second, the bugs that were
thereabouts waxed Industrious and
served it.
Cousins Of Green Hopper.
The bugs in the case IRE Indian
cousins of the American green hop.
per. Their average length is three.
quarters of an inch, the female being
larger than the male. The bugs are
pale green. These insects, Miss
Oldroyd reports, have been observed
to attack a tree in great numbers
when hungry. The trees In question
excrete through the holes In their
bark made by the insects, small par
ticles Of sap, which, after short
time, CONCEAL in oblong formations on
the outside of the bark.
When Miss Oldroyd, on vacation
tramp through the northern hills In
India, saw these small, round particles
attached to the sap-bearing trees, she
tasted Of them and found them
palatable. A little probing soon con.
WINGED her that here was mama and
the manner Of its provision. In this
she was supported by scientists.
Until later trip, however, the man.

to the neighborhood of the fleeing Is.
raelites was unknown.
However, Miss Oldroyd observed pa.
tiently. She eventually surprised the
insects in the act Of flying away with
the little bars of sap, or mama, and
following in the wake Of their flight
she found that the first thing a swarm
of the insects would do, If they were
frightened or met something strange
In their path, would be to drop tnelr
mamma.
Plain to Scientists.
/ 1t is perfectly plain, now, say the
learned scientists, supporting PROBES
sOr Robertson, to whom Miss OldrOyd
reported and sent two dead bugs and
sample of the mamma they had been
caught carrying away. A swarm of
hoppers started from the forest With
load Of mama, met the children Of
Israel and dropped their load. Moses
was caught in the shower and called
upon his followers to eat thereof.
The specimen Of mama sent by Miss
Oldroyd is four inches long and two
inches thick. It is sweet to the taste
and has the same food properties aa
maple tree sap.
Miss Oldroyd is n member Of the
faculty of Henry Thoburn college, Cal
cutta,. India.
