a half day OF fruitless scouting, had
fallen afoul OF two motor-cars filed

So It was Nogi who had been car

KNITTING BAGS
AID TO SHOPLIF TIERS
WOmen's Knitting Bags Now Caus-
ing Merchants Much Uneasiness
THEIR Capacity UNLIMITED
Wide Openings Make Dishonesty Easy
Checking May Be Re-
sorted 10.
THEIR Capacity UNLIMITED

The opportunity for shoplifting on 6
large scale oifered by the universal
fad OF women carrying knitting bags
wherever they so is giving the mer-
chants of the country grave concern
They have recognized the yoluminous
bags with their wide openings an In
vitation TO petty thefts among un.
scrupulous women ever since they
first began TO appear in the down
town districts. but now that the
Christmas crowds are beginning to
surge through the department stores
the knitting bags have become prob
lem that is causing the merchants
many unhappy moments.
Some of the heads of the big stores
are in favor of the merchants adopt
ing the system said now to be observ-
ed in most of the Philadelphia stores,
that of checking the bags at the door
The inauguration of.such a plan, they
fear, however, would be looked upon
as an insult by the great majority OF
women, who, of course, are carrying
the bags for the purely patriotic pur-
pose of snatching every idle moment
for taking few more stitches on the
comfort garments they are making for
the American troops These women
would probably feel that not only were
they being obstructed in their work
by the checking system but that their
honesty was questioned.
Would BE Great Inconvenience.
The checking system would also
probably prove to be great inconven-
fence TO those knitters who have
grown accustomed to putting every
thing except the family cat in the bag
with their knitting The movement to
carry your package home with YOU
has turned the bags into a general
utility receptacle for those women,
and they have been looking forward
to the comfort they were going to
prove during the Christmas shopping
when the numerous small packages
have always proved a source of con-
stant care. Unless all the stores
adopted the check your knitting al
the door system, these women would
doubtless seek the stores which per
mitted the convenience of the knitting
bag
The great opportunity for the mis-
use Of the bags by dishonest women
or professional shoplifters who have
no patriotic purpose in carrying them
is easily recognized. Most of the
bags are more than half-yard deep
and are voluminous in their folds.
Their openings are made by attaching
the material to round or oval hoops,
which serve as the handle of the bag.
1t would be very simple matter for
the dexterous woman to open the
mouth OF the bag and slip something
into ii while her other hand was
busy

NAVY TO retain
CILNOUR DODIE
Gives Miracle Man OF Football
Contract For Next Year
DARTMOUTH ON HIS TRAIL
He viii Return To Annapolis In Feb
ruary To Put His Charges Through
Spring Training.

That the Navy is to retain Gilmour
Dobie, the miracle man" of football
has been formally announced by the
athletic officials of the Naval Acad-
emy
Coach Gilmour Dobie turned out
the very best eleven that the Navy
had and has been engaged 10 coach
the Middies again next year, This
will be pleasant news to the Sailors
and their supporters, for it was. .whis-
pered that Dobie was being sought by
Dartmouth The Green, however. has
selected Fred Walker. who turned out
an undefeated team at Williams
Dobie still is in Annapolis and will
remain here week or ten days
longer He intends spending the win
ter somewhere in the West, but will
return TO the Naval Academy in
February TO put his charges through
the usual spring training stunts.
Because of the unsettled conditions
real start until they met the Car
Isle Indians They were beaten by
West Virginia before that time. and
the record of the coach was marred
However, he didn't mind that, but took
spite out on the other teams which
visited Annapolis, for his machine
rolled up the greatest number OF
points ever gathered by Navy out
fit. Moreover, it led the country In
scoring for the number of games
played, being passed only by Georgia
Tech. which participated in one more
contest and took the edge in the ex-
ira combat.
Dobie likes his post at the Naval
Academy and the Navy people like
him. He is businesslike and strict
but the Middies swear by him. Real
izing that his great record as a men
tor warranted them i'm placing all
their faith in him, the Navy people
remained in the background and gave
this outsider free rein. His success.
I in great measure, has been attribut-
ed to the fact that he was boss.
Now that he is well acquainted with
Nayy's material and the conditions AT
the Academy. il is believed Dobie, with
start in the spring. will pilot the
Middies to more football history next
fall The new material looks promis-
ing and all Navy teams have the
weight, so it is simply up to the mir
acle man to teach tho game For the
