METHODS USED BY DIPS VARY
PIekpoekets Of the Higher Grade Work
In Groups In Places Frequented
by Prosperous People.

AS usual thing. pickpockets vary
their methods to suit circumstances.
Only the low-grade dips work In pairs.
These are the men who operate on
street cars, elevated stations, plat"
forms, and similar places where they
will find crowds of pushed people and
have opportunity to escape if detected.
One of the pair shoulders victim
roughly while the other does the work
and makes a getaway, says the Bo-
hemian. Arrests are frequent, but con-
victtons rare, because the man cap
tured seldom has the loot.
The higher grade dips also work in
such places. The difference is that
they work In groups and choose times
when prosperous passengers will be in
the majority. During the fashionable
shopping hours and after the theater
at night are considered harvest times.
Last winter three dips worked clever

There are thousand and one rea-
sons why we should raise live stock
on the farm, and here are few of
them:
Because. while the owner is resting

In these days, when shoes cost 81 or

shoes once was. Those who wanted
shoes lined up with their heels against

armed with bunch Of twigs, took

Cut Of Months Leave
Requested by Daniels

Secretary Daniels sent to the Speak
er of the House yesterday a recon-
mendation for legislation which would
permit the curtailment, with pay. of
the annual leave OF absence now grant
ed to employees in navy yards, gun fac
tories and naval stations. Under ex-
isting law such employees are entitled
to thirty days leave annually.
Mr.. Daniels asks for a modification
of the law authorizing employees vol
UNFAIRLY to surrender fifteen days of
this leave and for the fifteen days so
surrendered they would be paid at
double rates. Wartime work, the Sec
retary says. makes the legislation nee
essary.
