 Cheating Cheaters." as its title indi- cates, is a battle of wits. but it is not that the battle is to be waged between prey upon the other under the mistak- en assumption that they are dealing with persons of wealth and social prominence. Nor is it revealed until fitting climax is reached. sstill later in the action. that the Quick-witted young woman who leads one of the bands is in reality a famous detective whom the crooks great ly fear. Naturally, she captures all the members of her own gang and those of the rival organization as well.
 An atmosphere of romance Is treated by love affair between the young wom- an detective and the man who leads one band of thieves. He had proved him self hero on board 2 liner, sunk by q mine in midocean. This part of the play is just bit far-fetched. even inNa farce, and does not ring true, but propably sat

Automobile thieves are playing havoc with owners of cars. During the past week a total of r cars have been stolen and although a majority of these have been recovered, some parts on all of the cars have been stolen.
 Police authorities are baffled. That the cars are being stolen, taken to a point outside the city limits and stripped of their tires tops, lights, cushions and tools leads the officers to believe that an organized gang is working.
 The Buick roadster of Dr. Jerome Meyer, 1007 South Twenty eighth street, which was stolen Thursday night, was recovered by authorities last night at Columbus, Ga, in the possession of four boys. The names of the youths have not been obtained by local authorities. Officers Ellis and DeGroat will leave this morning to bring the boys and ear back to Birmingham.
