taken early Tuesday morning by a
lone burglar who was found in the
nurses home, adjoining the hos
pitaI. when one Of the nurses re-
turned from the hospital after at
tendi42 an operation which was not
completed until after midnight.
According to the nurses. the
burglar was found in the house. He
had the jewel case under his arm
and was ready to depart when the
ladies came in. Their appearance
did not cause him TO hesitate i'm his
departure. In fact he is said 20
have given his speed a little extra
momentum.
The burglar was even impolite
enough to disregard the ladies'
command TO drop the jewel box.
Instead he held tightly TO it and con-
tinued his exit through the front
door.
The police say the burglary was
not reported to them. The nurse at
the hospital who was asked con-
corning the reported robbery said
that the police were told of the in

equal to Z percent of net sales COM
pared with 1877 percent the year be-
fore and 14.e percent in 1915. Cars
sold in 1917 numbered 42,357, a de-
creas of Sc percent and nine per
cent compared with 1915. sales in

produce $4,000 cars. Although bank
loans of S7,4OO, 900 at the end Of the
