Facts that became known on Tues
day regarding the robbery Monday
night at the residence of Henry f.
Church at 90 Broad street show that
the house was entered shortly before
IA O'Clock, or within a few minutes
after Mrs. Church left the house. On
Tuesday morning MI Chureh's milk
man, named Anderson, came to the
house and stated that he might be able
to throw some light on the subject
He said that he came to the house
about $50 Monday evening to deliver
some wood that Mr.. Church had or
dered. The house was dark and,
thinking 10 one at home, he took one
bag of the wood around to the side OF
the house and as he was leaving the
wood by the side door he heard foot
steps within the house. He looked In
| the window and saw a man coming
| down the front stairs. He thought
nothing of it and went back after the
other bag OF wood and or his return
he tried the side door, which he found
open.
| He took the wood down stairs an6
on coming out saw two men standing
in the front hall, one putting on ar
| oversoat. As he went around to the
front of the house the two men came
out of the door, one stopping to pich
up the evening paper and place it OF
the window sill. The men came down
the steps, said Hello" to Mr.. Ander.
son and went on down the street.
One man asked the other what time
it was and his companion replied Ter
minutes OF seven" MIR. Anderson say.

$500 IN JE\NELRY and liver STOLEN

Lord, with q companion but when he
read the account in The Bulletin on
Tuesday he realized that the men he
had seen must have been the burglars.
The only thing that was left as q
clue by the burglars was q shoe pox
which was picked up on the front
porch underneath the window where
an entrance was made by forcing the
window with some instrument.
The total amount that was taken
away by the burglars was about SooC
and included cameo bracelet valued
at $780, q diamond pin SIS, lady
watch 800, set of earrings valued at
| S25, other earrings, several gold neck
laces four scarfpins, one diamond
silverWare and trinkets of lesser value
A mufE was also taken and an over
coat belonging to Mr.. Church valued
at $50. There was $50 in cash taken
and several checks The burglars
overlooked some Liberty bonds anc
twar savings stamps.
That the house had been entered
was first discovered by Miss Char
lotte Church, who returned home be-
fore the rest Of the family. When sht
entered the house she noticed that
runner in the upper hall had been dis
turbed and that the door to the spare
room, which is always kept closed
was wide open. She Went to the dool
and looktd in, finding the bureau
drawers all open and the contents
strewn about the room. This was thu
case in every other room in tn
house, bureaus ransacked and thing
on the dressers streWn about
The police were notified and an in
vestigation was made, but no clue
have been found as yet to the DARN;
burglars.

SOLDIERS KICK OVER
BEING PRIVATE CHAuFFEuRS

Roger A. Billiard and a man named
GLOW are two Norwich men who have
been in the medical transportation de-
partment at Chickamauga Park,
Chattanooga, Tenn, where it is re-
ported demonstrations are occurring
daily among the $50 men in protest
over the failure to return them to civil
life.
Mr.BuIlard was trained for first aid
war work on the battlefield and be-
longs to the medical department.
1t is said that a majority Of the men
in this company are not only of an I'M
usually high class of skilled mechanics,
automobile experts and specialists in
other motor lines, but many Of them
are married or have other dependen-
cies. Quite few OF them, it is de-
clared, have important and substan-
tial business connections says .
Chattanooga paper.
1t is reported that few, if any, have
been given their discharge, but that in
stead movement has been started to
transfer them into the motor corps.
This it is declared will be denlotior
for the men, as the present branch OF
the army to which they are attached,
is rated second only to aviation, and Is
considerably above the branch to
which the motor corps is attached.
The principal objection is said to be
over the fact that In many cases the
men are being detailed to act as pri-
waite chauffeurs to commissioned offic-
ers, especially in the evenings wher
| the latter come. to the city to attend
| dances and other social functions. L
| is claimed that the men who are II
| the medical transportation department
are tie peers in civil lei OF the doc
|
! Consequently, when they are ordered
out to drive g doctor to some socia
| function and are treated much in tht
| same manner as as ordinary footman
! there is considera bic resentment, ana
! this has spread throughout the whole
! company
/ II is further charged at some o.
/ these men have recently been assigned
! to act as chaperones to children of Of
fieers at the post and they are sen
| daily with them to the city and re
main there while the children go t.
TO school. One man, who was recent
ly placed in charge Of some children
on such mission, is reported to b.
an unusually successful travelling
man, selling auto accessories, etc
who makes monthly between $500 AM
$1,000. His position is said to b
Iopen for him, but ne cannot secur
his discharge, and consequently
acting in tfse role of chaperone at s.
u month.
Many efforts have been made by tn
men 10 secure their releases, but a.
have been turned down. and during tn
past few days the morale of the com
pany is said TO be exceedingly low
The time seems to have passed vile
the guardhouse has any terror for In
men. and open mutiny would not b
q surprise to many who know the eX
r act feeling of some of those i'll til
. company. Demonstrations have &C
Cured recently in which the me
showed their feeling in no uncertai
manner, and the situation seems TO b
growing more acute each Gay.

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
Il you wanolo keep your hair looking
It's best. Most soaps and prepared
snampoos contain too much allsah.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which
IS pure and greaseless) and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
things else you can use.
. One or two teaspoonfuls viii cleanse
the hair and scalp thornushl3. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. It makes an abun lance OF rich,
creamy lather which rinsee cut easily
removing every particle of dust dirt
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves
the scalp soft and the ta:r fine and
silky, bright lustrous. fluffy ana easy
to manage
Tou can set n1uisife3 cocoanut OF
at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and
a few ounces, viii supply every mem
Der of the family for n7cnths.
