Plastic Youth NoueIized

Julie NJ. Lipnman has applied some
of the psychological insight and fctional
skill which she utilizes in novelizing
femininity in Making Over Martha"
to similar purpose as regards the male
or inferior sex in Flexible Ferdinand. "
Miss I4inpman has light touch and
bright humor, and these with her
nleasant but never Overdone sentiment
make her new novel, which shows life's
moIding of plastic masculinity into
something like firm substance and for
NAL shape, very delightful reading. The
hero enters at the age OF seven and stems
off the pages when fully grown up. His
story has both life and love to it.

USE BRICK WRAPPED IN SOFT HAT M
 BREAKING WINDOW
Youth Arrested for Burgla- rizing Moore Jewelry Store
 Had Sound-ProOf Means

Lawrence Crunk, an 18-year-old white boy, is in jail for complicity in the robbery of the window of the Moore jewelry store on the morning of Monday, November 24: when articles to the value of $500 were stolen. Twenty-nine rings and number of beads and orfsa- nents were recovered from a place in the rear yard at Crunk's home, where he had secreted the booty.
 Crunk and two other young men were taken into custody yester- day as the result of work by Sheriff c. M. Nichol, Chief of Po- lice J. Frank Stewart, Deputy Sheriff J. L. McBurnett, City De- tective c. c. Lynn and Deputy Sheriff J. w. Baldwin, who have been quietly Investigating for some days. The men arrested with Crunk were released after being interrogated by the officers.
 Crunk is said to have confessed, and to have implicated another man not yet in custody. The off cers say he told them that the Moore window was smashed with a brick, placed in a soft hat to deaden the sound. He declares his accomplice smashed the win dow. Then they grabbed what jewelry they could reach easily and fled from the scene.
 Crunk and Harry Smith were indicted jointly by the grand jury some time ago on charge of grand larceny as the result of an escapade in which they damaged the ear of Mrs. G. E. Lytle, used without the permission of the owner. The young men later paid fines for a misdemeanor and the felony charge was dismissed.
 Arrested Before.
 Crunk was taken into custody {. few days after the robbery by Con- stable Ben Brannon as the result of Deputy Constanble Pink Elmo having overheard Crunk or a com panion say on the night preceding the robbery that "I can put a brick III d IldC cIll SIldoIl CIldC WlIltVW so you couldn't hear it 20 feet away" A Pinkerton man, sent here by the insurance company insuring the jeweler, questioned Crunk, and concluded he was in- nocent. In deference to the de tective's judgment, MT. Brannor says, he released the boy.
 MT. Brannon said last night that once before he had Crunk ir custody, and released him out oi consideration for his mother anc at the plea of his victims. This was in connection with the disap pearance of a watch and $8 from the home of Walter Hammett, 170- East Fifth, on September 26. Al the time Crunk was employed as meter reader fo rthe Pine Bluff company. Suspicion pointed tt him, and when examined by tho

Former Soldiers Tell How Captain Beat Them Until They Confessed to
 Offenses They Had Not Committed

McAdams said he had signed ( confession about certain crime because he was in fear of his life, not only from the beating he said he had received, but by the appear ance of Captain Detzer and his men, "armed with guns and blackjacks."
 Samuel G. Roth, of Chicago, who once had been Detzer's desk ser geant, testified that he had seen Detzer violate his own order by striking two prisoners. He also testified that prisoners had been deprived of sleep and food.
 Thomas Gossett of Galvesto,, Texas, once a guard at the office of Captain Detzer, testified that he had never seen any prlsone s struck.
 Captain DetZer appeared before the court in uniform, wearing two gold service stripes. He is more than six feet tall and weighs 200 pounds. He appeared unmoved as the charges were read and 70 each of the 2S specifications enter ed a plea of not guilty.
 Sergeant Madden of Pittsburgh, once member of the Pennsy]- vania state constabulary, was not in court. He will be tried at the end of the present case. Sergeant Hoyt has not been arrested, and, according to the judge advocate, deserted in France.

0i Flnt i5lu}i rom Slfl'L iHtSl- pretation of the closing orders was made last night by II. C. Coach, fuel administrator, in q dis patch to The Graphic from Little Rock. The removal of restrictions was decided upon after a confer enec over long distance with the headquarters of the regional coal committee at St. Louis and with George Firmin, Little Rock. The order applies to all towns in the state which use natural gas.
 The change is due to the fact that Pine Bluff is user of gas and has no connection with the ending of the strike, it is believed
 The message from Mir. Couch stated:
 "All restrictions are removed as to closing hours where no coal IS used for heating. Gas and wood may be used but gas must be cut off at p. m. to conserve for res idences. Owing to the heavy de- mand for gas in residences, busi- ness houses will not turn on gas before g 9. m.
 "This applies to all businesses retail, wholesale and office build, ings except those exempted under 8 previous ruling, such as drug stores, hotels and restaurants.
 "All restrictions as to electric lights are removed where coal IS not used to manufacture the eur rent, when previous closing hours , p. m. until 9 a. m. are to be ob- served.
 Owing to the increased demand for gas for heat, consumers arc urged to obtain supply of wood to' fuel.
 "While the coal strike has beer called off it will be sometime be fore normal conditions exist, ant the failure of ti:e gas in the mean time will cause much suffering ant | inconvenience, as no coal IS avail able fer domestic use. Should an other blizzard or cold wave come it would be necessary to place re stricti0ns on consumers of gas The cooperation of the public vii be appreciated"
