LABORATORY ROBBED
OF $1,000 IN DRUGS
Thieves Make Third Visit to
Place Of Manufacturing
Chemist in Two Months
BELIEVED TO BE ADDICTS

When the laboratory Of William II.
Rorer, manufacturing chemist, at 267
South Fourth street. was opened today
it was found that burglars, apparently
driven to crime by craving for drugs,
had made a third descent upon the place
in two months and carried off cocaine
and other drugs valued at $500.
The drugs were kept in a vault on
the second floor and into this the bur-
glars forced their way by tearing open
a hole in the brick wall.
The home of Congressman j. Hamp-
ton Moore adjoins the building. st.
street.
There have also been three robbcrics
in the hosiery factory of NJ. II. Caster,
at 265 South Fourth street, which is
next door to the laboratory.
Mr.. Casten was loud today in his
complaint against inadequate police pro
lection.
"Some day l will come down to my
place and find that the building has
been carried off" he said. II will have
to look for it in pawn shop"
Mr.. Casten added that he and other
business men intended to complain to
Director Of Public Safety Wilson.
How the burglars got into the build
ing is not known. Two theories We're
advanced after the police found that
none of the windows or doors had been
forced open. One explanation was that
they concealed themselves in the build
ing before it was closed Saturday night.
Another was that the robbers entered
by way of a trap door of the roof,
which had been left unfastened.
tThe thieves made no effort to break
open the door of the vault in the rear
of the second floor. Instead, they tore
enough bricks in the wall to make a
hole large enough for them to crawl
through. Then they entered the vault
and helped themselves.
They had plenty Of time to complete
the robbery, as the place was closed
from Saturday night until this morn
ing.

lures until the lambs are sold.
How do sheep become infested by
stomach worms?
The stomach worm lays its eggs in
the stomach OF the sheep. They are
passed out with the feces and hatch
on the ground. In the last larval OF
infectious stage. the young worms
climb up on grass blades and are taken
into the stomach OF the sheep and
lambs with their food. They will live
for long time In the pasture. For
all practical purposes IL may be con
