LEAVES VETERINARY

Miss Lena Pallew, who was knocked down, robbed and left unconscious Thurs day night near the corner of Tenth ave- nue and Thirteenth street, south, had re- covered from the shock sufficiently to leave the infirmary for her home yester- day afternoon. For several hours after the robbery occurred the girl lay uncon- scious anc it was not until yesterday morning that attendants at the hospital were able to find out who she was.
 Miss Ballew. who is employed as stenograp pher by the Illinois Central Rail- road, said that she was returning to her rooms at S25 South Thirteenth street in the early part of the eeyning from having gone out to look for new rooming place. She heard some one walking be- hind her but thought nothing of it un- til she felt something hit her on the head. After taking a few steps more she lost consciousness and woke up sev- eral hours later in the hospital
 Her purse was found by her side with si0 missing. No arrests have been made vet

The Birmingham police nrc re- ceiving n large share of the blame for the daily robberies that are being practiced in this city. It is charged by mnny that they are not performing their duty. or 1t would be impossible for the high waymen to accomplish their work as they do.
 A report from William L. White who has been Investigating the cause states there are but sixty-six patrol men on the force at present. Witt these divided into three shifts. the cit! of Birmingham. with an area of 5. square miles and population o 17S,270. enjoys the protection of twen ty-two policemen. MT. Whites re port follows:
 s'In serving on the safety com- mittee of the Civic Association during the past ten days, and working out recommendations for some new traffic laws. we learned that Memphis, with IF square miles. has 24O policemen, Atlanta with P squnrc miles, has 256 policemen. and Birmingham with 52 square miles only S7 policemen. Out of. the S7 policemen on the local force nine are on traffic duty. ten are on motorcycles md one or two in the sanitary department, thus lcav- Ing 66 men, which if divided into three shifts, will give 22 men to ench shift to cover 52 square miles. or over two square miles of territory to be covered by one po- nceman.

winked at in Birmingham, Chief Shirley stated that it emphatically was not, but that it was very hard to place the blame Where it belonged, especially in cases where hotels or other large concerns may be involved, and where the root of the evil is very well covered up.
 In other words, though the apprehend- ing of the bootlegger may look to the public like straining at a gnat and we'll known cases of real traffic may look like swallowing a camel, they really are not it is just a question of an inability to place the evidence
 WORK OF DETECTIVES
 Chief of Detectives George J. Lyons stated that despite the criticisms result ing from the epidemic of highway roo- berries, his men are not discouraged and are working day and night to break up the crimes.
 Chief Lyon stated that in the round up on vagrants and suspicious characters, no less than seventy-six had been found with pistols on their persons. He calls attention to the fact that of the twenty five men in his department. only three are on the purity squad, the other twentytwo being engaged in criminal work. The report for the month, which will be made in a few days will show the work done by the detective depart ment.
 Birmingham is experiencing at pres ent wave of crime that has prevaile1 in most cities of her class since the war" stated Chief of Detectives George J. Lyons. "As much as we regret the epidemic of highway robberies that we are having, and the criticism we are get ting we are not in the least discouraged My men are working day and night, on duty, and on their own time, to break up these crimes, and we are going to do it.. I know the public is excited and impa- tient and I can't blame them. but our department is doing al lit is humanly pos sible to do, and l feel certain that we will get results before long"

An unidentified white man was found dead in vacant house yesterday after- noon about two miles from Trafford
 According to J. D. Russum. coroner elect, who is acting for John R. T. Rives. assistant coroner who went to the scene
 immediately upon notification. the man had been dead for two or three months. He was past identification and there was nothing on his person to assist in identi- flying him.
 The man was wearing overalls and was
 found by l.. A. Powell, resident of
 Trafford. He had been working in his corn field near the house and. wondering if anyone was using the shack, went over and looked in the windows. There he saw the dead man. The coroner office was notified and MT. Russur, went to Trafford. Officers are investl- gating the case.

 we know that the public is tired of the constant reports of crime that come in every day we realize that many peo- pie who live in out-of-the-way places do not feel safe but there are a number of reasons for the crime increase. For one thing, Birmingham is bigger than it was; for another, the class of men who are confirmed vagrants know how many men there are in the police department and they are naturally going to take ad- vantage of it.
 NEED MORE MEN
 What l think the people should do is give the officials an adequate police force with an enlarged force of plain clothes men with training. It would save them much in money, as well as mental anguish"
 Chief Shirley comes back always to the point that An idle brain is the devils workshop" which was said some centuries ago, and which seems to be holding good today.
 When asked when he was going to en- force the vagrancy law and stop the rob- berries which have been a daily occurrence for the past month, the chief stated that he will be able to accomplish more when he is given an adequate police force with which to work.
 People have the idea that the police force does not york; he went on, but they are entirely mistaken. There is not a buster set of men in Birmingham any, where, but their job is too big for them. The force has not enough man power to enforce the very good laws which exist in Birmingham.

Is THIS YOUR TYPE9
By MARIE La ROGUE
The Low Forehead
ght 1890. BY the Mcclure Newspap

: You may be told that your fore
head isn't part Of your face at all
that it's part Of your Uranium and
that, therefore. It's up to the phre-
nologist. rather than physignomist.
to tell you what the formation of IL
betokens. still there is hardly a
feature or part Of the face that
makes such q difference as far as
general expression and appearance
go. And there IL hardly feature
about which there has been such
wide difference OF opinion among
those who write or talk on the sub
ject OF beauty. To some the low
broad forehead Is the ideal. others
idealize the high, domelike brow.
while still others admire the round
ed forehead.
Now 1t isn't altogether the fore
head that makes the difference. The
way the hair grows has something
to do with 1t. To the average OBJ
server. however, this distinction is
not made and we call the woman
'high-foreheaded when the real fact
Is that her hair Is sparse or grows
high on her head, although as a
matter of fact the bony structure OF
her head many not be high at all.
The Greeks never seem to have
deviated from their ideal of a low
forehead. With them the brow was
actually low but moreover there
was always a thick, luxurious
growth Of hair about the temples
that added the appearance Of charm
ing vigor and virility to the Greek
figures. 1t was the hair of the
woman who never wore a hat;
whose only hair ornament was a
light veil or a simple fillet.
The Greek forehead was low and
broad. 1t is the forehead that you
see in the Venus de Milo. In spite
Of the popular opinion that persons
OF superior intellect always have
high foreheads you would have diff
ficulty in establishing this fact
The point seems to be that, other
things being favorable, the low
forehead, IL IL is not too narrow. is
quite compatible with high inteIlec-
tual development. Two men who
bear out this theory are Frederick
the Great and the poet John Keats.
As far as feminine fashions go.
foreheads change almost as much as
skirts. In one period the low fore
head is taken for granted when you
mention an ideally beautiful wom-
an. Novelists and poets pay tribute
to the low forehead and hairdressers
study so that they may make wom-
ems brows look low, and portrait
painters take an artistic license
with the head that is too domelike
to please their patrons. At present
the low forehead seems to be in the
ascendency. At any rate IL is the
exceptional woman who feels that

ing from the thought of the eve
ming when Stewart would come
home and she would learn her fate.
She lunched alone on a chop, a
salad, and a souffle. thinking long
ingly of the chatty little meals OF
such generous proportions which
she had shared with Anne and who
ever else had dropped in by chance.
BY three o'clock she was desper-
ate. Purely to pass the time, she
turned all her dresser drawers up
side down on the couch and began
to rearrange their contents. The
first thing she picked up was a little
envelope containing the many coll
ored tickets. She glanced through
them again idly.
There was a symphony concert
that afternoon at four. Delighted
at her discovery she sprang up and
hurried into an afternoon gown.
Margaret had selected it, a girlish
little model fashioned from violet
, velvet and a little velvet hat with
a dropping brim. Doris fiuffed her
fair hair around her pink cheeks
and surveyed herself with delighted
eyes. On the way to the theater
she stopped to purchase a cluster of
fresh yiolets. and feeling very chic
and distinctly highbrow. she tripped
into the auditorium.
The usher showed her to a seat
on the aisle well down toward the
stage: Margaret's seat beside her
was vacant, but occupying the ad-
joining two were Harvey Gatewood
! and a young woman whose SINH
larity OF features proclaimed her
to be his sister.
Doris returned his bow uncer-
tainly. A swift flush crept up under
the violet hat brim; surely she
couldn't be blamed for this chance
proximity. she thought.
Behind her she heard a delighted
igiggle.

irepressible. I'll say the box office

Doris spent a happy weekend
with Anne Fullerton. There was
something happening every moment
and an extraordinarily small space
for II to happen in. The apartment
was crowded with a heterogeneous
collection of what seemed to Doris
odds and ends, but each a perfect
expression of exquisite taste. Miss
Fullerton exhibited no sense OF
reverence, she would hang a Corot
landscape below a framed litho-
graph il il suited her Iancy, and she
had set a bronze Buddha OF New
Jersey manufacture on an exquisite
altar cloth brought from Rome.
The telephone rang incessantly. in
Anne's apartment, and the knocker
on her door announced an almost con-
tinuous stream of letters, kilograms
and packages. Some one was al
ways calling, it seemed to Doris,
and no chance visitor ever went
away without partaking of some re-
treatment Before lunch. sherry
and biscuit were offered. Tea con-
tinued all afternoon: and hot choco-
late with whipped cream and dainty
slices OF chicken breast formed the
basis of a late supper.
II like to think I'm all intellect,
Doris" Anne explained with sigh.
but 1 fear I'm all tummy."
BY contrast tofAnne's colorful home,
Twin Oaks seemed to Doris like a
great metropolitan hotel with its arti-
ficially hushed corridors and its air OF
perfect composure. She would have
liked a home like Anne's; it reminded
her vividly of her own. where the per-
sistent disarray seemed to give an at
mosphere at once cosy and livable.
But she knew that the house Stewart
was planning for her must be a dupli-
cate of the Durand menage and the
sense Of depression 1t always aroused
in her was intensified as the taxi de-
posted her under the porte cochere of
Twin Oaks"
The maid opened the door and in
formed her that no member OF the
family was at home.
Doris went up to her rooms with
a sense of having been away a very
long time. 1t had been her first abb
sence fromVher husband since her
marriage and she felt that all man
ner of changes must have occurred.
With a feeling of surprise she noted
that everything was the same. Car
rington's shaving OUTFIT occupied the
Identical shelf in the bath: her bou-
doir slippers, still nodded to the
imprint of her foot, lay on the floor
of the closet where she had care
lessly tossed them. She took fold
of Stewards bathrobe between her
fingers and held it carlessly to her
cheek.
"Oh, dear, I hope he will have
forgotten to be angry. after all this
time" she sighed.
Fear of the impending interview
made her restless. She roamed
about the house and garden, shrink
