SLOGAN BECOMES TRUE

Watch US. make money disappear
was the declaration of two gypsies de
,lu1ess,mennbers Of a band travelling
.acf6asSs.the country in large touring
cars, as they stopped their automo-
bile at a street corner here to give
their mysterious performance.
Becoming somewhat interested in
the impassioned oratory on the-van-
ishing Of specie, two men standing
nearby submitted to the weird exhi-
bitfon. The result was that the
gypsies' -slogan,became a fact, and the
audience of two found that all the
wealth on their person had separated
from them.
The police were notified and the
leaders Of the gypsy tribe were hailed
into. municipal court, where fines were
imposed upon them. The Judge also
ordered them to leave the city.
One of the money svanishers was
said to have been queen" Anne Res
tig, who headed the band with her
husband, King, Leo Eli.
Local authorities were surprised at
the mode of travel used by the gyp-
sizes. Instead of the old fashioned
canvass-covered wagons. the bands
travelled in large touring automobiles.
