BY THIEVES
Large Quantity of JeweIry Near
Nude Body.
Face Hacked by Slayers, Making
Identification Difficult.

Los Angeles, Dec. 13.-Police today
were searching for the murderer and
attempting to establish the identity of
a young woman whose nude and mu-
titlated body was found late yesterday
under the leaves and brush of a lonely
grove of eucalyptus trees short dis
lance beyond the end of street car
line.
The face was hacked beyond recog-
milton. A bloodstained suit case full
of women's clothes and large guam
ltity of jewelry were found today about
100 feet from where the body was dis
covered.
The woman, slender, DARK and 35
Years of age, apparently had been dead
several days.
Finding of the jewelry, which is said
to have included 1914 strings OF syn
tEetic pearls containing more than
10000 separate pearls, and "a sterling
silver bar pins, gave rise to the belief
that she may have been kille1 by a
band of thieves.
The isolated place where the body
was found is close to a spot which,
because of the many robberies there ia
the past few years, has been called
1.-The den of the forty thieves"
|. The body evidently was that of a
woman of refinement. Among articles
of jeWelry found in the bundle nearby
Iliants, seven gold plated bracelets, one
silver lavalIiere set with brilliants, and
a silver wrist watch. Some of the jew
elry had been purchased in Chicago.

market now for 5 Y per cent" Com
missioner WATSON said. "Altho the
bonds carry higher rate of interest
than any other bond issue Topeka has
had, they are offered for lower rate

TIRE TREAD DESIGN
IS VERY IMPORTANT
Has Much to Do With Ease Of
Steering a Car.
Especially So On Large Machines
Where Contact With Road Surface
10 1road-Two Styles Of Tires
Complicates Matters.

The tread design Of an automobile
tire may be a matter Of small conse-
quence to the driver Of small car,
but every driver Of heavy car knows
that the tread confguration has a
good deal to do with the ease with
which the car may be steered.
On the smaller cars the area Of the
tread that is in contact with the road
surface is so small that an improper
design may cause little trouble. But
when a heavy car settles down on its
tires, the driver finds himself called
on for the exercise of constant atten-
ton and effort to keep the car from
swerving off the road. If the tread de-
sign is improper type.
One point on which all motorists agree
is that the tires on the rear wheels
should be of a good non-skid pattern
and that the front tires should have a
tread design that will keep them run
ming ahead in a straight line with a
minimum of steering effort on the part
Of the driver.
The ideal tire tread Is one that can
be used with equally good results on
any wheel, either front or back. Given
such a tire a motorist need carry
only one spare, and his car is always
evenly balanced, no matter what tire
changes he makes. But if one style
tread is used on the front wheels and
another on the rear, the motorist will
usually carry two spares, one Of each
type. Having two types furnishes a
further complication when it is de-
sired to shift partly-worn tires from
the hardworking rear wheels to the
front wheels, in order to get few
thousand miles more wear out. of them
before they 60 to the scrap heap. The
non-skids used on the rear may not
be suited for front wheel purposes.
