ed with Harry Natchez three days
ago weakened and told of the bur-
glary of the two tailor shops on
Brady street entered four weeks
ago, when score or more suits
and as many bolts Of wooden cloth
were taken. Neuman maintained a
! steady confident front during all of
the inquiries until yesterday after
noon when his nerve broke, and
he told his tale of the burglary of
the two shops, duplicating Natchez
and another man, who has not been

According to Neuman, he was
driving the automobile on the
! night of the robbery and had no
part in entering either of the two
shops. He said he waited in the
car outside while Natchez and an.
other man forced their way into
the stores and filled the car with

Winchester. Va, April 3.-When
a tenderfoot from the North thinks
of Winchester of course he asso-
ciates it with the battle of Winches-
ter, of the civil war, or recalls the
story '(often called a myth" by
Southerners) that it was from the
great white-piIlored brick building,
across from the Handley Library,
that Sheridan began his famous ride
to the battle twenty miles away"
But Winchester today is not liv-
ing on it's past.
The Winchester pride of today,
aside from its being the market for
the greatest apple region in the
world, lies in the fact that it's popu-
lation is 80 per cent American-born,
81 per cent of it's white population
being native Virgfnians and Al per
cent natives of Winchester. 1t has
q colored population of 405, of
whom As per cent were born in
winchester, 29 per cent in other
parts of Frederick County. IL per
cent in other parts of Virginia, and
only one foreign negro"
AlI-American City.
But that is not all OF Winchester's s
pride. 1t is rich in its favors from
its millionaire friends, and as re-
suit of benefactions 1t is unique
among the small cities Of America.
Its great financial problem today Is
how to invest a bequest of $780,
900, plus accommodating interest.

ley Library. The library was opened
in 1918, and now has $4,000 vol
umes. 1t is one of only a dozen free
libraries in Virginia, and, although
prior to it's opening the public had
had no access to any library. the
people have so acquired the library
habit that one-ninth of the total
population enters it's doors every
week. The library building Is eX-
tremely ornate. '..-

In the meanwhile. the trustees

survey that Winchester has been

mo woman is as charming to
her husband as she is to other men!"
This is the statement OF Irene
Bordoni. starring with Sam Bernard
in "As You were." in New York.
She was talking about charm
why French women are so charming.
One reason she believed American
girls are not as charming as the
French is that they grow up in SO
much closer companionship with
boys than do the French girls. Her
first statement is in the nature Of
an analogy.
Something Unusual.
American girls play tag with
boys when they are young; they
go to school with them; they work
with them.
The French girls attitude toward
men is entirely different. She sees
them comparatively seldom. A man
is something unusual in her life;
when she meets one she exerts her
self to please him-and the result
is that the French girl is what you
call charming"
Another angle OF the question of
charm is the influence of beauty.
why are French women so
charmingT repeats Miss Bordoni.
81 am tempted to say, because they
are not so beautiful as American
women and must make up for 1t
somehow"
Three things that go to make up
charm. she explains. are courtesy.
good breeding and tact. French
girls are trained from their earliest
days at school always to, be cour-
teouS.
Must BE At Ease.
Charm is partly a matter of de-
string to please. But don't let others
see that you are trying. You must
