TIE big rcbberies of jewelry In the
south Of France recently are re-
minder of the ubIquity of the modern
criminal. The thieves may have been
local men. but the probability is that
they were importations from England
or Australia or the United States.
Criminals engaged in the big push"
are much-traTeled men. The whole
world is their hunting ground A few
thousand miles are Of little moment
with thousands Of dollars as the uld-
mate goal.
Expert Jewel thieves. confidence
tricksters. card sharpers. opponents Of

al one time or another make tours
Of the world, If necessary, in order
to pick up wealthy victims and by
skillful nursing lull them into belief
that dishonesty is a silly rumor in
stead OF an irrefragable fact.
1t does seem strange to the millions
of people who carefully guard their
pennies that men are lobe found who
will hand over thousands OF dollars to
comparative strangers only to find
when too late that they have been
swindled.
A fool and his money, we are told
soon part; yet, as matter of fact,
1t is the man who regards himself as
shrewd and careful who is most sought
after by these ingenious intrlguers.
The fool IS apt 70 be too suspicious;
and. anyway. he has not much money.

GUARD DIGNITY OF PRESIDENT
Washington Theatrical Managers Are
Not Allowed to Advertise His At
tendance In Their Playtouses.

There Is a code of etiquette govern
ing relations between the executive
mansion at Washington and the play
house. Point No. / in the code pro-
vides that no manager, either of the
theater or of the visiting attraction.
shall angle for Presidential patronage.
When company arrives at the theater
Its manager is handed a card which
impresses this upon him, and crushes
all hopes OF using his pet projects for
Turing the President TO confer indorse-
ment upon his offering.
Another point is that box is re-
served In every theater in Washing
ton every day until noon for the Pres
ident. BY that hour the White House
Is supposed to have notified the theater
that the President will attend that eve
ming. Reservations may be made
earlier. of course, but In no event may
the house or company manager make
use of paragraph in the newspapers
announcing that the President will at
tend on such and such an evening
The audience Is always on the alert
TO rise when the Presidential party
enters. and remains standing at the
conclusion of the performance until
the White House contingent makes its
exit. No Presidential party was ever
known TO keep curtain down for a
minute through tardy appearance.

ODD DEVICES FOR PATENTS
curiosities That Have Been Accorded
Place In the Archives Of Great
London Office.

Some recent curiosities patented In
England are described by the Illus
trated London News. There are two
head-washing caps. one OF which is
an inverted metal bowl with rubber
E'pg that fits IL tightly to the head and
sDigot by which II may be attached
10 a rubber tube; the other is a
helmet-like device with an inlet for
water at the top and an outlet back
on the neck.
Others are an automobile for use on
land or water. Ii has a propeller and
detachable hull, while the fore
wheels are encased and act as rud-
der.
Then there is railway train fitted
with a conduit passing from the
smokestack over the roofs of the cars
TO the rear Of the train, through
which smoke. vapor and cinders are
conveyed.
For bathing the face there is a basin
with a recessed end for supporting the
neck, and a detachable tube through
which the bather may breathe while
soaking her complexion In the water.
A protective garment for motorists
and others is made of a double fabric
containing shock absorbers. in the
form of hollow rubber balls.
Another ingenious person patents

IN THOSE GOOD OLD TIMEsI
One VIII No Longer Wonder Why Our
Forefathers Gladly Entered Into

] have lately been shown (writes q
correspondent Of the Manchester
Guardian) the first account book OF
couple who set up housekeeping near
~ fifty years ago. Many Of the en-
tries are interesting reading now. and
certain items especially are warranted
TO make the modern housekeeper's
mouth water. The first servants
wages for instance. were IS ($40) a

undeEstand. who did all the washing,
plain cooking and evidently had none
of her successors objection TO chill
dren. for in due course she added to
her duties that OF pushing the baby
carriage out every afternoon. 1t is
worthy Of note that the bedroom for
this treasure was furnished entirely
at cost of f. los lS12.50). Food
prices. unfortunately. cannot be read
