Big Merchants Have
New Method To Trap
Holiday ShopIifter

| up in a Limousine, and they follow
her into the store. After two OF
three trials they will obtain the
number of good charge amount,
and their crooked work is half ac-
complished.
New Dresses Help Thieves.
I'VE seldom catch women, how
ever. And these new style dress
es, with full sleeves, help them get
away with goods. 1t is compare
lively easy for them to leanson a
counter, discussing price with a
salesgirl, while at the same time
they are slipping an article into
these big full sleeves. When we
do catch woman she is inyaria-
Dly greatly indignant that she
should be suspected of shoplifting
and she threatens to sue us-and
all sorts of things. But we turn
her over to the store matron and
II we are lucky she will be found
TO have attempted to get away
with articles ranging from ribbons
and silks to jewelrys and fancy
goods.
But this season we are going
TO catch more shoplifters than ever
before, as we have developed al
method of detection that is new
ad unknown to the shoplifters
Ihls method will be particularly
eIective In catching women, and
II 1t works with women we can be
sure 1t will just about kill off the
nefarious business for good. II
cant tell you what this new sys-
tenn is, but If you watch the police
records this season you will see
whether 1t is or is not effective"

Divorce Kept Her
Maiden Name Hour

Reno, New, Dec. 10.-When
Nathan Bentz, aged 65, went to
the county clerks's office recently
with Winifred Roberts, aged 81,
to secure marriage license his
soon-to-be bride was compelled to
shout in his ear SO that he could
understand what was expected of
him in the way of responses, fees
and signature.
Mr. Bentz gave his residence as
Santa Barbara, Cal, and told
County CLERK E. H. Beemer that
his divorce cost him 100000. The
divorce was at Santa Barbara Feb
ruary 4, 1916, Mr.. Bentz alleging
that his wife had deserted him.
Until about an hour before Sc
curing the license Miss Roberts
name was Mrs. Winifred Wander
leach. She was divorced in district
court, upstairs from the clerks Of
flee, on the grounds of extreme
cruelty on the part of her husband,
who was served in Shanghai, Chi
ma, with the necessary papers. She
gave her address as Reno in Sc
curing the license.
Her divorce was not contested,
and the court granted her petition
for the restoration of her maiden
name, which she kept just long
enough to get the license and find
a minister-about an hour.

Chicago, Dec. 10.--Love and
marriage cannot be determined by
dollars per week, according to CO.
eds at the University of Chicago
and at Northwestern University.
While they agree that love has
not much of a chance and matri-
mony is likely to be failure on
less than from $50 to SIS a week
these days, they are almost unani-
nous in the view that when the
right Prince Charming comes
along he is usually accepted "for
better for worse" without any
undue emphasis put upon the size
of his pay check,
"Money won't count at all when
the ideal man comes along,p said
Miss Elizabeth Sholle, University
of Chicago coed. But isn't 1t
funny-there aren t as many ideal
young men as there used to be?"
Miss Helen Ahlstrom, senior and
coed editor at Northwestern Uni
versity, said if she insisted on her
future husband earning $50 a
week, SIS week, 500 week or
any set amount, she "might never
get married at ALL"
when the right man comes
along, she said, I'VE won't worry
about the money part of the bar
gain. We IL get along somehow"
$3.50 Month Needed.

Happy Marriages
Not Dependent ON
Money Co-eds Say

/ who has had a wealth of expert
ence in "back o. the yards" char
ity work, said young man really
should earn $3.50 a month to ven
ture into matrimony.
"'But there are exceptions, mark
you!" she added.
Salary doesn't count nearly SO
much as team work, according to
Miss Jane Donahue, freshman, who
said it all depends upon the man
and the girl. They may have an
income of $1,000 week and still
not be happy, or they may have to
get along on $50 a week and still
make marriage "go."
Miss Virginia Kendall, Wyyern
Club, said $50 a week was enough;
two could live modestly, on that
sum.
"Yes," added Miss Adelaide
Scanlan, fifty dollars week is
enough-but his father should be
well fixed"
The lowest estimate of what two
could live on and be happy was,
made by Miss Evelyn Carlson,
freshman who thought $35 week
would do.' A referendum of 10
other co-eds disclosed estimates
yarying from $50 a week to S350I
a week, and with one girl-and
exceedingly pretty, asserting
she wouldn't marry any man no
matter what his salary.

Youth SaUes
Children By
Killing Bear

Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 10.-Fight-
ing to save his own life and the
lives of several younger brothers
and sisters, George Haught, IA
year-old son of an Arizona back
woodsman living in the heart of
the Mogollon mountains, with one
shot of .22 caliber rifle killed
an SO0-pound silver tip bear that
had attacked the children on
narrow mountain trail.
Reports of the youth s bravery
Nnd his dead-shot accuracy were
received here from members of a
Dc luxe hunting party, which, out
fitted at cost OF $4,000 and
composed of southern business
men, penetrated the heart of the
Arizona big game country several
weeks ago to hunt and take mo-
tion pictures OF bear, deer and
mountain lions in their native
state.
The bear confronted the child
rem as they rounded turn in the
trail on the way home from school.
Flight, the elder boy saw was i'm
possible as the younger children
would soon be overtaken II the
bear attacked and the dim light of
approaching night made the trail
unsafe for rapid progress.
Leveling his rife. and aware that
to wound and not to kill would
mean death from the infuriated
beast, the big brother fired with
! deadly accuracy.
Struck in a vital spot, the silver
iip collapsed in the traiL dying
instantly.

By Leo 7. Heatley.

New York, Dec. 10--Shop1ifteri
are already making the rounds o.
the big department stores here ii
order to get "the lay of the land
in preparation for the annual har'
vest reaped by the light-fingered
gentry during the shopping rush
of the holiday season.
Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of articles are lost an
nually in this city to shoplifters
Of both sexes, despite the fact botE
men and women detectives keep a
keen lookout to prevent the depre-
dation OF these crooks. Ingenious
methods Of the best private detec-
tive agencies in the city which
we're called in to aid in appre-
hending shoplifters have failed to
materially reduce the huge amount
Of loot that annually disappears
from the big stores. For each trap
set to enmesh them the wits Of
these clever thieves contrive a way
to circumvent the sleuths.
Holidays Crooks Harvest Time.
Throughout the year there is
considerable amount of shoplifting
practiced here, but the golden
garnering for these clever law
eyaders comes with the Christmas
shopping days, when purchasers
crowd the big stores, and they can
operate under cover Of a crush OF
women buyers. Throngs Of shop
pers in the aisles also enable PICK
pockets to operate successfully,
and hundreds of women find upon
leaving big store that the roll OF
bills their pocketbooks contained
upon entering the store has mys-
teriously disappeared.
.DThey are wise bunch, and
they put 1t over on US no matter
how hard we watch them, ex-
plained the store detective in one
prominent establishment Lots
pf times we find they have con-
Rederate working in the store who
helps them get away with stuff.
But most of them don't need to
do this, as they are 'ully capable
of picking up articles under the
very eyes Of our sales-people with
)it attractive attention.
Women Fast Workers.
"Most OF the professional shop
lifters are women, and they are
tbe hardest to catch in the act.
Three-fourths of the arrests made
for shoplifting are Of men. And
vet we know that the costly arti-
cles are all taken by women, but 1t
IA difficult to get them with the
goods. Women are quicker with
their hands than men, and this
partly explains their ability to
steal the smaller articles. But
they also get away with heavy
winter coats, furs, gowns and
dresses,
"One OF the schemes operated by
these crooks Is to obtain the num-
ber of the charge account Of one
Of our wealthy customers. They
select some articles and give the :
salesgirl the number of this ac-
count, telling her to send the
goods home. But after the trans
action is concluded they change
their mind and decide that they
will carry the goods, which are
wrapped up and given to them
suspicion, as the numbers
of charge accounts are kept very
and are only known to the
most reliable sales people,
"They obtain the numbers of
.hese accounts by various means.
Of course. the easiest way is to
have a confederate working In the
store who will pass the number Of
he account on to them. but most
II these crooks are selfish and
ion't want to 'divvy' their spoils
With partner. So they wait out
ide the store until they see a
acknowledgement woman drive

PauIist Mission at St. Andrews

Father O'Reilly announces the
opening of a mission by Rev. Hand
ly, Paulist missionary, Chicago, at
st. Andrews church, this city, next
Sunday, May 8. The mission will
continue for two weeks, closing Sum
day, May %. Father O'Reilly says
"The Paulist Society was formed
many years ago, by converts to the
Catholic faith for the chief reason
to explain the Catholic religion and
the dogmas Of its faith to the Amer
fcan people generally. The public
is most cordially invited to attend
each and all Of the exercises Of the
mission, due announcements Of
which will be made each day.
"a question box will. be used
throughout the missions, and any
question in regard to the Catholic re-
ligion or any of its tenets may be
asked. and 1t will be answered by the
the following evening.
Ask what question you win and
you shall be answered. Don't forget
the Paulist mission but remember
whoever you are to see to 1t that you
attend. 1t. win do you good" ~

NO COUNTY FAIR THIS YEAR
Obsequies of Plan Held at Business
Mems Meeting

There will be no county fair for
Dickinson county this year. The
fair directors after canvassing the
situation made report through c.
A. Case at the business mems
lunch recommending that the pro-
ject be abandoned. Considerable
work has been done toward the fair
but according to the directors it Is
impossible to furnish attractions
within the means available. Mr..
Case stated that last year the asso-
citation had $505 on hand and the
merchants added $4,000 more. The
concessions with the carnival com
pany paid in 1924. This, with the
admissions at the quarter stretch,
etc, enabled the fair to pay out,
leaving only $2.69 in the treasury.
The enforcement Of the law against
concessions means that no carnival
will come and to pay out
with as good fair as last year will
mean raising $4,000. This, he said,
the merchants they have interview
ed are not willing to do and they
the abandonment of
the fair. The report was adopted
and the fair is dead.

LAW PERMITS COOP BANKS
Nebraska Expects New Plan to Be
Successful
ASSOCIATED Press)

Lincoln, Neb., May 3.-The Ne
braska legislature has passed a bill
intended to permit farmers and
others, to organize cooperative
banks I'm the state.
As originally introduced in the
lower house, the measure had the
support Of many farm organizations
in the state. This support, however,
waned by the time the bill came up
in the house for final action. It had
been shorn of what were believed
its desirable features. The bill
passed the house and was unani-
mousy endorsed by the senate. The
senate took even more interest in the
bill by passing corrective measures
Of benefit to the new cooperative
banking law.
Since the bill has become a law,
farm leaders are viewing Il with re-
newed interest and believe that
many Of fits features win be practi-
cal.

OLD BELIEVERS TO RESCUE
Aid Refugees of Their Faith From
Bolshevist Russia

Constantinople, May 3.-Just as
the Mennonites of the United States
have furnished unexpected help to
those of South Russia, so the old
believers, who centuries ago fed
from religious persecution in Rus
STA and found refuge in Turkey, are
now aiding the members Of their
faith who were among the hundred
thousand refugees from the Crimea.
When II became a question Of
finding homes for HIS great army Of
fugitives from Bolshevik Russia, a
committee appeared at the refugee
headquarters OF the Russian en-
bassy, speaking the Russian lam
guage Of $50 years ago. and an
nounced that It represented q group
of villages Of old believers, located
near Panderma, on the Marmora Sea,
and would take care OF as many as
possible Of their faith.
