One. Plays, Dances, Sews.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Rosa Cohen
was born blind, but she led her class
OF thirty-hve boys and girls, graduated
on Thursday from the public school
in Brooklyn She is the first blind girl
known to have been graduated from
the public schools, and SO impressive
was her standing and a piano recital
which she gave that residents OF Bay
Ridge have started a movement to
provide her with a musical education.
Rosa is IA years old. Since she was
a baby she has been an inmate of the
Sunshine home for the blind. Like 9th
er blind children she was about two
wears behind the normal age in leav-
ing kindergarten and entering gram
mar school, but proved so proficient
that she easily caught up with the
others, skipped grade and reached
the top of her class.
Her marks i'll mathematics and ev-
cry other subject except English were
100 per cent, and in English she got
90. She has composed simple pieces

BOSS BANDIT BACK
OF POSTAL THEFTS
BLAMES INCREASE
IN ROBBERIES TO NATION
WIDE ORGANIZATION.

WASHINGTON, D. ca boss
bandit is directing systematical rob-
berries of postoffices and mail trains
throughout the United States, Chief
Postal Inspector George M. Sutton
let it be known on Saturday night
Evidence collected and in hand
soon will result in breaking up a
nation-w wide organization OF postot1ce
burglars and other criminals who are
planning burglaries at many points,
said Sutton.
Sutton's special force OF ABS men
now is spread at strategic points
throughout the country where the IN
dividual members are ready at a mo-
ment's notice to jump into the chase
when a hot trail is developed.
I'm confident we shall soon lay
our hands on the bandits who robbed
the Toledo postofhce wagon few
nights ago." he said.
Robbers Get 100000.
These robbers are reported to have
obtained $1,000,000 in cash and secur-
tiles.
MANY arrests and convictions have
been secured" said Mr. Sutton, and
large sums of money and quantities
of bonds have been recovered from
thieves. The number of arrests last
wear was 3,145, of which 1917 were OF
persons outside the service. There
were SIS burglaries of postoffices."
Apprehension and conviction OF per-
sons outside the service who engage
in robberies of mails is very much
more difficult than is catching en-
ployes who go wrong, it was explain
ed.
Tremendous Theft Increase.
THE number OF robberies of mails
is very much greater this year than
last" said Sutton This tremendous
increase is not, however, to be found
in the postal robberies alone. For ev-
ery bank robbed last year there have
been five similar ones this year"
A special lock for mail pouches now
is being experimental with. Erection
of three new government postottlce
buildings in New York, as recon-
mended by Postmaster General Bur
Lesson, would tend to reduce the posi-
bilitv Of robberies, it was pointed out.
Burleson advised that the government
connect the buildings by a tunnel IS
by 8 feet through which the mail
would be carried, eliminating all pos
sibility of the holdup OF postottlce
wagons in downtown New York.
During 1920 the losses OF the post
office department totaled nearly 81
100000 as a result of robberies, fires
and accidents to the mails and post
Offices, according to records now avail
able.
