stick them up" commanded the
pirates.
From one machine to another went
the pirate crew. None of the autoists
offered resistance. They appeared re-
lieved that the visitors were pirates
rather than inquisitive police.
The pirates were TALL slender blond
and young. Two of them removed
the handkerchiefs from their faces to
get better glimpse at the girls.
Perhaps the police never would have
heard of the affair had the pirates not
held up the car of Jack Wolf, head of
an automobile storage battery concern
at S37 e, Forty-seventh st. Wolf
lost 500 and his desire to cool off. He
reported the affair to the police With
Wolf, according to the police were
Mrs. Hazel Van Peener, 1856 Maryland
avenue and Miss Lottie Harvey, who
rooms with her. Mrs. Van Peener,
who runs a candy shop said she was
robbed of $50.
Members of the Wolf party said
they saw the pirates visit at least six
other cars, so they knew that others
had been robbed. Yet none of these
reported to the police. The other man
in the Wolf party did not appear at
the police station.

The Lame Girl and the Faith Healer

n ENVER.-Mary Kinny, beautiful,
- lame, wants to be healed, but the
miracle woman" Mrs. Aimee Semple
Mcpherson, cannot pray for her be-
cause Mary is ambitious to dance.
Born lame, Mary, who is a cashier
in a downtown drug store, was left
an orphan three years ago and now
lives alone in Denver hotel. Her
i two sisters are busy in other cities,
winning fortunes on the stage. Mary
would give worlds to join them; she
is fond of music, and just crazy to
dance
Since the first Denver case of
cripple who claimed to have been
cured by the prayers of Mrs. Nc
.Fhhr$rn became known, Mary has
been one of the vast crowd that filed
the municipal auditorium.
It's awful to think" she said. you
see, it's this way: Mrs. Mcpherson
says that the persons who come to her
to be cured by faith must tear up the
jazz music, must give themselves up
to life with Christ. must study the
Bible. must do anything but go on the
stage. But you see why | want to be
cured | want to go on the stage
But what if I We're to be cured by
the prayers of Mrs. Mcpherson?

Some people in Massachusetts, have
evidently allowed sentiment to get the
better of Judgment and have planted the
bright red poppies that grew on Flanders
Fields. Now our commissioner of agri-
culture has issued warning against them
and urges that no more planus or seeds be
brought into the State as their planting
may result in tremendous agricultural
loss. The Flanders poppy spreads very
rapidly, the seeds being carried consider
able distance by the winds. Many times
in the past imported plants have proved
pests, so sentiment just now should be
thrown away.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Those who clamor for government
ownership overlook some very important
facts; one in particular, it is that with all
privately owned business there is the
constant desire to develop some new
feature, or machine, or method by which
business may be improved, increased or
simplified, and greater profit insured.
With the government it is entirely differ
ent. The struggle there is to hold office,
to increase the political pull. Progress,
which is written big over all private en-
terprises, ceases when one approaches
government owned lines. Here is some-
thing to consider when talk is made about
taking over the. railroads or any other
line of business. It would seem as though

Why We Say "She''

The discussion being on why we refer
to an automobile as ''she," one man said
it was because when a car is slicked up
and attractive we all admire her; when
she acts properly she is charming; yet
we often drive her into improper action
by lack OF care, and when she gets old
and has lost her style we try to discard
her and get more pleasing one.-Boston

Downey's Title Claim
Is Being Sidetracked

Jimmy Dunn, the Cleveland ring i'm
presaro, is bombarding the more or
less effete East with lurid letterheads
proclaiming that his boy, Bryan
Downey, really is the welterweight
champion of the world, regardless of
the smokers and outlaws that this
statement unfailingly arouses. Dunn
reiterates that on July 27 last his boy
Bryan not only won the title once, but
won it three times, by putting Johnny
Wilson away that many times in
single round. On that occasion Jimmy
Gardner, Wilson's referee, got tongue
tied and couldn't count ten, so the
palpitant world was left in doubt as to
who really was the champion.
Dunn complains that sporting writ
ers Throughout the East" have ques-
toned Downey's claim to the title. In
this particular section of the East it
would seem that if Downey wants to
admit that ne is champion Of the
moth-eaten welterweight division no.
