EAUTY IS NOT AN ASSET NOR IS LOVE
 ALWAYS HAPPINESS, GIRL BANDIT SOBS
"I Know I Am Beautiful, But I Was Hungry and My Love for Him Drove Me to Robbery" 17-Year- Old Girl Confesses.
{By International News sevice.)

New York, May 10-Heart hunger and bodily hunger in a young girl who cursed her beauty have brought seventeen-yearold Katherine Zober-
 Tears filled the deep brown eyes, and found their way down the pale cheeks of the slender, trembling girl cheeks soft and cool as Winter roses The paIest pink ffecked, the almost pure white of her young face. There was no subtle play of light in her dark eyes, nothing in her fair features to betoken evil, nothing in her voice that betrayed the siren. Is is any wonder the guardians of the Tombs have characterized her ''the most beautiful girl, the most innocent appearing that ever was confined in this prison? ?''
 In her rich. dremulous, ch1ld-lfke voice she told the story of her love for the man who brought her into such early contact with the life of the underworld.
 T love, but it does not make me happy I know I am bea autiful-men have told me since I was fourteen. I had rather be ugly I am here be- cause my love for Michael was so great I could not refuse to do any thing he asked me He asked me so help him rob people. I do not want to be bad. But I love Mich ael. He told me to do it I would have done anything he asked. think he loved my beauty. I wanted him 10 love me Tor myself PernapS ne d:d and I did not understand It seems that almost anyone can touch my heart and make me want to help or please them."
 The sweetheart for whom Rather inc vows her love is Michael J. Eg1e, who was arrested a few days before Katherine was found by the police. The police say Michael divulged to them the whereabouts of Katherine without much pressure from them. Katherine refuses to believe Michael .-'Save her away" She was found in a Brooklyn house, where shes said she and Michael had been living for three months.
 Hunger Led to Robbery.
 Katherine Zoberlein, the innocent appea ring, is charged by the police with robbery. She is referred to at headauarters as ''the girl bandit" She Ss accused of having 1IIred Simon Oar wo into q doorway, where he was ac- costed a minute later by Michael and robbed. we wanted 1ood, hdLI- erine gave as her reason for the al- legged robbery.

CHAPTER MxxIv.

CHAPTER CSIXNIV.
 Which of us thought of it first. l don't know. I'm not sure whRther or not Jim had it in mind when he said, I-There are ways of circumventing Virginia
 But when saw how Mrs. Varden's sneers were adding to Virginia's pre- judice against Neal, those words of Jirn's came back to me and gave me what I felt was an inspiration.
 If I had put bt away in the back of my brain for awhile, and had taken it out when I was all alone and would have weighed it and found it wanting. But I didn't weigh it.
 When we got home from our eve ming on the roof with Carl Booth and Daisy Condon, Jim was in a jumpy, irritable mood nearly approaching suddenly too tired and dejected to get any fun out of his jealousy Of Carl Booth. I didn't want to discuss it. So I haubsd "The Idea" out and offered without weighing it, because Mrs. Varden's cattineSS and Jim's quarrel with Virginia and my own indeScriba- bly feelings due to coming again in touch with my old world, had made my brain whirl like carousel.
 tJimi" began abruptly. "Just what did you mean the other evening when you said that thene are ways of circumventing Virginia?"
 .tI don't remember saying just that, Anne. Whats the big idea?"
 ''I thought you had-the idea, l replied, smiling guilefessly.

 shell never consent to PhOebe's marrying Neal" I said smoothly.
 'I've told you that, haven't I? Why do YOU want to tsart treating it as a great discovery now? Did she say anything in the dressing-room? Gel your goat by .snubbing that held daisy of yours?'' asked Jim whiriing around to smile at me knowingly.
 .sNo. She merely took me fol granted with the same Harrison SC renity and superiority you're showlnE now. Seeming to indicate that couldn't possibly have any viewpoint but her own. And it struck me-
 I heaitated, and Jim said sarsacd' cally:
 "A lot of things have struck vol today. Your old interest in Booth
 I interrupted in turn, whirling into the heart of things and well beyond Carl Booth
 What struck me -as t41is-if Vir ginia will neUer consent to letting come true, why shouldn't We jus take matters in hand without Nir sinia? Maybe you've never really meant to dsefy her. But I'm sure Neal has. And Phoebe too, I fancy Jim. why shouldn't they elope ?''
 "E1ope ?'', repeated Jim colorlessly ''Elope!" he repeated distastefuhy.
 '"Well wasn't that your idea all a1ong-when you said there were ways of circumventinS Virginia ?" demanded, annoyed at the implied criticism in Jim's tone.
 'cNot exactly said Jim, staring al me.
 I couldn't interpret his long, slow gaze It might be that had offended the aristocratic Harrison yiewp oint. It might be that I had offered Jim the solution most pleasing to his gam bling nature. I wouldn't admit that I had merely startled him with a new idea. For felt that off in a remote corner of his mind, he had been wa

 ''We had nothing to eat that day, and but one meal a day for two weeks almost. Michael had no work
 ''I told him I was hungry and he said we would find some man who would follow me and then get his money. We had a little glass pistol that was once full of dandy, but we filled it with ink to 'make it look real.

 HEALTH, FASHION AND SHOES
 Women, states Dr. A. L. Robinson, have always sacrificed health and comfort for Dame Fashion. Men have also but not to the same extent This does not indicate that men are more sensible. Occupation is the con- trolling influence.
 From the dawn of civilization until recent time. men have been the out of-door workers, the builders of the homes; women's work has been car ing for the homes and raising and caring for their children. Mems work required comfortable apparel; women's work did not. Only during the last 20 years have women enter ed greatly into the field of mems ac- tivity. They already are seeing the advantage of comfortable clothing and shoes.
 A century ago women wore metal corSets, torture cases; now they gen. orally wear gird1es of comfortable di- mensions. Dresses touching the ground, sweeping up and collecting filth, are no longer seen and prob ably will never be worn in the flu ture. The growing appreciation of sanitary precautions will prevent.
 Many women are now wearing sen sfb}e shoes, but high and small heels are more Often seen thSS are not suitable for walking. I do not criticize high heels as much as I do shoes with pointed toes. High heels throw the weight of the body forward and force the toes into the constricted area and the body must be poised in an unnatural position to maintain the balance. They would be much harmful if the inner side of the shoes conformed to that of the feet and gave proper space for the toes.
 Weak ankles give way on account of the unnatural position Many

Every woman has a weakness for a lovely negHgee for the leisure hours of feminine 1oveiness. There are so many types of garments covered by the English use of "negligee" that one is likely to think of anything from the warm, practical dressinS-gown to the more formal type of slip-on negHgee, which might be worn for informal home dinners.
 Very often one is tempted to buy these lovely things, but when one must consider the purse they seem quite extravagant. But the majority of women have a little leisure for the making of those extras which while not essential to ones wardrobe, are among the most delightful things.

In addition TO heavy rains during
the past several weeks this commun-
ity was visited by a heavy hail storm
last Friday and Saturday, resultant
in much change to roads, growing
crops and fruit. Many OF the farm
ers in this immediate section are
having 10 replant their grain crops
Late frosts and recent hail storms
have confined to almost completely
dcmolish the fruit crop.
Although many sheep and goats
were killed by hail and much stock
drowned by flood waters the stock
men are inclined to smile when they
look at the carpet OF green grass COW
ering the many hills that have been
barren for so long.
For the past few days the roads
through this section have been in
very bad condition and in a few plac-
es almost impossible, but the patrol
crew OF the State Highway Commits
sion has called in extra help and are
rapidly clearing way the large bould-
FRS washed in by the heavy rain and
repairing the damaged bridges. in the
event that there are no more heavy
rains such as we have had recently
the roads will be in first class condi-
ton in a very few days.-Roswcll
