Jewels Vanish; So Does
Maid With Bass Voice
Detectives Look for Shaving
Brush in Her Room After
$1,000 Disappearing Act

Mrs. Harry Schuhman, of 492 Nc
Donough Street, Brooklyn, lost her
maid yesterday and other Jewels, as
we'll as clothing and silverware. The
loss, exclusive of the maid, was esti-
mated at $4,000.
When detectives of the Ralph Ave-
nue. police station responded to the call
given by DR.. Schuhman, Mrs. Schulz
mans husband, and heard about the
vanishing maid from Ireland they
searched her room in the belief that
they might find a razor, shaving
brush or some other evidence of the
maids masculinity.
The detectives believe that the SER
want was man who had dressed as a
woman to answer Mrs. Schuhman's ad-
yertisement for a maid, his purpose
from the first being to rob the house.
Mrs. Schuhman described the maid as
about twenty-eight years old, weighing
about 1866 pounds, with pale face and
heavy features and bass voice which
.reldom was used.
The applicant called Wednesday with
man who said he was her brother
and that she recently had arrived from
Ireland. She got the position at once
and filled it to Mrs. Schuhman's salts
faction. Yesterday afternoon. while
the physician and his wife were in the
rear of the house, the front rooms were
looted and the maid vanished.

Bedtime Stories
Two Foolish-Feeling Little Bears

Mrs. Bear.

If ever there were two foolish-feel-
ms little Bears, the twins of Buster
Bear were those two. And they looked
just as foolish as they felt. While
they had been fighting Peter Rabbit

the best use of his legs and had dis

Boxer nor Woof-Woof had the least
idea.
They looked this way. They looked
that way. They peered under the
pile of brush. They even tore it all
apart. There was no sign of Peter,
AS matter of fact, Peter was far
away, headed straight for the dear
Old Briar-patch. And Peter was
chuckling. The instant those cubs
began to fight all fear had left Peter.
He knew then that he had nothing
more to fear from them.
People who lose their tempers

Peter. II couldn't have done that
better If l had planned it. Ny, how

Green Forest. Yes, sir. III keen

c7sion Peter showed that he wasn't
yet too old to learn lesson and gain
wisdom therefrom.
AT last the twins gave up looking
for Peter: I'll hope l didn't

saw Woof-Woof rub her nose again.

Firebug, ug,Ex-CovernorSays

Former Governor Alfred f. Smith
denied yesterday in General Sessions at
the trial Of DR.. Bernard Lazarus,
charged with grand larceny, that the
defendant had been instrumental in
securing communication of sentence
for Jacob Smith, convicted of arson in
Cato, N. Y.
Lazarus, with Morris I. Rosenberg,
an insurance agent, Of 154 Nassau
Street, was indicted September %,
1920. on a charge of obtaining $4,000
from Mrs. Jacob Smith on the repre-
sentation that Lazarus was former
Governor Smiths personal physician
and could obtain commutation of her
husbands sentence for that amount.
The former Governor denied that he
and Lazarus were boyhod playmates or
that he knew Lazarus and had ad-
dressed him familiarly in several let
ters. He said that Lazarus had spoken
to him about the Smith case, but that
when he decided to comAute Smiths
sentence it was at the solicitation of
officials of Auburn, where the convicted
man was lodged, and on the recon-
mendation of one of the judges of the
Appellate Court.
When he learned from Charles Stem

made motion that Judge Mott direct
the jury to acquit his client on the
ground that case of grand larceny
had not been proved and that if a
crime had been committed it was COM

reserved decision until Monday, at
which time the case will be resumed.
The first witness yesterday was Mrs
Jacob Smith, who testified that she
paid Rosenberg and Lazarus the money

spot. The next moment he plunged
through the aperture left by the plank.
Mrs. Curling ran from the kitchen
at sound Of the falling plank and was
just in time to see her child vanish
into the we'll. The streets were de-
serted and she knew that the men Of
neighboring houses were away.
Without the slightest hesitation she
pulled the rest of the boards from the
we'll and started down, digging fingers
and toes into the moss-grown crevices
in the masonary.
She clambered down to the surface
Of the water, where Charles was still
upheld by the buoyancy of his gar
ments and, holding herself to the wall
with one hand, scooped the baby UP
with the other and tucked him under
her arm. Then she climbed up again.
Charles was shedding tears with su-
perfluous generosity upon garments al
ready soaked and yelling his indigna-
tion at this sudden separation from
the first satisfactory substitute for the
dog he had found. All this gave Mrs,
Curling so much to do that she had
no time to consider the danger both of
them had been in and she was her usual
brisk, cheerful self when her husband
came home to dinner.

TRADE SCHOOLS.

r EFT your slogan be better and more
II trade schools for girls. %here are
far more trade schools for young men
than for young women, yet it is be-
coming almost as usual for the girls
of the family to earn their living as
for the boys. Very few girls nowadays
are satisfied with staying at home and
going into society. They want to work
at something; they want their indie
pendence. And they deserve training
and proper opportunity.
Many women in the smaller towns
are eager for training that will fit
them to earn living, and they can
not get it. This is all wrong, and it
is Sup to us to get our schools. One
girl know wanted a course in phOtog-
raphy, for which she had a strong
leaning. She had to travel hundreds
of miles and spend much money to
get il. She could afford TO do so and
she has now good business back in
the town from which she started.
What is more, she is conducting a
class in her speciality. But she believes
that it would pay her town to run q
vocational school for girls that would
teach photography as well as many
other vocations And she is working
for such a school.
1t is a pity to force so many girl:
into the weary road Of stenography
simply because it is so often impOs
sibIe to get the needed training in thu
hundreds of other vacations open Il
them. Let every town insist on it
trade school. It will pay for itself>t
