A new variety of automobile thieves
has been operating just across the Del
aware line, in Chester county, Pa,
where a professional looking man and
a woman in a motor car visit the homes
of elderly persons and treat" their eyes
for improved sight, almost without
charge. Their compensation, however
is gathered by the woman, who col
leCts all the valuaples she can get her
hands on while the man keeps the
patients blindfolded under the pretense
of treating them. This word of warming
may guard Delaware against such
shameful swindIers and thieves.

HnbbySeal
Costs Many
Men Time

An apparently very happy, very
affable hree-months-old female
seal, displayed in the window Of
the Fits fish market on Court
street, modestly unaware of her
own Importance, has perhaps cost
more individuals more time during
the last As hours than any other
one figure in Salem.
Newspapers have received COM
plant. charging w. Fits, proprie-
tor of the market with cruelty; re-
porters have been sent to inves-
tigate; Mr.. Fits has answered
hundreds of questions concerning
his charge; the local humane so
ciety was called into action and
staged a probe; local police Off
GERS were asked to act.
Passersby who saw the seal
sometimes in the shallow water,
sometimes on box entirely dry,
felt that the animal was slowly dy-
ing. They were indignant. They
got busy.
An investigation staged by Lar
ry Hofer, of the humane society,
brought out the fact that, as near
ly as can be ascertained, the Seal
is contented. She is the property
of w, R. Randall of Roseville,
Cal, who is now having built a
cage-tank in which she will be
shipped south. Except on rare oc
casions, the seal turns up her nos'
at the water and prefers to sleeI
on the dry box provided for her
Seals, it is said, often lie on rocks
for days rather than take to the
water.
Mr.. Fits, investigators learned
is himself member of the humane
society here.
