How Sophie Lyons Burke Beat the Game

DETROIT.-"She didn't stand a
- show. The cards were stacked
against her at birth. She entered life
by a crooked path. Her stepmother
was a receiver of stolen goods. Their
home was a thieves meeting place.
She played on the sidewalks of an I'M
speakable street. When she was old
enough they sent her out as shop
litter, and in time she married
craftsman and became an internation-
al criminal. But Sophie Lyons beat
the game. She bucked the odds and
won-triumphant over environment,
ancestry and rearing-turned the past
into doormat, wiped the mud off her
This, in brief, is the summing up of
the marvellous career of Sophie Lyons
Burke, who turned to the right" to
such good effect that the story of her
rise from a career of crime, which had
made her familiar with the cells of so
prisons, to wealthy real estate opera
tor and substantial citizen of Detroit,
has been deemed worthy of the lead
ing place in Success Magazine.
Forty years ago Sophie Lyons,
famous as an international crook, de-
cided crime was a losing game-that
1t did not pay. Today as Mrs. Sophie
Lyons Burke, the property she has ac-
cumulated is assessed at a tritle over

shave So, for the celebration all the
men grew boards by decree of

decree. Before this court the wretched
shavelings were dragged by the city

in the street with smooth chins were
seized and sometimes handcuffed.
