"Dead" Mail Would Cover Town

Dead or misdirected, letters re-
ceived by post offices throughout the
United States during one year would
completely cover fair-sized town,
Not a blade of glass or a speck of
ground would be seen If the letters
were laid fiat on the ground.
During the fiscal year just recently
ended, there were 100000 letters
sent to the dead letter Office through
carelessness in addresses. This
amount is reported virtually every
year, 1t is said.
The dead letters, laid side by side,
would cover 1879 lots, each 20 by
100 feet. There would be some 3d.
95S,333 square feet entirely covered
by mail.

LYRIC TOPRESENT
 5EXCELLENT ACTS
MinstreIcy, Comedy Skit, Vo- caIiSts and Dancers Are
 on the Bill

If there is anything better than a hearty laugh, it isn't listed, and there is no better place to get one than at the Yyrio this week where com edy in many forms, all entertain ing and diverting, will be presented. Five time Keith acts with a pie ture make up the program.
 If there is one form of entertain ment with universal appeal, 1t is the minstrel. and the act to headline the bill at the Lyric Monday, Tues day and Wednesday. Is a gem in this line. The Seven Honey Boys produce it and they have called it "A Beehive Loaded With Honey" Honey, in this instance, means tune- full songs and merry jokes. The Honey Boys are Tommy Hyde, Jimmy O'Mara, Bill Cawley, Happy Benway, Herbert Williamson, George Gaust and Jack Bremen.
 When 1t comes to comedy playlets, the one on this bill is in a class by itself. It is "A Roadside Flirta- tion," with Harry Keene and Katie Williams doing the flirting.
 Then an old favorite IS the special feature. He is Al Shayne, who calls himself this year "The Singing Beauty" Al is not a beauty, but he can sing and he has a line of comedy.
 The acts that round out this bill are in keeping with the featured numbers. Maureen Englin is a scintillating songstress. Wolford and Burgard, with comedy singing and eccentric dancing, offer Steps, Styles and Smiles.'

ABLE CHIEF HEADS
 CRIMINAL BAND
International Band of Crimi- naIs Said to Be Directed
 From London
By Associated Press

London. September 1.-The police are seeking in this city the head of what is said to be a remarkable group of international criminals. A veritable Napoleon of crime" Is be- lieved to have established his head quarters hero. He is alleged to com mand & we'll organized band of in- ternational crooks, every one of whom is 8 past master of every form of nefarious craftsmanship known in the underworld. They include men of education. scientific attainments and social charm. Under the leadership of their mysterious chief they are credited with conducting burglaries, cracking safes and committing cost ly jewel robberies that baffle detec- tion. They are declared to work in accordance with plans of campaign prepared by the master mind with all the skill of great military strate- gist.
 with varying degrees of sensational ism, Of late there has been an in creasing number of jewel robberies. As a result an insurance company, which insures a good deal of valuable jewelry, has increased it's premiums charged on this class of risks by 25 per cent.
 J. W. Bell, one of London's leading assessors, says that many recent big robberies have been so we'll planned and executed that the police can do little more than suspect the authors.
 Experts Engaged
 dfFha nann1a rUhn Oin crimes are not the common, ordinary type of thief" Mir. Bell says. There Is more than one real Rallies in ex- istence today. They haunt society gatherings and in the hotels they are popular guests
 T know one man who has town address, a country house near Bournemouth. and two fine motor cars, who Is more than suspected of complicity in some of these great rob- berries, but up to the present time chance of connecting him with any of them.
 He Is of good appearance, always well dressed, and would. in the ordi- nary way, be accepted as a guest at the houses of wealthy people.
 T know one instance in which director of thieves is reputed to be worth $15o.Ooo. Another successful director Is woman who has a uni versity education, and is a cultured and charming personality.
 "The victims, both in hotels and at private houses, are often watched and shadowed for days before a suitable opportunity for the robbers occurs. It may easily cost s1,000 or s1,500 to meet the expenses of a successful haul, and the big thieves require fre- quent robberies to maintain them selves"

HOW WEsTERNERs RIDE

J. w. whitaker, Tn Adventure Maga-
 zine.
 It Is owing to the individuals taste as to how they ride; some prefer a short stirrup while others like them long. The short stirrup should be long enough for just the ball of the foot to rest in and give the proper spring to the body. In this way your body Is in unison with the movement of the horse; better on you and easier on the horse.
 When the stirrups are short your knees become stiff after being in the saddle a few hours, and you are in- clined to press your knees against the muscles of the bac kpart of the horses shoulders. Your seat tis very insecure; and usually after a days in rolling this puffed place is injured SC that Is the beginning of a set-fast or running sore back. Keep your self glued to the saddle and follow the movements of the horse and you reed have no fear of causing his back to be sore.
 In jumping a ditch, ravine. bush. etc.. rise in tn estirrups and bend forward. This assists the horse. He judges the distance by the weight of his fore part and so clears the ob- stacle easily.
 It Is easier on the horse to have your weight equally divided on his back. so that Is why 1t is better to have firm seat in the saddle than tc continually keep rising and sit ting

CHRISTENING COMMODITIES

From the Sclentlflc American.
 Products are often named from the places of their origin. though time frequently warps the name out of recognition. We trace muslin to Mussolo in Mesopotamia, cambrio to Cambrai, calico to Calicut in India, damask to Damascus. and fustian to Bustat, Cairo. Gin, the corrupter, is itself corrupted from Geneva, while sherry by acrobatic evolutions leads us back to Heres. Millinery Is a bit obscure until we learn that citi- zen of Milan was once called a mill liner, and that millinery was women's finery imported from Milan. Currant derives from Corinth. poplin from Avignon, papal town. Other names. such as champagne. china. morocco and arras retain their source- forms untwisted by time and foreign tongues.

WOMEN MAY SMOKE JUST LIKE MEN IN NEW YORK THEATRE
Sex Line No Longer Drawn When It Comes to Puff fling Tags During the
 Performances
By JANE COMPTON Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald (Copyrlght, 1922. by The Age-Herald)

NCOpyrfEnty lDxS, by The Ake-Heraid1
 New York. October 7.-"Even tho ladies may smoker.
 There 1t is at last. Smoking in the music halls and theatres hereto fore has been restricted to ths male sex. But no longer. The lady who likes and appreciates puff or two Is in her element now in New York. And the dignified bankers who have been conventioning hereabouts for the last week can go back home and. if they so desire, tell their neighbors that not only are the ladies allowed to smoke In a certain Columbus Cir cle open house, but that they do so with great zest.
 More than decade ago. In the days when there was more spirit-yea. and spirits-a Gotham poet sang as he strummed his cigar box ukulele Way down south in Greenwich vil-
 lage.
 There the ladies go for thrillage, Down In Washington Square,"
 And so on.
 May Puff At Will
 Well, the ladies do not have to go SO far south now. In this theatre, once the home of some of the-best known stars of the American and British stage, men and women alike now can smoke as they will. There are also no restrictions on what they may puff. The cigar, even the old corn cob or Missouri meerschaum, 1t all depends upon the taste of the smoker, not the sex.
 The theatre caters to those who like their entertainment lively. Re- fined bur1esque, a far cry from the old-time slap-stick kind, Is featured. And it Is the boast of the manage ment that their patronage is at least as well If not better dressed and the percentage of women as high, If not higher, than in any other theatre in the city.
 The women like both the snow and the privilege to relax. A great many of them smoke. But there are plenty who do not. However, they seem to take peculiar personal pleasure in seeing their sisters who indulge in the weed" light up and puff away without interference by anyone.
 Idea Was Original
 The management insists that the patronage since the rule was put into effect warranted the action.
 Tt was original with us," said one of them today, but We saw no reason why If the men patrons were to be allowed to smoke during the per- formance the women who have hon. ored us with their patronage should have that privilege denied them. Even in the foremost legitimate theatres you will see many women hurrying to the dressing rooms so soon as the curtain comes down on an act to enjoy hasty puff. Why should they be inconvenienced when they pay their money at the box of- flee the same as the men do?"
 Another feature at this same theatre which Is providing popular ity is dancing between the acts. Car pets have been removed from the foyer and the space back of the rear row of seats has been waxed A special jazz orchestra has been in- stalled to furnish music and to keep the dancers popped up.
