Burglary Made Difficult

The business Of burglary is con-

Post Office Department today asked
for bids on 40 locking devices for
installation on government owned
safes in certain small Offices where
considerable money is handled.
This device is adjusted to the lock
ing mechanism Of the safe. When 4
burglar attempts to drill hole for
the insertion Of nitro-elycerine the
device locks automatically and no
number Of holes will permit Of en-
trance by the burglar.
After the device locks it is neces-
sary to have an expert sent from the
factory furnishing the lock to open
the safe. The postmaster himself can
not get in the safe until the arrival
of the expert.

CHAPTER 50
MEN LEARN TO COVER THEIR
FEET

You remember that people at hrSt
wore no clothes. In the Stone Age,
However, they began to use animal
skins for clothing. These were
sewed together, and guarded people
against the chill winds of winter;
Although the body was clothed,
it is believed the feet were not.
Men, women and children all went
barefoot Their feet must have
been very tough ana it is likely that
It did not nuft much when they hap
pened to step en- sticks or sharp
stones. They may even have been
able 70 walk on snow and ice with
cut great deal Of pain.
Yet men did at last learn to
cover their feet. We do not know
just when this happened. 1t may
have been a hundred thousand years
go-or it may have been only ten
thousand.
The lake-dwellers seem to have
made shoes out Of leather. Leather
is animal hide from which the hair
been removed, and which has been
made tough with juices taken from
the bark Of certain trees.
Pieces of leather were found
among the ruins of several lake vii

parture Of the bandits and either to

In 4 few instances, the burglars,
impatient to secure the loot, have

monid fumes and were found unCon-
scious by citizens aroused by the eX-
plosion.
