eral months ago. She warned us TO
be on the lookout for certain

shoplifter in the city from which
she came. Her speciality was fine
furs. \ few days later we missed
$500 fur coat. Although we did
not catch the woman, we feel GER
tain that she was the culprit."
Showcase Plan Rejected.
That all department store goods
should be displayed under glass in
stead of being placed openly on the
counter in danger of pilfering hands,
was suggestion that an executive
of a San Antonio department store
once made to the owners. After
careful consideration, the suggestion
was rejected for the reason that it
is not as easy to sell goods under
glass as it is when they are. freely
displayed on the counters.
"Sinee the owners of this store are
men of vast experience in the tner-
chandise business, / have every re-
spect for their opinion. Personally,
however, 1 believe that department
store goods could be handled in the
same manner as jewelry. Goods in
a jewelry store are kept under glass.

near San Antonio. Her parents
were liberal and furnished her with
everything within reason that she de-
sired. She was caught in the act of
stealing an article of clothing. She
could give no reason for her act.
Knowing that she was not a profess
sional shoplifter, we did not prose-

Prosecute Professionals Vigorously.
"This is the custom we follow with
those whom we know are responsible
families, and whom we know are not
habitual nor professional shoplifters.
The professional shoplifter is pro-
secuted vigorously and convictions are
obtained frequently. Upon this class
of criminal, we show no leniency."
MANY shoplifters are narcotic ad-
diets" the executive said.
"This combination of circumstances
may be attributed either to the fact
that the addict will take desperate
measures to obtain money for the pur-
chase of narcotics, or. if the addict
is of a well-to-do family and able
to obtain funds by legitimate means,
to the fact that narcotics deaden
the moral senses.

Sometimes Done Needlessly.
A desire to dress beyond their
means is another reason that prompts
many shoplifters, according to the
executive. Department store man.
ayers have been puzzled for many
years to account for the fact that a
seemingly respectable woman will
stoop to shoplifting. One would be
surprised, he said, mt the number of
women whose families are able. to
provide them with every necessity and
many luxuries, and yet who are often
caught in the act of shoplifting.
A peculiar phenomena has been
observed by executives of department
stores in the north and east where
there is unusual opportunity to study
the individual shoplifter. The shop
lifting "urge" reaches its greatest
manifestation among women at inter-
walls coincident with certain physiolo-
gical conditions. This fact. verified
by a noted Chicago physician who
visited San Antonio recently, may
account for the shoplifter coming from
Il family Of the better class, the execu-
tive believes. In other words, the
woman shoplifter may be victim of
a type of kleptomania.

PLANS DIVORCE LAW
Woman Legislator Would Curb
Hasty Marriages.

Nashville, Tenn, March 1O.-A re-
as solution of Americas divONe
problem was urged tonight by Miss
Marion Griffin, of Memphis, Ten
nessee's woman legislator.
Miss Griffin, the only feminine
member of the Legislature. has in
PRODUCED bill which would make
adultery the sole grounds for di-
yorcc.
Il believe my bill ought to be pass
ed by every Legislature in the coun-
dry" she declared.
My plan would curb hasty mar
riages and make almost negligible the
work of divorce courts.
Miss Griffin's proposed law would
allow easy separations but permit di-
vorces only in cases of adultery. IL
would apply only to those marriages
contracted after passage of the bill.
She has observed. she said. that di-
vorces are threatening to undermine
the fabric of American life and that
too many are granted for trivial rea-
sons.
my bill is really better marriage
law she said. at would make di-
vorccs more difficult. and cause pros
pective married couples to think twice
before trying matrimony.
"Hasty marriages are the cause of
most separations. Young people
nowadays are getting married after
few days Of casual meeting and are
encouraged TO do so because they
know they can easily get a divorce.
Il think my law. il adopted. would
eliminate these trial marriages and
revive the sanctity of the marriage
pact"

Shop-lifting Seems to Be
on Increase and Offenders
of More Tender Age
Than in Former Years,
Says Executive.

Depredations of shoplifters have
increased to such an extent that an
executive of a large department store
in San Antonio estimates that at
least 100000 of goods annually are
lost by member stores of the Retail
Merchants Association. Shoplifting
is a comparatively easy method of
theft. and when n wealth of goods
are openly displayed on the counters
of crowded department stores, the i'm

qualification. the executive asserted.

Point-of- Order Opposition.

The District appropriation bill has
been more than usually subjected in
its course through the House this year
to points of order against new legisla'
tian, As one after another objection
has been raised on this score items
have been stricken from the bill with
out regard to their merits, including
some Of the most urgently needed pro.
visions. Appropriations for new school
buildings and sites have gone out, the
item for a site for. a new branch Of the
Public Library has been put aside and
other essential works have been denied
on this same point OF order against
Legislation"
There would be little reason to protest
this situation if coupled with every
point of order raised against these
items in the District appropriation
bill a guarantee were given that the
House would give consideration to
substantive legislation making the
necessary basic authorisatlons for
these new works and acquisitions of
site. But unfortunately there is no
such guarantee.
It has become almost impossible to
get District legislation through the
House. District day" is denied. Only
rarely does the District committee get
q chance at. the calendar, Whereas In
former years 1t was possible for that
committee to come forward several
times In a session with its measures
and secure time for their consideration
and adoption, now District bill h&s
