Asked what women have accomplished in the

Those who think alike be they men women, should

JURY CONV|CTS
GIRL AS ACID
THROWER
Divorce Is Held for Trying
to Wound Youth Who
Spurned Her.
GRAND HAVEN, Mich, Dec. 1:

GRAND HAVEN, Mich, Dec. u.
Mrs. Edna Bauer, So, Holland d.
vorcee and telephone operator, is free
on bond awaiting sentence in circuit
court here, jury having found her
guilty of attempting to wound Neil
Landman, %, of Macatawa, with a
phial of acid.
The specific charge against her was
assault with intent to do great bodily
harm. Landman, who, it is alleged, re-
fused to marry the woman after she
proposed to him, was disfigured for
life and lost the sight of one eye when
Mrs. Bauer hurled the acid in his
face some months ago.
Mrs. Bauer, during her trial. ad-
mitted throwing the acid in Land
mans face, but contended she did 50
only after the man had made i'm
proper advances to her in his auto
mobile.
Prosecutor Fred T. Miles of Otta-
wa county, in his final plea to the
jury, said she threw the acid in the
face of Landman through spite. The
law provides a penalty of from one
TO ten years imprisonment for her
Dffense.

SHOPPERS WARNED
TO GUARD POCKETS

With the Christmas shopping rush
nearing its peak, Chief of Police T. o.
Miller Saturday issued a warning Sat
urday to merchants and shoppers
against thieves.
Taking advantage of the protection
offered them by the crowds which
daily throng the downtown stores,
pickpockets and shoplifters are plying
their trades with increasing zeal,
Chief Miller said. He urged the mer-
chants TO be on their guard and
shoppers TO be careful of their wallets
and purses when they mingle in the
crowds about popular counters.
The warning followed reports OF
several thefts Friday, in downtown
stores.
Blum's, ladies' ready-to-wear store,
31S East Houston Street, was the
heaviest loser when an evening dress
valued at $3.50 was stolen.
o. o. Edmunson, 500 Kendall Ave
nue., had his pocket picked in a down
