100000 WORTH FURS

New York, March 1.-(AP).-

The robbers, the police disclosed,
rented a vacant store in the rear of

was erected which cut off the view
of the rear of the store from the
street, and the tunnel, six feet wide

shop, while the dirt and muck was
piled on the floor at the base of oper-
atoms.
The passageway was planned so
that when the men broke through
lHe last Wall lne lOoI was easily ac-
cessible. The tunnel was completed
early yesterday morning and the furs
removed during the day.

Sabatia.

| 01Udtk0s
Lovely is the shell pink of wild
roses among the hedge rows or MID
| summer: but there is little flower
which is sometimes called rose-plnk.
| though I think the name Is more
| bookish than really popular. 1t blooms
now in meadows and even in the hard
clay of upland fields that were once
| cultivated and have gone over TO
weeds. It's scientific name is Sabatia,
commemoratng, for no special reason,
Liberatus Sabbari, an Italian botanlst
| of long ago.
There is not q flower that makes a
daintier appearance, so fragile ana
delicate are it's pink petals. so candid
and uplifted the broad salver of its
corolla in general appearance 1t looks
like a little pink cosmos; actually IT
is no cosmos at all, but member OF
the gentian family.
One of those persons who have
nothing better to do than to invent
local history and amaze children with
stories of wars and witches invented
the tale that Sabatia is so named for
the Sabbath; that the Pilgrim Fathers
saw it when they landed at Plymouth
and put it in the churches, naming it
for the holy day.
Quite aside from the fact that the
good Fathers probably never did any,
thing so frivolous as to put flowers
in their meeting houses, it is known
fact that the story is of recent origin.
But people Of Plymouth are addicted
| to the story, and object strongly to
mixing more secular flowers with
their rose of Plymouth" in altar
decorations.

women who fancy they can sing, and
who take lessons in voice culture, who
apparently do not know when they
sing off key. To listen to such a per-
son practice is distressing to sensi-
tive ear. 1t is not altogether that the
notes are wrong, but that the singer
doesn't know they are wrong. This is
most distressing. If the girl or
woman practicing detects her error
and remedies it, the listener has
hopes of ultimate success, and there
is a certain satisfaction to listening
to the improvement. But when the
singer continues to practice with no
regard for or knowledge of the glar-
ing fault, then it is torture indeed, in
a mild form. to hear her sing.
Train the Good Voice.
The strength Of a small voice can be
so built up that it grows in volume
tremendously. To acquire volume
takes patient study. however. The
large voice, on the other hand, often
has to be moderated to bring out its
little significance. Beauty Of tone is
the thing to desire. But when sweet
ness is coupled with strength and a
wide range, parents should consider
such a voice as a gift and endeavor
to see that it is permitted to have
as good training as would be given
to any other natural ability. But
first be absolutely sure that such a
child has what is known as "a good
ear" which means that her singing
is on the key, with notes neither just
below the right pitch nor the tiniest
fraction Of tone above 1t.
