Shrinking Wash Goods

Shrinking goods before making up
is less necessary now than formerly
because most garments do not fit so
closely. 1t is Objectionable in that 1t
takes the original finish out of the
garment. No wash material stays
clean and fresh as long after 1t has
once been Numbered If the material
is left In Its original folds and i'm
mersed in the bathtub in boiling wa
ter, it may then be lifted out and dried
over a broom handle so as to make
ironing almost unnecessary.

NEW YORK, April 2.-R)-
Charles doff, Norwegian all-around
athletic star whose performances have
been the sensation of the indoor track
season here, didn't like pole vaulting
and took it up under protest, but to-
day he stands in a class by himself
in this spectacular speciality, holder
of all worlds records, indoors or out.
Il was little more than four years
ago that this slim, dark-haired young
SteT-then 10 and now only 23-first
took vaulting pole in his hands. YET
within less than a year he had scared
to a worlds record height, IS feet, u
inches. Since then he has improved
his own mark four times until now it
is IL feet, IL 1916 inches.

John Vaughn, and five other men

police believed they had merely
rounded up another bandit gang.
Whittemore was known as a Balti-
NOR highwaymaT1, confessed MUIR
derer and jaiI-breaker.
Then to Whittemore's hotel came
a brief note: "Call me Immediately

SAL ROBBIE

Officials Of the Piggy Wiggly
Stores warehouse, 1886 Fifth st,
NJ E., broke 4 rule Of several
years standing yesterday and, for
the first time, drew Saturdays
payroll money day ahead Of
time and locked II IN the safe.
The safe was opened during the
night and the cash payroll Of
5000 was stolen.
It was d robber of small stature
who got the money and, apparent
ly. q Well-informed one.
He gained entrance from aload-
ing platform in the rear Of the
warehouse, through a window light
only 20x14 inches.
Knew Location Of Safe
That he was well informed was
evidenced by two facts:
First. he went directly from the
window he had craWled through TO
a beaver board partition and. break
ing that down, found himself In the
office Immediately adjoining that
in which the safe is kept.
And, second, there never before
had been more than $500 in the
safe at closing time. and usually
there was much less than that
frequently no cash at all.
r. T. Richardson, cashier OF the
warehouse, had been in the hebit
for years of drawing payroll money
for warehouse employees on Satur-
- nSr1er no
about noon.
1t was learned yesterday that the
automobile which the cashier used
to go to the bank probably would
not be available today. SO the pay.
roll check was cashed yesterday
afternoon. Richardson put the
money in the pay envelopes be.
fore he left last night and locked
the envelopes in bottom drawer
OF the big cabinet safe.
Theft Is Discovered
Bernard Zentgraft, an employee
who arrives about $50 a. m. each
day, discovered the theft. Zent-
graft saw the hole torn in the
beaver board partition and, investi.
eating, found the safe open. empty
pay envelopes strewn on the floor
around it and the drawer in which
the money had been kept lying on
a desk nearby. Further investiga-
ton revealed the broken window
light off the loading platform.
The robber had chiseled the COM
bination dial Of the cabinet safe
and then had wrenched the opening
lever. The two bottom drawers had
been forced open, but the drawers
in the upper part of the safe had
not been tempered with.
