TEDDY BEAR USED
OCONCEAL LOOT
Bank Robbers SmugyIe Funds
From Poland in
ChiId's Toy.

BERLIN, July "A teddy bear
stuffed with 100000 Polish zloty, or
about $4,000, was the means repeat
eddy employed by trio of bank rob-
bers to smuggle 100000 stolen zloty
from Poland into Germany.
When a man stepped up to the
cashiers cage of the Disconto Bank
at Frankfort-on-Main recently with
the request to change 100000 zloty
into German marks, the large amount
made the cashier suspicious. The
bank communicated with it's Breslau
branch and was told that the bank
notes were Ok, but attention was
called to bank robbery recently COM
mitted at Krolewska Huta.
Investigation led to the arrest Of a
postal clerk, Karl Kessler, who had
key to the strong room of a bank
at Krolewska Huta. He confessed to
having hidden the money with a pal,
Gottfried Ciesslik, who gave it to his
wife for safe keeping. The same
night both men skipped across the
frontier. A few days later Mrs. Cies-
silk stuffed as many of the stolen
zloty as she could into teddy bear
which she gave her little girl to carry
and so also got across the border
without a hitch. She repeated this
trick a number of times until the
entire 100000 zloty were safely in
Germany.

Agar.

Agar is a Japanese seaweed Be
cause Of its cellulose, 1t is especially
valuable as an aid to overcoming OBJ
Stinate constipation.
Agar occurs i'm commerce in long,
flexible strings, which are imported TO
this country in huge bales. These
strings do not consist of the dried sea
weed, as many suppose, but is the eel
lulose which has been dissolved from
the seaweed by boiling. When prop
erly prepared, it is wholly free from
unpleasant flavor, and it manifests
such an astonishing avidity for water
hat when it is present IN the feces
they cannot possibly become hard and
dry" says Kellogg.
In some persons, the colon eats up
enormous amounts OF CeliuloSe. The
bulk furnished by whole grains, Vege-
tables and fruits is insufficient TO
cause natural elimination. In these
cases, the addition of agar will prove
most beneficial in overcoming constl-
patton.
Agar is indigestible, That is, il is
not assinilated. 1t just moves along
the digestive tract and helps to clear
the waste from the body. IT is not
habit forming. It viii not paralyZe
the bowel movements. On the con
trary, its bulk stimulates intestinal
action. Sometimes when intestinal ac-
ton is very sluggish. mineral oil, if
taken as a laxative aid, may slip
through without carrying feces with
it. Oils help the elimination Of waste
by making it softer but they do not
stimulate intestinal movements. But
because Of it's great fiber, agar fills
the intcstines and carries all waste
along with it. Neither agar nor min
eral oil must he regarded as q ncdl-
cine. In very obstinate cases OF con-

no longer deemed suitable for every
and all occasions.
1t has a definite place in every
womans wardrobe. It is considered
appropriate for sports wear, though
not to the exclusion of other types
of sports hats. II is the hat you may
choose with the informal tailored suit
or frock. There are simply made
linen frocks that look extremely well
with the lightweight, light-colored,
soft felt hat.
Earlier in the season we saw many
felt hats with closely fitted ear tabs
and all manner of slashings and APP
plications of felt. Smart as these hats
undoubtedly are, they are not often
chosen for sports wear. There is
something a little too formal, too pre-
else, too difficult to adjust for prac-
teal wear on the golf course or for
idle hours passed at country clubs.
1t is the soft, lightweight little felt
hat with a downward-turning, slightly
ripping bTm that has met with most
approval on the part of the smart
Young sportswoman this Summer for
informal motor wear and for the
steamer.
RebouX has made pleasing little
sports hat that shows Il rather mar
row ripping brim of beige felt. The
crown of the felt hat is cut away,
and in its place there is a slightly
drapcd crown of brown and blue
ribbed silk.

THE CHILD OF FOUR
By CLYDE CALLISTER.

Shirley Mason began her stage
career when she was years old, and
actually created" the part of Little
Hal in ''The Squaw Man." with Will
liam Faversham in the title role. Mo-
Fart played minuets at this age and
composed little pieces of real merit.
The 4-year-old Beethoven began the
serious study of music, under the in
struction of his father, poor man,
who wanted to make prodigy of the
boy. George Sand, the celebrated
French novelist, who had been no.
tably backward in talking, could read
f1uently at 4, and Charles Kingsley,
an English clergyman, who wrote pop
ular novels, began to preach at the
same age. lie made a little pulpit in
his nursery, arranged the chairs to
represent the pews and filled them
with imaginary listeners, and then,
wearing white pinafore to take the
place of surplice, preached sermons
of the most othodox theology. His
mother, secretly listening in the next
room, wrote down some of these SER
mons and showed them to a bishop
who assured her that her son would
become great man. The son of
Napoleon Bonaparte, called TAiglon
the eagle-was made Emperor of
France" when he was and King
Louis XIV of France was proclaimed
king at that age. Clara Barton,
founder Of the Red Cross, had awful
fears at 4. The face of her teacher
nearly threw her into commissions and
she was dreadfully afraid of clouds.
So much for some of the extraor-
binary 4year-olds. There is something
amazing about almost every child
when it reaches this stage of it's de-
velopment. 1t has been said that
almost every problem that may oc-
cupy an adult mind may be attacked
in its fundamental form by the child
at this time" So don't be disturbed
If your child, who has taken things
comfortably for granted at 3, begins
to ask battling questions. This is the
great Question.asking period. The

4-year-old is deep seeker after truth.
His little brain ponders the mysteries
Of life and death, birth and his rela-
ton to the world about him. Some
times, you know. he gets the habit of
asking questions, and asks them just
for the sake of asking them-inane,
meaningless questions that lead I'M
sympathetic adults to conclude that he
is incapable of real thought. But this
is usually because those whom he asks
have not taken the trouble to give
him satisfactory answers. Psycholo-
glsts tell us that the child of this age
will not be satisfied until he has or
ganized some sort of system-usually
very crude because of his lack Of eX-
perience. He will go on asking ques-
lions until he gets some sort of salts
factory basis for this primitive little
philosophy of his.
The 4-year-old child is in a frame of
mind to receive religious impressions,
and usually he does not again show
such interest in these abstract mat
terS until much later period.
The average weight of the 4-year-
old is 36 pounds, and the average
height is 38 inches. But a parent
should not attach too much impor-
lance to such averages, which may
not be the normal figures for the in
dividual child. The important thing
TO watch is their development, and to
bear in mind that between 4 and
most normal children gain from to
212 inches and pounds.
The child of should be able to
draw a cross from copy. Failure to do
SO need not indicate mental back
wardness, since the difficulty may be
due to imperfect eyesight. Usually a
child of this age can repeat a SEN
tence of II to II syllables. Usually a
girl of 4 knows she is a girl and a
boy knows he is a boy, and, wha: is
of much practical Importance to the
fond parent, children Of both sexes at
this age should be able to button their
own clothes and wash their own hands
and faces.

German Employees Now Are
Getting About $677 s
Annually.

BERLIN, July 2.-Employes of the
German dye trusts companies earn on
an average about $677 year, accord
ing to figures submitted at the annual
meeting of shareholders at Frankfort
recently. This is considerably more
than they earned prior to the war.
Total salaries paid out during 1926
came to about $50 .480 900. Added to
this was a sum of 81 500 900 for State
social welfare, as required by law. The
companies assessed themselves $5,000.-
900 voluntarily for social welfare prof.
ects of their own, bringing the total
expenditure for pension funds, better

nearly 500 a head. In the soft coal
mines operated by the trust the per

Special Dispatch to Tho Star.
NEW YORK, July 2.-Today's brief
session in the Curb Exchange was
characteristic of a preholiday market,
Many traders had left the financial
district Friday night to return Tues
day. The volume of business was
reduced appreciably and the bulk
of the operations represented the
evening up of accounts preparatory
to the three-day suspension.
Price changes were generally up
ward, but interest centered in only
a few selected issues which had been
prominent in the recent trading. Dun
hill international maintained its 4
point rise of Friday and rumors were
current that the demand was COM
ing from insiders preparatory to the
listing of the shares on the stock
exchange.
Bancitaly shares were bid up
sharply for an opening gain of more
than 3 points. The special opera
ton which got under way in Carib
Syndicate Friday was resumed,
carrying the price to within a point
of the high for the year.

Everyday Law Cases
Several Persons Claim Fund;
Ho1C May Fund Holder
Protect HIMSELF
ny THE COUNSELLOR.

Officials of the Norman Co. were
in a quandary. They had $1,000 in
their possession for which there were
two rival claimants. If they paid the
money over to either one, they felt
the other would sue them.
The Norman Co. had gotten the
money in the following manner: A
savings fund for the accommodation
of their employees had been established.
Henry Earl, one OF their employees,
had accumulated in this fund $1,000
by the time of his death. At the time
he had started his deposits Earl had
signed an agreement permitting him
to withdraw the money a. any time.
In the event of his death, the balance
was to go to his wife.
After this ranGement Earl had
made a will leaving all his properly
to an executor. When Earl died, his
executor made due demand on the
Norman Co. for his deposits. Mrs.
Earl also made a demand.
To protect themselves from making
a wrong decision, officials of the Nor
man Co. placed the money in court,
asking that the two claimants settle
the matter between themselves.
Counsel for Mrs. Earl interposed an
ODJecLiOn, UeCIarlng lIldL Earn S agree
ment was plain on its face and that
the Norman Co. was not taking any
risks in paying the money directly
over to her.
But the court held that the Norman
Co. by their decision would have run
the danger of a possibly novel queS-
ton being later decided against its
justifability and allowed the pro-
cedure, declaring:
THE holder of fund, in which he
has no interest. has no duty to decide
as to the contentious of rival claim
ants therefor, from whom he is
entitled to be protected, and may in
good faith bring them and the fund
into court. and compel them to inter
plead. This is the purpose of a bill Of
interpleader."

Hats With Downward-Turning Brims
BY MARY MARSHALL.

The soft, lightweight felt hat
lives on!
A season or so ago it was an OBJ.
tect Of aversion to many milliners.
Frankly they blamed the fashion of
the untrimmed or nearly untrimmed
felt hat for poor business or meager
profits. They would gladly have seen
every last felt hat of this sort sunk
in the bottom of the Seine or the Hud.
son or Lake Erie. the Thames or the
Pacific Ocean.
But now their feeling of hostility
