| Thief Takes
 Gems sUith
 Glued Stick

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 19-- Using a long stick tipped with glue, a spart thief fished $5,000 worth of gems from the window of the H. w Beatty & Sons jewel ry store after he had broken a hole in the glass early today.
 The store is on Euclid avenue, in the heart of Playhouse Square. The robber evidently had been frightened away from his task, for $45,000 worth of gems in the window were left untouched.
 An iron grating is built around the window on the inside to pre- vent anyone breaking the glass and scooping up the jewelry, but the thief circumvented that oy ramming a small hole with 8 stone and using a glue-coatsd stick to pick up the gems.

"PRINCE OF PEP" AT
 COLISEUM TOMORROW

Philanthropy brings the world lot of happiness; but it some times leads the biglhearted young man of wealth into lots of diff culty. This is proved with delight full twists of funmaking, with the inimitable clowning of Dick Tal- madge, and with the sensational stunts of this agile and acrobatic star in his latest picture, "The Prince of Pep" which has been adapted to the screen by James Bell Smith, and is at the Coliseum Saturday, matinee. and evening. The Doctor is handed plenty of trouble after wallop on the head knocks out of him all recollection of what his name is, where he lives, and other such small de- tails. The mystery element nf this roaring comedy-melodrama has been handled with just the right amount of burlesque-and that is a trick the Talmadge com pany seems to have worked out to perfection. Laughter is the predominating motive, but there are lot of new thrills worked out in the mad chases and fights which take up much of the last few reels, and Dick Talmadge was never better as a stunt star than in his series of escapades over the roofs of the New York tenc- ment district.

SLIPPERS OF SILVER
 FAVORITE FOOTGEAR

PARIS. Jan. 20 Shoes used to chosen to match dresses. but since silver slippers became so popular that many women wear almost nothing else it is apparent that a great many fashionable women are picking out dresses which Will set off their slippers.
 Silver kid is undoubtedly Paris first choice this winter.
 The decoration and design of these shoes has reached such an art that even the old-time em. broidered shoes of queens and princesses preserved in French museums are put to shame by the skill and beauty of the modern creations. The old embroidery designs are copied by the modern craftsmen in kid. jewels and silk thread. Usually they are simpli- fled and always they are adapted.
 The most important designers insist upon elegant simplicity in footwear, and silver and gold kids set off with colored appliques of kid work out well in the new styles. Perugia7s new styles are less complicated than they ha, 2 been for several seasons.
 Some of the newest black satin slippers for afternoon wear have silver or gold heels and simple appliques of silver and gold kid in lieu of jeweled buckles.

Automobile and other street accidents have
become SO numerous in many cities that CAM
paigns have been commenced to teach the pub
lie, pedestrians as well as drivers of vehicles,
the wisdom of exercising care on the public
streets.
Investigations OF accidents on the streets
have developed that large per cent of them is
avoidable; that they are the result of careless
ness on the part of the driver of the vehicle or
the pedestrian who is the worst sufferer when a
collision occurs.
Men and women rush across the streets or
between street cars and vehicles, apparently
without any thought of the dangers they face
in doing so. Many persons can be seen leaving
street car at the rear door and crossing the
street behind the car, thereby running the risk
of being struck by car passing on the blind
side.
Automobile drivers are not blameless in the
matter. Many of them take chances in rushing
across a street ahead of street car or another
automobile, all for the evident purpose of saw
ing few seconds, as if the saving of time JUS
titled them in running the risk of being struck.
Drivers of vehicles are blamed for many more
accidents than should be charged to them. Pc
destrians have responsibility which they
should not attempt to evade. 1t is much easier
for the individual to wait a few seconds than it
is for the driver of an automobile to stop to
prevent striking person who has rushed into
the middle of the street in thoughtless haste.
Every person, driver or pedestrian, who uses
the streets has it in his power to aid in naking
the streets safe for all.

Editorial Comment
That Horned Toad Controversy
(Minneapolis Tribune)

About that Texas horned toad, if you please
The issue is not just one between laymen who
say it happened and scientists who say it
couldn't have happened; it is between scien-
lists and scientists as we'll.
Most of us are not much interested in horned
very comfortably if the species should become
extinct. The cynic may ask: "Why is a
horned toad?" and be flippantly inclined to let
the controversy go wagging on it's way be-
tween the Texas laymen and the learned sa-
wants or naturalists of the rest Of the world.
The thing, however, is not so easily disposed
of as that. And so we have a first-page de-
bate on the question whether or not horned
toad could live for 81 years immured in the
without water, and without air for nearly a
third of century.
The Texas laymen are entitled to credentials
for veracity until somebody can prove that
they aren't They saw the recess in the stone
opened. They saw the horned toad lying in
it, apparently dead. In a little while, though,
the toad showed that it still had life in it, and
the toad is now on exhibition. This is their
story, anyhow, and nobody has disproved it,
although quite a company of believers have
denied that it can be true. They are telling
only what they think, not what they know.
The chances are that some, if not all, Of
these Texas laymen will believe to their dying
days that this horned toad lived after 81 years
of Imprisonment. The disputing scientists
probably will keep on being skeptical on this
Rip Van Wrinkle story. The truth never will
be established to the satisfaction Of every in
terested person. The scientists will say that
somebody Slipped one over in Texas when
others were not looking, and the laymen will
say that the scientists do not know what they
are talking about.
Around many just such things as this have
the credulity and the unbelief Of men chal-
lenged each other through the centuries. II
it were proved to the unanimous satisfacti N
Of the race that horned toad, or any other
kind Of toad, could live for 81 years without
air. food, water, light or activity, then what ?
This is to say what would we do about it, or
what worthwhile conclusions could we draw
from the fact? No human being has been
able to survive very long under such circum.
stances. and neither has any animal that rem
ders useful daily service to man. Whether or
not this horned toad achieved what he is said
to have achieved has little Of Importance to do
with the prestige and glory Of the Creator; ii
does not appreciably enhance the lure Of the
miracles Of nature.
