 Unmasked Bandits at Cunpoint

P Hood and Sons office on Harris avenue yesterday after noon, escaping with $S,000 in cash after holding more than 80 office workers and drivers at bay with drawn revolvers.
 The unmistakable New York ac- cent of the men and their scorn for masks led police 10 believe today that the job was fixed" by a local man, who imported gunmen from New York to do the actual work. The getaway car. blue sedan, bore District of Columbia registration plates. but contrary to the usual custom, had not apparently been abandoned anywhere near the city.
 A man who applied for position flee Monday, and who had a New York accent. is suspected as the one sent to get a layout of the job in advance.
 When the gunmen entered, one of them went directly to the office of Allie C. AldriCh, manager, and cov- cred him with pistols. Another of the men covered 15 men and women at work in the office, forcing all of them 10 bend over under penalty of having their heads blown off. Two others held up drivers i'll rear room, and a fifth forced Alice Hara- han. cashier, to scoop up the $S,o00 in days receipts and place the money in a bag.
 The intruders then withdrew down a flight of stairs, shouting a last warning that the office was covered by machine gun.
 An $S.o0O payroll usually deliver ed on Tuesdays was not delivered yesterday due to misunderstand- ing.

Constipation more apt to be cause than ordinary days work.

X regular, well cleaned system is the first and perhaps the biggest step toward health and strength, according to many modern special iSts. Bad skin, pimples, headache, biliousness and general run down or tired feeling may all be signs of poor bowel funCtioning.
 Yet there l.; now no real need to suffer from constipation and thou sands and thousands of people are finding relief in Feen- mint - the modern chewing gum laxative that Aou can purchase everywhere. This is because Feen-a mint works on an important new prlnciple-that of uniform internal distribution.
 Because you chew Feen-a-mint it is effective in milder doses than or dinary laXatives. For the effective ness of a laxative is not so much dependent upon the quantity swal- lowed as upon the thoroughness of it's distribution throughout the alimentary tract.
 While you chew this delicious bit of gum the tasteless laxative it con- tains is gradually released and mixed with the saliva. Thus it is carried 10 the intestinal tract smoothly, evenly, without shock to
