taking few chances on getting rid of
costly loot. Even when recut, re-
mounted and otherwise disguised, the
matter Of sale at good prices is ex-
tremely conjectural. Fences" though
conducting the shadiest sort of bust
ness. have not any too much money
to tie up in unstable gems.
The chief market of the fence
one hears, is the racketeer, gangstel
and rum-runner. These underworld
gentlemen have been adjoining their
"SWeetteS" and "mOllS" with expensive
Jewels and clothing. The "girl
friends" of the mob are, naturally
being watched for any undue display
OF glittering evidence.
But even before thrift came gen.
orally upon the land, values of stolen
gems however valuable - had
dropped off. One police report re-
vealed that stones valued at some
$4,000 had been stolen. Checking
their disposal, following the arrest OF
two men. it was found that the thief
had received a mere $1,000 from a
fence" This was a good days work
for the fence" since two of the stolen
pieces had brought him $4,000. But
the entire lot brought less than hall

After Three Years

Having the game largely in their
own hands, and playing much Of 1t
we'll, the Democrats are unwise to
make wild, foolish statements about
Mr.. Hoover. It Is true that these
might be considered justifiable re-
prisals for equally inane adulation
from the mouths of some OF his sub
ordinates and supporters. But what
can excuse an official Democratic
spokesman for saying that President
Hoover lis regarded as wholly IN
competent President? II it be said
that everything goes" In politics.
language like this is likely to cause
sympathy for its object and to pro-
woke resentment among thoughtful
and independent men. Mr.. Hoover
has made plenty Of mistakes. What
president has not? But what human
wisdom would have availed when the
country and the world were under
the pressure Of irresistible economic
forces?
His troubles began in the first year
OF his administration and steadily in
creased. The promises of prosperity
that he made in his campaign were
to be bitterly falsified by events and
counted against him. But he uttered
only the standard Republican gospel.
Hitherto the Republican party had
had most Of the luck. 1t had come
to regard itself AS the agent OF
benevolent Republican Providence.
the architect of national wealth and
well-being In the fat years when
Mr.. Coolidge was in power this Cos
pei seemed authentic. In 1928 the
Democrats themselves seemed to be-
lieve in it. Eagerly they hung the
shield of protection on their own
bosoms. In some respects Mr.. Hoo
yer is i'll served The ways of politi-
clans are not his. His zeal for CO.
ordination has not enabled him to
coordinate himself with congress. He
can't be expected to cooperate with
those Republican Republicans,
the Progressives.
Suppose that the good times had
continued. Wouldn't the country
have stood by him, and the Repub-
lican kickers have chung to him to
save their bacon. as they did to Mr..
Coolidge? AS certain African tribes
put their rain-maker to death If his

quired dose Of moisture, 50 many
Americans have held Mr.. Hoover re-
sponsible for the results, mostly I'M

and for the repercussions of the great

RARITY BREEDS SAFETY
However, there are four or five
rare jewels which owners and police
have always considered relatively
safe because they are so unusual and
startling in arrangement as to be
almost worthless to thief. In other
words, they could be identified i'm
mediately almost anywhere In the
world, and tampering would not hide
this identity.
There are, for instance, the dia-
mond tiara Of Mrs. Corpelius Wander
bilt and those much publicized sap
phires Of Peggy Hopkins Joyce and
the emerald collection Of Mrs. George
Baker, OF the millionaire bank
ing family.
Mrs. Napoleon Bonaparte possesses
the Bonaparte family emeralds, but
rarely does she wear them. A paste
substitute gives the society-goine
public an idea OF what the rea'

Crocodile tears" has been an ex-
pressive If not eloquent figure Of
speech for decades. Now comes q
demolishcr Of popular traditions and
declares emphatically and empirically
that crocodiles do not weep and can nc
longer be held up as synonymous for
super-hypocrites.
But let writer Of the New York
Times relate the expose in his own
inimitable way:
For centuries the crocodile has
had sad reputation for hypo-
critical weeping. Early voyagers
reported that the creatures would
cry and sob like a Christian
body to lure their prey, and then
snatch them and eat them. An
other theory was that as they ate
their victims, tears streamed down
their lugubrious faces. Small
wonder that false tears have been
named for the crocodile.
ouL llOW 4llC bdllCCt COIklCo
forward to spoil the story. Croc-
odiles do not cry. They may be
deep-eyed hypocrites, but they
are unable to weep crocodile or
any other kind of tears. Science
applied the onion test, but the
crocodile was unmoved A mixture
of onion juice and salt left him
dry-eyed.
1T is hard to relinquish SO pic
turesque a phrase. Crocodile
tears calls up a vision of large
scale weeping. There is a chance
that the test was inadequate.
Perhaps If the investigator had
ordered soft, sad music played
to his crocodile--such as movie di-
rectors use to help their stars cry
the beast might have shed a
few tears and done his best to-
ward maintaining a cherished
tradition"
