JAPS ARE SURPRISED

Officials of the japanese Foreign Of
flee refused at first to believe that the
United States had advised its nationals in
the Far East to come home as early as pos
sible Their first reaction was to consider
the news impossible, but, later, they admit
ted that the withdrawal might occur. al
though expressing surprise.
American observers point out that
Japanese officials are reluctant to admit
that their policy meets deep and serious
opposition in this country. Consequently,
they explain the advice by pointing out
that the United States is always excess
sively cautious in advising citizens over
seas"
There is no way to tell what respon-
sible Japanese officials think, but there
are indications which suggest that, at least,
they are beginning 10 believe that the
United States is ready for a showdown if
necessary in the Far East. This makes the
next move of the Japanese extremely sig
nificant.

CHRISTMAS Is IN THE AIR
so WATCH FOR SHOPLIFTERS

LOS ANGELES, Oct. "a
Amateur shoplifters, many of
them women of good family,
cause retail stores just about as
much trouble as professionals,
says B. E. Simpson, superinten-
dent of the Stores Protective as
ISOLATION of this city.
Between so and rs detectives
are constantly at work here pro-
tecting department stores from
shoplifting depredationS. The hol-
iday shopping season, when
stores are crowded and clerks are
busy, is the time the detectives
must be most on the alert.
Our amateur shoplifterS are
rct POOR people, says Simpson.
They ale people who are living
beyond their means, persons who
boIi-Ie thcy never would be sus-
pected.
They may be wives of profess
sional men who have run over
their budgets, or young girls of
good families who buy F; cheap
article and can't resist the temp
tatiCn to pick up an expensive
one ct the same time.
Get Ten Percent
Professional shoplifters, he
says, ordinarily dispose of their
loot through fences" in the East
and get only 10 percent of its
value. But a good one can aver
age $500 worth of merchandise a
day.

HIS COUGHING SPELL
PAYS $500 DIVIDEND
6By Associated Press)

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Oct. "a
Ten-year-old Paul B. Neilus. Jr.,
has coughed up about $500" for
his parents.
The boy swallowed a tooth re-
Gently. Doctors here were I'M
able to fish il out so Paul and his
father hoped a Philadelphia
bound plane for bronchoscopic
treatment there.
As the youth was being pre-
pared for the operation. cough
ing spell seized him-and the
tooth came up.
The operation, which would
have cost about $500. was can
celIed.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-10-24


Among the tricks used by shop
filters, Simpson mentions the fol-
lowing:
A box wrapped to resemble a
tied package actually has false
bottom, and the Shoplifter has
merely to lay it down over an ar
ticle and pick it up adroitly.
A silk bag which at first glance
resembles a sport coat is carried
over the arm and can be stuffed
with stolen goods. This device
permits the shoplifter to leave the
store with both hands showing.
The thief enters the store with
stamped boxes, addressed to her
self, introduces stolen merchan-
disc into them and drops them in
a mailboX. She thus escapes be-
ing caught with the goods.
Use Their Coats
Men shoplifters favor double
breasted coats, and Simpsons Of
flee has record of three men
who got away with eight suits of
clothing in a single day by Sc
creting them on their persons.
The net result of Shoplifting.
Simpson points out. is increased
prices to the public. Every large
store has an item known as
"Shrinkage", representing mer-
chandise that the store has bought
but not sold-which apparently
has vanished into thin air.
This cost must be taken into
account in fixing prices.

Remember The Children
By FRANK e. SCHNEIDER

The Lions are roaring
They are asking for toys,
Things that bring smiles
To our girls and boys.
When you were a child
Remember way back
How Santa Claus came
With toys in a sack.
How eager you wanted
For morning to come,
To play with doll
Or perhaps beat a drum.
Old toys in your lockers
Or under the stairs,
Perchance in the attic
Santa paints and repairs.
Be Santa's helpers
For the coming year
Call -FOUR NINETY
FIVE
Help spread Xmas cheer.
