Thirsty Thieves
Continue Raids

Stealing cash was a habit
practised by thieves in previous
years, but the fashions have
changed now.
With the advent OF liquor ra-
tioning, this commodity has a
top priority on all the thieves
books. SO it wasn't surprising
that when unknown thieves
broke into the Orbans Bar, IA
Mile road and Van Dyke, they
promptly stole three cases Of
whiskey, of assorted brands.
In addition five cartons of
cigarettes were missing as well
as four dollars in pennies. En-
trance was made through the
side window, in the arch way at
the. front entrance, Macomb
county authorities reported.
Other Warren township tav-
ems have recently been stripped
OF liquor supplies by marauders

AS our stay in the city
heightened, the reception grew
noisier-most of the noise being
contributed by shore batteries
on the Italian mainland, two
miles away. Air bursts OF shells
rained shrapnel on the already
tortured buildings and boule-

metropolis as the enemy recog-
nized the presence of the Amer

Looking across the water at the

hear continuous explosions Of
Allied shells which were al
ready beginning to fall there,
and we saw smoke arising from
the waterfront.

When l was in school was
under the impression that about
the biggest numbers which ex-
listed were astronomical distances
the SO million miles to the Sun,
the $50 million miles to Venus
and the $4,000 miles to the Moon
But l imagine the modern school
child, who has advanced beyond
the fourth grade, poohpoohs little
numbers like that and, if he reads
! the newspapers, doesn't think he's
talking big" unless he refers tC
hundreds of billions.
The word trillion hasn't yet be-
come a very common term, but
as I studied the Presidents bud
get for 1913, it was obvious thai
it will soon become a household
word.
Because of the way the wore

banded about in Washington,
imagine that even the penny
pinchers in congress are getting
so they are willing to approve
any bill which only calls for ;
reasonable number of millions.
