Finders Keepers,
Losers Weepers

No one could prove the old say
ing '1osers weepers finders keep
ers" Saturday when a set lost
from a sailors ring disappeared.
Two sailors and two girls were
sitting in a tavern late Saturday
afternoon when the sailor discov'
cred that he had lost a setting
from his ring. While the party
was searching for 1t on the floor
one Of the girls said she saw the
other girl in the party pick 1t up
and try to conceal it in her hand.
At the police station the girl who
had allegedly taken the setting
agreed to be searched by her
companion who reported that the
suspect had taken something from
the roll OF her stocking and put
1t in her mouth and took a few
big gulps.
II there had ever been any prec-
ious stone back Of her white teeth
no evidence was found when she
finally opened her mouth. The
young sailor was 10th to sign a
complaint against his companion
and she was released.
