MRS. STRICKLAND
BEING HELD HERE

Judge H. Winfield Smith, in Re-
corder's court yesterday found
probable cause in the case of Mrs,
Yates Strickland, 46 Pinecrest
parkway, charged with false pre-
tense and forgery in connection
with the cashing of two checks,
allegedly stolen from a soft drink
establishment near the shipyard
the night of April a.
The case will thus be handled
by the Superior court at its next
criminal session here. Bond has
been fixed at $1,000.
According to Deputy Sheriff S.
P. Wright, the she1iff's office was
advised by the proprietors of the
Turner and Turner stand at the
shipyard that $1,000 disappeared
from the establishment between
$50 and 11:30 p. M, April 20.
In the sum was included two ship
yard payroll checks, one for $56.22
and the second amounting to
$61.57.
Later, the checks turned up in
the stores of A. Simon and Davis
Mercantile company, both on Cas-
tie street.
A clerk in the Davis concern
identified the person who cashed
the shipyard check as being "a
Mrs. Strickland" who,' with her
husband, had visited the establish
ment on other occasions. Employ
ment files at the shipyard were
consulted, and the address of Mr..
Strickland, an employee there, Sc
cured.
Mrs. Strickland was apprehend-
ed last week.
Mrs. Simon, who works in the
Simon store, identified Mrs. Strick-
land as being the woman who
cashed the shipyard check in her
place of business.
No arrests have been made as
yet for the theft of the $1,000. but
sheriff's officers predicted there
would be early developments.

VIII don't women's clubs get
bvsy and see that such nurseries
re organized? Surely as women
their members know how hard it
is for war wives to travel with
children these days.
Can i. be that the reason such
:chemes don't appeal to club wo-
men is because they find it more
exciting or more glamorous to
hand out doughnuts to men in

 The Battles battle flared to full intensity, by Berlin account, and spread to new sectors as upward of 600,00o Soviet troops were engaged. To the southwest, Berlin reported without Moscow confirmation, other Russian forces tried to cross the Wis. 'tula river ct Warsaw to storm the Polish capital, but were repulSed.
 The German DNB News Agency said the defensive battle on the northern front ragged with extreme violence" and the Russians had ex. tended it to the area of Tartu, in lower Estonia.
