Dummy Thwurts Thief's Effort
To Rob Her Of $65OFur Coat

PHILADELPHIA, N.A.NA.)
The lady had eyes that couldn't
see, ears that couldn't hear and
mouth from which no sound would
ever come. Her immobile features
mirrored an existence that can best
be described as idle.
She was, to put it bluntly, quite
a dummy, from her blond hair to
her weli-turned ankles. =
Yet she saved a $3.50 Persian
lamb coat, which a thief tried to
grab from her shapely fame. And
she did it without lifting a hand
which is the point of the whole
story.
Posing daily in the window Of a
South Philadelphia fur shop, her
mannikin grace showed of the coat
to good advantage.

He has found four groups among

Naziism was a religion: romantic

in order not to be disturbed in their
ivory towers; finally, opportunists.
None of these can be trusted with
the task of re-educating youngsters
