Experienced Woman Store Detective


A WIDENING wave of shoplifting has been
~ reported recently in large stores all over
the country, with surprising percentage
Of offenders women of wealth and high station.
And when these lovely women stoop to the
Jolly of shoplifting and get caught the almost
universal excuse for them is kleptomania, the un-
controllable impulse to steal. People feel sorry
Tor them and ascribe their acts to an unfortunate
mental twist which they cannot manage.
The thieves themselves, especially when they're
decorative debs or wealthy society matrons, often
lay claim TO some special psychosis as the main
cause of their msbehavior and embarrassment.
Yet regardless OF all this prattle about KEEP
tomania have never encountered nor heard from
ether operatives of single legitimate case of 1t
N all my years as a store detective. / have in
vostigated the personal histories Of hundreds of
.hoplifters and not one Of them ever was the
Ubedient slave of any abnormal urge to steal.
A good example is the case Of the two young
soCialites who were arrested the other day on
charges of appropriating $1,000 in wearing APP
larel from an exclusive New York store Park
Ave raised the jewelled lorgnette in shocked
tewidernent when the defendants were named
Gertrude Poyneer Sheppard, 20, daughter of
the head of a Brazilian utilities corporation, and
Emily Cunningham Myles, 1S, whose father is
prominent Gotham lawyer.
Both girls were charged with grand larceny
and their reputed raids the stores inventory
alleged to have covered extended period
while Miss Sheppard a Vacation-tme salesgirl.
The raids ended when Miss Myles stopped
while leaving the store with $50 worth of raiment
The courts eventually allowed Miss Sheppard
10 plead guilty to a lesser charge and she was
given a suspended sentence. The younger girl was
ruled youthful offender and placed on probation.
Said Miss Myles a prospective war bride, at
the time of her arrest, Il had TO have something
decent to get married in and mother simply
would have passed out il they were on the bills"
Generally, however, arrests like this the
exception rather than the rule. That is because
the management usually takes the long-range
view that it's better 10 take the loss without pro-
test than 10 lose the business of the ShoplifterS
wealthy friendS.=And then there is always the
danger Of an acquittal and damage suit

coat; 1926, a coat, and in 1929,
two coats and a dress. Her sen
tence was finally COMMITTED
after she had served eight years.
Where a wealthy customer
makes a practice of walking out
with unpaid merchandise, or an
expensive evening gown or fur
coat, it is the policy of the store
management to telephone her
husband and tell him she has
forgotten TO pay-and would he
be so kind as to send a check?

i someone is trying to rush you into, youll find that these ex-GI loans may do something practical. They should loosen up the draw strings on the money bags of anyone who has a money bag. That's because the Veterans Administration is au- thorized to guarantee repayment to the lender of half of any loan provided the half isn't more than S2,0oo.
 Any person, any firm, any asso- citation or corporation, or any state or federal agency becomes a quail fled lender under the. law.
 So you want to become a bor- rower? You want home loan that is, you want to buy home or build one. Well, not much chance you can build one new. Any way you want to buy place and you need some money. You raise it this way.
 First, see the person or trust company CT bank or other concern where you hope to borrow some money Tell them you're a veteran and go over your proposal.
 Lending institutions are supposed to have applications and informa- ton but, if not, ask the nearest representative of the Veterans Ad- nlinistration. Maybe you don't know where he's located? Peep into the phone book-it may be listed United States Veterans Admins tration.7 If not ask your post master.
 The outfit with the money will be willing to part with some of it, if it appears you intend to use it to buy property for a home and for a price that won't exceed a reason able normal value. Also, your in come will have to look as though it could stand making payments on the loan.
 Next thing is to complete a form called 8 Qualification Of Eligi- bAity." The lender will help you to fill this out, and it'll go to the VA.
 Why the devil do you need any eligibility certificate from the VA. when your discharge shows you're eligible2 You're not supposed to ask questions like that. You gotta get a certificate, Veteran. It's the rules. But I can give you couple of reasons, and will-next article.

vETERANS' GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

WASHINGTON Elizabeth Lutz, formerly of the Women's Army Corps with the First Photo Group, is now an ex-WAC in Pittsburg. A pretty smart hombress, if you ask me.
 She was the first WAC veteran to get herself a loan under the CT Bills loan section, after being released from the Army because of a dependency that made her indis- pensable at home. But she didn't have the home, so she went over to Swissvale Borough and bought one. Easy. The CT Bill had loan provisions and she was ex-service, so that added up to something for her
 Let's move up on this lean ques- ton and wipe it out The GI Bill CTitle III created a loan right for all ex-ssrvice people of the Global War That right is the ability to borrow money, with the Government guaranteeing half of the loan. Of course, we have to meet eligibility requirements, but they're quite simple, so let's go around them here and come back to mop them up later
 Elizabeth Lutz' loan was in the first of thmee classes: home loans, farm leans and business Ioans-all allowable under the CT Bill.
 The first thing to get clear is that none of the loans are govern ment handouts" Because of a lot of latrine rumors that were kicked around in the service and afterward, I'm afraid many of us thought all We had to do was ask the government to lend 2oo0 bucks, and all records would be broken in rushing the dough to us. It ain't so.
 The American Bankers Associa- tion has already said that. because of such transformation, some are under the impression that veteran loans carry with them little re- sponsibility of repayment. But they do
 The ABA. also says, "Unfor- tunately, there will be people ready to take the veteran and his money for a ride which has as it's desti- nation heartache, disillusionment, bitterness and debt"
 But if you just use your head and don't go into any scheme that

CHILD LIFE IS DISCUSSED AT
 JWC NOON MEET

Speaking at the Juneau Womans Club luncheon this noon, Miss Bess Williams, Regional Consulrant with the Federal Children's Bureau, De- partment of Labor, laid emphasis on the fact that a sense of belonging" is most essential to every child.
 A basic need of child life, she said, is the certain knowledge of security in the home and family, and the community responsibility is to help maintain the child in his own home, as well as provide ad- ditional resources not available to the child in the home.
 The war has naturally upset nor- maj family life. Miss Williams said, first with the father in many eases entering the armed forces or taking employment some place away from his home town, and secondly, with the mother going to work in war industries. These factors have all worked to the disadvantage of the children whose homes were So dis rupted, and much planning and work will be necessary in the future to overcome the damage already suffered.
 Mrs. Scott Murphy spoke briefly concerning the Boy and Girl Scout Drive which will be launched soon, and asked her listeners to consider their contributions as an invest ment in the boys and girls of today, who represent the future of their community and nation"
 Mrs. Ernest Gruening told of the results of the United Clothing Col lection Drive, and again asked for more volunteers to help with mend ing, sorting and packing in the A. B. Hall, which will be open after moons from l o'clock to , o'clock this week.
 Mrs. Ronald Lister gave a splen- did rendition of the song, Bless This House" and followed it with Brahms Lullaby" accompanied at the piano by Mrs Robert Treat.

HURLERS GIVE
 TIGERS, CUBS
 EARLY MARGIN
Trout Is Credited win Two. Shuiouts AIready-Ben-
 gals Also Gel Bingles
lnr Associsted rressl

If pitching in the early games tells the story, the Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs are headed for an October World Series date.
 While the Bengals have been skipping the ball at ,28l clip, Dizzy Trout, Al Benton and Hal Newhouser have been throttline their American League opponents with a measly l93 batting average.
 Six of Charley Grimm's Bruir hurlers have tossed complete win ming games in II starts and four of them have been five-hitters or lower. Tops in both circuits is the one-hit effort by Hank Wyse against Pittsburgh, spoiled only by Rookie Bill Salkelds eighth-inning single.
 The home run ball has not been troublesome to either Detroit or Chicago, the Tiger staff having blanked the long distance sluggerf and the Cubs yielded only pair. Every mound crew has given ur at least one circuit clout, except Steve O'Neills gang.
 Russ Derry belted half the New York Yankees total of eight hcmers, high in the American but their rivals across the Harlem River, the New York Giants, have collected 13 and the Boston Braves II, thanks to Butch Nieman and that shortened right field wall
 Nine shut-outs have been pitched in the National, three by Chicago with Claude Passeau, Bob Chip man and Wyse each contributing one. Of the seven hurled in the American, Detroit has three, two by Trout and one by Benton.
 Things were so tough during spring training days, Grimm had to borrow veterans Hod Lisenbee ano Guy Bush from the Reds so they could play an exhibition. Now his average of two moundsmen a day is not far behind the Brooklyn figure of IT pitchers in 10 con tests. Detroit used only 13 in nine tilts.
 Pittsburgh's slow start can be at triuted to failure of Frankie Frisch's tossers to go the route. with only three complete performances by Il starters.
 Yesterday was an open date in both leagues.
