This is the reasoning behind

ellis "Order No. l." It requires
all employees to work from 8 am.

With Chatter

A quick-thinking beautician
out-witted a holdup man last
night with a line. of chatter.
The man entered the Elise
Beauty Shop at BATS Fourteenth

Burton, 81, of 228 Morgan street

manager was.
She pointed out the proprietor,
Mrs. Grace Benjamin of 3547
Tenth street NV.
The holdup man approached
Mrs. Benjamin with pistol in
his hand and told her to "hand
over the money"
Playing for time, Mrs. Benja-
min said vaguely to Mrs. Burton:
"Why, where is the money!"
Then she answered herself: ''It's
in the drawer in back"
Just then another beautician,
Mrs. Mary johnson, 80, of AIS
Twenty-f1rst street NE, came
out Of a booth and without notic-
ing the bandit headed for the
back of the store.
The gunman followed Mrs.
johnson and Mrs. Burton slipped
out the front door and ran to a
drugstore across the street. When
the door slammed the bandit
chased her but when she refused
to stop he fed.
None Of the ten customers in
the booths was aware of the
goings-on. The money was in a
cash register within a foot of
where the holdup man had stood.

NEW YORK. Feb. Sunday

Philadelphia handle the docking

The strikers are members OF

In all cases, military cargoes
seemed free to move. The union
promised in New York that they
would not be hindered.
In Norfolk, the union local
said no Army or Navy ships
would be serviced, but the Navy
said it would be able to handle
the situation.
In Philadelphia, the Central

The New York employers hao
countered with a five per cent

Appointments Broken.
Police said their search for
Mr.. Cox got underway when
several businessmen who had
appointments with him started
telephoning him at his hotel to
see why he did not keep the
engagements.
Mrs. Cox said she originally
was concerned because her hus-
band was suffering from high
blood pressure and she wanted
to be sure he was all right. Then,
as his disappearance continued,
she was sure he had met with
foul play. She said he never
stayed away more than "a hours

calling her or his Office.
She said he was not depressed
about his health and had been
looking forward to running his
new business in Washington.
The Philadelphia detectives

whether any money had been
withdrawn by Mr.. Cox from
Philadelphia banks since they
are closed on Saturday and rec
