BURGLARS CLIMAX BUSY WEEK WITH SERIESOFTHEFTS Police Map Out Plan Used to Get Into Homes in North Side, A thorough search is Wing made by police today to locate burglars who climaxed a we est of activities on the north side with a series of week-end burglaries that netted them a large amount of jewelry and money. Police were inclined to believe two colored men operate in an automobile. Most of the burglaries were committed before midnight Saturday. A five-eighths chisel was used, police said. After a preliminary investigation it is thought that, while one man would ring the doorbell to ascertain whether any one was home, his partner would jimmy a window. Neville Crowder, 2625 N. New sey St., reported his home entered during his absence Saturday night, the house ransacked and $669 in jewelry taken. Windows Pried According to police, a burglar en tered the bedroom of Mrs. Catherine Waddell, 2140 College Ave., while she was in the kitol en. Jewelry and cash totaling $117.50 were taken. The robbery was not discovered until Mrs. Waddell noticed a screen had been pried from a window. Jewelry, cash and foreign coins, all valued at $217, were obtained by burglars who entered through an unlocked window in the home of David Nicoson, 2629 N. New Jersey St., Saturday. The home of Mrs. Sam Griggs, 1910 Park Ave., was ransacked Saturday by burglars who obtained $2. Entrance was gained by prying open a window. Charles Waohstetter. 2404 Broadway. reported his house ransacked but j nothing taken. Robbers, Frustrated The home of 1. M. Cole. 2931 N. j Delaware St., was entered last week, i during absence of the family, and jewelry valued at $25 taken, according to police, A pay telephone was taken from the ( White Rose gasoline filling station. Twenty-Fifth and Medidian Sts., by burglars who gained entrance by breaking a small pane out of a window. It is thought an attempt to rob the home of John Pantzer, 2118 N. Ala bama St., was frustrated Saturday by Mrs. Pantzer, who telephoned police \fter a colored man had rung the doorbell and inquired for a mythical “Mr. ; Talbot.” When asked what they wanted, two I men.fled after attempting to pry open j a window at the home of John O'Mai | ley, 2464 Broadway, according to po- 1 lice. An attempt is being made to deter mine whether it was the intention of a man to rob the home of Paul Payne, i 3255 Park Ave., early Sunday. He ,-ursed Mr. Payre, who answered a i summons to the door. Police think it : might have been a ruse to ascertain j whether any one was home.

A Practical Treatment —For— Hemorrhoids and Other Ailments In about three years of study, I have discovered a remedy whioh produces indubitable results for the treatment of the worst chronic long-stand-ing cases of all Phases of Piles without any particular pain. There is no longer any necessity for the patient to be operated on under an anesthetic for Tile removal, and without contraction or nerve irritation afterwards from cicatricial tissue. Indeed, piles usually can be eliminated very readily. Statistics show that 83 per cent of adults have some form of rectal disease nnd many of that number have suffered for years. Come in and see me about your affliction. I am thoroughly familiar with all rectal ailments. Including piles. DR. J. W. BKECHEY 423-24 K. of P. Bldg. Indianapolis, Ind. —Advertisement. I

A Puzzle a Day

A merchant bought a fur coat for S2OO and sold it for $250. What per cent profit did he make on the coat? Yesterday’s answer: j , r 2feet each Hep T*l ► Chet —- L A?:." A3 ufr&sd liWe^kH, Os. The monkey caught the weasel at the end of the twenty-eighth hop, at corner “D” of the carpenter’s bench. At first thought, 18 would seem the answer; for in 18 hops of„a foot and a half each, the weasel would cover 27 feet; while the monkey, with his two-foot hops would cover 36, and thus overcome the weasel’s lead of 9 feet. But the bench is only three feit wide; the weasel thus passes each end in two jtimps; and the monkey’s longer jumps give him no advantage, as it takes him two hops also. The monkey is five of his hops behind the weasel at the start; and he gains one f;op each time the weasel travels the length of the bench. When the wees'l has completed two circuits in 24 hops, the monkey is one hop behind, and makes it up in 4. CLUB ASKSJAX_ REMOVAL Motorist Organization Seeks to Kill Tariff on Autos and Trucks.
