WATCH! The Pretty Girl Behind In The Street Car. During the past year thirty-seven different people have been robbed on jammed Sunday street cars in the cities of the Calunret region. The police have been unable to make a single arrest. THE TIMES has a clue to the perpetrators. At least this is the way the "dips", work. They consist of a man and a very slender and pretty girl and their work is extremely clever. The work is done in a crowd, often on entering a train or street car. The man stands behind the young and beautiful. woman, who places herself behind the victim. The pickpocket then pushes his accomplice forward against the victim and she places her hands on his shoulders. No man objects to being snuggled up to a pretty girl. The piekp&cket then places both arms around the woman from the rear and goes .through the victim's pockets. If tire victim suspects he is being robbed but is too crowded to make an examination, a glance at the beautiful and innocent looking girl behind him with her hands on his shoulders, makes him feel that he is mistaken. Having secured their plunder, the two then back out of the crowd and make ttosir get-away. Next time you get on a packed street car, watch the pretty girl standing up behind you.

And, dear mayor, will you kindly help me to keep my dog from getting shot She has two little babies and they are so cute, riease do not let her get shot by the policeman.
