Enter The Shoplifter By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

Women in Farm Regions to Form Organization (By Associated F'tpsji) CHICAGO. Nov. 14. The first effort fo organize farm women on a national scale, according to headquarters of ih American Farm Bureau Federation, will be made at its annual conention in Atlanta Nov. 21-23. Each

: laie farm bureau federation has beenl

:sked, for the first time, to send at least one representative farm woman and these will try to work out a plan for affiliating women in farm bureau w ork. Rural school improvement, community centers, better country- churches :ind social co-opera tipn are some of the things the women have in view.

NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 14 At this season of the year. New York department stores Increase the size of their detective forces in order to coinbat the ever growing number of thoughtful persons -who begin their shoplifting early. From now until after Christmas, shoplifting will proceed at a bold and furious pace. Tiu? women's court will be kept busv hearing the cases of light-fingered ladies caught at Inopportune moments, while the large Fifth Avenue stores will lose thousands of dollars worth of goods to others, who wT.l successfully get away with it. This is always the case. The annual depredations of shoplifters are regarded as an inevitable calamity which no mercantile establishment, however resourceful, can hope to escape. And this year the stores anticipate greater difficulties from this source than ever before, because of the new styles in sleeves. You may have observed that tho new feminine sleeve is a voluminous, drooping bell-shaped affair, possessing tremendous possibilities for ladies who are clever with their fingers. It is going to be extremely easy to hide stuff in the recesses of a sleeve which trails obligingly all over the counter when tho wearer puts her hand down. We saw it done only the other day. A plump, agile hand, accompanied by one of these dangling sleeves, glided quickly along a counter covered with feminine lingerie, then paused for several seconds while, the

fingers examined the texture of the silk. When the hand moved again it was in swift upward flight, presumably to adjust a slight discrepancy in the owner's lace collar. "There, you see how easy it is.' said the salesgirl who had given the demonstration, as she removed a pink silk undergarment from the sleeve. "You didn't see me do that even though you were -watching, and think howmuch simpler it would be to stuff my sleeve- in the confusion of a Christmas crowd. That's why ve have got to be so particular and insist upon customers keeping their arms off thj counters." A Store Detective. The interesting information was corroborated by one of the store detectives, a tall, sleek-faced individual, who so well looked his part that one did not see how any shoplifter could fail to notice and avoid him. "There is no doubt but that the new styles are all in favor of the shoplifter," he said. "But. of course, we're gonna watch 'em. And then we've got our own system. They dort get away with as much as they used to." We pressed for details. "By what astute methods are shoplifters prevented from running off with the store?" we inuired. "Oh. we get to know a lot. of tho professionals by their looks'' the detective replied. "And there's usually something about theni to excite suspicion. One thing and another. "Well, there's the store aisles, for instance. Notice how wide the aisles are in this 'store? That ain't tor beauty and it ain't for comfort. It's because the light fingered Lizzies don't like them. They prefer the narrow, crowded aisles where they ain't so likely to be seen." This was all the information we could drag forth. The "system" it seemed, was a secret formula which had to be carefully guarded. If the!

shoplifters got wise to it, it would be useless. To make up for his Inability to gratify my curiosity in this respect, however, our friend showed

an eager willingness to discuss other important matters. He gave us, in elaborate detail, his private views on the Disarmament conference; dwelt upon the carelessness with which the mails were handled, and explained the most dramatic plays in the late world scries. Finally, when he had talked himself into a good humor and we were nearly in a state of coma, he allowed himself to be steered gingersback to the subject of his own secret acctivities. "Lot me see," he said cautiously, stroking his long jaw; "the case of Gabrielle Lemaire was in the newspapers, so there can't be no harm in teling that. Mind, T don't say it happened in this store, but it shows the kind of schemes every store is contantly having put over on it." Not long ago, it seems, a certain store became aware that it was losing a good deal of valuable merchandise to an extremely clever young woman. She was attractively and fashionably dressed, and always made a favorable impression upon the sales force. Representing herself to be the possessor of a large account, the number of which she gave, she would order goods sent to her supposed address and then, at the la:-t moment, decide to tr.ke a few packages with her. because she could not wait to have them rent. The goods, later delivered to the true owner of the charge account, were immediately returned, so that store was not long ignorant of the fact, .that it had been defrauded. The case was referred to the store detective, who at once became concerned with one uestion: How did the youn,? woman know the numbers of other person's charge accounts? TTndoubtccljy, she must have an accomplice working in the store. How Thieves Were Caught. It was a cut-toroer who finally brought the accomplice to light. On day, when this lady was amazed to receive a number of unipquested packages from a second store, she called the manager on the telephone. "I am sorry," that, gentleman replied to her complaint. "It is tho first case of tho kind we have had here, althorj'h I understand it has happened a guod many times in a neighboring houfe. They suspect that one of their employes is involved, since only someone connected with the store could know the numbers of so many different accounts. 'Oh' cried the lady, thinking rapidly, "I'll bet it is that nice-looking, friendly clerk, who wears such artistic ties. I gave him tne number of my account at your tore by mistake the other clay, ;nd then changed it to the correct number at his sterv. explaining my mistake." An investigation proved that this voting lady was right in her suspicion. The young man in question had been supplying his attractive young wife with name:-;, addresses and numbers of various charge accounts and the scheme had worked beautifully, and might have continued to do so, had he not made a fatal slip by sending her to the other store. Both the clerk and his wife ar now serving a term in Blackwell's Island. Most shoplifters, according to the aforementioned store detect he, con-

Kivurea oy me shoplifting sisterhood. One woman, apprehended during the Christmas rush of last year, had nine strings of beads concealed about her person, each of which was worth about $15. Another woman, arrested for taking an expensive umbrella, told with great gusto how a few dava before she had calmly walked out of a store with an unpaid for suit on. the pockets of which contained a bracelet and a silver vanity case "lifted" from the jewelry counter. One of tbe most irritating things about the professional shoplifter, says our friend, the detective, is her usually brilliant histronic ability. When caught in the act of stealing, she is apt to throw5 an emotional fit. tearfully appealing to the women shoppers sbout her, mention her little children who are dependent upon her, speak of the shame her arrest will cause her dear old uncle who is a clergyman, and otherwise prey upon the sympathies of the crowd until it looks upon the lone male detective as really the guilty party, and the shoplifter the innocent victim. "It takes nerve to stand your ground in such a situation," he declared, "but then if you didn't have nerve yot; wouldn't be a detective."

Mayor-elect Fred Kohler. In 1913 Fred Kohler, called "the best police chief in America" by President Roosevelt, was ousted as chief. The day after he was dismissed from the force he announced that the people of his home town, Cleveland, Ohio, would some day elect him mayor. He immediately began his fight for rehabilitation in the eyes of his townsmen. At the recent election he was elected mayor over six other candidates without the aid cf he party machine. He ran as an independent Republican.

Watch how your teeth respond

This ten-day test has shown to millions the way to whiter, safer teeth. It is a free test-ou should make it. No other method known can do what Pepsodent does for teeth. To end the film The object is to fight the film, which dims the eeth and causes most tooth troubles. Dental .cience has worked years to do that. Film is that viscous coat you feel. It clings to eeth, enters crevices and stays. The ordinary tooth jaste does not combat it satisfactorily, so brushng leaves much of it intact. It is the film-coat that discolors, not the teeth. 7ilm is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Thus all these troubles have been constantly increasing, despite the tooth brush. How we combat it Dental science, after years of searching, has found r.-ays to combat film. High authorities have proved Ihem by clinical and laboratory tests. The best dental opinion now approves these methods. Leading dentists everywhere are urging

their adoption. Millions of people, as a result, now employ them daily. The methods are combined in a dentifrice called Pepsodent And a 10-Day Tube is offered free, so all who will may quickly know how much it means to them. Five much desired effects One ingredient of Pepsodent is pepsin. Another multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva to digest the starch deposits which cling and form acid. It also multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva, to neutralize the acids which cause tooth decay Two factors directly attack the film. One of them keeps teeth so highly polished that film cannot easily adhere. 1 Pepsodent combines the best that modern science knows to combat the great tooth destroyers. It has brought a nevr era in teeth cleaning. Watch it act Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the viscous film. See how teeth whiten as the nlm-coat disappears. You will see several new effects, and the book we send will tell you what they mean. This is too important to forget. Cut out the coupon now
