NEW YORK UPI — Katie Lewin has built a successful career out of puzzling people. She markets jigsaw puzzles different from most of the intricate cutouts in that hers reproduce great art works. “When other women ask me how to start a business,” said Mrs. Lewin, mother of two, “I tell them first find a need for what you’re hoping to sell. But explore and research the possibilities thoroughly. Talk with friends at parties, with your neighbors, for their views. “I think women are a natural for some businesses . . . women are naturally creative.” Mrs. Lewin’s formula began with the centuries-old popularity of jigsaws. She said it’s believed the pharoahs of ancient Egypt even worked them. They were a big fad in the United States in the 1930’s, but it wasn’t until two years ago that Mrs. Lewin started making them—“I was looking for some-

thing part-time.”

The project grew from the day her husband, Robert, a printing company executive, returned from a London trip with some circular puzzles for their daughter, Laurie, now 21, and a senior at Colby College. The British-made puzzles Interlocked b e a u t i fully and when Mrs. Lewin decided to go into puzzles she got pernoission to adapt the British cutting mechanism for her production line. The name of her company, Springbok, in turn came from wood cutouts of the African springbok, or gazelle, which her husband bought on another trip. The time for her puzzles was right, she believes, because “people have more leisure time and there’s this vast boom in

fine art.”

Mrs. Lewin, who worked on the Pontiac, Mich., Daily Press before her marriage, decided the art reproductions should be done as faithfully as possible.

I said, “but they like the idea . . . they’re subtly educating people.”

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Police today searched for three gunmen who escaped with an estimated $200,000 in jewelry taken during a daylight robbery of the William P. Nichols Inc. jewelry store in downtown Indianapolis Wednesday. No customers were in the store on the ninth floor of a building at 15 E. Washington St., owner William Nichols, 32, said, when one man entered the store, pulled a gun and pushed

it into his ribs.

Nichols said two other gunmen then entered the store and stripped four counters of diamond rings. Of the latter two, one wore a white handkerchief over his face and the other, a

halloween mask.

The first bandit forced Nich-
