WOMAN SCORNS GUN, ROUTS
BURGLAR BAND BY SHRIEKS
Homo Quartet Puts on Impromptu Opera in A Flat.
Marauders Flee Without Taking Loot Collected
Sirs, Max Olnsburg's lungs were the
undoing of four armed burglars at 4
o'clock this mo'rnlng.
A band of motor thieve drove up to
the Glnsburg tailoring establishment,
Fifth and Titan streets, nbout that hour
and entered tho place by kicking in a
side door.
After th.v had piled up several hun
dred dollars' worth of cloth in the front,
of the shop, one burglar opened a rear
door to take the goods out to the
machine.
That was the first faux pas.
An electric burglar alarm, attached
to the dopr.'went into nctlon nnd Mrs.
Glnsburg, in the npartnicnt above, wan
awakened.
Did Not Ncrtl Revolver
"Max. get the pistol," she shouted to
her husband.
Max grabbed the weapon nnd offered
it to his spouse. She looked at the thing
and then decided that she did not
need It.
Making her way to a window, Mrs.
Glnsburg opened It and began a mid
night serenade that went something
like this:
"Murder I Police! Help! Ilurglarsi"
Ilnr son, Herger, nppcared witli the
family ordnnnce nnd aimed at one ot
the fleeing burglars.
"Click," went the piece. Hut noth
ing happened. It wasn't londed.
.Then Merger joined in the family
chorus with a couple of shrill "murders'
In high C.
Ilotli Sides Itctrcal
Frieda and Max then appeared at
the window and the four nitulo the
"Anvil Chorus" sound like a kinder
garten chanting nursery rhyme.
The burglar quartet had reached their
automobile by tills time and two fired a
few shots Into the air.
The Glnsburg family made a united
ictreat front the window and tho
burglars drove off.
Nothing was taken from the shop.

CORRECT LINES AND
GREAT COMFORT
CANTILEVER SHOES
(No. 57) fulfill all the
requirements laid down
by the Y. W. C. A.
The National Y.W.C.A.,
in the interests of its
many thousands of
mcjnbers, made a thor
ough study of women's
footwear and reported
that p r o p e r shoes
should have
1. A straight inner1 sole line,
conforming to tho out
line of the foot and per
mitting the toes to point
. straight ahead ns they do
in a natural, easy posture.
2. Room for the toes with
out crowding.
3. A broad, low heel, set to
share the weight of the
body with the ball nnd
the outside of the foot.
1. A flexible shank, allow
ing action of the arcli
muscles. Far from re
straining tho instep, as
metal supports do, a'
flexible shank bends with
the foot and allows per
fect freedom. On the
other hand, the arch of
the shoo should bo
shaped to meet the foot
at every point, so ns to
provide the necessary
support to the small
bones of tho instep.
CANTILEVER SHOES
combine every one of
these characteristics. In
addition, there are such
details as a broad
padded tongue to permit
snug lacing without binding
the muscles.
Expertly fitteu by cour
teous salesmen. We guar
antee to fit you absolutely
or jour money refunded.
