PRIC'E FIVE CENTS Fraternities Report Theft Of Car, $371 Police Advise Internal Vigilance To Fight New Outbreak Acacia Reports Loss Of Automobile, $l5O Another epidemic of robberies was Oported .to the police &r -ing the last week.

In all the cases reported the thefts occurred in rooms close to stairs or in fraternity houses which employ the dormitory system. ' l'olice Advise Precaution Borough officials have suggested to the fraternities that they post a man to watch out for sneak thieves us the best way of combatting the outbreak. Personal guard by the officers of the house was also suggested to be sure that none of the members was respon sible for the robberies. Also recommended as a means of fighting the sneak thieves was the suggestion that the. fraternities lock their doors at 12 o'clock. Because of the number of strangers in the vari ous houses during big week-ends, spe ebtl vigilance should be taken to pre vent subsequent thefts.
