MUCH SHOPLIFTING IN NEW
YORK CITY
- A great epidernic• of shoplifting
has been iweeping New York, and
private detective agencies emproyed
by a chain of big establishments re-
port that never in their knowledge
have there been so many thefts as
at the present -time.
All sorts of explanations are of-
fered. Some say a curious break-
down in moral perceptions, due to
Bolshevik tendemcies which. "recog
-
nize no right of property," and the
annihilation of ethical standards re-
sulting from the war, is chiefly to
blame. Others lay it to the desire
for extravagant dress amorlig women.
Unable to pay the high prices de:
mended for articles desired for ad
ornament, many women steal thein.
But•in any case, it is a• mistake.:
according to the head of a big pro
tectiye association, to assume that
all shoplifters belong in the petty
ciass of offenders. Some live in
comfort and apparent respectability
on their incomes, carrying on their
calling with all the care and ability
.
which their more honorable neigh
bors devote to honest pursuits.
It is not unusual for them to own.
'automobiles. Not a few live at the
best hotels, and there is nothing in
their appearance or manner of living
to indicate the thief. They keep
regular hours, and some, like a New
York woman recently arrested, in-
vest their savings. One New York
woman owned a • big apartment
house • and when not. engaged
in shoplifting was to be seen
collecting rents and attending to
other details incident to the .owner-
ship of valuable property.
•• A person not acquainted with the
proms of the police may ask why,
if the habits of these people are so
well known, they are mot arrested 'at
once, but- there are a great many
obstacles in the way.
Being possessed of means they are,
in the first place, protected by high-
priced lawyers. One woman in New
York recently placed on trial, for
instance, engaged one of the best
known attorneys of the city to def
feird her, and paid him $6,000, it is
said, for his services.
Then, of course, a person accused
of shoplifting must be caught in. the
act if there is to be any hope of
conviction. A suspect may have a
police record, but this in its'elf is not
always sufficient to justify arrest.
Many persons once convicted of
crime make efforts, to reform, and
'it is in the interests ef society for
the law to encourage them in this.
A great many of the suspects know
this as well as anybody, and put up
a great show of virtue and indigna-
tion when interfered with by the po
lice, solely because of their record. '
Finally, of course,there is always
the danger of ,a mistake and a dam-
age suit, and this most department
stores and merchants try earnestly
to avoid.
The extraordinary increase in
shoplifting cases recently experi-
enced by some of the big stores in'
New York has added to the difficul-
ties of the detectives and protective
agencies, and has intensified interest
not only in the causes of the growth
rn crime, but in the methods em-
plbyed by- the pilferers.
Not many days ago a stir was
catised in the rooms of one of the
protective associations by the news
that a certain Mrs. N- had been
seen in one of the department stores.
Now this Mrs. N is a well known
character and her method of work-
ing in other cities has been marked
by the fact that she always took her
husband and, child with her. There
was nothing in their appearance on
these occasions to make one suspect
they were out on a looting expedi-
tion. The woman is fairly good
looking, neat in dress and quiet in
behaviour. 'The husband is tall, with
frank features and looked on these
outings like a business man who had
left his office to accompany his wife
and child on a shopping tour. The
child was prettily attired and lent a
touch of domesticity to the pil-
grimage.
According to the detectives. the
woman, who is the leader and -brains
of the trio, always laid out the plan
of operations; and once arrived at
the store selected for the day's op-
erations would assign places on; the
outside where her husband and child
were to wait for her. The woman
would returnto her husband and
child and deliver into their keepihg
the goods she had stolen. Frequently
she would make several trips, return-
ing each time with the results of her
forage to her husband and child.
4'his woman has been arrested in
other cities and her method of work-
ing was pretty well known; but so
skilful had she aluays been in dis-
posing of her stuff before being
caught that she invariably escaped
with a fine, or managed, with the
aid of lawyers, to defeat conviction.
When the news reached the head-
quarters of the protective associa-
tion, several men were at once de-
tached to trail her, and gather suf-
ficient evidence to cause her arrest
and conviction for a long term. This
woman; is said to be one of a number
who make about $50,000 a year out
of their stealings.
Another woman theif was des-
cribed who applied the highest type
of business methods to her ,opera-
tions. She had two "display rooms"
at a hotel, where she collected her
stolen goods. Hung neatly on racks
the wares presented the appearance
of one of the departments of a big
general merchandise establishment.
She would bring her "customers" to
these rooms and sell the articles at
prices which, while well below those
asked on the market, yielded her
handsome profits. As she always
tended to the cleaning of the rooms
herself, the maids in the hotel were
never permitted to enter, and the ,
character of the establishment was
not revealed until a detective chanc-
ed to come across a confederate of

medicine relieved me when I had
given up hope of ever being well.
I was a terrible sufferer from
DysPepsia-had suffered for years;
and nothing I took did me any good.'

the woman, who was carrying a
suitcase filled with loOt to the
"store." A few days before she was
arrested she had sold for $350 mer-,
chandise priced originally at $2,500.
In the "album of rouges" pre-
served by the protective association
werg. the pictures of a man and a
girl. The record showed that this
pair had been able to operate in and
around New -York for fifteen years
before being sent to prison recently.
The man. wasaconnoisseur in etch-
ings, laces, furs and fine grades of
merchandise. He owned 'a pretty
farm, for which he had paid $6,000
without improvements, and passed
among his neighbors as a respectable
man of quiet habits with a private
income.
Then there was the wife of a Man-
hattan' druggist. This woman. and
her sister generally worked together.
Her sister is the, wife of the owner
tef a tailoring establishment in the
city. The records showed thit the
two women invariably started out
on their ;expeditions in a big touring
car which they -would also use to
carry off their loot. The amount of
stuff they managed to collect' each
day without detection was astound-
ing.
One device employed by them was
simple. One of the women ,.woulld
• carry under her -arm a box a little
: larger than that used to pack shoes.
the box was covered with wrapping
paper and bound -with twine. Un-
der casual inspection. this box seem-
. ed to be closed on all sides, but by
a simple trick one of the ends work-
ed on a flap, past which'it was easy
to slip the stolen articles. One wo-
man would pick out a fine silk gar-
ment which was easy to fold and
casually compress it into the small-
est possible size while pretending to
look over articles on the counter.
Her sister would keep watch at the
elevator to see if any member of
the stored -twee was looking. Then , at
an opportune moment the article
would be whisked with lightning
speed into the innocent -looking box,
which, with its wrapping paper and
twine, seemed ' to be as securely
bound as before. Trip after trip
would be . made to - the fine, big
touring car, which was kept - stand-
ing at the' curb some distance from
the store. ,
Apparently, however, other strata-
gems Were used, for when the home
of the woman was finally visited by,
detectives articles were found there
which could not have been taken off
in the box. Apparently the bulk of
the furnishings in the house had
been stolen. Expensive hangings,
pictures, art objects, and expensive
articles of a bewildering variety
were found, /and all, it was said, had
been stolen. Rarely in their experi-
ence had the detective come upon
such a find.
One of the women finally was ar-
ested for stealing a $250 coat, She
was taken to the police station where
for hours she fought off the efforts
of the detectives to force a confes-
sion, and it was not until .a police-
man telephoned that he had cap-
tured her automobile that she finally

ONE WOMAN'S
EXPERIENCE

Of Interest to Childless
Women.
, 'Toronto, Ontario. - " I suffered for a
g time from a female weakness, in -
=nation, and a terrible backache
caused -by that condition. One day one
f your booklets was left at my door, -and
read how other women with troubles;
e mine had been rnade well, so I got a
ottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Pempound and a package of Sanative
Wash, and it helped me wonderfully,
and I now have the finest little baby hoy
that any mother could want. I want to
'recommend Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vege-
table Compound to any woman who has
female troubles." - Mrs. JOSEPH LA
BELLA, 773 Shaw Street, Toronto, On-
tario, Canada.
The experience of Motherhood is a
trying one to most women and marks
distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not
one woman in a hundred is prepared or
understands how to properly care for
heraelf. Every Amman at this time
should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, a most valuable
tonic and invigorator of the female
organism.
In many homes once childlem there
are now children because of the fact
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound makes women normal,
healthy and strong, and this good old
fashioned root and herb remedy con-
tains nonarcotics or harmful drugs.

But amazing as are cases such as
those mentioned above, of which the
police and detective records are full
to overflowing, the majority of the
thefts at the present time are com
mitted by so-called amateurs. "And
the amateurs certainly have risen to
their opportunities with a venge-
ance," said the chief detectiv,e of one
of the big department stores. "I
have been here for twelve years and
I have never known so much shop-
lifting It is simply amazing. If -
you ask me to explain it I can only
say that 1 ctnnot do it. I am con-
vinced, though, that the radical ten-
dences of the day have something to
da with it. Why, only the other day
we arrested a smartly dressed youth
who was either a Bolshevik or a
lunatic, I do not know Which. He
carried a Bible and was not a bit
disturbed when we nailed him. He
had been stealing some things and
admitted it without hesitation when
we got him into the office. When I
asked him why he had stolen the
things he replied that he did not be-
lieve in the rights of property, mid
that as he could not afford: to pay
for the things he wanted he simply
took them.
"'Why, I've furnished my room
with the things I've taken, without
paying for,' he boasted."
MACSWINEY'S FAST IS NOT
A RECORD
"Who is feeding MacSwiney ? I is
a question that is said -to be interest-
ing many people in England and else_
where, for the belief that somehow
somebody is "slipping him something"
appears to be growing. The Horne
Office announces that so far as it is;
aware MacSwiney is not being fed
but Since a veritable procession passes
in and out of his bedroom, it is man-
ifest that food could be conveyed to
him, especially since the authorities
would be only too glad to have him
eat, and would willingly close their
eyes to the fact if he aria his friends
desired that he should be privately
nourished, while keeping up before
the, outside world the pretense of
martyred starvation. The fact that
Mr. MacSiViney and the other Sinn
Fein prisoners have now fasted more
than forty days, which was Dr. Tan-
ner's record, and that they still have
strength enough to send forth mes-
sages to their friends, and -indulge in
spirited conversation is taken as evi-
dence that the hunger strike is not
strictly on., the level.
How long can the human body
hold together without food? It is
difficult to say what is the record
of abstention, but the most celebrat-
ed case is that of Ann Moor, of Tut -
bury, . Staffordshire, England, who
ate nothing for nearly three years.
The authority who vouches for the
case of Ann Moore is ,Dr. Robert
Taylor, a member' of tke Royal Col-
lege of Surgeons and Physicians,
who presents in an interesting pam-
phlet the. testimony of other medical
men and 'witnesses of this remark-
able fast. Miss Moor began to fast
on November 4th, 1806, and ate no-
thing from that time until July,
1809. Some time in the winter of
1807 she pattook of a raisin or two,
and for a ..time took a few drops of
water daily, but this distressed her
and for many months no food or
drink in any form was given to her.
Occasionally her lips would be
sponged with a damp cloth. She did,
however, indulge freely in snuff, and
insisted always on being in a cur-
rent of fresh air.
Death ended thefast, but whether
Ann Moor died because she ate
nothing or because of the illness
which first induced her to starve
herself we cannot say. One would
be inclined to argue that if she
could live without food for nearly -
three years she could continue in-
definitely. Those who advocate 'long
abstention from food as a cure for
disease declare that so long as the
body does not crave food it is quite
safe to go without eating; and all
who have tasted for any length of
time agree that after the first two
or three days the "hungbr habit"
disappears. They declare that eat-
ing is ra'rgely a habit,but when once
N
it is broken no pain is endured, and
that there will be no hunger until
the disease, having been eliminated,
nature sends out her signal again,
and eating may be resumed.
A fast to be compared with
that of Miss Moor's, but still of much
greater duration than the famous
Tanner test, was that of George E.
Davis, a patient of the noted Dr.
Dewey, who advocated abstention
from food -for almost every disorder.
He went 4ithout food for sixty-one
days, and says that he had no de-
sire for food from the third to the
fortieth day of his fast. His weight
decneased from 228 to 174 pounds.
He testified: "I am cured of paraly-
sis. My strength is normal, my di-
gestion perfect, my vision strong. I
have no dread of a second stroke,
I 'have been working in ' St. Paul,
Minn., ten miles from my home and
make the trip to and from daily.
I am more robust than since my
boyhood." Another patient of Dr.
Dewey's was George W. Tuthill, of
Minneapolis, and he went without
eating for forty-one days, emerging
in the flyweight class.
Ten years ago Upton Sinclair, au-
thor of "The Jungle," published a
series of articles upon the question
of fasting, and cited the case of
Richard Fausel, of North Dakota,
who fasted for seventy-eight days,
reducing his bulk from 385 pounds
to normal. Mr. Sinclair, himself,.
'often fasts. It is, in his opinion, the
only rational and certain way to re-
cover from the assaults of disease.
The idea is that to go without food
is to "starve the disease." Other
people claim to have been cured of
appendicitis, rheumatism and various
ailments by stopping their food al-
lowance, and there is as -general be-
lief that even when complete ab-
stention is not resorted to, to cut
down on meals is often a valuable
corrective of many disorders, espe-
cially those of the stomach. How-
ever, this really does not answer the
question: "Who is feeding Mac -
Swiney?" nor the still more pertin-
ent question: "Why?"
