Girls Sought as Auto Theft Gang Leaders Bobbed-Haired Flapper* Be lieved “Brains"’ of State wide Ring Uncovered in Nebraska. Two bobbed-haired, winsome flap pera, of gc#>d family! are being sought by police as the brains of what they declare Is one of the big gest auto theft rings in the state. The girls, according to Police Capt. Jack Psranowskl, are only in the auto stealing business for the "kick” they get out of it. They have a circle of "sheiks” who do the work; and up to within a short time ago, according to police informa tion, the cars which they picked out to be stolen, were driven to a garage at Wilbur, Neb., where the numbers V. were changed, and from where they were later disposed of. 14 I ars Recovered. Discovery of the ring came with tile arrest of Ed Mares, proprietor of the garage, who is now at liberty on $10,000 bond, on information ob tained from I.eroy Reese and Charles Elliott, arrested on a charge of auto theft at Red Cloud, Neb., and turned over to Omaha police. As a result of their disclosures, Omaha police and state sheriffs al ready have recovered 14 stolen cars, and, according to Capt. Fszanowski, expect to recover 60 more. Concerning the identity of the two flappers, the ruling minds of the ring, Reese and Elliott, while admitting their existence, are mute. Parallel Case. Members of the auto theft bureau say that every effort on the part of police officials to bring about their capture Is being eluded with a cun ning worthy of a master mind of the underworld. _ Police point to a parallel case in Chicago, where a pretty girl, arrested following a series of big robberies, proudly informed the authorities that "My sheik gets 'em. Sometimes 1 have to use a gun on him, but he gets ’em.’’ Thirty-five cars were reported stol en in Omaha during June, and the auto theft bureau recovered 45. “Weeping Wrater"’ Cosily. B, O.

The Little GroOifl Is Comforted. “1 declare, I do believe you are one of the Grouse children!" exclaimed Whitefoot the Wood Mouse in his squeaky voice, after looking long and hard «t the Inst little Grouse, crouching in the end of the hollow log where she had planned to spend the night. “What ar^ you doing in here, my dear?" he continued. '•Where is your mother?" At the mention of her mother the young Grouse began to whimper. All her misery returned to her. “I—I don’t know," she faltered. “I—I—I'm lost." "Tell me about It." said Whitefoot. So the young Grouse told all about her troubles. Whitefoot didn’t say a word until she was all through. Then he gently scratched one of his round littlo ears. Then he scratched his nose with one of Ills little white feet. I He was trying to think of some way to help the younR Grouse. But the only help that he could think of then was to try to comfort her. '‘Don't, you worry any more to night, tny dear," said he "Just close your eyes and go to sleep. 1 shall Whltefoot turned and scampered out of the hollow log. be right here all night, and I'll keep watch.

But, my dear, hever again hide in a place in which there is only one way out. Perhaps tomorrow morning Mother Grouse will find you. Then all will he well. Vou know there is no one in all the Green Forest more timid than I, and there is no one with more enemies. That means that there is no one who has to keep a sharper watch for danger, so you may be sure that if there Is any danger 1 will kno® it and will warn you in time for you to escape. But I don't think there will he. No. sir, I'm sure there will not be. You are just as safe as though you. were under your mother's wing. Now I am going out after something to eat, hut I'll be right near." IVhitefoot turned and scampered out of the hollow log. The little Grouse was sorry to see him go. for somehow hts company made her less .fearful. But she was much comforted. •She felt better for just knowing that there was a friend close at hand. You see, much of heV fright had come just from lonesomeness. Now, know ing that Whltefoot was close at hand, she felt much less lonesome. So, because she wai quite worn out, she very soon went to sleep. Whitefoot went about hia business, and his business was filling that little stomach of his. But every now and then he peeped in to see that the little Grouse was all right. It tickled him to think that he, Whitefoot, the ,r most timid little fellow in the Green Forest, was actually keeping guard over some one else. It gave him a sense of importance which was new and strange to him. It wag a very delightful feeling. (Copyright. 1*22.)
