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.

He found it in South Omaha.

when he failed to appear to answer a
charge of drunkenness.

—Old Mother Nature.
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

Shadow in 'his part of the Green
Forest for ever and ever so long.
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.
