EXTRA POLIGE CUT CAPITAL HOLD-UPS One Bandit Victim Reported. Three Stores Entered by Robbers. The 200 extra policemen who pa- trolled the streets last night following an outbreak of petty hold-ups and burglarfes accomplished their purpose on the first night of the new detail | anyhow, no matter what difficulties may be encountered later. Only one hold-up was reported, and that involved a small amount. George Odian of 1204 Sixth street southwest reported he was robbed of | $3.20 by two colored “fares” whom he picked up in his taxicab and drove to Terra Cotta and Blair roads northeast | last night. The men flourished guns, | Odian said, and went through his pock- | ets before driving away in his cab. Po- | lice expected to recover the vehicle this | morning from a description furnished | by Odian. | Glassford Due Back Today. | | 'The emergency patrol system, insti- | tuted by Inspector E. W. Brown when a wave of lesser crimes swept the city, | will come under the scrutiny of Brig. | Gen. Pelham Glassford today on the re- | turn of the superintendent of police | | after a vacation in the South. Detectives on duty at headquarters ' shortly before last midnight wete sur- prised when a man who descriked him- self as James Wesley Davis, 30, a paint- er, of no fixed address, came in and volunteered the information, police say, that he robbed a store in the 400 block of Eleventh street of $30 Saturday night. When the man's story was found to tally with records of reported rob- beries, he was booked for investigation and locked up last night at No. 1 pre- cinct. Boy’s Confession Claimed. With the arrest last night of a 14- year-old colored boy at No. 11 precinct, Detective J. F. Boxell claimed to have solved almost a score of recent rob- beries in the Northeast section. The youth, Walter Childs, of the 1300 block of Forty-ninth street north- east, is said to have confessed to many of the robberies. A robber broke a show window at the tailoring establishment of Abraham Davidson, 312 Sixth street northeast, and stole clothing valued at $40 last night. Surglars in the store of Bore Updoff, 429 Taylor street, entered by forcing the lock on the front door, the mer- chant informed the police, and stole a quantity of cigarettes, two hams and $2 in cash. Break Doors in Store. ‘The burglars who visited Naiman's Haberdashery, 337 Pennsylvania ave- nue, last night apparently made door- crashing their specialty. After gaining entrance by forcing a side door, the robbers broke open three other doors inside the building. Once inside, they enlarged their wardrobes by stealing shirts, collars, ties, socks | and similar merchandise valued at $75. Burglars also broke into the apart- ment of Dorothy Craig, 1725 Seventh street, and carried away a radio and clothing worth $150, she told police. Agnes B.

But as | drew nearer the whole illusion was ruined. What a tragedy—her skin! How | longed to tell her about a daily treatment | learned from a famous expert. * * * Don't ever let your skin reach the “tragic” stage. No woman has the right to do that these days.You'd be surprised what a little time and the right kind of daily care will do to keep your skin supple and youthful . . . free of blemishes. Here, for instance, is a two-minute treatment: Use your hands to massage a lather of Palmolive Soap and warm water into the skin. Work it in, gently. Then rinse away lather, dirt and oil . . . with warm water, followed by cool. For dry skin, a little olive oil at night. In the morning, your regular make-up. But never, never—till after this correct foundation cleansing! Read the text in the panel at the right: “Beauty In a Test Tube.” It tells you why 20,000 beauty experts endorse the above treatment. Tired — try this pick-up bath Shave a cake of Palmolive into 4 cups of water and heat it until the soap has completely dissolved. Then, pour this amber liquid into half a tubful of tepid water. Let this ca- ressing bath enfold you—enrich and revive your skin. Then, massage your entire body with the lather from another cake of Palmolive. Rinse it off and rise, refreshed, from the most soothing beauty treatment you can imagine. You'll find your- self wanting to don a smart frock—go places—do things! For the next ten days won’t you indulge in this daily care . . . for face and bath? Then—feel your skin. Revel in its smoothness, its loveliness. A “tragic” skin? Not for you! Use Palmolive . . . for a skin free of blemishes, satin‘smooth! PALMOLIVE reported her pocketbook, containing $65, was stolen while she was in a down- town theater. Five Colored Men Held. Five colored men were arrested by headquarters detectives early today for investigation in the series of recent hold-ups of taxicab drivers. The men, police say, admitted parti¢ipation in one | robbery ‘and police hope their arrest may clear up several others. The prisoners, arrested by Sergts. Carlton Talley and John Wise, de- scribed themselves as John W. Vanve, 16, and James E. Hayes, 300 block of | K street southwest; Clinton Randolph, 22, 300 block of C street southwest: | Sidney Statomen, 20, 400 block of X | street southwest, and James Summer- | ville, 23, 800 block of Third street | southwest.

BEAUTY IN A TEST Olive oil for the complex- ion! Alwaysknowntokeep skin soft, supple, yeuthful. But can you olive oil in soap? How much, actually, goes into Palmolive? Here is the exact amount—in this test tube at the right. To this generous olive oil content can be directly traced the great benefits of Palmolive Soap to the complexion. Palmolive is the only large- selling soap made of vege- table oils exclusively. The only one using olive oil as abase. OtherPalmolive in- gredients are from palm trees necessary toproduce aricher, cream- ier, more workable lather. The color is the natural green ofolive and palm oils—no artificial coloring. More than 20,000 of the world's leading beauty ex- pects have for years urged women to use Palmolive Soap in preference to all others.

Police headquarters was deserted to- day, as workmen prepared to remove two safes with a combined weight of 'between 12 and 14 tons from the fifth floor to the basement. The safes, which contained property valiled at approximately $100,000, were ordered transferred to the basement after plaster began falling from the ceiling of a room on the third floor. Collapse Feared. The weight of the safe is so great, it was felt, that the old building might (fall beneath it. The fear of possible |collapse of the structure was intensi- fied by the fact that two smaller safes, in addition to many desks, filing cabinets and other heavy equipment were on the same floor. ‘The total weight of this equipment, according to an estimate made by Chief | Clerk H. E. Crawford, whose office ad- been kept, is about 150 tons. | " The property stored in the safes in- | cludes money, jewelry and other things. | some held as “evidence and others as | unclaimed. | Everybody was ordered from the TUBE get enough simply oils building at 10 o'clock this morning and employes of the Traffic Bureau were instructed not to report for work until afternoon. Title Seekers Disappointed. Hundreds of automobile owners were disappointed when they went to head- quarters for their 1932 titles. Tags are still being issued at John Marshall place and Pennsylvania avenue. When the time for the exodus came telephone and teletype operators aban- doned their posts in the Central Bu- reau and moved over to the District Building. At the same time the Fire Department switchboard there began handling all police telephone calls and | police officials also moved their offices | to that building for the remainder of the day. The safes were ordered removed by | Building Inspector John W. Oehmann, | after Assistant Inspector J. D. Daly termed them unsafe.
