Neighbors Defeat
Moving Van Thief
St. Louis HP' E. A. Becker can
thank his neighbors for keeping
a close check on his house.
When two moving men drove
up to his suburban home and be
gan loading $l,2o5 worth of fur
nishings, they were watched by
nelghlKirs who reported to police
a detailed description of the van.
Becker returned home and dis
covered the theft but police al
ready had traced the van and ar
rested the robbers. The two men
said the Idea of burglary by mov
ing van occurred to them as they
were drinking together earlier in
the evening.
Cigarette Taxes
Still Increasing
Chicago 'Hi Cigarette taxes in,
nine states, Alaska and the Dis
trict of Columbia have been
raised this year. Increases were
approved In eight other states.
A total of 3-l8,000.000.000 ciga
rettes went up In smoke last year,
but the new taxes and increases
are not likely to cut consump

Newest Furs
Offer Luxury
At Small Cost
The Important fur fashion of
the year Is the three-quarter coat.
31 lo 40 Inches long, that looks
right with any skirt length and
smart on every figure. The lead
ing silhouette is straight In front
with a four-or-flve-fla're back that
falls from the shoulder in grace
ful folds.
Collars are small, gently rolled
or upstunomg. Sleeves are
straight with moderate fullness
and the majority have small, turn
ed back, or novelty cuffs.
Many fur coats are shown with
bells, or can be worn either belted
or full. A distinctively new fur
fashion Is a collarless, Mandarin
styled coat with side slits and
klmona type sleeves.
Genuine mink and its nonular-
prleed counterpart, mink-dyed
mukrat - highlight the entire fur
fashion picture, not only for coats
themselves, but as trimmings on
coats or other furs. Black Per
sian lamb coats with collars,
sleeve trims or buttons of mink
appear In all the leading collec
tions. Luxurious looking, yet
within reach of the average purse,
Is smart and serviceable Jap
mmK. nunn and the mink-type
furs take precedence over all oth
ers for Jackets and capes as well
as luinengtn coats.
Sealskin Returns
Staging a strong come back for
the 194D-50 winter season is
genuine Alaska sealskin that has
no equal for warmth and wear.
It is shown In warm-toned browns
as well as black, and for some
thing really new and exciting Is
even dyed In navy blue! The
young business woman or college
girl will continue to bet on the
good looks and sturdiness of
mouton. Gray Chinese kidskin is
another serviceable fur In the
budget-class that is sure to find
favor with the Junior set.
Grey squirrel is being re-discov-ered
for Its softness, flattery and
richness; and squirrel, dyed to re
semble sable or mink ranks
among the seasons favorites.
Again available at moderate Dric-
es, silver-blue and natural musk
rat will have a strong appeal to
the woman who wants a smart
and practical coat to wear on all
occasions for many seasons.
Capes Favored
Sling capes, in mink and in
squirrel outrank Jackets in popu

ference for flat furs over the
fluffy, longhaired furs for all
types of scarfs, capes and acces
