COLD) WAVE HOLD-UPS ARE BUSY NOW A paii of "cold wave crooks" met William Lanseidel, 2128 W. Ohio st, last night, Lanseidel had just purchased a SiOQfur overcoat and was nearly "home with -it when two affable looking young men, well "dressed, but having no overcoats, Stepped out of an alley. One of them shoved a toy cannon against ihe well-garbed Bill's white temple and spoke gruffly: "Up witlryoiir hands and off with that coat." "Wait aaninute," safd the other hold-up. He searched the over coat pockets and found a wajlet on the inside. - Thrustingit'back'to the-fnght-ened owner he- iiWi "Here, T never .yet took monej -o iO that did &oi belong to me and I'm not goingf to start now." Then, coaxed by the gun and assisted by the two gentlemen, Bill removed' the precious coat. One of them tried it on. It fitted like a glove. "This'ill do," he said briskly. "You wear a 40, don't you, Ed?" "Yep," replied partner hold-up. "All right, let us find some guy with that size." ' Cautioning Bill'not to yell how cold he was until he had gone around the corner, they made a getaway. A little later in the morning Vincent Goodenor, 2612 Armour av., called the police headquarters and told the sergeant that the 'size of 'a cdat stolen from him was-40 . ' BOHEMIA : ' . Written-for-The Day Book by3erton Braley. They eat off a trunk and they sit on a box, - -t----The floor-is all cluttered with fish-nets .and socks, c They live on spaghetti and red ink and cheese And talk about "Art" with some miction and ease. Their hair's never trimmed, and it's seldom they shave, At "puritan morals" they sneer and they rave; They care not to sweep or to scrub or to dust, They never pay bills till they find that they must, They go in for fads in their manner of dress, They revel in dirt and they're fond of a mess. Of "base money grubbers" they frequently rant,"' Referring to artists who "sell" which they can't! Yet give them a chance where the cash is the test, They're just as commercial as" all of the rest. w They strut and they swagger, they poise and they pose, ' And each has a horn which he constantly Wows," Their minds and their rooms with disorder are rife ' And they call this "Bohemian Xifel" ' &
