Auctioneers Call Off Sale

Auctioneers selling off the merchandise from a bankrupt Miracle Mile jewelry firm folded up their tent last Saturday.

SO WHAT'S A YOUNG LADY going to do when she's a pretty little lass caught up in the "Roaring 20's" and a fella takes her for a drive in his tin lixxie—but mysteriously runs out of gas? Cavaliette Nancy Winter, who's in "Flapper Follies," had the answer. But it wasn't the answer her Ramblin' Romeo wanted to hear. So she's out in the cold. She'll appear March 23-24 at 8 p.m. in the Cavaliettes' annual musical march at Gables High.

Stakeout On Mile Was All In Vain

Coral Gables police staked out Jackson's Department Store, 45 Miracle Mile, Friday night, anticipating a possible burglary. But the break never occurred. Their stakeout was ordered on the basis of a story told by Willie Franklin, 22, a porter employed by the store. Franklin told police earlier that evening that a 6-foot tall white male, between 25 and 30, approached him while he was working on the store's second floor and ordered him to get the keys to the employes lounge and locker room. The porter said he opened the room and three lockers by breaking the padlocks under orders from the 200-pound man. At this point a female employe entered and the man ducked behind a refrigerator. After the woman left, Franklin said, the man ordered him to leave the ceiling trap door open and cut the burglar alarm.

Bemused Driver Causes Parking Lot Havoc

The familiar combination — an automatic transmission and confusion — resulted in a four-car accident in the municipal parking lot across the street from the Coral Gables police station Friday afternoon. It all began earlier in the day when Mrs. Edna S. Lambert, 72, of 434 Majorca, and Mrs. Edna P. Lambert, 89, same address, decided to go shopping downtown. Parked Car The younger Mrs. Lambert parked her car at the Aragon parking lot and returned later to pick it up. She placed the car in reverse, shot back too fast, rammed two parked cars owned by William L. Lucas, 67, of 1635 SW 13th St., and Louise S. Ebsary, 29, of 9860 SW 165th Ter. Mrs. Lambert then placed the automatic transmission in forward and this time she shot ahead, sweeping in a wide arc until she crashed into the side of a fourth car owned by Robert E. Steward, 40, of 6441 SW 64th Ave. Not Used to It Mrs. Lambert told police that she was unused to automatic transmissions, having driven cars equipped with conventional transmissions until recently when her husband died and left her the car. The elderly Mrs. Lambert was taken to Doctors' Hospital for treatment for shock and was admitted. Police, who charged the driver with careless driving, estimated total damage at more than $700.
