CREAM AS A WEAPON
SURPRISE FOR ROBBERS. Whipped cream pie proved an effective weapon when robbers entered a store at Boston and headed foi the cash register. Mrs. Mabel Bowman, the proprietress, picked up the pie and flung it, movie fashion, in the face of the leader. The attack took the men by surprise, and the cream, an inch deep on the top of the pie, splattered over them. The group then dashed into the street. Later a policeman arrested two men whose clothing was spattered with cream.
