False
Economy!

Do not practice false economy
in the purchase of Speetacles
+ or Eye glasses. If prescrip-
tion be taken to a druggist to
be filed, it is not handed in with
the request that the cheapest
drugs may be used, although
perhaps, the medicine required
is for trivial ailment only.
Why, then. should so slight an
estimate be placed upon the
most precious of all the senses,
that those who can and do af-
ford extravaganees in useless
or at least unnecessary Injuries
should begrudge paying fair
price for an article at once so
essential to comfort and wei
fare !? The complete satisfac
ton and comfort given by our

CHARLESTON EXPOSITION.
Preparations Made for Celebration of
Hawaiian DaV.

Maj. Agar M. Wheeler, assistant director
general of the Charleston exposition, Is
in the city. Saturday is Hawaiian day at
the exposition, he says, and tomorrow the
sale of tickets will commence at the South
ern railway office.
The exposition closes June l. The ex-
hibit. Major Wheeler says. is now at its
best. and the attendance has largely in
creased. He says that owing to the low
rates granted by the Southern road prac-
tically all the people within 800 miles will
see the show. He also reports that the
proportion of attendance to population is
larger than it was at the Pan-American
exposition.
While the attendance has necessarily been
limited, owing to the comparatively small
population to be drawn upon, the EXPOSE
ton has been success in every particular,
excepting financially to it's promoters. All
are, however. delightful with the general
results.
Charleston. the state of South Carolina
and the south have all been largely bene-
flied. New life has been given to many in
dustries and northern capitalists have been
interested. Prospective benefits are. there
fore, in sight. Quite large number are
going from Washington, to get the last
glimpse of the beautiful ivory city. His
toric old Charleston, Majae Wheeler says,
is an attractive city Without an exposition.

FIVE UNDER ARREST
Boys, Charged With Completely in
Robbery, Taken Into Custody.

Five arrests have been made in connection
with the robbery Of the Adams Express
Company's freight car, which occurred last
Friday morning. The parties under arrest
are Bryan Ferguson. Asa B. Carter Robert
Ogden, Henry Shaw and James M. Conner.
Their ages range from fourteen to twenty
five years. Ferguson, Ogden and Conner
admitted to the detectives that they rob-
bed the car, while Shaw acknowledged hav-
ing bought some of the plumber and dis
posed of it at some of the alleged disreput-
able houses. Carter denies that he had any
connection with the robbery, but the officers
allege that he was implicated in similar
affair more than month ago.
Detectives Hartigan, Horne Miller. Peck
and Parham worked on the case effected
the arrests and recovered quantity of-the
stolen property The three boys who admit
having robbed the car told the detectives
that they broke the seal and entered the
express car in the Baltimore tunnel and
remained in it until the train reached this
city about 30 O. clock in the morning. On
the way over they ransacked boxes of mer
chandiSe and trunks. Clothing of every
kind and description disappeared from tho
trunks and boxes and when the boys jump
ed from the car at Virginia avenue and 9Th
street southwest they carried the bundles
of goods with them ......,.-.s
When the case was reported it was stated
that three boys had been seen to Jump from
the train. 1t was evident that the car had
been entered in Baltimore, and 1t was not
until of the property was recovered
that the detectives became satisfied the
looting had been done by Washington boys.
Statements were made today to the de-
tectives by the three boys, who admitted
their guilt. Shaws only connection with the
case was the purchase of some of the goods.
He had seen the others in lunch room
where he was employed, and he says he had
idea that the goods We're stolen. So far
as the others are concerned they will be
held until their completely with the rob-
berry can be further investigated. The de-
tectiveS expect to connect one or more of
the boys with several thefts committed here
during recent weeks, among them the theft
of three Panama hats taken from the show
case in front Of hat store on PennSyl-
vana avenue
Ogden. Ferguson and Conner may be
given a preliminary hearing in the Police
Court tomorrow.

A Local "TrustY-Coal.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
In New York telegram in a city paper
last Saturday morning, it is stated that, as
result of the strike In the coal region. the
price of coal has been advanced by the
New York local dealers sas per ton! But.
with that addition to the pEice. 1t is 50 cents
less than the Washington ;;exchange" deal
ers have been charging ffor a couple Of
years. tho advance in New York being
from $5.25 to 1925. while the price here has
been 1915. asked q. dealer this morning
the reason for the difference In price. and
he replied. Differences In rates Of freight. +"
Now. 1t looks to me as II the people Of
this city have been outrageously imposed
upon by the coal dealers, for 1t Is impos-
sible to believe that 1t costs $3.50 more
to bring a ton Of coal from->s1e mines to
Washington than it does to take 1t to New
York city. 1t may not be known to every
one, but for number OF years nearly all
OF the coal dealers have belonged to a
combine, or exchange" believe they call
1t. and all charge the same prices, having
printed schedules OF prices. which, have
just learned by the telegram referred to, Is
out Of all reason higher than they should
be. There ought to be some way to COM
pei them to lower their prices. Coal is
more OF a necessity-in cold weather, espe-
cially-than meat How about It?
