0HE tenth precinct of the metro
politan police department is be-
coming one of the important pre-
cincts of the department. The
population of the precinct num-
bers about 2S.o0o people, scatter
ed over an area of about eight square
miles. Owing to the development in the
section and to the peculiar conditions which
exist on Mount Pleasant. the police work
OF the precinct is different from that in any
other precinct. 1t consists chiefly in the
guarding of property. not In the handling
of crowds or in taking care of tough al
ley population.
The tenth precinct includes within it's
bounds the territory in the District north
of Florida avanue to the District line and
between Rock creek and Brentwood road
Within the bounds lie many thickly popu-
lated towns. including Takoma Park.
Brightwood. Brookland. Petworth, Ripple
willie and WOODBURY.. Besides the many BUSH
ness houses and residences in the towns
there are other places which require pro-
lection. The Soldiers Home, the Villa
Flora Club, the Brightwood Hotel, the CO.
lumbia Golf Club. the Catholic University,
Trinity College, two monasteries and other
buildings of the Catholics in Brookland
@io"aiu 1hiNcisitS, lamp dOod WILL East
ern Star Home and other similar institu-
tions are within the tenth precinct jurisdic-
ton. There are also several small factories
Tor the tenth precinct officers to protect
AT the filtration plant three men are re-
CURED TO guard against disorder among the
army or workers that are employed there
and to prevent damage to the important
works. In the various towns, which are
of good size, special patrolmen are detailed
to protect the property. as is done in the
ast,ta of safsx frt1 So
ed officers and sergeants guard the towns
at all hours.
Included in the precinct are the finest
large parks in the District and some of the
most important roads and driyeways. The
Soldiers Home Park Is a popular gathering
place for summer parties and for many out
for excursions on foot, with horses and
carriages or in automobiles. as is also Rock
Creek Park. Along Brfghtwood avenue and
Columbia road these parties are frequent.
For this reason the work of the bicycle
men of the tenth precinct is great. There
are many rigs out every day, and. owing
to the excellent roads. there is a great
temptation to violate the speed laws
There are many richly decorated and fur
nished houses in the tenth precinct which
require special attention from the police. In
the summer time many of the houses are
closed During the last summer the num-
Der reached nearly 140. 1t Is to the credit
of the officers that no houses which have
been reported to the police as vacant have
been molested in the last two summers.

OCEAN PARK
GUARANTY REALTY CO., OCEAN
PARK AND VENICE OF AMERICA

Most fortunes have as their basis and
foundation real estate and especially In
sorts of Southern California particularly
Ocean Park and Venice of America. which
are growing by leaps and bounds. The scale
upon which Ocean Park and Venice IS
growing, along with the large outlying
territory being rapidly settled, augmented
by constantly increasing population, all
combine to give real estate investments
larging values, which would be difficult
elsewhere. This being so, it is therefore
only essential for the investor to do busi-
wide experience in the community. We
recommend the Guaranty Realty COM
pany, which is one of the strongest and
most experienced in real estate matters
in both Ocean Park and Venice. The
business now conducted by the Guaranty
Realty company was founded by Mrs.
years ago, when Ocean Park was just
In it's infancy, since which time. Mrs.
Sibley has been actively engaged and
today she has accumulated fortune

and they have also a branch office at
Venice of America, Windward and Pa

the Ocean Park bank. Ocean Park, and
the Merchants National bank Santa Mon
lea as to it's standing financially and
otherwise in the community. To give some
idea of the extent of the business being
transacted by the company. we might
state that since it's organization In March
last it has sold over nalf million dol
lars worth of beach property and the
future even looks brighter, for 1t is one
of the largest owners of beach property
in Southern California. They own 5000
feet of frontage on the Los Angees-Pa-
cific railroad (Short Line), beginning at
the County road a short distance from
Venice The well-known Walgrove and
Silver Strand are part of their properties,
on which improvements have exceeded the
fondest expectations of the buyers. An
market this fall, but will not be sold
until all improvements have been made;
this we believe will be the first subdivision
that has for a long time been placed
upon the market under these conditions.
If the reader is contemplating buying a
nlace to build a nice suburban home, in
