work Of Po..ee Praised.

Work of Police Praised.
To the EDITOR Of the Evening Star:
Now that the summer season is on
the wane, let US have few words OF
praise for the police, who have so care
fully guarded houses that were vacant
The number OF robber1es reported has
been remarkably small, but wish TO
say that the carelessness OF some ten
ants and property y-owners has been re-
markably great. Here is case in
point:
The other day had occasion to call
at house IN one of the fine sections OF
Forest Hill. The front porch was
screened, but the screen door was un-
locked. Naturally, supposed that the
occupant was at home. Lying in front
of the main door was lot of telephone
literature and several telephone direc-
tories. Then / touched the button for
the electric bell and surely enough 1t
worked. rang again, but, as there
was no response, knew that there was
no one at home.
What a fine opportunity for even a
bungling burglar! Here was a screen
door open, and the main door and bell
advertising the fact that nobody was at
home. Easy work behind the heavy
screen at night
d II people do not know enough to lock-
their screen doors and plug up their
doorbells, they deserve to have some OF
their property among the missing when
they get back.
This is one of the obstacles against
which the police have to contend, the
stupidity of tenants and owners who do
not know enough to protect their own
property. Therefore, In view of the fact
that there have been so few robberies
UP to date, let the police be praised.
EATON.

We Do Not Dictate the
 Cost of Your Home

We find that not few persons who are delighted with Roebuck Springs have the impression that purchase car ries with 1t the obligation to erect an expensive house. This is incorrect It is true that many settlers in Roebuck Springs are going to build homes of large proportions-two of these start this week-but they will do so volun- tarily, as we are making no stipulations whatever as to the amount of money to be expended in a Roebuck Springs house. In fact, we are placing no ob iectionable restrictions of any kind on this property, because we know those who are attracted by it do not require to be told what RIGHT LIVING is.
 There is notable movement now all over the United States to the country by people of culture who are seeking re- lief from the expense and worries of life in town, and Roebuck Springs has come into existence in response to this call of nature.
 Liberty, then, is the spirit of Roe buck Springs-liberty to live simply and wholesomely without any fear of caddish criticism, the liberty which al lows lord to wear comfortable, style free coat.

So far from being costly proposi- tion to the home-seeker, Roebuck Springs Is the sensible, workable oppor tunity for him to reduce the expenses of his household materially and get more out of life for himself and fam fly. It offers him the choice of a large beautiful site at price anywhere from $500 to $500, and he can put bunga- low on t for 5000 to $500, and live on the fiat of the land'-fruit and vege- tables of his own growing and fresh eggs, milk and butter bought at first cost from the farms in the neighbor- hood.
 In brief, Roebuck Springs means the chance to GET FROM UNDER THE LOAD without sacrificing any of the real pleasures and conveniences of modern life, and gaining many which can never be had in the city.
 Begin with that modest home in Roebuck Springs, and 1t will not be long before you will be able to build on a much larger scale-if you wish to do SOON WHAT YOU SAVE.
