Thieves and Vacant Houses.

Depredations in and against vacant
buildings appear to be more general
than anybody not a sufferer from losses
of this kind might suppose. However,
it is common observation that if a
house is without tenants it's windows
will not long remain unbroken and there
will be a more serious destruction of
property than the breakage of windows.
1t is charged that heavy loss is
suffered in the District from vandalism
against unoccupied property. In con-
nection with the cleanup and city
beautiful campaign a woman owner
of untenanted property wrote let

there was insufficient interest on the
part of the police in this character of
robbery and malicious mischief. The
letter was published and soon thereafter
many letters came from other owners of
vacant houses. telling the same tales OF
hardship. Unoccupied property is en-
titled to police protection. Its owners

Old Home Week.

Though the sap is not yet stirring freely
in the trees a number of cities-that is, a
number of newspapers in several cities
are already discussing plans for old-home
week, or homecoming week. This is a
happy and enterprising custom which was
taken up by few cities not many years
ago, and the idea was such a catching and
appealing one that the custom has been
rapidly extended The plan usually stirs
up enthusiasm in a city, puts the citizens
to thinking of something else than this
workaday world. brings back many sons
and daughters to the city who have
strayed away or gone away with pre-
meditation. and promotes a high state
OF pleasure all around. There is also a
practical side which is an argument that
convinces many cities. Utica, n. Y, is
one of the places already making plans
for an old-home week in August, and the
Utica Press, discussing the business fea-
ture of the case, says:
IF the utlitarian side of it is looked at

physical culture.
The security of private lawns and flow
er beds is greater than it ever was. Pub
lie opinion has been so improved and
educated in this matter that complaints
Of marauding are rare, whereas not many
wears ago they were frequent This IS
shown by reference to an editorial in The
Star May - 1876. which in part fol-
lows:
There is probably no place IN the
country where more is done by its in
habitants to beautify their homes by the
cultivation of flowers, shrubbery. etc
than by the citizens of Washington Nor
is there a place where such efforts are
more successful considering the DIS
couragements and drawbacks under
which they are made. We refer more
especially to the pulling Of flowers. the
destruction of shrubbery and the theft
of rare plants from private grounds. 20
great has this abuse grown in some parts
of the city that not a few of those who
have been SO frequently raided are now
hesitatng between giving up the p easant
duty Of ornamerting their grounds and
living in wait for the marauders with
loaded shotguns. The most curious thing
to these sufferers is the fact that the po-
.ice apparently never see any of the
despoiliny and that in spite OF the strin-
gent law on the subject no arrests are
made or at least no punishment IS III
