SNEAK THIEVES ROB
HOME UP AT ARDEN

Despite the efforts Of private de-
tectives and members OF the vigil
ance communities OF Arden In charge
Of A. Z. Sweating, housekeepers at
the colony report that their homes
have been entered during their alb
sence and MANY articles stolen.
The colonys police do not wear
blue coats or brass buttons. nor
carry a badge OF authority. When
one Ardenite looks at another he
does not know whether he is under
espionage or suspected Of being one
Of the vigilantes. When strangers
stare at them they do not know
whether II is out Of mere curiosity,
or the once-over Of a private deteo-
tive.
In the meantime. the depredations
keep on occurring; lonely cottagers.
who at one time like the Arcadians.
needed neither lock nor key TO their
I doors, are barring their doors. buy
ing watch-dogs and taking other
precautions against interlopers.
