bishop Michael Joseph Curlcy, OF
Baltimore, has returned from five

Your Back Door

A new type Of thief has been
discovered in Washington. He
takes off the door Of your
home.
This morning Jake Heros,
2016 P street northwest, awoke
to find that he had been visited.
The back door of his store,
above which he and his family
sleeps, had been removed, ~
had also $50 In cash and some
forty packages of cigarettes.
1t was reported the hinges
were removed and then tho door
was extracted. That the bur-
glar worked quietly was evi-
denced by the tact that several
people were not awakened,
though they were sleeping on
the floor above.

miles an hour. your honor. But
he stopped without giving any
trouble when ! hailed him, and
didn't deny he was speeding, So
gave him a ticket for twenty
five miles an hour, which entitled
him to the lowest collateral ac-
cepted for speeding. A little while
later / met him and he began kick
ing because I had given him 4
ticket for twenty-eight instead OF
twenty-five. He kicked so hard
that I let the twenty-eight stand.
