BEDTIME STORIES Plans Hot Time. - To bring their feelings into play Resentful people find way. —O0ld Mother Nature, Reddy Fox lay on the doorstep of his house in the Old Pasture and thought and thought and thought. He had discovered a great, gray, paper stle, the castle of the hottest-tem- pered people he knew of—the poper wasps. You know, they are called pape: was] because they build their home of a kind of gray paper which they make themselves. Some people call them hornets. The big, gray castle was in a big blueberry bush. It was in a part of the Old Pasture where Buster Bear had not yet been. Reddy knew all about the builders of that gray paper castle. He kmew that cach one of them carried a sharp little lance that could burn like a red-hot needle. He knew that those ca: fear no one if they thought their home in danger.

Completion of the new concrete highway on Bladensburg road from South Dakota avenue to the District line has been ordered by the board of District Commissioners. The work will be started within two weeks. The new highway now extends from several blocks north of Fifteenth and H streets to South Dakota ave- nue. In concreting the final portion, the Commissioners ordered that the same plan be followed as used during the construction of the first section. The park in the center of the road will therefore be concluded in the re- maing stretch, which is 3,000 feet in length. DESERTED, WIFE SAYS. Alleging misconduct and non-sup- port, Mary F.

C. Location Highland Park is located on the highlands south of Pennsylvania Avenue Southeast at Thirty-second street and Alabama Avenue S.E. Highland Park has an elevation of three hundred feet, yet it is only five minutes by automobile from the Capitol. Highland Park comprises over one hundred acres, and is one of the few remaining desirable tracts of land in the District of Columbia available to the home seeker. Advantages Highland Park has good church, store and school facilities. Real estate is the basis of all wealth. The man who owns real estate can always get credit. ‘We sincerely believe that Highland Park values, improvements, conveniences and advantages cannot be duplicated. see for yourself. To Reach Highland Park Come and Improvements Highland Park improvements include concrete sidewalks, good graveled streets, gas and electricity, all without additional cost to the purchaser. Highland Park already has city water less than one square away and city water is now being extended into Highland Park itself. Plans are under way for sewerage. Highland Park has two splendid hard surfaced highways leading directly into Washington. SR Restrictions Highland Park homes must be detached, on a lot at least fifty feet wide, thus adding to the beauty and desirability of the surroundings. Plans for homes must be approved by Alger & Co. Purchasers are selected with discrimination, because one of the most important questions is, “Who Is My Neighbor?> Wise restrictions add immeasurably to the value of your real estate. Financing Homes Highland Park promoters agree with one of Washington's prom- inent realtors who said, “It is morally wrong for a company to open a subdivision and sell lots without providing means for financing homes.” Highland Park homes will be financed by us at the least possible cost consistent with good business. Highland Park has a financial expert with whom you can talk freely and confidentially regarding your plans and resources for building. Prices | Highland Park lots offer a sure reward for the “early bird.” Lots are now selling for ten to fifteen cents a square foot. Other lots will be placed on the market later, and in the carly fall prices will advance. The date and amount of the increase in price will be announced through the newspapers. A hint to the wise is sufficient. 1. Drive out Pa. Ave. S.E. across the bridge. Turn right at Branch Ave.b at top of first hill. 2. Take Street Car to 17th and Pa. Ave. S. E.
