Carraspandsnce of the Awsociated Press PARIS.—Too much thrift caused the downfall of a jeweler who hired a band of burglars to simulate a robbery so he | could collect $24,000 insurance. Rene Racover tried to save damage to his front door by leaving off the iron bar and failed to lock the main door of his safe and so the truth came out His economy also caused him to defer paying the burglars until the day before his insurance expired, which increased the suspicions of the police Likewise, the burglars were cautious and exacted cash in advance. They promised a “thorough and careful job" for $3.600, but they showed too much | care, and the police could find no evi- dence of breaking and entering or much work on the safe. where the jeweler lefi the final payment for the crooks to get by their own efforts.

With a steady stream of concrete | pouring 150 feet from the surface’ into the Lydecker Conduit, the water supply | line between the Georgetown Reservoir and the McMillan Filtration Plant workmen are working night and day to| complete repairs to the tunnel. Two holes have been sunk 150 feet deep into the tunnel at the point under the | Burleith section of Georgetown, and | Into these holes mixed concrete is being | poured. Workmen in the tunnel catch it in wheelbarrows ‘The sinking of these holes makes it | | possible to send the concrete directly to the part of the tunnel at which it | must be used, instead of putting it in | the tunnel at the reservoir end and then moving it for several thousand | feet in wheelbarrows.
