These are only few items taken

Jake Riis is a newspaper product. He is
the type of German of whom Balzac wrote
when he said that if some contractor were
to undertake the removal of a great noun
tain and should reach the core he would
find a little German burrowing there for
facts. Jake burrowed under police head
quarters for ten years. Surely he had a
tunel between his squalid office in Null
berry street and Inspector ByrneS's den in
the big building opposite, for il seemed that
whatever Byrnes knew as chief of detec-
tives Riis knew as dean of police reporters.
The number of new reporters Jake broke
in is large. His helping hand was always
extended toward the hard-driven tyro. He
reveled in the detection of crime. To do a
murder" as the newspaper phrase goes,
was his happiness. 1t is singular that the
pursuit of crime did not harden him. There
must have been a home influence that con-
trolled. Jake says in his autobiography
that he is in demand among both editors
and publishers. Happy Jakei
