rhe Policeman and Hi. Uniform

Why Is 1t that a policeman Of medi-
um build can handle frequently two
and sometimes three men his size in a
fight? An officer on the local force was
discussing the question. 'I'il tell you
why it Isl" he said. TT Is simply be-
cause the policeman is in uniform. The
uniform denotes authority, and that
takes the nerve out Of his opponents
to a certain extent. They know that
they are breaking the law by resisting
him, while he might ever kill them and
not commit a crime. All through a fight
with a policeman the other fellow or
fellows are thinking Of escape. The
officer isn't. He's thinking Of subduing
and arresting the mar or men. He puts
his whole effort and strength into 1t,
while his opponents generally fight In
q half hearted way. Put a policeman In
citizens clothes, with his star under his
coat. and he wouldn't be able to whip
two men his size any more than you
would unless the two men knew he
was an officer of the law."-Kansas
City Times.
