-Oh. nothing much. captain replied
Lieut.. Taggart r~esignedly. Il was reflect

Mccarthy. Some one mentioned the
trafic squad and he said: The trafhc

a compliment, I guess. Then he was told
that the traffic squad. at least that portion
Of il attached to the City Hall. was about
TO start on q sleuth hunt for culture. be-
cause these were momentous times and
lots OF the police everywhere had a great
y~earning for a higher and fuller expression
Of themselves and there was general unrest.
Lieut.. Bull gazed distracted like and finally
he said: Culture In the favor Of things
hoped for. the essence Of things not seen
Now what do you make Of those two re-
marks. captainp-
They show a good deal of elaboration, "
Capt. Walling replied; but there's another
point. Marty Reese has been publishing
his memoirs and "reminiscences and re-
vising history in THE SCN and IL will not

AZ this point Lieuts. Robert Kelly. Dave
Mccarthy and Jimmie Wall advanced into
the room with the brave afr Of the Three
Musketeers. Behind them doomed up Lieut..
Charley Zanes.
Captain" cried Lieut.. Dave Mccarthy.
1T has just occurred TO me that this culture
we're TO pursue is mighty indefinite. Now.
I've heard OF horticulture. viticulture and
a~rboriculture that | can recall ohhand and
don't know how many more specimens Of
the thing there may be. | suggest you
appoint a committee TO investigate the
matter exhaustively."
Good" responded the Captain. You're
it.
Speaking Of ar~borculture.' began Lieut..
Robert Kelly, may one expect our men in
the City Hall Park TO gather the multi
colored autumn leaves and watch for the
first buds OF s%pring'"

water bug OF all.
Lieut.. Charley Zanes. who had up to this
time remained discreetly silent. now ven
tured a remark.
The formation Of this brand new steam
ship squad has set me thinking. II looks
like tho first step In specialization, or per-
haps the second. for there IL already what
you might call an automobile squad to
catch the speeders. The steamship squad
the trafic squad. Now, il they can only
graft the steamship squad onto the auto
mobile squad an airship squad will be
evolved. something that will soon be a
necessity.
.Tbe singer Building and other heaven
scaling edifices augur the need soon o. a
new kind OF trafic squad; one to regulate
vertical. traffic Just a. the horizontal trafRc
Of the streets 10 regulated now. It's not
enough to be on the level nowadays; you
must be on the perpendicular. too. II the
fourth dimension Ia ever discovered I don't
know where we'll be at.
We'll. sir, in the case Of the skyscrapers
The airship squad and The perpendicular
or vertical squad will have q chance to get
together In doing some mighty fine work.
You can form a mental picture OF it your
self
