CAPITAL CITY POLICE
IN SNOWY UNIFORMS
Attractive Apparel Selected by
Committee for Use in
Summer Season.

Police Chief Sylvester believes that the
Washington police force in its new dress
will make showing second to no similar
force in the United States or other coun-
try. Not only has the board appointed to
select new uniforms adopted attractive
ones. says the superintendent, but the
uniforms will afford their wearers pro-
lection from the weather better than
has any uniform ihey have heretofore
owned.
The report Of the committee includes
caps for all members of the force during
the winter season. and light helmets in
summer. Maj. Sylvester says the caps
act as bumpers against missiles used in
attacking policemen, but light caps for
summer wear could not be made to
serve as such. 1t was, therefore, found
necessary to provide light helmets for
summer wear. the helmets to be SO made
that they will shed water in rainy
weather.

Helmet characterization.

Silk cord and acorns will adorn the
helmets, taking the place of leather that
Is used in most cities. Mounted men,
horsemen and bicycle riders will wear
caps all the time. The summer caps for
the mounted men will be similar to the
caps worn by New York policemen.
OvercoatS are to have shorter skirts
than those now worn by members of the
force, giving the garments not so much
the appearance of gowns The blouses
will have five buttons instead of four,
and the lining will be much lighter than
the Innings of the blouses that are now
worn.
The board decided to do away with the
g. on the lapelS of the coats of the
sergeants, chevrons on the sleeves to be
their insignia. Mounted men are to have
circles. with the figure of horse braided
within, while the bicycle men will have
circles on the sleeves containing the
figure of a bicycle.
