COOLING ThE POLICE.

tious because il is impossible TO prove in
noceuce against the officers sworn state

means OF obscuring the license numbers al

law abiding
In the Melun crime the automobile had
three figures in the license number painted
over. This radical procedure exposed the
occupants 10 danger of arrest whenever
they drew up at village. or even at the
roadside The most common means OF de-
ceiying the police is to coat the license tag
with oil before starting. Then the greater
the speed the more dust sticks to the tag
until il is completely indistinguishaole.
| Another method IS to fix the license tat
