THE CHIcAGo PoLICE

1t appears TO be Chicago
habit to jump on some particular
officer or cop when anything hap
pens that puts the police in bad.
And the newspapers are quite
unanimous in picking out the
goat.
The plain truth is, however,
that Chicago's police department
won't be any better or any worse
than the mayor wants it to be, or
makes it.
He has all the power any man
needs to make the police depart
ment exactly what he wants it
to be.
Both officers and men are
taught to obey orders, and to car
ry out the policy of the head Of
the city government; for the chief
is but lieutenant of the mayor.
While we have a so-called civil
service commission, the mayor
appoints the members; and pol
itics has too much to do with all
appointments, whether on that
commission or on the force itself. /
We don't know either Capt.
Mahoney or Lieut.. Burns from a
load of hay, and either of them
may be all the newspapers are
trying to make them out to be,
but they are entitled to a hearing
and square deal before they are
condemned by the public; es-
pecially on newspaper editorials
and testimony.
But the newspapers probably
won't go to headquarters and

be model force when the mayor
insists on it; and not before.

TEST TELLS HOW MUCH ACID

Gives pairymsn Way TO Grade Product
So That Higher Price May Bs OBJ
tainsd-simpie and Easily Made.

Certain substances when placed in
an alkaline solution have one color,
but when put in an acid change their
color or lose it entirely. That Is the
basis OF an important discovery made
recently by d. S. Burch, Kansas dairy
commissioner, whereby cream may be
tested for Its qualities to make good
butter. This test gives creamerymen
a way to grade cream so that a higher
price may be paid for the better grade.
Heretofore cream was not tested for
quality, only for the quantity Of but
ter fat 1t contained, which was de-
termined by the Bahcock test, says the
Kansas Industriallst
1t has been found that cream which
contains too much acid more than five
tenths per cent-will not make good
butter. All that was needed, then,
was test that would prove that bad
cream contained too much acid. This
Mr.. Burch's test will show.
An alkaline solution made red with
the indicator mentioned and two little
dippers about the size Of thimble,
pldSSu On LuS emu OF 1Ceel wire, are
all the instruments need. These dip
pers are made SO that one holds
proportionate amount Of cream to the
amount of red alkaline mixture held
by the other. A dipper of cream and
dipper Of the solution are poured
together. II this mixture turns white
the cream Is Of inferior quality. II
the pink mixture retains its color less
than 5 per cent Of acid Is present, and
the cream is first grade.
Creameries where the test IL used
are paying difference Of 2 cents
pound on first and second grade cream,
which means that the test will be an
incentive to farmers to use the most
sanitary methods with their cream so
that 1t will bring the highest market
price
The quality test hrst put into use In
January, now Is used successfully in
sixteen stations in Kansas. 1t can be
done accurately in less than minute.
