PHILADELPHIA POLICE
IN SHOCKING COSTUMES

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.-The
trouble killer" electric quieter and
first aid to careful cops are some
of the titles applied to a brand new
instrument to be exhibited shortly be-
fore Director Porter, superintendent
Robinson and other police officials by
the inventor, Jeremiah Creedon, an
engineer on the Philadelphia and
Reading railway.
1t consists of a belt to be worn by
every policeman on duty. Attached
to the belt is a battery with wires,
positive and negative, running up
along the body and down through the
sleeve, and ending in a button. The
policeman must wear a rubber glove
whichever hand the button rests,
and when he grabs a pickpocket, dis
orderly person or any sort of felon,
no matter what his average as a bad
man, said bad nan will surely wilt
when that button with the neat little
voltage touches his anatomy.

WEEK FOR
PROVERB CONTEST
More Time for Solving Entrance
ing Problems Granted at
Contestants Request.

The chances of those who are BACK
ward, IT not even started in the race
for the magnificent awards offered
by the Evening Star in the proverb
competition, were granted a new
lease of life and spurred on the ex-
ercise of their greatest energies
when, in response to hundreds of re-
grets and pleas for more time, which
were received by letter and by word
of mouth of callers at this office, the
proverb contest editor and judges
agreed to allow an extra week for
the contestants.
Some of the pictures are puzzling
practically all Of the competitors, and
all will welcome this extra time al
lowance. Letters of appreciation
have been coming to this office since
the postponement was announced. 1t
will not only be a benefit to each
competitor, but it opens a wide ave-
nue. of opportunity to those who have
failed thus far to join the number
of "puzzlers." Many were the rea-
sons for their backwardness. Some
had not learned of the competition
until late, having been out of town,
or for some other reason. Many had
put off the day of Joining in the be-
lief that there was still plenty OF
time" and they only awoke to the
flight of the days and the approach
of the final one for the. contest when
it was late. There is plenty of time,
with a verify now, and the contest
ant joining today will have a splen-
did chance for the awards. Not one
will be able to advance the excuse of
lack of time now, for the ~postponing
of the day of filing answers makes it
easy for all to join and win.
Have you Joined? You may know
nothing about the contest: you may
know nothing about proverbs; this
whole story about adages may be
Greek to you. If it is, find out about
it for the knowledge means dollars
and cents to you. And then, consider
the proposition as fairly as you would
any proposed business deal. If you
want to enter after that, believe you
have plenty of time, get the back
coupons and a proverb book from the
Star office and start in to win.

One very striking model has a diagonal row of

Delay in Starting Improvement
of MoreIand and Georgia
Avenues Vexes Citizens.

The south side mass meeting last
night in the old city hall, called in the
interest of the boulevard from West
End to Grant park project, took on a
decided political color.
Alderman John f. McClelland, can
didate for mayor, charged that the
boulevard work had been postponed by
the city and county officials in order
that Moreland avenue, the street on
which Councilman Aldine Chambers
also candidate for mayor, lives, and
Ivy street might be improved first. AL
derman McClelland was much agitated
during his speech.
Councilman Chambers and County
commissioners S. b. thurman and Shell
by Smith were earnest in their denials
OF the charge. Councilman Chambers
declared that the Improvement of More,
land avenue, a street in very bad con-
dition had been decided upon in an
open meeting of council. All the Off
Gals said that the south side boulevard
work would be done as soon as prac-
teal.
Only fair-sized crowd was present
All other subjects but the south side
boulevard were barred from discussion
1t was shown that the greater part of
the $4,000 appropriated to begin the
boulevard work had been spent in
building underpasses at the junction OF
Glenn street and the southern and Cen
trail railroads. The regarding and re-
paving of Georgia avenue is included in
the project. The Improvement was de-
cided upon by council in 1910.
The property owners expressed their
dissatisfaction at the slow progress OF
the work, however, and appointed a
