Mr. Redfield pursued line of ques-
tons which indicated that ne hopes to

PATROL IS URGED.
Motorcycle Men Offer Services
to State.
Plan Is Outlined in Letter to
Gov. Hodges.

Salina. Kan, March ga volunteer
motorcycle patrol for the protection of
the state from automobile bandits and
other law breakers who use motor cars
to carry out their criminal designs is
the plan outlined bv Phil E. thinner
man, secretary of the Short Grass
Motorcycle club, in a letter to Cover
nor George H. Hodges. After calling
attention to the fact that the law
breaking of the future will be done
through the medium of the motor and
citing the instances of the Nebraska
bank robbers and others, Mr. thinner
man outlines his plan for capturing
these offenders, as follows:
Now, here's the plan: The Kansas
Short Grass Motorcycle club stands
ready to furnish the state of Kansas
q volunteer motorcycle patrol, the func-
ton of which would be the detection
and apprehension o. criminals and the
prevention of crime. Make it abso-
1utely non-political, putting some man
at the head of 1t who is fitted for the
place, with a captain over each con-
gressional district, with Iieutenants in
each county and sergeants in each
town; giving each the power of a dep
uty sheriff, and subject to the call of
his superior; allowing each sergeant to
select one or two men to be subject to
call for duty when occasion requires.
THE movement of criminals is gen.
orally known to the police of cities,
end should the Kansas City police, for
instance, get information that band
of criminals were starting out through
Kansas, the chief, by promptly notify
ing the chief of the Kansas motor
cycle patrol (who in turn would hand
the information down through his Or
ganizatfon), would make it nigh i'm
possible for such a gang to penetrate
very far into Kansas.
This patrol could work under some |
department of the governors office and !
the chief thereof would take his or |
ders from the attorney general or |
other proper source. The plans of or !
ganization would naturally have to be j
worked out, and this could be done by |
the department under which such a |
patrol would be handled"

WANT CITY RECORD BOOK.
Great Bend Engineer Has Combina-

Great Bend, Kan, March 6.-The
city council of Great Bend has con-
Guided that it doesn't mind the alb
sence of the city engineer whose ser
vices were dispensed with about a
month ago, but the fact that the COM
bination to the vault IN the office
which he occupied has been changed
and the city's record book of the new
sewer system is missing has made the
members of that body somewhat
wrathful. At a council meeting the
mayor was instructed to send a letter
to the eX-city engineer requesting him
to come back within five days and
open the vault or an expert would be
hired at his expense. If the record
book fails to materialize, the council
instructs the mayor to state that he
would be arrested on a charge of
larceny. His last months salary
amounted to $50, but he had an extra
bill of over $500 at the last session,
which he claimed was for extra work
which the council refused to allow.

Mrs. B: "strinsg," unmanageable hair
Is caused by grease and dirt which, If
neglected, will produce dandruff, the
worst of all hair dangers. Keep the head
perfectly clean with an occasional sham
poo with canthrox. You will be delighted
with the result. Get a package of can
throx from any druggist and dissolve a
teaspoonful in a cup of hot water This
massaged into the scalp creates a rich
bland lather which gently and thorough
ly cleanses the hair. After rinsing and
drying, the scalp is left sweet and plant
and the hair is fluffy, beautiful and easy
to arrange.
B. A: 1t is an easy matter to reduce
your weight if the parnotis treatment Is
used. This is harmless and quickly dis
solves fat-tissues, without leaving the
skin flabby or wrinkled. Prepare it at
home by getting four ounces parnotis
from the druggist and dissolve in 112
pints hot water, strain and take table
spoonful before each meal Use regular

The fact that he used a skeleton key to

more severe, and the further fact that
Martin was found to be guilty of petty
thievery which had been going on from
