As AN innovation. spirit squad
n has been suggested as desirable
addition to the Metropolitan police
force. This, it is argued, would great
ly tend to clear up some mysterious
robberies that have been reported to
the central Office.
The reason why spirit squad is
necessary was told the other day by
Mai. Richard Sylvester, superintend-
emit Of police. Major Sylvester de-
clares that many of the robberies
which have been reported to the POI
lice occurred only in the dreams of
those who reported them.
Speaking of the queer kink in the hui
man brain which permits such things
TO happen, Major Sylvester said:
