only kept the water from flying so high
in the air. and did not stop its flow.

eral veteran detectives predicted that
within a week the sleuths would be
hurrying around to Centre street morn
ings to look over the prisoners. and the
former black mask and rollcall would
again be in full operation.
Since the elimination OF the line
up and the distribution Of the deteC-
tive squad through the precincts the
city has been overrun with burglars.
Even when captured alleged lawbreak-
ers have been escaping conviction, ow-
ing to the paucity Of evidence at the
command of the police, deprived MS

which formerly made the work ef-
fective.
Even the identity Of crook mat

system, has proved one Of the most
troublesome problems with the detec-
tives scattered about the city.
The detectives are looking forward

HAPPY NEW YEAR

The new year has been ushcred
in by some of the finest weather
that could be looked for. New
Year means new beginnings. new
hopes and new experiences. Every
wear we stand at it's opening and
resolve to do better, to live nobler
lives. But the backward glance
does not always show successful
accomplishment. Still, the new
wear looks as bright and inviting
as ever. It is the time OF new
things and our entire state is
throbhing with newness and no
yelty. What lies before? What will
the new year hold for US, ouI
homes, our community, our state
our country? Undaunted we will
begin the march of routine, begin
the advance into daily recurring
activities. OF the past we viii
think with thankful recollection
for the present we will labor witt
happy conviction, for the future
let us hope, with bright anticipa
ton. Thus may our new year he
come a year of greatness in growth
in usefulness and in service.

Of complaint from some one not IN
