YOUTH ASKS Job AS
POLICE DETECTIVE
Correspondence Course Sends
WouId-Be SIeuth to Central
Office for Work.

A young man with all the earmarks
Of having Just come from the country
stepped up to the counter at Police
Headquarters today, and inquired of
Central Office Detective Springman If it
was a hard matter to get job as de-
tective.
Easiest thing in the world" replied
Springman. 'All you have to do is
pass q physical and mental examination
and then pound the bricks for about
twenty years in uniform. after which
you stand good show of getting a
plainsclothes job"
But I'm a face artist" the young
nan insisted and l would be a valu-
aefe detective. l never forget a face
Once l see a face l take a mental pic
ture Of IL and can remember it distinct
ly for years.
Finally Springman managed to get the
would-be sleuth to admit he had been
taking a correspondence course in How
TO be a detective"
The young man was a fair sample of
the three or four applicants-almost al
ways country boys-who Apply every
week for Jobs as detectives with the
out to them the lures of big salaries
and easy work. A dozen or more Of
the applicants of this character have
been referred to the Postoffice Depart
ment and some of the schools have
been put out of business but others are
still running and graduates are being
turned out every day.

too, mothers fell i'll, and whole families
Of children through necessity, suffered
from neglect.
So, whenever the mothers were able to
pay, the nursery offered to cooperate
with them, and care for the children at
a charge Of cents a day. If, however
the mother were unable to pay even this
fee. the service was, and is, performed
without charge.
Next an arrangement was perfected
with the Neighborhood House near by,
through which 1t was made possible TO
send the older children left at the day

are from ten to eighteen children. left

none of the mothers who avail them

cannot perform those duties themselves.

1t was but natural that the mothers

was doing so much for tnelr chiiuren'

Nearly a score of mothers are MEM

Club work.
If one Of the members has discovered
an economical and palatable manner of
preparing food, she tells her associates.

communicates the details. An exchange
OF IDEAS among the mothers and the
members of the association is constantly

of their work
The Mothers Club meets on alternate
fridays. and DR.. French delivers lee

IhlS winter however. the work of the
club is to be extended so as to en-

Ceive Donations.

Precautions in London Against Feared
Attacks by the Zeppelin Airships

The police have been given direc-
tons TO take the action necessary to
ensure that orders restricting lighting
are to be carried out both in letter
and in spirit"
Yesterday the police ordered the ex-
tinguishing of $4,000 high power gas
lights IN one section of the town.
Most Of them were attached to shop
fronts. a conference of the electric
lighting companies was held to ar
range measures for complying with
police regulations. The disappearance
Of electric advertising displays from
the main streets and squares has eff
fected a noticeable improvement in the
appearance of the city. The police
have sent men to put up dark cur
tains in the upper stories of the few
high apartment houses, and when the
occupants fail to keep the curtains
drawn at night, they receive a police
visitation and a reminder of the reg
ulation.

AFTER WAR WILL CONTINUE THEIR
FIGHT AGAINST GERMAN POLICY

isting difficulties. 1t Is necessary to go
lack to times of peace to find the expla-
nation. For a long time a great meas
ure OF mistrust. suspicion and antagon-
ism to Germany has been heaping up
abroad-even in the neutral countrise-
ana we now see the effects of this
IN part. says Vorwaerts, this was due
10 Germany's sudden rise in the economic
word and to fear and suspicion on the
part of the great capitalists.
But the jingoes abroad would hard
ly have had such success with their
propaganda IL another factor had not
Decn held. That land which developed
so nightly was at the same time that
land which made it's workmen a pres
ent of an anti-Socialist law, and which
also after the repeal of the law, in
stituted police government of chan
cry and allowed the quality of all cit
liens to exist only on the paper OF
the Prussian constitution.
The comrades abroad can be
assured that the German working class
disapproves today every piratical poll
icy of state, just as it has always dis
approved it, and that it is disposed TO
resist the predatory subjugation of
foreign peoples as strongly as the cir
eumstances permit. The comrades in
foreign lands can be assured that,
though German workmen also are
protecting their fatherland, they will
nevertheless not forget that their in
terests are the same as those of other
proletariat in other countries, who,
like themselves, have been compelled
to go to war against their will, in
deed even against their often-repeated
