GAPS TO Be WORN
by LOCAL POLICE

When Pensacola policemen don their
new winter uniforms within couple
of weeks or more, they will have cast
aside the regulation helmet, and each
officer will wear cap like that now
worn by the mounted and special of
ficers.
The departure from an old-time and
many-year-old regulation was agreed
upon last Friday when one bid was
received for furnishing the uniforms.
Included in the general specifications
were those for cap, and this idea
was adopted. Practically all the pa
trolmen agre to the change, for, de-
spite the cold weather through which
they expect to work during the COM
ing months, they claim that cap is
far more serviceable, and at the same
time more comfortable.

Of the character Of John Van Fam,
the kind and benevolent tradesman
