St. Louis Motorcycle
Police Are "Fordized"

The motorcycle squads OF ali impor-
tant cities have done nearly everything
to make themselves less conspicuous TO
the joyrider and the chauffeur who
thinks speed laws are made only to be
broken. They have donned citizens
clothes. khaki uniforms. etc, but the
weather eye OF the motorist usually Is
given considerable exercise through
backward glances, as with the other he
reads the sign, Speed limit fifteen miles
an hour" and then steps on the accel-
orator until the speedometeT registers
twenty, twenty-five and over an hour.
st. Louis speeders have the habit OF
slowing down at the sight of every
motorcycle and then picking UP again
as soon as they discover that 1t Is not
a police department cycle. Because OF
this It has become almost impossible for
the Mound City motorcycle squad to OBJ
tain evidence of speeding or to make
arrests.
To meet the emergency the speeder-
chasing policemen will use Ford road
sters. several that have been used for
less exciting work in the police depart
ment having been assigned to the motor
cycle squad. The policemen I'm the Ford
speeder-chaserB will wear civilian
clothes. and 1t Is expected that speed
law violators will be unable to recognize
the police Fords from the many others
to be seen on the streets.

Young, Of St Louis, is expected TO add
an element Of uncertainty which Will
deter speeders. whether or not the Ford
is able to overtake them. II the driver

Long, recently Of Washington, d. G., fol-
lowed the hounds mounted on an Indian
motorcycle. over farms, plowed ground,
crossing streams and following the
rocky bed Of creek whore even horses
would not so, Mr.. Long kept well up to
the lead.
After the hunt was called off Mr..
Long performed a valued service for
many owners Of the dogs by returning
them in the sidecar attached to his
machine. bringing back forty dogs in
this way, four to six enjoying the novel
ride at a time. Those that he could
not carry he tied in q convenient To-
cation until he could come for them.
As a result Of this service on the first
days hunt the dogs were fresh for the
second day. The fox hunt covered n
thirty TO forty miles run, and as the
value of the dogs ran up into thousands
of dollars the owners were delighted
to have them found and brought home.

But during the past winter the
Germans have rather taken the place
Of the Austrians as the object of pop
ular dislike. There has appeared
among customers in the shops a re-
fusal to buy goods advertised as Ger
man. In company with a Roman
friend I made, during the winter, a
number OF excursions on foot among
the mountains around Rome. As our
appearance marked us for foreigners
we were repeatedly subjected to an
noyance, hostility and danger OF arrest
until II was discovered that we were
Americans. when we received imme-
diately he courtesy for which Italians
Of all social classes are Justly famous.
In all we found our interlocu-
tors animated by a strong hatred Of
Germans and the fear that Italy was
filled with German spies. Four q my
friends, n an Englishman, were ac-
tually arrested at different times dur
ing the winter and early spring and
released with very sincere apologies
as soon as II was discovered that they
were not Germans.
