LAST LAUGH

There was time, some months
ago, when Chief Loomis enjoyed
a couple of good laughs because
his speed officers had been able
to arrest Chief of Police Lang on
traffic violation charges. while
the Seattle police head was visit
ing in Tacoma.
Yesterday afternoon the tables
were turned. Chief Loomis was
in Seattle, and left his car stand
ing against a curb, at a place
where the law says one must not.
He was legally arrested by a
regular, unsuspecting officer, and
taken to police headquarters.
Lang enjoyed good laugh and
then let LOOMS go.
