EACH POLICEMAN
TO SEEK RECRUITS
PatrOlman TO Tell Eligible
Friends How 10 Join Force.

Every policeman on the New York
force from to-day on will constitute a
recruiting committee of one to inform
his friends who are eligible and who
would like TO work" that there is a
good chance TO become a member OF the
police department.
The patrolmen are asked to disabuse
the minds of possible applicants Of the
general belief that there is something
mysterious in the method Of becoming
a policeman. All men who are at least
five feet seven and a half inches tall,
weigh 40 pounds or more and are be
tween twenty-one and twenty-nine
years old are eligible 10 take the tests
for patrolmen on January % next. APP
pications will be received until 4
o'clock on January q.
The theory is that patrolman
should be widely acquainted with the
clean cut young men in his district
and therefore should be able TO pick
men Of good character as future guard
ians of the law.
