Large patent leather gauntlet gloves

form of the traffic squad of the st.
Louis police force. They were tried
out at directing traffic by signals at
night and in dense fog, and were
found to be a great aid. The gloss

beams of light that strike it and they
can be clearly seen for two blocks at
night In fog they are visible long
