Uniformed PatrOlman Puts Revolver
Back in Pocket, Telling Occupants

A Rock Island patrolman last night
halted an automobile party at the
point of revolver because he believed
that the headlights on the car were
burning too brightly.
Miss Kathleen Dee, daughter of
John Dee, who conducts a garage on
Third avenue. was driving the ma
chine and had a party of young folks
with her. The machine was travelling
east on Seventh avenue near Thirty
eighth street, when the copper jumped
out into the road.
Whipping a revolver from his pock-
ct he flashed it on the crowd. He
pointed it directly at the machine and
yelled, Halt"
When the car stopped he placed the
gun back in his pocket and told Miss
Dee that she should turn the lights
lower, as they were burning so bright
ly that the DINNER ordinance was be-
ing violated.
Miss Dee said that she had made
the lights burn bright because an Of
ficer in the loop" had told her that
they were not burning bright enough.
1T ought to be investigated, Mr..
Dee told police authorities today. THE
officer might have become nervous and
pulled the trigger and some one of the
party would have been wounded or
killed"

Police intend to investigate the mat
ter. The beats Of two patrolmen end
at Thirty-eighth street and Seventh
avenue and authorities were unable
to say today which officer stopped the
machine. The investigation to be
made, it is expected. will reveal the

SKINNY ARBUCKLE.
Pimples and blackheads may be the
result of so many causes that what
will cure them for one person will be
useless for another. If faithful trials
Of external remedies do not benefit, a
physician should be consulted. Often
applications of a lotion made from
half an ounce of glycerine, a pint of
camphor water and quarter of an
ounce of boraX will prevent pimples
and blackheads. In any event, this
mixture is good for the skin, if used as
a substitute for water. 1t must be al
lowed to dry on.
