RAISE STANDARD
OF POLICEMEN

That the efficiency of the police de-
partment should be raised and kept
at a high standard by not only in
creasing the pay In order that a posi-
tion as policeman will be worth while,
thus drawing to II better men, but
by making the requirements suffi-
ciently strict to keep out the undesir-
abies and also making the position
permanent, is the opinion of Edward
Fogarty, member OF the civil service
commission /
There should be twice as many
men in the police ferces today as there
are and their pay should be on grad
uated plan and much higher than it is
now" said Fogarty today.
Plain Clothes Men Nee6ed
The reason why Fogarty believes
that the force should be increased is
that the criminal population in Homo
lulu has Increased greatly during the
past few years and will probably
grow greater as time gons on. What
is most needed he says, sis more
Plain clothes men,"
In speaking of salaries, Fogarty be-
lieves that policemen should be
started in at $50 "a month, and each
year that they are with the force have
it Increased to certain amount and
few years. He also thinks that a PEN
sion fund should be started to take
care OF the men who grow old in the
service, are injured, CT if killed, to
care for their families.
Commission Is Much Needed
In regard to the civil service COM
mission, Fogarty firmly believes that
no police department can be efficient
without such an organization, which
will pick the men by examination
who are capable of caring for the
safety of a city. He deploTes- the
fact that the amendments to the city
and county charter proposes to do
away with the commission and it is
understood that the commission as a
whole is working to make 1t perma-
nent board. At the meeting last Sat
nrday many suggestions were made
along these lines and it is likely that
other meetings will be held to con-
slider further the problems.
Firemen Are underpaid
Fogarty added that the fire depart
ment was also unrepaid and many of
his opinions relating to the police de-
partment would also apply to them.
IF the suggestions made above are
not followed Fogarty added, "the
people cannot expect to see the de-
partment improved. The salaries of
both the police and fire departments
should be raised Immediately by the
board of supervisors"

RREEDS OF POULTRY
SUITED TO LOUISIANA

In selecting a breed or variety or
poultry for average farm purposes
the following points should be kept IN
mind:
1. A medium size is desirable;
one which will produce profitably both
eggs and meat.
2. A solid colored variety-white,
black or bluffs more easily kept uni
form than a parti-colored variety.
8. Birds with light colored plum

Telephone Courtesy

The people who get the greatest
amount of good out of their telephone
are those who talk over it as though face
to face.
Courtesy smooths out difficulties and
promotes the prompteSt possible connec-
tons.
The operators of the BELL System
are trained to be patient and polite under
all circumstances but they will do better
work if they meet with patience and
p0liteness on the part of the telephone
users.
The fact that you cannot see the
operator or the other party should not
cause you to overlook this. The best
results come through the practice of
mutual courtesy.

with the task of raising a $l00000,O00

as they are able.
