NAMES FOX
ASCH|EF Of
DETECTIVES
Commissioner COuzens
Acts on Suggestion
Made by Times

The prediction made by Police
Commissioner James Couzens TO
The Times last Saturday that there
would be a change in the orgSniza-
tion OF the police department was
borne out Thursday morning, when
the commissioner announced that
he had appointed Inspector Ed. Fox
az chief OF detectives.
The Times stated last Saturday
that the detective bureau had no re-
sponsible head--that the men were
reporting to four different inspect
ors and didn't know at times which
way 20 turn. This was given as one
OF the reasons why such poor re-
suits have been shown In the plain
clothes mems work on the long list
OF slsyings and robberies that have
occurred In the last few months.
In naming Fox as head OF the
detective bureau Mr.. Couzens takes
a great load OF responsibility from
the shoulders OF supt. Ernst Mar
quardt, who has been the chief OF
both the detective and uniformed dl-
visions OF the department Here
after Marquardt viii have general
supervision OF the whole depart
ment. but Chief Of Detectives Fox
will be answerable for all the work
that ls done in the detective bureau.
and II will be up TO him to show
results 10 Marquardt and the com
missioner.
In announcing me change Com
missioner CouEens stated that he
had had the plan under considera.
ton for several days He realized
some time ago, he said. that the
city should have a chief OF detec.
uves. but he spent several days In
picking the man whom he believed
best qualified.
Until two years ago. there was
central authority OF detectives, but
in 1918. Commissioner Gillespie
abolished the once OF chief leav
ing the detective work directly in
charge OF inspectors.
The appointment OF Fox came aft.
er a long session between Commits.

and Inspector Fox. Fox left the

oppose the supreme power of spiritual good of divine Life, and Truth and Love. The scene of this conflict or transformation. IS in the individual human consciousness. and the making over is a question of mortal belief versus spiritual understanding.
 So, whether the thing pressing upon our material sense be pain, sorrow. poverty, fear, or sin, we get our vic tory over it, and over the discourage r1' it II would argue. as we refuse to listen to it and turn thought to reflect the presence and power of divine Mind. All materiality, pleasant or un- pleasant. is temptation; and all con- quest of it brings encouragement Temptation is disposed of by putting it's whole train of suggestions out of thought. And this Christian Science can do for us, step by step, with it's teaching of the truth about man and it's refutation of the lie about him. There fore it is question, not of how we feel, or of just what is crowding upon us. but of what we are listening to- what we are accepting as true. And he who listens always to the goodness of God watches for it and works for it cannot be discouraged. The cernor- strated presence of God must put dis couragement to flight

poand before the new crop comes in. in September. Since MT. Perkins com mittee advocated the use of rice as d cheap and healthful food the wholesale price has almost doubled and the retail price has advanced from five to eight cents a pound
 The increase. according to the doal- CTS is due to the increased consumption rather than speculation. England and France are drawing heavily on this country, and rice is one Of the principal articles of export. in addition, the great nlt "citv "iven to usefulness of rice as a cheap food and good substitute for potatoes in the iast two months has doubled the consumption in this country, they say. The result is that many mills in the south have already disposed of their entire output. and have closed down until the new crop begips to come in.
