them to gather every walnut, hickory

their homes this fall to help make gas
masks for the American troops in

nuts that the charcoal for gas masks

There is said to be a ready and prof.

Rise to Emergencies Despite

BUBLTN. Nov, BIN these trying
times in Ireland. when political ami

haps no body OF people more knocked
about than the Irish police,
They are the perpetual buffer be-
tween conflicting parties and they also
stand in a similar position between the
government and the people Their pow
ers Of endurance are frequently tested.
and their diplomatic talents are almost
proverbiai,
Many a difficult situation has been
bridged by a timely suggestion from
the policeman. and many an angry mob
has been kept In check more by his
timely lest than his power to break
heads.
An instance of the Irish polioeman's
proverhial tact occurred at the Phoenix
park races. There vas an immense
throng Of the elite OF Irish society
present.
In the members paddock there was
a gentleman who holds a very high
position In a western country, A wom-
an, fashionably attlred, stepped up n
struck him violently In the face, The
policeman on duty invited the pair to
accompany him to the adjoining police
station.
A sergeant having heard both sides OF
the case turned Judge, and in a rich
broRue sent them both away with:
'Oi'm very sure neither Of ye wants
to see ser names in the newspapers,
so AXE my biessin' and leave It alone"
The instance IL typical OF many which
stand to the credit OF our Irish police
