PARIS, Jan. 29.-Thirty-four mur-
ders, 220 day and night assaults and
nearly 500 serious fights due to
American soldiers occurred in the
Department of the Seine during De-
cember, says the Matin to-day, in
reverting to the subject of the reor-
ganization of the American police in
Paris.

newspaper asserts and, with the new
organization effected. police opera
tions have been carried out on a
wholesale scale, especially in the
arrest Of many American deserters.
Calls Force Inadequate.
The American police in Paris had
previously been chiefly recruited, the
Matin points out, from American Of
ficers and soldiers who had been
wounded. Their main duty was to-
give information to American soldiers
in the streets and to reguate trifing
offenses and carry out night patrols.
The majority of the members of this
force, however, were not capable of
dealing with serious crimes, adds the
newspaper, which cites the December
statistics as proving the ineffCiency
Of such policing

Has His Name on Tires

The originality of Fred Stone the
comedian, is carried even beyond his
work on the stage. Some time ago.
during visit at the plant of the
Pennsylvania Rubber Company,
makers of the Vacuum Cup tires, he
conceived the idea of having a set
of these tires bearing his autograph
worked in rubber on the skids.
General Manager Seneca G. Lewis
Immediately set experts at work,
with the result that such tires were
successfully made. On the Vacuum
Cup cord tires which Mr.. Stone pur-
chased. the Jet black tread and side
wall bear the signature of the COM
edian in bright red. rubber.
The tires. while designed primari-
ly as personal touch, prove even
more. The name. cannot be destroy
ed without mutilating the tire to a
considerable extent. and thus proves
a safeguard against theft. Mr.. Stone
has been ussf of Vacuum Cup
tires for number of years. and 30
enthusiastic has been his advocacy
of their goodness and wearing
qualities. that many prominent per-
sons of his profession have, upon
his recommendation, given them 3
trial, to their satisfaction.
