the question of whether McGregor

CHASING THE PATROL WILL
WEAR THE BURGLARS OUT.

As soon as the burglar, or burglars
is or are gra a6bed, hitch them on be-
hind. Let the burglar walk and Y he
can't keep up let him run. Burglars
would get tired OF this treatment
after awhile and they'd 90 over to
New Jersey or back to Chicago.
Make the car an armored cara

can laugh at the two-handed gum
men and pop back at them from shel-
ter while their bullets spatter lead on
the steel sides OF the cur-then get
out and arrest them.
It's a great scheme, and when 1t IS

that the Lieutenant de luxe be given

that mass meeting of his country

The action against DR.. killilea grows
out OF statements he made before the
Allied Patriotic Societies league last
Thursday in which he said the Red

C2ecko- SlOvakians We're spreading
Bolsheyism among school children.
After vigorously denying that his
people had been given to spreading

DR.. KAkilea, when informed of the
contemplated action against him,
said:

BUILDERS SEE BASIS FOR ALL
TO COMPROMISE.

That builders ot the most important
kind are seeking o fair chance TO go
ahead is shown by statement to-day
from Weyner IL. Watt. who has built
several big structures in the best resi-
Dental sections. He Is a governor
of the new Real Estate Investors
Corporation, embracing most OF the
prominent builders and operators in
the West End, Riverside, Fifth, Madi-
son and Park Avenue apartment
house districts. He recognizes the
rapidly changing conditions OF mate
rails and labor. and in discussing the
new rent laws he declares that "the
entire real estate community has been
made to suffer through the greed of a
few unscrupulous landlords" With
his associates, he seeks to compro-
mise this situation, and it is evident
that builders are willing and eager
to have q normal supply of city apart
ments awaiting tenants at the end OF
the two-year restrictions imposed by
the new laws or by November, 1922,
even II they cannot agree to start a
building campaign sooner in the face
of high money, labor, materials and
other handicaps, most OF which, in
the opinion of the general run OF
builders, could be readily adjusted.
To-day the builder is confronted
with a per cent. interest rate on his
loan, the payment OF large bonuses
70 procure any financing, and the
custom of lending institutions TO loan
on a basiS OF pre-war COSTS" said he.
'+These present serious obstacles and
the high rates demanded are due to the
ease with which money can be in
vested elsewhere on more favorable
terms. Bankers, who established the
& per cent. rate by their loans on
foreign Government bonds, forced this
country into paying the same high
rates as Europe. 1t Is very unhealthy
and unjust, especially with all Of our
immense wealth and credit resources
II would seem necessary to stop this
financing OF foreign Governments al
| high interest rates and allow the
money to be used in this country al
reasonable rates by American busi-
| ness.
when this is done, IL money does
not flow naturally into 6 per cent
mortgages, it would then seem neces-
sary for the Legislature to find means
of Inducing banks and insurance com
panles to loan larger fixed proportions
! OF their funds on mortgages, We
must take action quickly along some
Of these lines because the tremendous

population so greatly that another

BURGLARS WILL BE SCARED
OUT OF THEIR WITS AND TOWN.

The dogs will make as much noise
as the motorcycle il they're good
dogs. This will wake up the neigh
bOrhood where the burglars are at
work, and keep the people up nights.
What chance has a burglar with all
the people sitting up and waiting for
him? Burglars always work in the
dark, and as soon as the lights are
turned on they beat It.
The dogs can be trained so that af-
ter a while they can bark without be-
ing told. Then, If the night Is cold
or stormy, the Lieutenants won't have
TO go out. They can send the dogs
oHt to bark. This will warn the burg
lars and they will go into hiding. BY
this time the people will have n
knowledge of what the dogs are bark
ing FOR. They Will know that there
nre burglars at work, or ought to be.
and prepare themselves accordingly.
Burglars won't need lookouts any
more. The motorcycle can be heard
all over the precinct as soon as the
Lieutenant starts out. This will make
one less Of the gang TO whack Up
with and one less for the cops 10
capture. It will be easier all around
Noise? Sure thereli be noise. Lots
Of noise.
But" objected President Curran
"if the crooks hear your Licutenants
roaring through the streets after mid
night they'll fold up their Kit bags
and steal away"

clnred Mayor Hylan. I'VE want o

Acting Police Commissioner John
A. Leach, who has more good ideas
of how the department should be run
than Commissioner Enright has
shown in all his incumbency, was
before the Board OF Estimate yester-
day advocating a motorcycle patrol.
He wanted $4,000 put aside to buy
motorcycles with side cars, and the
board transferred the amount from
ether funds. A cop will "chauf' the
cycle while the Lieutenant lounges
back in the "bathtub" and keep an
eye open for patrolmen who don't
patrol and on burglars and other
crooks.
lLs q good idea! Great luea! Bu'
it's only the beginning. The Evening
World hastens to back it up ant
show how it can be extended to the
entire service.
Just simple motorcycle with al
old-fashioned side car would be toe
primitive. Why not q real car with
all the trimmings? Have green
lights on it and carry wireless and
gong. Oh, yes; a big gong Scare
the life out OF the burglar and make
lis liver jump. Scare him SO he can't
run and then grab him.
Have the car painted with radium
so the burglar can see it as well as
.ear It coming. Have a couple OF
dogs for outriders; dogs that will
bark, dogs that know how to bark
bark right out.
