city, particularly in police circles inasmuch
as it does away with efforts of the sheriffs
office to duplicate the work of the city de-

unsolved because deputy sheriffs by their
cumbersome methods revealed information
that causd the guilty persons to leave the
city before they had been located.
A special appeal is to be made to service
men during the coming week. Literature

police who, shortly after he took office, Sc
cured the removal of the ban which pro-
hibited Camp Lewis soldiers from visiting
Seattle and reciting other favors alleged to
have been shown service men, is being pre-
pard and a committee of former service
men organized to direct the campaign among
the veterans. Pictures of the returned SER
vice men appointed to duty in the police
department, together with the record of DO
lice promotions accorded returned veterans
is to be part of the propaganda used
among the service men.
