GOVERNOR HAS
PLAN TO unity
POLICE FORCES
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
BILL PROPOSES NEW sYs.
TEN IN STATE.
Other Departments To Be Merged In
State Police.

Governor Alex. J. Groesbeck, in pre-
senting TO the Legislature the Depart.
ment OF Public Safety bill. introduced
by Senator Forester of Deckerville.
has outlined an entirely new system
TOT preventing crime, preserving the
peace and apprehending criminals in
Michigan. His idea is to create a state
department which shall bind together
all OF the police agencies of the state
In one organization for the enforce
ment OF the laws.
Tne Forrester bill proposes that the
Michigan State Police. the State Fire
Marshars office, the State Oil Inspec-
tors Office and the prohibition law
enforcement OF the Food and Drug
department be merged in a new de-
partment headed by a commissioner
appointed by the governor, with ap-
prevail OF the state senate. This de-
partment is to act under orders OF the
governor and to assist the attorney
general in all investigations where it's
aid may be needed.
The evil which this bill seeks TO cor
rect is the divided law enforcement
system Of the present time whereby
local officials work independently in
their respective jurisdictions, giving
opportunity for local influences to
paralyze the operation of the laws in
some instances.
Such Il department Of public safety
as is proposed would cooperate with
every local official and would give the
peace officers in the smaller towns
and counties the advantage of trained
detectives, finger-print experts and the
like. At the same time, this state
, agency would keep every police officer
"on his toes" in enforcement of the
laws lest he be called TO account for
wilful dereliction.
Getting the Bandits.
Every telegraph and telephone com
pany is required to give immediate
service to police officials under the
terms of the bill. This is intended to
provide means for catching bandits
and other criminals by means Of rapid
notification of police officials in all the
territory surrounding the scene OF a
crime Any police official wilfully fail
ing to cooperate with the department
of public safety in the enforcement OF
the laws is made liable TO removal
from office.
The bill would continue the State
Police, although under a somewhat
differentplan of organization and with
broader powers and duties 1t is esti-
mated that it would save the state
very considerable amount OF money
each year through the consolidation
OF departments.
Governor Groesbeck has expressed
the opinion that present conditions
are such that a centralized and more
effective organization OF police agen-
cies is, necessary to cure the epidemic
OF banditry and other violent crime
and he has given his ideas, based on
his four years experience as attorney
general, in the Forester bill.
1t is anticipated that there will be
opposition to the bill from elements
which desire a continuance of the old
system of local influence in enforce
ment of the state laws.

The bureau OF standards says that
glass would slowly disntegrate when
buried In moist soil. The action on
the glass would be due primarily 10
water and alkall. The dislntegrating
action would vary with the compost.
ton or character Of the glass and the
conditions that obtained in the soil.
This action would probably be ex-
fremely slow with any glass. and II
would probably be centuries before
some glass would be completely dis
integrated.

WILL
DO HONOR TO
SILENT GIANTS
Forest Protection Week to Be
Observed Throughout
Nation.

Officials Of the State department Of
conservation in a bulletin issued today
asked Indiana citizens universally to
unite in observance of May 22-2S, set
aside in a proclamation by President
Harding as Forest Protection Week"
While the State of Indiana owns no
extensive forest tracts and much of the
wealth of timber which gave this State
a proud name as one of the greatest
hardwood producing areas in the Union,
has disappeared before timber and
logging crews, State officials take the
view that protection Of our remnant Of
timber should be instilled in the mind
of every patriotic citizen.
Indiana, primarily an agricultural
State, has standing today (saw timber
size) approximately 15,20O.OO0 board feet
of hard woods consisting principally OF
white oak, beech, maple, elm, ash,
hickory, some gum, poplar and little
walnut. This is distributed over ap-
proximately 100000 acres or about Z
per cent of our land area, according to
Charles C. Dean, State forester.
Wood-using industries Of Indiana are
using approximately $4,000 board feet
Of lumber annually, or at the rate Of
80 cubic feet per capita. This is ex-
elusive of timber used as fuel, which
latest statistics show is about equal the
consumption of wood for other pur-
poses. Therefore, Indiana is consuming
about 800 cubic feet per capita annually.
Some authorities, namely the United
States Bureau of Statistics, place the
annual per capita consumption at $50
cubic feet per capita.
The bulletin points out that the In
diana fire law makes it punishable for
any one who through carelessness starts
a fire on his place and permits the
flames to spread to the land of an ad-
Joining owner and in1ict property loss.
Section 1 of this law reads:
BE 1t enacted by the General Assem-
bly, Of the State of Indiana, That any
person who shall set fire to any woods
belonging to another or shall place a
fire on his property and permit it to
spread to the woods of another shall be
liable to a fine of not less than s. or
not more than $50; and furthermore,
shall be liable to the owner or owners
for the full damages sustained by reason
thereof 1t shall be the duty of the
prosecuting attorney to investigate and
prosecute each case, and failure to do
so shall be sufficient evidence for his
removal from office and his bondsmen
become liable for the damages by fire"

HAvE.DARk HAIR
 AN!DLooK YOUNG
NOBODY CAN TELL WHEN YOU DARKEN GRAY, FADED HAIR
 WITH SAGE TEA

Grandmother kept her hair beau tifully darkened, glossy and attrac- tive with a brew of Sage Tea and :.ulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at. any drug store for 'Wyeth 'sl Sage and Sulphur Com pound."i you will get a large bottle of this .old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depend ed upon to restore natural color and beauty to- the hair.
 A wellknown downtown drug gist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now becausesit darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied-it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disap- pears ;after another application or two, it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. Advertisement )
