NEW RECRUIT TO NEW YORK

lice alarms concerning stolen auto

Messages of this sort are flashed
broadcast every night between the
hours of 1880 and 1870, but the
station atop police headquarters is
kept open constantly to receive mes
sages from other points. u.
The effectiveness of the radio as
a detective agency is limited only in
the lack Of cooperation, so far, of
police departments Of other cities !;
although officers in charge of the
station here said they are receiving
operators within their receiving ra
dius. Heading the messages sent
out every night is a request that all
amateurs hearing the alarms copy
them and deliver their contents to
their respective police department J.
In the case of stolen automobiles, a
brief description is given, including
the make OF car, the license number
and the motor number ..-.
No Limit To Effectiveness.
Police Sergeant Charles Z. Pearce.
who originated the use of the radio
for detective purposes, said there was
no limit to its effectiveness il other
police departments will install SIM
liar stations. Although good results
have been attained through the anna
teurs, there are several elements in
that method that hinder the work, he
said. Aside from having to depend
upon the honesty and zeal of the
amateurs, they usually operate their
whims may not always lead them to
listen when messages are being sent.
Sergeant Pearce said there are ma
ny obvious advantages of the radio
over the use of the telegraph. In the
first place, 1t covers given ar ID
instantaneously, whereas the tele-
graph can cover only few points
along one line at best. Speed Is
one of the most important factors in
sending alarms, so that police all
over the. sending area may be on the
cheaper, he said, for the plant here
can be operated at the expense of
burning only few electric bulbs.
Another point in its favor is the re-
moval from danger of the line being
cut off by the very criminals the de-
tectives are trying to trace.
The efficacy of the radio also was
pointed out in discovery of Grimm
ality on board incoming and out
going ships. Ships bringing to this
country suspected criminals could
easily tip off the police department
when they near port, and detectives
could be on hand at the dock TO
seize the suspect.

others decided to take the training
but will not be able to do so until
later. Twenty eight men made appli
cation for compensation.
AS there are other ex- service men
who have not yet applied for compen-
sation the Red Cross will be glad to
assist with this. 1t is the desire of the
government that every man having
any disability should apply for COM
pensation, even though at present he
Is not in need of 1t. II the applica-
ton is on file and the mans physical
condition should later justify the
compensation, it will be much easier
