NEN' POLICE SIGNAL

 OBSTACLE TO CRIME

Installation of an automatic police signal and reporting system, pro- posed in a bond issue for S2e,00 to be voted on May 27, would be big step in the direction of crime abate ment in Phoenix, Police Chief George o. Brisbois and other police officials declared yesterday. Such a system, they said, would be a constant men ace to crime and an ever-present ob- stacle in the avenue of escape of criminals.
 Twenty signal and reporting sta- tions will be installed in Phoenix if bonds for the improvement are voted at the special election. The system which operates similar to the fire alarm system, would connect directly with police headquarters.
 Each signal station would have an automatic lever. which, when pulled, would sound an alarm at police headquarters. The alarm would au- tomatically record the location of the box and the time sounded.
 Creation of a flying squadron" would be one of the results of such system. if was announced yeSter-

Dny Mink sat on the Big Rock in sne middle of the Smiling Pool. He naa been fishing al the morning but nor some reason the fish were too smart for him and he had not caught so much as the smallest minnow. He Was tired and hungry, was Billy siihk, and because he was tired and hungry he was cross. All about him ne could hear sounds of joy because sister South Wind and Mistre ss spring had arrived on the Green Meadows. Everypody seemed happy Out himself. and seeing everybody else happy made Billy Mink stiIl more cross. It is hard work to De happy with an empty stomach very hard work. indeed. And Billy Mink's stomach was very, very empty-so empty that it seemed to him that he couldn't possibly fill it even if he should eat and eat all day long. So Billy Mink sat on the Big Rock in the Smiling Pool scowling across the Green Meadows and wondering where he could get a dinner now that he couldn't catch fish. Suddenly a

 A comprehensive plan for addi- tional police protection, not possible under the present system, is being worked out by the police officials. This plan, though tentative, would provide for the appointment of prom inent citizens in all sections of the city as special police officers. As such, these citizens would be pro vided with keys to the signal sta tions, from where they could report accidents and crimes.
 Regular patrolmen would have master keys which would admit them to the interior of the report ing station, where private tele- phone connected directly with police headquarters would be at hand
 Location of these signal and re- porting stations has not been decided upon but they would be scattered throughout the city, it was declared.

BLOND GIRL INVOLVED Jane's Book-Chapter 36

I did not see my husband for two
 days. However, he phoned to me
 frequently, but briefly.
 The most important news was that he and Morrison thought they had a
 clew to the cause of the explosion in the munitions plant One of the
 bodies discovered was that of a man
 with eyes of different colors. Now
 Shrys had told us that she would
 recognize anywhere the man who had frightened her in Certeis' cellar He was remarkable because he had one
 blue and one brown eye! Investiga- ton proved that the man killed in the explosion had been employed by
 the Lorimer Chemical company for only a few days. Morrison and Bob decided that he had planted a bomb for revenge, and by some mischahce had been destroyed in his own death trap.
 Our next news about the jewels
 came by long distance to Morrison. Two men had been seized by the fed eral authorities while going aboard ship for South America A bag they had fitted the description of Bob's
 piece of luggage All marks had been
 removed from 1t. It contained only a travellers outfit But in the mans possession were several postal re- celptS. They proved that the gems
 had been packed inside candied fruits
 and chocolate bonbons and had been mailed to a girl in Buenos Aires. The consignor was the taxi chauffeur who had picked us up near Certeis house the man whom Bob had locked in the closet of our guest room.
 Morrison had called 1t an inside job" This man, in confessing, inn plicated a red-haired girl of our town whose name he did not know. Nor rison was to find it!

 Hello, Billy Mink" said the voice. | Isn't it a fine day?"
 Billy Mink turned around There on the bank of the Smiling Pool sat Peter Rabbit. Billy scowled more than ever.

 Peter Rabbit pretended not to mo- tice how cross Billy Mink was.
 Aren't you glad that Mistress Spring has come 2" asked Peter.
 ''Nol" snapped Billy Mink. Why should I be?"
 Because now we'll all have plenty TO eat without having to work so hard to get it." replied Peter.
 Billy Mink made wry face. "She hasn't brought me anything!" he snarled. She's made it harder than ever for me to catch fish because she has put so much water in the Smiling Pool and Laughing Brook that the fish have all hidden in places that can't find, and I'm half starved"

 this before Bob came home again.
 But l couldn't guess why she should
 have let the man cut-unless-it was
 to stand in with kim. This was un-
 satisfactory and vague. But when he
 came home, Bob mad this to say:
 T think the girl was daffy about the jewels. While we were hunting I sometimes wondered if sine was really

 them for herselfi Absurd, maybe!' D He unused, for a moment, then went on: By love. That night in the car. when Chrys tainted, told Kath- crime to keep her eye on the bag, Now I wonder"
