MOTOR OFFICERS

New Police Commissioner in
st. Louis Bans Civilian
Traffic Guarding.

AS is the common practice for most
cities, the police department of the
citv of St Louis for the past few
wears had a large number of police
men in civilian clothes. and even in
some cases civilians patrolling in au-
tomobiles in order to intercept vio-
lators of the speed law.
Stewart Mcdonald, who was recent
ly appointed a police commissioner
of the city of St. Louis. is also presi-
dent Of the Moon Motor Car Com
panv. and while fully concurring in
the matter of rigidly handling care
less driving and violations Of the
traffic and speed ordinances, has TAX
en- an entirely different view OF the
situation. He has placed all motor
cycle officers back in uniform.
Believes They Are Lnw-Abiding.
Mr.. Mcdonald states he is of the
81 per cent of the violators of the
speed and traffic ordinances do so un-
consciously: that they believe not
only in making the laws. but also in
upholding them.
"Why. then" says Mr.. Mcdonald
should they be hunted down with a
lot of gum shoe methods that are ap-
plicabIe only to thieves. crooks. bur
glars. etc."
He is of the opinion that the speed
and traffic violations can even be di-
minished by the very fact that the
motor cycle policemen are in full uni
form.
"The average man or the average
car owner" he says, when he sees 4

being carried on so well that the trus-

Negro Boy Awarded
$50. for being polite

(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Chicago, Ill, Jan. 10.-Paul Rayfield

this city, has taken an honorable place
among Chicago's politest citizens. He
is $50. the richer by reason Of this fact
and "colored" 7" Chicago is highly pleased
with this latest honor that has come
nnsought to the race in this section.
The Chicago Tribune is awarding daily
$50 prizes to the politest person discov-
cred by its 'tPolite Editor.'' On the Sd
of January the editor ran across young
Paul Rayfield johnson. He had been
travelling far and wide through the be-
nighted streets Of the city and had
about given up his searching for the
day. when he ran into Paul at the cor
ner Of Wabash avenue and Thirty-ffth
street.
The youthful Negroes politeness' over
whelmed the editor. The story goes
that he was 'sknocked cold'' and that
it took him several minutes to recover
his equanimity under the stress Of the
very unusual circumstances Of finding
member of the "cullud'' race the
politest person Of a hard days travel
and search. t.4,
Paul Rayfeld johnson is wearing his
honors easy and becomingly; and has
promised to use the prize money in an
earnest endeavor to start on the road of
procuring a good education. His only
relative in the city is an aged grand
mother who promises to aid the boy to
carry out his intentions in this particu-
lar. gsss .#s
A considerable number of colored citi-
