Of.StoLen Police
Meter Vanishes
and Reappears
Detective ALLig0od As
serts Thief Was Fright
ened by His Name.
What's in a name?

What's in a name?
Plenty. II 1t is preceded by De-
tective," is the answer given by
Detective Sergt Frank Alligood,
who i frequently referred to as
"Washington's smallest policeman"
The midget law enforcer bases
this theory on the fact that a mo-
tormeter. which had been stolen
from his automobile last night
while the machine was parked in
front of the District Building. was
discarded by the thief on Four
teenth street. short distance
from the automobile. Later the
meter was found by patrol
man and after a wild search on the
part of the little detective" IT was
returned to the rightful owner.
IF I had not had my name en-
graved upon the meter 1t would
never have been discarded by the
thief" said Alligood. 80 you see,
a name means something after all
"a motormeter."
However. Alligood's theory Is not
permitted to go unchailenged.
1T was discarded because the
thief discovered that it was very
cheap" said the spokesman for the
Opposition" group at headquarters.
Whatever the couse. Alligood is
rejoicing over the return of the
meter. which on several previous
occasions has been stolen and re-
turned.

their force to the growing demand
as voiced in recent citizens associa-

likely selection as a member from

Members of Force Concur.
The action of business men in
addition to the demands of the citi-
Zens' associations is concurred in
by many members of the depart

of the force that appointment of
Acting Superintendent Sullivan to
the position would meet with favor.
The two resolutions were practi-

new chief from the ranks, and II
this is not possible to select a citi-

What Is The Telephone COMPANY?

TT is an organization of 2422 Washington
men and women banded together to give
the people of Washington the best telephone
service brains and energy and effort make
possible
These people-many of whom have dedi-
Gated their lives to this service-are nearly all
natives of this State They are citizens of your
cities and towns-they are your neighbors and
friends. &C..
~
The telephone is a regulated utility; the
price of our service is controlled by state reg
ulation. Our revenues being regulated,
penses must be held in proportion. At no time
during recent years, did our wages keep pace
with those of other industries.
That condition still exists But in spite of
this limitation and the exactng requirements
of war and reconstruction, Washington tele-
phone people now giving you higher
grade of service than at any time in the history
