He then explained that London ap-

said the force had been depleted by
more than 1000 during the war. many
Of the men never returning. But even
In normal times, he explained, the de-

nlally.
Don't Expect to Be Shot
Have any of your policemen been
killed by criminals, as happens here
once In a while?"
"Why, no; hardly ever; that would
be a record" he replied.
"How's that2" +
"Our men are not armed"
"Why?"

that almost every man entering the

had been a soldier.
Few Policemen Are Killed.
The London copper" works an eight

a half-hour for lunch. The pay is not

and rearing of dependent children OF
deceased policemen, was supported
principally by the athletic activities OF
the police, coupled with concerts by
the five bands maintained by the de-

strel troupe.
Public intoxication is on the wane
in London, the inspector said, for the
public houses" are open only from
six to ten o'clock at night. Recently
London has appointed policewomen,
principally for welfare work and pa
troll duty In the parks and public
places. There was also recently en-
acted law against possession OF hre-
alms-although the criminal element,
he emphasized again, does not carry
a gun.
Inspector Spriggs said the courts
support the police "splendidly," al

Mental House cleaninu.

The majority of people need men,
tai house cleaning. Mental filth and
scum never contribute to clean living.
Learn to tackle big problems and con-
tribute your mite to the worlds prog
ress. When the mind sees things In the
right perspective you can build noble
structures on the concept. And as you
build the ideals will expand In scope,
taking breadth and altitude as the
mind dwells on "the worth while"
There has never been greater chal-
lenge for men of giant mind than now.
Yet so often what glows In promise is
little more than the effervescence Of
fetid Ideals. Men need the clean life
1t offers nothing II cannot fulfill. The
progress Of 1t may be slow. but II rises
to heights never reached by men Of
degraded mentality. You can reform
the past II you think and do right
Step into the forefront and lead men
out of the present unrest into clean,
noble living that will exalt the nation.
