POLICE WILL HELP
IN GUARDING MAILS
Post Office Department
Working Out Plan to Train
Employees to Shoot.

Police departments Of the country
are to cooperate with the postal
service hereafter in guarding the
mails. under plans being worked out
at the. Post Office Department, now
that the United States Marines have
been withdrawn from guard duty at
post offices, terminals and upon mail
trains.
Training postal employees to shoot
will be the first form of cooperation
in which the police of this and other
cities will function under the new
idea. They will assist in the train
ing work, which has been going on
now for about year.
Marines Ready at Call.
The marines will be brought back
on guard duty at the slightest sign
of renewed mail thefts, Post Office
Department officials let il be known
today. While the department is GO
ing ahead with plans 10 safeguard
the mails from within, the marines
are held in reserve" There is not
i the slightest doubt that the devil
dogs will appear upon the postal
scene once more if mail robberics
should pick up.
1t is not generally known that
when mail robberies were stopped in
the United States by the advent OF the
marines, such robberies Immediately
increased in Canada, bank robberieS
also increasing in number there. This
indicated to officials the migration of
mail thieves.
Every EmpIoye Armed.
Every postal employc on duty is
armed. and knows how to shoot. The
employees were impressed with the
readiness of the marines. and were
! shown by them the necessity for not
being afraid to use their guns when
necessary. Postal officials believe the
influence of the marines was salutary
from every standpoint.
The Post Office Department has just
perfected new mail truck. which is
inclosed on all sides. There is ccn-l
cealed in the new car d heavily armed
employe, who, from his point of
vantage, can take pot shots at the
unwary would-be robber.
This new car. with inch-thick sides.
; is the very latest development in mail
cars. The department has one of the
cars on demonstration, and it is likely
that it will soon appear On the streets
of this and other cities.
Many -Inside Jobs.'
In addition to the cooperation of
the police and this new mail truck,
the department is taking every pre-
caution to guard the mails from
within. During the war undesirable
types of employees came into-the serv-
ic. in many large cities. Many Off
cials hold the opinion that many of
the big mail robberies were inside
/ jobs"
Removing all possible temptation
from employees to rob the mails is one
: of the cardinal principles in the moves
now being made TO safeguard the
peoples mail. Locking parcel post
sacks, d thing never done before. is
i expected to be put into effect at once,
| and other check-ups are being made
/! in various ways as rapidly as possible.

Apropos Of the acquisition of the Pat

by Sehate amendment to the Dis
trict appropriation bill. now in con-
ference, Evan Fl. Tucker. president of
the Northeast Washington Citizens
Association. which is Interested In
the project as neighborhood better
ment, today made public an article
graphically depicting the desirability
Of this ground. which was written
several years ago by DIR. Edward
Minor Gallaudet. founder of Gallaudet
College.
The Patterson tract lies north of
Florida avenue northeast and east OF
4th street. adjoining Kendall Green.
the grounds of Gallaudet, on the east
ern boundary.
Dr. Gallaudet: in his article drew a
comparison between the Patterson
tract, and Hampstead Heath of Lon
don In it he showed that Washing-
ton might easily follow the example
of London in the establishment of
such a public park.
DIR. GnlIaudet's Article.
Here is the article of DR.. Gallaudet.
which was headed THE Hampstead
Heath of Washington"
London has many things which
Washington has not. Washington
mas some things which London has
not. London has one valued posses
sicn which Washington may duplicate
if she will, or rather if her govern
ment. the Congress of the United
States. will.
-"Ip the northwest suburbs of Lon
don there is a tract of land, consist
ing of several hundred acres. which
is preserved as a place of public re-
sort, quite In state of nature. The
work of the landscape gardener is
not to be found therein. Primeval
forests cover part of this ground,
other portions are open moors; there
are footpaths in all directions. which
years ago were sheeppaths and cow
paths when the country nearby was
farming land, and the city was far
away. Hampstead Heath. as this place
of beauty is known. is enjoyed by
thousands of the inhabitants of Lon
don every day in the year as place
in which they can breathe the fresh
air of the country and leave the
smoke and crowds Of the city far be-
hind.
"The value of Hampstead Heath to
