POLICE GET TEAR GAS
MASKS FOR RIOT USE
Crowds or individuals Can Be Sub
dued Without Usual Resort
to Force.

Three tear-gas masks have been
procured by Maj. Daniel Sullivan for
use by members of the police force.
One is kept at police headquarters.
another at the first precinct and the
third at the sixth precinct station.
superintendent of police, is instruct
ing members of the force in the use
of the masks.
The masks have great possibili-
ties" the inspector remarked. giving
Policeman Hartman a demonstration
at the first precinct station.
The inspector says he is certain
use of the gag that is part of the
equipment will work wonders in po-
lice work. 1t should mean eliminat-
ing the necessity for using force to
subdue prisoners he stated. and
should be especially effective in in
stances of crowds gathering and
hampering police work.
Shooting of the gas from the guns,
he said, viii put any ordinary crowd
to hight, and in cases where persons
barricaded in a room defy the police
il is the easiest thing in the world
to make them succumb to the gas.
When they are subdued. he added
it is possible for the police to don
the masks and enter the room with
ont being affected.
1t is Maj. Sullivan's intention to
provide a greater number of equip
ments the coming year. The num-
Der obtained will depend only upon
the amount of money the chief is
able 10 obtain.

The Truth Serum

The smooth promoter came to sell
some stock in Gusher's Petrol Well.
Here is your greatest chance" he
swore, ito bring Dame Fortune to
your door. This well is in the rich
est field, and countless millions it
will yield" interrupted him to say,
Il got some wondrous dope today
injected in fellows frame. he sees
that falsehood is a shame; like
Washington, in days gone by, he
simply cannot tell lie So will
shoot some in your arm; then you
may boost your coal oil farm" |
overpowered him then with ease,
and shot truth serum in his knees.
He slowly settled in a chair, and
said, MY oil well is a snare; it is
as dry as 'dobe bricks; it is a trap
TO catch the hicks. In all the land
for miles around no sign of oil was
ever found; there isn't oil enough
down there to grease bald mans
fringe of hair. l feel that serum
wearing off, so lead me to the water
trough, where may gently soak my
head. ard thus recall the things I've
said" Oh, wondrous serum that will
make the faker diagram his fake! |
always keep key in store, and
agents who approach my door must
take a shot or I'll refuse to listen to
their get-rich news.

vestigation of an absorbing problem
by studying the peculiar type OF corn
that grows in China in the eXpecta-
ton of throwing light on early inter-
oceanic communication between Asia
and the Americas. Corn is Indigenous
to the new world, yet ancient Cnlnese
records, recently found, show that IL
was grown in China long before l4S2
The remote and little-known prov
inces of Yunnan and Szechwan, scene
of the nropoSed work, also are among
the garden spots of the world and 1t
has been found that plants grown
there also find favorable condltons
in the United States. Hence, IL was
hoped that new food plants and now
ers would result from the expedition.

ance trip, organizing native asslst
other experts to launch the acll'e
work of the expedition.

War Department
Phone Bills Cut
AtGreat Saving

Substantial savings have been eff
fected in the cost of the operation
OF the telephone system of the War
Department as a result of economies
initiated Immediately after the sign
ing Of the armistice in 1918.
At the height of wartime opera
ton, in December. 1918. there were
1873 employees working in connection
with the War Department switch
board, the largest private switch
board in the world. 1t functioned
for 5000 telephones. with 2,100 ex-
tensions. at cost of $4,000
month. BY gradual retrenchments.
the number has now been reduced
to 56S telephones and 2OS extensions
operated by eighteen operators, at a
cost Of $l,764 a month. The annual
bills for telephone service show a re-
duction from $33S.904 for the fiscal
year 1919, to $23.462 for the fiscal
year 1928.

RECOGNITION OF MEXICO
NOW BELIEVED NEAR

Recognition of Mexico by the
United States was believed today to
have been brought nearer by prog
ress in negotiations of the joint
Mexican American commission in
Mexico City.
This belief was based on reports to
the State Department, which were
said yesterday to have indicated that
the negotiations of the commission
had reached last details"
Since the commissioners are pro-
ceeding under detailed instructions
from Washington. it is obvious that
an agreement between the Mexican
and American commissioners VIII
have the force of an agreement be-
tween the two governments.
