Men say we should bestow our
flowers on people while they live,

showers-such tears no comfort
give. But while a man is still on
earth he's able to resent the caustic
speech or ribald mirth of any jeer-

then. to say he is a frost, to score
his faults with tongue or pen, re-
gardless. of the cost. If he resents
the things I've said, his vengeance
he may seek, and punch me roundly

OYSTER PRAISES
WORK Of BUREAUS
Commissioner Pleased With
Work of Departments Un-
der His Supervision.

After reading the annual reports OF
his departments for the past fiscal
year, Commissioner James +. Oyster
expressed his commentator of their
work.
Il am extremely gratitied over the
achievements of the bureaus placed
under my supervision" said the Com
missioner. Although none of them
had ali of the funds or facilities they
needed during the year the results
obtained are a source of credit to
them"
Commissioner oyster has under his
control the police, fire. health and
playground departments, the office of
weights, measures and markets and
the coroner's office. He was specific
in his praise of the police department,
which, though undermanned, has per-
rormed excellent service, in the optn-
ion of the Commissioner.
The detective bureau" he added,
has done good work. The police can
not prevent the commission of crime,
but they have been unusually sue
cessful in Investigations and in re-
covering stolen property"
Since entering office Commissioner
Oyster has made 1t a practice to con-
fer with the heads of his departments
daily, when possible, but always as
often as other engagements permit.
In this way he believes he can help
sach bureau in it's work by encour-
agement and support.
