BERLIN, Jan. 19.-How to clear net profit of million and a half marks by the loss of lawsuit was lately demon strated by Cologne business maE.
 Two years ago the firIG'S ngeui in a neighboring branch office ordered 2i,000 marks >'CIth of goods w:'n- cut being authorized by :h> main office, winch refused to :ecognwe the purchase.
 Law proceedings were started by the purchaser, the goods being stored pending judgment.
 When, after two years. judgment was recently given in favor of the purchaser. the Cologne firm was only too glad to be sentenced" to take over the disputed goods.
 Owing to the sweeping depreciation of the mark the goods had in the meantime assumed an accumulated value of nearly three million marks, which, deducting all costs, left the buyer with a net profit of two mil lion marks.

 Miss Helmar Liederman wants to be the authorized representative of Juneau, as Miss Alaska in all con tests for beauty she may enter. Her brother makes this request in let ter received by the Sporting Editor of The Empire and unless there is some objection raised, it is perfectly agreeable to the s. E.. Miss Lieder- mans brother is Earle Liederman, director of physical education at 305 Broadway, New York.
 The letter received by the Sporting Editor from Liederman is as follows:
 Last June, while en route to At lantic City from Juneau, where l made a short stay after a sight-see- ing trtip to the coast, accompanied by my sister, Miss Helmar Lieder- man, I decided to enter Miss Lieder- man in the Atlantic City Bathing Beauty contest, which was to take
 place during the week of September 6, and I was then prompted to adopt Alaska as the place she would repre- sent in the pageant. She according ly was entered as Miss Alaska
 'In spite of the great fame and popularity which she attained as Miss Alaska being perhaps the most favored by all the spectators, she was not awarded a prize. Later Miss Liederman was entered at the Physical Culture show at Madison Square Garden, which was held dur ing the week of October g, also as Miss Alaska and she was awarded second prize.

BACKS POLICE IN
HIGHERPAY
DEMAND
Inspector William S. Shelby Is
sues Pamphlet on Patrol
mems Qualifications.

Policemen are engaged in the
most difficult of all tasks assigned
to human beings, Inspector William
S. Shelby, aide to Major Daniel
Sullivan, superintendent of police,
declares in a pamphlet which he
has prepared for the Policemen's
Association in support of the plea
of the police for higher pay. Two
thousand of these pamphlets are
being distributed.
"The policeman has the task of
regulating the conduct of other
human beings just like himself with
all the frailties, all the virtues and
all the vice of the average human
being" Shelby says.
'It must be obvious that po-
liceman's duties involve the ex-
ercise of personal Judgment and in
itiative at almost everyi turn and
to give that service which is re-
ouired of him he must possess a
willingness to assume the RESPONSE
bility essential to the proper exer-
else of that judgment and initia-
tive.
"The public today demands more
of its policemen than it demanded
in the years past, and while cour-
age is still essential a police Of
ficer must possess tact, Judgment
and a wide sympathy: his intelli-
gence must be above that of the
average man.
"ALl in all there must be recog-
milton of the fact that policemen
should possess personal qualifica-
tions of high order; he must have
a strict sense of dtuy and must
possess both physical and moral
courage to properly and fearlessly
perform that duty"
The pamphlet points out that in
New York, Chicago. Detroit, Los
Angeles. Pittsburgh, San Francisco,
Providence, New York, Hoboken,
New Jersey, Minneapolis and sew
eral other large cities the police re-
