THE POLICE REPORT

HERE probably considerable room for the
recommendation of Leonard V. Harrison, Chamber of

Rikhoff is quoted saying:
''The fact that although have 534 the police

have been going for years.
Perhaps police did inherit these conditions
from previous administrations But he is the head of the

The report suggests that civilian employees be used to do
some work of the police department that strictly

TOddLe Days

I have bought a dozen card decks

were cheap and some were quite ex'
pensive, too. / have hidden them in
places where you'd think no one
would know so I'd have them when
/ had naught else to do.
Also have l purchased paper of
the card game scoring sort; little
pads that told of poker, bridge or
rhum. When you're playing, printed
for they furnish tips for people who
are dumb.
Then I've pilfered many pencils
from the office where I toll SOS to
have them when we play our eve
ming round. If we do not keep q
tally, interest in the game will spoil;
that's a fact that through expert
ence I've found.
All in all, you'd really figure that
with all these things on hand, any
card game at our house would meet
success. But If you're a dad or
mother, you can quickly understand
why I say you'll have to have an
other guess.
Just a little 1-year kiddie puts our
plannings out of whack. Though we

hidden and she never puts things
back-since our youngsters learned
to toddle all around.

lin ism il the United States is

This is the observation of one of
the foremo st German officers of the

brought the submarine Deutschland
twice across he Atlantic in 19168and
was a terror of the allies during the
war.
Captain Koenig is now on his first
postwar visit to this country, re-
establishing friendships and business
connections as chief of the nautical
department of the North German
Lloyd line.
Il haven't paid an extensive visit
to this country since 1913" he says.

may be seen in the growth Of a mill

The 1913 naval agreement of

But do not think it is practical.
For nations cannot be made to live
up to the spirit Of the agreement,
for they can easily shift their de-

something along that line. And the
vicious cycle begins.

They're Biting Again
For a short time after the con-
victions OF the Texas oil ring" says
Schwab, "the sucker market tight
ened up, the public refused to bite
and the takers drew under cover.
Now a reaction has set in.
1.-The promoter approaches an old
victim and says, you have worth
less stock. We will take it from
you and exchange for some good
shares. You can't lose anything. 1t
will not cost you a cent"
THE victim bites. OF course,
there is a registration fee, but that
is to be expected. Then in a short
time he begins to see results. His
stock appears to be worth some
thing. He becomes a booster for the
ragnization-and a leader-on to
other victims His friends get
soaked-and he, too, in time.
