Traffic Cop Wins Popularity
Contest and a $40, 900 Home

contest conducted by a candy concern
with commercial artist. The deputy
commissioner, who is very wealthy
man and works for the city without
pay, decided that the cop should win.
DIR. Harris bought 60OO pounds of
candy at one time. This entitled
him to something like 100000 votes.
He plunked them all for Oscar and
that was the comfortable margin by
which Oscar won. DIR. Harriss wasn't
content to buy just enough to put
the cop over the top, or TO be more
exact. under the roof. he was deter
mined there should be no doubt as to
the result. The other contestants
were showed under, the traffic cop
was exalted, and the traffic police
commissioner was the happiest man
on Manhattan Island.
SnarIy Cops Take Note.
DIR. Harriss is the man who evolved
and put into operation the traffic
tower system which has spread from
Fifth avenue to all parts of the
country. Fifth avenue traffic had
become almost an impossible tumble.
Each corner cop was a sultan in his
own right and could. flash the sig
nails to 60 or stop at will. Vehicles
often were held up at each corner.
The. tower system was devised and
now traffic moves all at the same
time from Washington Square all
the way up TO Central Park.
DIR. Harriss is proud of all his
traffic cops, but he regards Hettler
as typical. He is kind, genial, cool
and intelligent.
1t was nothing to buy three tons
of candy all at one time, but quite
something else again to get rid of it.
Commissioner Harriss flooded Wei
fare Island with packages for the
unfortunates confined in the city in
situations there. Three thousand
pounds went to the island. Now the
other 5000 pound packages are being
distributed to other charities.
1t is estimated that the deputy
commissioner contribution to the
cops contest cost him somewhere
about $1,000. Many persons voted
for Hettler without knowing his name.
They sent in the ballots for the traf-
fic cop at Lafayette and Grand
streets" Stately and snarly traffic
cops the country over should take
note.

New York, April 25.-Once again
has been proved that New York
heart. A traffic cop with n
ftly wife and five husky youngsters
won n $4,000 home in n popu-
fly contest. 1t is the finest home
Top ever lived in and it will take
3 particular cop from one of the
Fiest intersections of Manhattan's
4gle traffic out to one of the quiet
kurbs of Long Island.
Traffic cops are not supposed to
Ye any friends. 1t is their priv
Ee and generally their pleasure to
vi out the lowly and the mighty.
I this cop has been different. He
believed that the. smile behind
forbidding hand would win and
has proved the theory correct. For
nething like twelve or fifteen years
has been directing traffic at one

t is extraordinary enough for a
