Red Cross Fighting
First Aid Battle
To- Conserve Life

Reliable records establish the fact
that more than $4,000 accidental
deaths occur every year in the United
States The records show that 206
American citizens are killed every
day: that 3S of these deaths are due
to automobiles. IS to falls. 10 to
drownings, 16 to burns.
Facing such distressing sacrifice of
life is the First Aid Service of the
American Red Cross, fighting through
education and demonstration to instill
q consciousness of safety in the public
mind and teaching approved methods
which assure that competent hands
will care for injured persons until the
arrival Of doctors. Trained service In
the first few minutes is vital In
serious accidents and saves many
precious lives
One OF the most encouraging signs
of the past year is the record of the

clues no fingerprints, nothingi
Our men believed it was an lin
side job''-7one committed by some
employee within the bank. This
theory shocked the bank officials.
That means that the thief is still
working here with millions within
reach. He coald have stolen half a
million. as well as $4,000" was their
rejoinder.
The clerks were in a ferment and
all were nervous and apt to do things
that would look suspicious Everyone
was on guard against everyone else.
1t was that state of nervous tension
that we sought The three men who
had actually been in the tellers cage

had been Intercepted without result
One afternoon the newspapers cam
out with story that the bank theft
mystery had been solved, that finger
prints had been found (you will re-
member that there were none) and
that ian arrest was imminent" Care
was taken to see that these papers
reached the three men who were prin-
cipally under surveillance.
After the three had just time to
realize that danger impended for
someone the detectives called them
into the directors room for another
question. The tray in which the pack
ct of bills had rested together with
other articles that had been in the
teller's cage, lay on the table just out
of reach OF the three.
Psychology Again Used by Detectives
Of the three men being questioned
just one showed an interest in the
tray and the other articles. He insist
ed on handling them, looking them
over carefully. The detectives dis
missed the three, satisfied that the
mystery had been solved not before,
but after, the newspaper publication
of the story of the fingerprints.
The man who had picked up the
tray remarked to another clerk that
afternoon that even if they found his
fingerprints on the tray it would not
mean anything, since he had handled
it "in full view of everybody"
That remark was his undoing. His
confession and the return of the bills,

By RICHARD E. ENRIGHT
Police Commissioner, N. Y. City.

Is your mental picture of the police
man that of a professional man? I'm
you view him as such you have lit
tie conception of the change that has
COME over the police business in the
big cities in the last few decades
Education of the public, the elimi-
nation of the "Come-on, the thick"
and the unsuspecting citizen, have
brought in the brainy crook Keeping
pace with that individual the police
have had to develop the science of
criminals. The result is that such
forces as New York's are today train
cd forces,
Perhaps illustrations of some of the
newer forms of detective work will
best show how criminology has adj
vanced and has made use of all the
other sciences in it's progress. One of
our favorite modern psychological de-
vices is to "set the crook to catch
himself" Two recent cases illustrate
the method.
Guilty Man Traps Himself
There had been heavy loss of Sc
curities from an estate and a member
of the executors family was suspect.
ed of the theft We could not, how
ever, prove it, so were forced to
seek some way by which he would
fasten the crime on himself.
One day neWsboy carrying just
one newspaper was waiting outside
this mans place of business, when
he left in the afternoon. The paper
was the one our suspect was accus-
toned to buy and he naturally pur-
chased one on this occasion. Our
men saw him start at sight of the
news that was spread before him in
the headlines. Great Safety Deposit
Vault Looted" or something to that
effect The story went on to tell that
every single vault in a leading banks
Safety Deposit Department had been
emptied by mysterious criminals. The
name of the bank was not given-the
story might have applied to half a
dozen big banks downtown.
Our man seemed dazed for nom
ent-then he hurried to the Safety De-
post Vault of ole of our largest
banks. And we knew where tie mis-
sing securities were hidden. It was
easy then to learn the fictitious name
he had given, to force confession
and regain the securities.
The point in this story is that the
copy of the newspaper which our sus-
pect read was the only one of it's
kind We had had it printed by one
of the afternoon papers by arrange
ment with it's managing editor who
had gladly helped us further the ends
of justice.
An Inside Job
Another example, In teller's cage
in one of the greatest of our banks
there had lain one afternoon a neat
packet of $500 bills. Strapped with
paper and pinned, as usual, they
made a convenient pocket package.
The label on them read $50.000
Among those who came and went
into that cage, someone eyed the
packet with covetous eyes. The bills
were there little before closing,
then at closing time, when the tellers
began to total up their balances they
were gone! Who had taken them.
There was no answer to that question
The closest search failed to reveal
any trace of the bills. The employees
all submitted to search-no clue re
suited.
The officials called in the police
The detectives soon found themselves
against a blank wall. There were no

HICKMAN THRILL WITH lNCOM
PARABLE BARITONE VOICE.

T. Lloyd Hickman scored a signal
triumph in his appearance last Fri
day night in the Armstrong High
School under the auspices of the To-
cal Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.
Mr.. Hickman's renditions were
wonderful to show the least. Attic
he was suffering from a slight cold,
as he commented, his splendid con-
troll Of pitch, regularity and evenness
of volume and the resonant qualities
of his voice marked him as bari
tone on a par with the best.
The inclement weather was pro-
badly the reason for a small but ap,
preciative audience but all comment
ed that those who had not heard the
artist missed a rare treat.
A splendid future for this talented
vocalist is predicted by the writer.
