Rectifies Trouble
In Police Alarm
Installation of New Insulation Wires
C0rrects Trouble in Police
Alarm System.

There is much rejoicing att the po-
lice department today over the in
stallation Of new strip of insula-
tion in the police alarm system, which
work appears to have rectifed a. trou-
Bile which has been constant source
of annoyance to the department. The
new alarm system was installed sew
eral months ago and since its install
lation there has been constant trou-
bic because of a short somewhere in
the system. Police Electrician Fred
Bradley finally located the short as
existing somewhere in the cable on
Congress street between Elizabeth and
Julius. The damp condition of the
ground is declared to have made the
regular insulation unable to meet the
needs there.
Recently a Kerite Insulated cable
was installed in this district and since
that time the troubles have disappear
ed, The department is testing out
the piece of cable in question and. il
it holds up under all weather condi-
tions, it will be installed throughout
the entire system.

USE LINCOLNS TO
CHASE BANDITS
Radio and Auto Combined
By the Detroit Police
Department.
HIGH SPEED REQUIRED

Radio and the automobile have been
combined by the Detroit police depart
ment into an effective means of chas-
ing and capturing bandits.
Three LiNcoln touring cars, especial
ly equipped for the work, patrol De-
troit's streets twenty-four hours day
ready to respond to the radio alarm
as it is broadcast from police head
quarters.
Each car carries besides the driver a
detective lieutenant and two plain
clothes men. The receiving set, with
loud speaker attachment, is in con-
slant tune with headquarters, receiving
all reports as fast as they come into
the police.
1t was only few nights after the
new police flyers had begun patrol
duties when drug store hold-up Was
reported. Within a moment the silent
call was going out over the city from
the police broadcasting station. 1t was
picked UP by one of the flyers and
thirteen minutes after the robbery had
been committed the two robbers had
been run down and captured, their
car seized and the stolen money recov-
cred.
In selecting a car for the arduous
duties which the flyers are called upon
to perform; officials of the police de-
partment decided upon the Lincoln as
affording the best performance and the
highest speed.
Specifications for the cars required
a speed of IS miles an hour and IN
tests held just before delivery was
made all the cars did better than 80
miles an hour, speedometers reading
between 83 and "a miles an hour.
The radio aerial is placed in the top
of the car between the inner and outer
Innings with the lead wire coming down
at the rear above the back seat. The
radio set is fitted into a special COM
partment in the back of the front seat
at the top and is set in constant tune
with the police broadcasting station.
A loud speaker is used SO that all offl-
GERS in the car may hear reports from
headquarters, thus affording greater
assurance of messages being correctly
received.
The frame of the car forms the coun-
terpoise. The A battery is concealed
in the left hand dust shield and B
battery is arranged under the front
seat.
Other special equipment of the Lin
coin flyers, all provided under police
specifications, includes, bullet-proof
windshield, spotlights on either side
of the windshield frame, a gun rack at
the heel board of both the front and
rear seats, an Arefore police whistle
connected with the exhaust and having
two controls on the instrument board,
and cabinets on each front fender for
carrying electric hand lanterns.
The cars are standard Lincoln tour
ing cars with outside door handles to
facilitate entrance and egress and ex-
ira handles on the top of the front
seat so officers may gain quick hold
The cars are painted blue and each
carries two spare tires.

ROOM FOR MORE
COPS ON FORCE
Examination Before Chief
Logan to be Held June 8
at Police Station.
EXPECT APPLICANTS

An examination for applicants to the
police force will be held in Chief
Logan's office at the police station June
9 at 2 D. M, according to an announce
ment made by the police chief this
morning.
There are many inducements in po-
lice work that may we'll attract young
men, but there are also temptations,
and it is desirable, it is pointed out,
to secure the kind of active. energetic
type that can successfully resist the
lures thrown in the policeman's path.
Have Now a Clean Force.
The police force, as it stands today,
is made up largely of younger men,
The salary might be more, considering
the cost of raising a family and the
cost of shoes for small folks and big
folks pair, not to speak of other
costs. But there is one advantage, that
there is no slack season, that the job
is always there as long as the officer
conducts himself properly, and that
a pension awaits the policeman who
has served faithfully for twenty-three
years.
1--WE have room for few morepolice
officers" said Chief Logan, "and are
anxious that only those physically and
mentally fit should apply. We need
men who are levelheaded and possess
the kind of steady courage that is nee
essary. There is no publicity attached
to the examination, and the names OF
those who fail to qualify are not
published"

MAY CONSTRUCT
FACTORY HERE
Patents for Combined Win
dow and Safety Lock
Received Here.
FILL BUILDING NEED

Prospects for another manufacture
ing plant for Kenosha doomed today
upon receipt from Washington of a
patent upon combined window and
safety lock by Hugo E. Bottle, archl-
tect and Julius Kruger.
Mr. Krueger, who is handling the
marketing of the invention, stated
that he is considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of building small plant here and
starting the manufacture of the de-
vice. Mr.. Bottle, the inventor, said
that he had been working on the pat
ent for several years. He said that
the building world has long felt the
need of mechanism of this sort and
at last he decided to work it out in
a practicable form.
The device which consists of locks
and hinges is for the purpose of all
lowing the washing of windows in high
buildings without having to climb on
the outside of the building. Due to
the fact that this work on skyscrapers
is extremely hazardous, men who take
the risk receive big pay, thus run
ming up the cost of maintenance of
the buildings.
Whole Window Opens.
With the safety lock, the entire
window and frame may be swung into
the room and the work done with
safety. In addition to the safety
feature much time can be saved.
While sung in, the separate windows
may be slid up and down as. though
they we're solid in the wall.
1t combines the feature of the win
dows which open into the room, with
the movability of the windows them
selves. Tests have shown that the
device is suitable for use in prisons
and asylums. The lock for windows
of this type is built into the window
in such a manner that iteis impossible
to tamper with it. ThereNis another
lock which will hold the windows at
any desired position.

KENOSHA MAY
HAVE AIR COPS
Future May See Air Cops
in Kenosha According
to Reports.
SEVERAL CITIES ACT
Soon it will be air cops!

Soon it will be air cops!
Kenosha, on account of its location
between two large cities, is asserted
to stand in need of their services just
as much as Milwaukee and Chicago.
Racine is facing the same problem, and
kalready the possibility of air police
men has been discussed there. How
else can air ordinances be enforced,
say Milwaukeeans and Racineans !? And
the same reasoning applies to Keno
sha.
Of course, the air cops are now in
the relatively far future, but the time
does not seem to be so far distant when
airplanes passing over Kenosha will
be most common.
Planes have been known to fly SO
low over Kenosha and Racine's bust
ness districts as to barely skim over
the roofs of the highest structures
There have been in a few instances
littering of the streets with dodgers
Both of these conditions are complain
ed of in an ordinance which is to be
introduced at the next meeting of the
City council of Milwaukee and which
may become model for air ordinances
throughout the state and country.
Puts 1000 Feet Minimum.
Under the proposed Milwaukee or
dinance it will be unlawful to operate
plane at an altitude of less than q
coo feet. 1t is explained that that limit
was fixed in order to safeguard the
lives of earth dwellers.
"In case the engine stops when a
plane is flying very-low over the city
it is difficult for the aviator to find
safe landing place, and we think that
the city should take the precaution to
adopt an ordinance regulating this be-
fore some persons are killed by fall
ing plane" said Thomas F. Hamilton
chairman of Milwaukee's air board,
Saturday.
1t is a provision of the ordinance
to create an air board with power to
appoint air cops who will arrest all
who violate its provisions. The board
is also depended on to make examina-
ton of air planes to see that they are
in proper condition to be flown over
city, thus safeguarding the lives of
persons who prefer to remain on the
ground.
