HIGHWAY POLICE CARS.
When They Carry Two Flags, Give
Them the Road.

Automobiles used by the inspectors
of the State highway police corps will
be designated by flags, in accordance
with a system worked out by Arthur
H. Field, the new chief of the corps.
On the left side of the front of
each of the cars will be green flag
bearing the words in white letters,
Estate Police" When this flag alone
is employed, it will be signal that
the automobiles are being driven on
ordinary business of the department,
and the cars will be driven in the
same manner as the public is expect
ed to drive.
For emergency calls, a second flag
will be employed. This flag will be
attached to the right side of the cars,
and on a green background will be
the words in red letters, Elmer
gency." Whenever the State police
department cars are operated under
the two flags, they will travel as fast
as possible to answer emergency
calls, at the same time going as
safely as possible.
This system Of flags will be put
into use first on the automobile
driven by Chief Field and Ralph C.
MeroW, chief inspector, and if found
to be successful will be employed on
all of the cars used by inspectors of
the department. One primary pur-
pose in adopting this system is to let
the public know that when police de-
partment cars are answering emer-
gency calls, other automobiles are
not to be driven at the same rate of
speed.
OF course there will be times when
the inspectors will desire to travel
incognito, especially when they are
working upon some special investiga-
ton, and in those cases the cars will
not be marked with flags

Crocodiles particularly those of the

though they exercise great judgment

mails have much difficulty in combat
ing them.

Preserving Books

The simplest way to prevent mill
dewing of books is to keep the leather
in a well-ventilated and well-lighted
place, preferably one exposed to the
sunlight. Mildew cannot make much
Roadway in sunshine. When mildew
develops it should be washed off with
soap and warm water, or simply wiped
off with a moist cloth, drying the
leather well afterward.
