"Mr. Towner Sc metio la Legis-

usada por Ell lider puro al tratar
con nosotros este asunto. mo Sc
ha hecho 10 que los legislatures

este no es paradoja, esta es Ia

ROOKIE
S. s. Mavers, on Duty Less
Than Month, Has No Cure
for Situation Here

Through the eyes Of a rookie
cop" s. s. Mavers who Was ap'
pointed to the traffic division OF
the police department on the
sixteenth Of December, while he
was breaking in at Ninth and G
streets, the traffic situation in
Washington appears like "a pretty
tough proposition"
Mavers who has not made an
arrest since his appointment had
no suggestion to make as to condi-
lions Of the courts here but thought
that night court where a man
could be taken Immediately after
the violation occurred would be a
good thing.
He isn't going to be "hardboiled"
when he gets his regular post he
declares.
Traffic moved rapidly as the
rookie policeman" under the
supervision Of his teacher" told
Of what he is going, to do when
he becomes a veteran cop.

New Officers Named.
Mrs. Mcpherson Crichton IL now
