criminals literally out Of the air
sounds like q tale or Old Bagdad
from the Arabian Nights. but It isn't
its an everyday occurrence in the
streets Of Chicago.
This crime capital OF the world is
fast OH the way to becoming q city
OF brotherly love, due to the newly
inaugurated police syste Of COM
munication by radio. When the
system is finally worked out In ali
its details. only the perfect crime
Of the detective tsory thrillers will
stand a chance Of remaining un-
solved.
Crime Decreases
Robberies, house breakings. shoot
ings, and the long list Of other fel-
onies have already decreased re-
markably in the three months since
the radio came TO the aid of Chi
cago's criminal cstchers. In six
months, police officials say. the eff
cheney Of local Law enforcing agen-
cies will have increased rs per cent.
Chicago Is taking crime seriously
at last. Night and day within the
boundaries Of the city, police au-
tomobiles equipped with radio re-
ceiving sets tour back and forth end
lessly.. There are Al such machines
on guard duty at present and 100

ordered and will be put on the

in Poughkeepsie Regatta

high hopes that Columbia may
successfully repel the California in
vasion in the Poughkeepsie regatta.
That view adds tremendously to
the interest in the race. But Just
the same it is hard to see how the
California crew, with seven men in
tact from last year. and the new
man in the bow supposedly better
than last years man. can be beaten.
The Golden Bears victories a year

English crew at Amsterdam. are still
fresh in the minds of rowing en-
thusiastS.
The only possible weakness the

Those on the inside claim that Cali
fornia's coxswain last year was a
bundle of nerves, fire and PERSONAL
ity, with a great voice and fine
intuitiYe sense Of pace.
They claim that he was largely
responsible for the success of the
California crew. and that this year
without him Columbia has a great
chance to win. We shall see.

shortly. The -Four Musketeers'

The -Four Musketeers" are: Rene
La Coste Henri Cochet, Jean Boro-
ira and Jacques Brugnon. the great
est quartet of tennis players ever
grouped on a Davis Cup team since
the breakup of American suprem-
acy on the courts.
Before the current season opened,
the French had the tennis blues,
and had EN- bad. La Coste had an
nounced his retirement to go into
his fathers automobile business.
Borotra's business kept him from
the courts. Cochet was badly off
form in the winter tournaments and
Brugnon was believed to be aging
and slowing up,
Hence it was with troubled mien
the French tennis federation looked
around for requirements. And then
the -Four Musketeers" came to life.
Business can wait" said La
Coste, who then proceeded to step
out and win the championship of
France just to show he was as good
as ever.
Borotra agreed and smashed his
way through TO the finals of the
championship at Paris and carried
La Coste to five desperately fought
sets.
Cochet is rounding into form and
Brugnon will be there when they
call for the doubles teams on the
second day Of play
The -Four Musketeers" will be in
the Davis Cup challenge round. It's
up to the American team to see
that it gets there to meet them.
