Conrad also was a violinist Tn Reisman's orchestra after the leader moved his musicians to New York, where both director and directed be- came popular radio performers. "One way to curtail the number of payroll holdups," suggests Charles Francis Coe. criminologist, whose talks are broadcast weekly over an NEG network, lis for the insurance companies to issue policies which the amount lost. This would make employers more careful in payroll delivery. An amazing number of these burglaries are inside jobs." Sound effect engineers for the Elm pire Builder program solved the problem of bringing the sound of fire chSihoH uaSiiihS to all dldlH lo Nouio l listeners by enlisting the services of q Lincoln Park policeman who rode
 his automobile around the roof of
 the Merchandise Mart where the | Chicago NEG studios are located.
 Microphones picked up the sounds
 of the roaring cutout, siren and bells. Radio does much to keep women
 informed about styles, fashions and personal appearances, but why
 doesn it do something about men? | According to a fan letter to NEG seven women deliberately ask radio to help spruce up men. Fine char Iacters but they go around the house
 with hair curling down their necks, long eyebrows. tired facial muscles,
 trousers not creased, shirts not too clean" and numerous other com
 plaints along the same line of argu- lment.

FOR DIPLOMAS CIRCULATING
Times Staff Photo

"Flappers have ceased to flap"
but the perennial ''masher" has
put in his appearance, and is
cutting his usual summertime
capers here, according to Lieut..
Nina C. Van Wrinkle, head Of
the Woman's Bureau of the
Metropolitan Police Department.
Recent tragedies connected
with automobiles have made the
girls "auto-shy," and forced the
masher to perform on foot. Oh
servations on Sixteenth Street
show that the girls refuse to get
in a car, after indulging in street
flirtations, but the moment the
masher pulls up to t. curb, she
will join him on a park bench.
Lieut.. Van Wrinkle. who has
been absent from her desk vir-
tually a year, on account OF
serious illness, is again in daily
contact with her department.,
although she is not yet actively
at the helm.
The WON man's Bureau is
swamped with work to such an
extent that many of the girls
have to forego their vacations,
Mrs, Van Wrinkle said.

BOYS CHARGE

Charged with having tied a 8.
year-old colored boy with rope
and then beating him with a
strap, Thaddeus Jones, colored,
Sc, of TIL Kenyon st. N. w., was
arraigned in Police Court before
Judge John P. Mcmahon today.
It was charged that Jones tied
Harrison Richardson and whipped
him for running away from home.
Jones admitted chastising the
child, his ward, but said he
merely wrapped a rope loosely
about the child's arms to prevent
the boy from squirming and re
ceiving the blows on his arms and
breast.
Judge Mcmahon continued the
case until tomorrow to summon
a physician who is said to have
examined the boy after the al
legged beating.

QUIZ Of RHEEM
FACES DELAY
Times Staff Photo
LOUISE SMILE

The creditors examination of
Edmund D. Rheem, executive vice
president of Swartze1l, Rheem
and Hensey, scheduled for Friday
afternoon may again be post
poned.
This forecast is made by attor-
neys who have requested review
of a ruling blocking the introduc-
ton of evidence of a personal
nature.
If the expected order by JUS
tice Jennings Bailey upholds this
contention subpoesnas a ain t
bank officials will be filed.
Tracing of Trusts
Representing a number of the
defunct firms creditors, Mr.. Sui
livan and Attorney Marcus Bor-
chart appealed from a decision
by Fred j. Eden, referee in bank
ruptcy which blocked efforts to
delve into Rheem's personal busi-
ness affairs.
They claimed that unless this
procedure is permitted it is i'm
possible for them to trace money
received by the firm when first
trusts against number of prop
critics were released.
The referee held that Rheem
is being questioned as a company
official and that since, he has not
been declared a personal bankrupt
his private affairs do not enter
into the examination.
s, Ruling Is Asked
In memoranda filed with JUS
tice Bailey by Attorney Barchardt
the lawyer asks a ruling be made
requiring the trustees to definitely
define their attitude toward ad-
mission of the personal testimony
He states that they declined to
sign a, statement, as spokesman
for all the creditors, requesting
the inclusion of Rheem's personal
bank records.
The trustees plan to reduce the
force of nine who have been en-
ployed since they took charge.
After this week only five will be
retained.

SHIFTS
AMONG POLICE
PROBABLE
Executive Departments Are
BasicaIIy Altered and New
District Chiefs Appointed

ing administration and personnel
changes in the annals of the po-
lice department, provided in two
general orders issued late yester-
day by Major Henry G.. Pratt,

tionai changes in the departments

cincts will be known as the First
precinct; the Second and Eighth

cinct; and the Fourth and Fifth
precincts will become the Fourth.
