old DAY."

BALTIMORE, Jan. 3.-Chief
Inspector George G. Henry made
a striking figure A years ago
when as a rookie policeman he
pounded a beat along Calhoun
Street here. Girls fluttered and
sighed when he passed, and some
times he condescended to notice
them; then they fluttered more.
Today in an honor place on his
desk lies evidence that romance
is not dead, in the form of a let
ter he has just received from one
of those girls, Margie Copen-
haver, of Washington.
She wrote that she has fol
lowed the career of the gallant
policeman over these two-score
and four years and reminded him
of many incidents Of the long
ago. Henry says he will answer
the letter.
