SUNDAY DINNER
SUGGESTIONS
By ANN PAGE

IF you like orange marmalade why
i not make 1t yourself of the fine
cheap oranges or equally good grape
fruit now in market? A favorite
recipe uses one orange, one grapefruit
and one lemon. Strawberries are also
of good quality and moderately priced.
The vegetable stores are full of un-
usually fine vege. lbles, all reasonable
or low i i price. New cabbage, Cali
fornia Brussels sprouts, broccoli and
caulifiower are all choice quality.
String beans and spinach are winter
standbJs whose price luctuates more
or less according to weather condi-
tions If they are always reasonable
and often cheap. Green peas and lima
beans are more expensive but are still
moderately priced. Tomatoes are in
creasingly plentiful and cheaper week
by week Many salad plants are avail
able including lettuce, endive. water
cress, cucumbers. radishes and shall
lots.

STATE SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Proper Tire Initiation Neces-
sary to Good Driving and
Easy Riding
CARE AT INTERSECTIONS

According to the Delaware Safe
ty Council, one of the greatest
mistakes a driver can make is to
get the idea that he can safely
speed on city streets in the wee
small hours when streets are APP
parently deserted. The same prin-
ciple holds true during the day in
sparsely Travelled residential dis
tricts. You approach an intersec-
ton and if you know there is little
travel on the cross street you are
tempted to go through without
diminishing your speed. The fact
that you can do this repeatedly
without mishap increases your
confidence. But some day another
car will be coming along that cross
street and you will be unable to
stop in time to avoid smashup.
When danger seems most remote
beware! Speaking of controlled
imitation and currency, don't you
forget for one minute that con-
trolled imitation of your tires will
conserve your currency! Also,
proper tire imitation is good in
vestment in comfort and safety.
Under-infation cracks the side
walls of a tire. 1t makes the car
harder to steer and increases IA
tigue in driving. 1t causes a
dangerous "shimmy." makes your
car "rolP', places an extra burden
on your engine, and consumes
more gas. Over-infiated tires
makes riding bumpy, tiresome, and
uncomfortable. 1t is important to
have the right pressure in all four
tires. Check the pressure today,
and while you are doing it remem-
Der that you may save yourself a
hot job in the boiling sun some
day by initiating the spare tire.

BY HON. JAMES S. BOLAN
Commissioner of Police,
New York City

IN 1897 the bicycle gained such
popularity that it became a prin-
cipal form of recreation. Thousands
of bikes were in use, and with the
the new craze came the speeder and
the reckless driver, necessitating
new laws and ordinances. Speed
was restricted to eight miles an
hour, lights and signal bells were
required and it was unlawful to ride
more than two abreast. At this
juncture, a Bicycle Squad was
formed in the New York City Police
Department.
Then the automobile cast its
shadow upon the horizon Of prog
ress. The new vehicle began to
force the bicycle from our streets
and to present new problems of
traffic and speed regulation. 1t was
realized by police that the bicycle
could not cope with this new men
ace to the orderly operation Of traf-
fic. The authorities decided to flight
fire with fire." In 1905 the motor
cycle was introduced into police
service. From the first moment it's
worth was apparent. Today the Mo
torcycle Bureau maintains per
sonnet of four hundred men.
While the primary duty Of the
Bureau is to operate against speed
ers. reckless drivers and violators
of traffic regulations. the nature of
its motor equipment. with speed
of from eighty to ninety miles an
hour. provides a mobile police unit
which makes possible its CONVEX
sion to practically all requirements
of police service. A complete mobil-
ization Of our 400 police riders may
be effected within the hour At the

This unit has effected cooperation

A motorcycle policeman's job re
quires a departure from other lines
of police endeavor. His main con-
tact is with the motoring public,
who. after all, are not engaged in
the commission of actual crimes
Often the offender is guilty of omis-
sion rather than commission. 1t has
often been observed that the indi-
vidual who is ordinarily mild man
nered and courteous sometimes suf
fers a change of disposition when
he sits behind a steering wheel.
1t might interest readers to know
how the activity of this Bureau is
divided against the various classes
of motor vehicles. During the year
1882, the Motorcycle Bureau operat-
ed against 13.209o of the pleasure
vehicles registered; 21.58@6 of the
commercial vehicles and trailers;
1850 of taxicabs and omnibuses;
14.449o of motorcycles. 1t will thus
be seen that the greatest number of
offenders come from within the
commercial vehicle class.
The object of the Police Depart
ment is to safeguard the lives of
pedestrians. and to control vehicu-
lar traffic so the movement of both
will be safely and expeditiously
handled. The motorcycle Is of great
value in this work.

Sandburr May Make Iowa

Keystone, Iowa.-Walter Hilbert,

with rather throaty. husky voice
as a result of an experience with
a sandburr that pricked his thumb.
The burr chung to the boys thumb
and he tried to remove 1t with his
teeth. The burr slipped down his
throat and lodged in his trachea.
Surgeons who worked through an
entire night in an effort to remove
it finally were obliged to admins

The burr probably would have
reached the boys lungs with fatal
results had the operation been de-
layed, they said.

here. Its favorite roosting
place is the tender and cab of

Upon this mobile roost it will
ride the length of the yards, but
it supplies its own motive power
for the return trip. 1t flies back
to the starting point and awaits
the return of the engine. Then
it goes for another ride.
With a number of switching
engines busy in the same yard,
the pigeon always picks the
same one for IT'S trips. The
pigeon is jealous of its preroga-
tives and will fight away any
other pigeons that attempt to
usurp its rights.
