Detective Chief Offers Hints
or Preventing Burg|ories

Inspector Bernard w. Thompson
came forward last night with some
helpful hints on how to save his
detectives the trouble of catching
burglars. The chief of detectives
idea is to prevent burglaries.
Every summer, he said, citizens go
off on vacations, leaving the welcome
mat out for burglars. He suggested
the following formula for vacation
ers who don't want to be robbed
while they're away:
Stop deliveries of milk, papers.
magazines, ETC., since a surplus of
these articles on the porch is a sure
tip that no one is home.
Lock all doors, windows and secret
sliding panels securely. At least
make the burglar work for his ad.'
mission.
Don't hide keys in the mail box
or under the door Mat. Burglars are
adept at finding these hiding places.
Don't draw the blinds all the way
down, as this is also a tipoff. If
you're just away overnight, leave a
light burning in the second floor to
create the illusion that some one is
home.
Notify the captain of your precinct
of the time of your departure and
return and his boys will keep q
special watch on your place. Also
tell the neighbors. so that If they
see masked men climbing the front
porch they will know its no masque-
rade party.
Remove all your valuables, such
! as jewelry, silver and 1S-karat gold

DR.. Daniel L. Finucane, assistant
superintendent of the tuberculosis
Sanatoria at Glenn Dale, Md, has
been recommended by Health Officer

signed recently as superintendent.

nation a few days ago and will be-

ported to be the provision in the

had been getting $4,000 with the un-
derstanding that he could devote
some time to his. private practice.
