BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

1t was long time-180 dayS-that
the prisoner was given to think over
whether 1t was worth while to try
to steal anything as precious as tires
from q car under the supposed ad-
vantage of blackout.
And he had two auxiliary police
men. Horace w. Cross and Francis
M. Shey, to thank" for his arrest,
Police Judge John P. Mcmahon for
the l80 davs.
Volunteer Patrolmen Cross and
Shey were working out of No. 4 pre-
cinct on E street between Fourth and
Sixth S,W. during that recent black
out. They caught the young man in
the act of removing the tires.
In the same blackout, two auxil-
iaries patrolling for No. II ANA
costia caught a boy as he carried
some rugs out of an apartment
house. They held him until a scout
car arrived. Their names are not
recorded at the station house.
Instances like these show how
valuable Washington's auxiliary
force of more than 1000 will be if
bombers ever attack the city. Such
episodes prove, too, how worth while
1t is. meanwhile. to have citizen
policemen helping the regulars
patrol the streets.
Alertness Is Now Expected.
But neither Capt. Sidney J. Marks,
in command of No. 4, nor Capt.
Hugh g. Groves, in charge of No. IL.
is surprised when the alertness of
their auxiliaries is emphasized in
some such way. They've come to
expect it. And this reporter. in the
course OF visiting every precinct in
the city, did not find a captain, a
lieutenant, sergeant or a private
who was not proud of the auxiliaries.
Speaking of No. 4. its approx
mately $50 auxilaries are about
so per cent colored citizens. and
they are credited with doing highly
effective work. A. E. Corley and
D. H. Mayo, regular policemen in
charge of auxiliary activities for
this Southwest precinct will tell you
as much.
They pointed. merely as an ex-
ample, to Johnny Green. a colored
auxiliary. who arrested a man at
tacking woman on the street.

cred the assailant and took him
