The captain Arms promised they

permission and clearance from Silver.
And likewise for all the rest.
There's the key idea In Hartzell's
system of subcontracting: Democratic
discipline, voluntarily imposed.
Complete inventories of kind and con-
dition of equipment and skill and amount
of man power available for each team
were translated into charts.
These charts tell q Government pro-

BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

There's large map on a wall at
police precinct No. II. at Seventeenth
street and Rhode Island avenue NE.
Should the city ever be attacked,
this map would show exactly what
was happening, from moment to
moment, in that important resi-
dental section. which includes
Catholic University. Trinity College,
the Franciscan Monastery and other
institutions in addition to strategic
highways and bridges.
The map details in color the
topography and the more vital
points in the community. Emer-
gency beats have been devised and
are numbered for the auxiliary po-
lice, in the order of their Importance,
regardless Of platoon lines. Pins Of
happened during an attack and
where bomb damage, casualties, in
cendiary bombs, unexploded bomb.
Strings would trace the path of traf-
fic detours.
This map, colored and adapted by
Auxiliary c. E. RuebSam. would be
kept current, revised on the instant,
in any emergency. BY a glance at
the map, the officer in charge of the
precinct would know just what was
going on throughout the region,
where to send help, what to do.
The big map is only one of the
features which make this precinct
a model of organizational efficiency.
If there is anything in simplifled
card files, charts and other means
of keeping the expanded war force
at ones fingertips that the precincts
youthful commander, Capt. Walter
T. Storm, has overlooked. the most
meticulous would have a hard time
finding it.
Specially Of Each Listed.
The files which Sergt. T. Rasmu-
sen and Policeman c. L. Wright
keep in the room set aside for aux
iliaries classify the more than $50
volunteers by the police duties for
which they are best qualified-tele-
phone operator. fingerprinter, me-
chanic. driver, motorcylist-and by
the hours each can spare from his
regular occupation.
There are 33 emergency auxiliary
beats, and designated volunteer Of
ficers take up these beats when the
yellow signal is flashed over the
Washington defense communication
system. Other auxiliaries go to the
station house and are held In re-
serve. They can be rushed where
they are needed.
The No. IL auxiliaries are divided
into five platoons, each with cap
tain, two lieutenants and three SER
geants. It's arranged so that in any
unexpected eme gency precinct
headquarters notifies each auxiliary
captain. The captains tell their
lieutenants, the lieutenants, their
sergeants, and the sergeants relay
the orders to certain key men, who
round up the rest. 1t all can be
done in a few minutes. If the tele-
phone system should be paralyzed,
the officers and key privates could
reach the whole force quickly in
house-to house calls, for platoons
live in the same neighborhoods.
Auxiliaries Have Office.
Each platoon in this precinct is
guided and instructed by regular
officer. The auxiliaries have not
only an Office at the station house,
but an assembly room, for which
the benches were made by artisans
among the volunteers. The assem-
bly, room bulletin board contains
lists of the auxiliaries, what they
are doing and the progress of their
training. And this precinct has 10
hours of preliminary instruction for
each auxiliary recruit. followed by
