I Motorcycles Now Employed on Many hmoitSit Jobs I . < . . Fast Machines Necessary In City Police Work By J. Alexander Young AS our traffic gets faster and faster and our millions of cars become still more numerous, the motorcycle becomes more important and its place in our automotive picture more definite. On account of its tremendous economy, its uncanny maneuverabil ity, its speed and its long life despite abuse, prominent motoring and po lice officials are stating publicly that nothing can take the place of the fast two-wheeled vehicle for traffic, police work, service station opera tion in the pick-up and delivery of customers' cars and in certain phase* of military work. According to officials of the Indi an Motocycle Company, the leading producers^ of motorcycles, from whom I requested facts and figures, these statements are amply borne out by the presence on our highways of approximately 20,000. police and military motorcycles and 35,000 commercial machines. _ There are also about- 90,000 sport riders in the United States and 100 motorcycle polo teams, the Indian peo ple tell me. ? Captain Wilson C. Price, Congres sional Medal of Honor man, and superintendent of the Pennsylvania Highway Patrol, one of the moat efficient police organizations in the world, which uses 250 Indians and in 1930 made more than 34,000 arrests, h?s some definite ideas about the utility of the motorcycle. He told me recently: x "The^ most logical combination for police patrol is a motorcycle and a trained policeman. The motor cycle because of its small size, mo bility, high speed for emergencies and low cost of upkeep. ^?Tes., I, mean motorcycles for yatrol in crowded cities, big and i' (Above) New Motorcycles for Oak' land, Cal., Police. (Below) PenttsyL vania's Motorcycle Honor Guard. little, as well as state highways. One trouble withHarge cities is they have too many policemen. One motor cycle officer can do the work of al least five foot policemen and show better results. The only work a dismounted uniformed policcman should do in a big city is traffic duty at crowded intersections. "A motorcycle policeman chasing a bandit car should not shoot at it in city streets, not while he is in mo tion. He should follow the car at a safe distance, blowing his siren con tinually to attract attention to his quarry, never losing sight of it. Cap ture is inevitable." Although it is true that motorcycle officers sometimes pursue a car to the (outskirts of a large city without shooting at it, on the other hand, there are countless heroic episodes involving expert marksmanship and riding ability by motorcycle officers, where bandits come to a halt by ef fective shots into gas tanks, tires or other vital parts of the car, which have disabled it, enabling the motor cycle officer to ride up alongside and hold the occupants at bay. One of the reasons why the par ticular motorcycle mentioned above is used by Pennsylvania State High way Patrol is that it has left-hand throttle control as standard equip ment, enabling the officer to control the speed of his mount with the left hand, while signalling or using his gun with the right hand. ?"

Seal of authenticity was placed up on the teachings of Jesus Christ by the glorious miracle of the resurrect ion of the body of our Lord, which wondrous event we are celebrating on this Easter, and not only on this re curring day of the year but on every first day of the week. For this rea son many delight to call this day the Lord's Day. Early on that first day of the weeK a company of women' wended their way to the tomb that they might com plete the usual embalming for which there was not adequate time, due to the approach of the Jewish Sabbath. An empty tomb revealed that He wa. no longer where the dead body had been placed. It was beyond their im mediate understanding", though they HONOR ROLL FOR THE FOURTH !

One especially is described ? <that to Mary Magdalene, who tarried beheld the group of women in her eagerness to search until she found the body of her Lord. She fails to recognise Him through tear-dimmed eyes, but re sponds with bounding joy when He simply speaks her name ? MaYy. Then she is sent forth as a messenger of the good news, even as all of us are similarly commissioned to spread a broad the story of salvation. Other appearances were to Peter and to the two when they supped with Him at Emmaus. That same night he mani fested Himself to ten disciples in the ypper room in Jerusalem and gave the meaningful blessing: "Peace be unto you." This resurrection of the body of Jesus is a definite pledge of the resurrection of our bodies at thj Second Coming of the Son of God. That is the meaning of "the first fruit of them that are asleep" in the Gold en Text, 1 Corinthians 15:20. Horton.
