OF Me Scotland Yard Is - Learning from U. S. «- American Methods Studied by English Detectives. London.—Scotland Yard, Eng land’s famous detective center, has picked up some real pointers from American police methods. Plans already are being made to imitate the “more efficient radio communication” in American police work, as the result of the visit to the United States of Deputy Assist ant Commissioner Ronald M. Howe and other Scotland Yarders. “I was impressed by the fact the American police use speech in their radio system, whereas we use code when sending messages to pa trol cars,” said Howe. “The Amer ican police radio system is remark able and there is no reason why Scotland Yard's radio system should not become equally effi cient.” Work Lon* Hours Howe also was impressed with the fact American detectives did not seem to mind how long a day's work they did when engaged on a case “American.detectives also do not appear to have to spend so much time on burglaries, shop-breaking and minor crimes as we do.” he “THE WINNAH* added. “Their time seems to be fully occupied with major crimes.” “One of the most interesting ex periments we saw in the United States,” said Howe, “was a talkie film devised to make identification of criminals easier. Can’t Quiz Prisoners “One of the most interesting ex- ficers told us he was convinced the time would come when the public would be able to assist in criminal hunts through the putting on of films of wanted men during ordi nary cinema programs. These films showed the criminals in their nat ural poses and displaying their characteristics. “One of the films we saw showed the criminal walking about, light ing a cigarette, writing a letter and stooping to pick up something. We were shown a ‘close up’ of him as he answered questions. We were also able to hear his voice. “But I am afraid we could not possibly adopt such a system over in England. Prisoners here are not allowed to be questioned. But the American idea is an interesting ex periment.” JOY IN WORK By LEONARD A, BARREJT £\fy c Ngighbor w ' r Says: ▼ ▼ Never transplant peonies In the sod in which they were originally . planted Plantsd m new soil, peonies grow and blossom better I profitably One hour spent in an artist’s stu dio will convince us not only of the enthusiasm but also of the joy one may have in his work. With out this joy, work soon becomes un interesting and mechanical. What might have become a glori ous task afford ing us real satis faction and hap piness, turns out to be mere drudg- ery. We can imagine no more painful situation than being forced to do a piece of work in which we are not vitally interested and which does not present a challenge to our higher and deeper selves. “Be not like dumb driven cattle, * is an apt slogan of caution greatly needed today when “necessity places a great emphasis upon eco nomic returns. In a certain sense, we are to love our work if we are to find real joy in it. Loyalty and devotion are essential elements of joy. If our vocation fails to impel our al legiance. perhaps we have made a mistake in our choice of a life’s work If it is not too late, the better part of wisdom might sug gest that we start anew and choose a field of labor more to our mature liking, a work with an appeal that can be met moat harmoniously and capably by our mature capacity.

To add local "atmosphere” frogs were placed in the ground. But the frogs refused to croak when the cameras and cast were ready. Many attempts failed to provide a "croakers' chorus.” Some one suggested sprinkling to make the creatures raise their voices. With lights, cameras and stars ready, men rushed about sprinkling water from cans. Immediately a bedlam of croakings, ranging from basso profundo to falsetto soprano, burst forth, and the pic ture was saved. our own attitude If you live ao cloae to the high way that pesaersby can look into your borne, try painting the screen doors with a very thin coat of white paint You can look out. but people passing by cannot see into your living room • • • When tablecloths wear thm m the center, cut up the outside into Ig or It-inch squares and hemstitch them.

UAL The Japanese moon Ash or “opah” caught at Santa Cata lina island, twenty-five miles off the coast of Southern California, is a rare specimen and seldom seen in other than tropical waters. The “opah” is one of the most bril liantly hued fish known. Thousands of silvery iridescent moons dot a background of brilliant sapphire blue which blends into pearly pink at its belly. Its fins are vivid scar let. The body of the “opah” itself is almost round. rather to the work itself. Perhaps we have not put the right spirit into our daily toil. If the supreme purpose has been the economic re turn instead of the spirit of service, we fail not only in the product of our work but also in that whole some attitude of joy — the highest proof of success. In more, ways than we think, it is fundamentally true that “He profits most who serves best.” A change in our at titude toward our work might also reveal the fact that we have tried to do our work too much alone. This is always perilous. What we share with another we ourselves more completely possess. There is no enduring joy in an emotion, in an intellectual or spiritual impulse which we keep locked up within ourselves. The highest joy and the deepest satisfaction comes to us when we have the privilege of sharing our experidhees with some one else. Just so with our life’s work. Com radeship in service assures us not only of a deep joy but it also en hances an opportunity for success. What drives a bird to build its nest? What impels a parent to provide for his child?

This does not have to be fastened down. It can be merely laid on top of the oven. It is surprising the magic that this sim ple contrivance works. The heat which is radiated from the oven top is kept in the oven. Food will brown quicker, biscuits and bread will be lighter, and cakes more fluffy when the baking is done with the oven covered on top. In olden times before there was central heating in houses, heat lost in chimneys and excess radi ation from stove pipes was put to excellent s e r v- ice.

Novelty Spreads Light weight and dainty spreads that are ornamental have come to be known under the name of blan ket covers. These are more than white counterpanes, which still re tain the name of spreads, as do also very handsome and ornate bed coverings. Blanket covers were at first just what the names say, a protection or cover for blan kets. These were used when the decorative spreads were removed for the night. The blanketsN^ould be exposed, then, so the fashion sprang up for covering them with something more attractive than a sheet. One of the very latest styles in blanket covers is the dotted muslin cover. The material is in one color with dots in a contrasting hue. This secondary color is further ac cented in flounces while the foun dation color appears again in bind ing on the ruffles. Nothing could b« daintier for summertime use. The sheerness of the textile u made more apparent by the use of the darker or brighter color for the dots When the foundation is in color the white dots and flounces lighten the color schemo. • ball •?>4>ral* —WHO S«r*M*. 5$ and 10 Oars THE I0< SIZE CONTAINS 3'/ 2 TIMES AS MUCH AS THE St SIZE - WHY PAY MORE?
