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.”

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.
On the other hand, the suggestion
of a change might be directed

the frogs refused to croak when

Many attempts failed to provide

men rushed about sprinkling

The Japanese moon Ash or

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.

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.
