Fires Two Mr. Whalen began his first full day as the head of the police de- partment by removing the heads of the two chief branches of the de- partment, the uniformed and plain clothes forces. Chiet Inspector William J. Lahey, in charge of the uniformed division, was retired by Mr. Whalen and his place filled by the appointment of Deputy Chief Inspector John O'Brien. Inspector John D. Cough- lin, for eight years head of the de- tective bureau, upon whose organi- zation fell the brunt of the ecriti- cism in the Rothstein case, was re- moved and succeeded by Inspector Edward P. Mulrooney. Former Commissioner Warren's last official act, the demotion of Acting Lieutenant Patrick Fitzgib. hons, former head of the police band and glee clup, was rescinded by Mr. Whalen and” Fitzgibbons’ rank was restored and he was ordered to re- sume charge of the police musical -organizations. Mr. Whalen declined to say ‘whether other changes were con- templated in the department but the removal of Inspector Arthur N. Cargy as head of the homicide squad was regarded as likely in po- lice circles, PILOT ‘LANDS MINUS HIS UNDERCARRIAGE Saves $12,000 Plane by Daring Ex- ploit in Which He Faced Almagt Cestain Death, Chiéago, Dee, 20.—(P—Another ehapter in the bulky book of air- plane daring was written in the skies over the munieipal airport yesterday by Pllot C.

Nothing Else to Buy the safety razor or the steam shovel came from Mills or any other store. The week after Christmas most of the things are thrown away ineless and through a process of elimination the gifts boil down to a very few that are kept. No one won- ders where they came from. About July it suddenly strikes them that here is something that they got for Christias. “Why! Imagine it lasting all this time. It was from Aunt Jenunle and must of cost a lot!” The wuth of the matter is that Aunt Jen- nic knew where to buy qnality and knew she wouldn't pay auy more for it; likely as mot she was in here, because people who know quality and know that quality merchawdise costs mo more, also know that for 87 years that's all we have sold.
