To make the pollve walk is a shame, | We ought to have a cop trolley system along the-side- t walks, equip the cops with electric roller skates and tufa “ them loose on a scheme by which they could supply the current by reaching the trolley line with their night sticks. Then they could get a skate on legitimately. “Look at the light work of a salesgirl in a department store, All she has to do for eight hours a day is stand on her feet, juggle rolls of goods, argue with aggressive ’ | female shoppers and look pleasant, For this she re A) celves the obese salary of about $7 per. | “Consider, on the eontrary, the arduous dutles of the |} cop. He has to show up at work every day unless he Is sick. If he is sick and can get a police surgeon to stan for it his pay goes on just the same. His work Is limited to elght hours, the same stretch of playful labor that falls to the lot of the shop girl. rs “But the cop has to go out and walk along the street. | He has to talk to people on the beat, see that the street cars don’t run up on the sidewalk, watch for thieves at- tempting to break show windows with sledge hammers, transfer souses to the post of a dearly beloved brother oMcer and listen intently for erles of fire. he “Ts it any wonder that he gets tired after he has heen ‘* | at work a couple of hours and hunts a secluded place for repose? The miserly city of New York pays him only " about $4 a day and gives him a measly vacation every ; Summer. Under the two-platoon system he had to stand jn with the sergeant to get a soft detail on the late tour. Now his hours of labor are fixed by law at eight hours, he Is vindicated in the eyes of the people and he thinks he has a license to rest his tender feet.” t “Policemen are brave men,” remarked the Cigar Store Man, “So aré the pilots of ferry-boats,” replied The Man | Higher Up. “But you never heard of a ferry-boat pilot choosing a warm spot behind the boiler for a snooze while he was on duty.” i FLAT HUNTERS OF NEW YORK: fa Algebraic Picture Puzzle. ‘This picture puzzle is in terms of algebra, but you don't! need to know anything about algebra to solve it.
