The great doctor who discusses it finds the best example of this madness in certain modern critics. ‘Iheir main idea is to amaze, astonish and deafen their audience. By beating drums and blow- ing trumpets they seek to draw attention to themselves, They write in ecstatic burete broken only by exclamation points. ‘They lose all sense of proportion and eelf-control. The doctor calls this insanity Superlativiem and says the Ger- mans have it worst. But surely the germ in mild form is everywhere. What about the girl who has “the heavenliest time of her life” at every party she goes to? Or the man who says the weather is “the worst he ever saw” after it has rained an hour, We all say a hundred times a day far more than we mean. Exaggeration is one of the com- monest of bad habits. It is good policy to try to be accurate, to speak habitually in moderate tones, Then when we do have vocca- sion to shout people will sit up and pay attention. + GERMS AND THEIR PRESS AGENTS. 3 er BILLION GERMS in a handshake is thealatest scare me in front of anybody who'll fisten.

It was Mr. Dougherty who planned out the cam- paign and engineered the arrests, and in pursuance of ‘his labors brought into the Police Department @ lot of new {deas about the detection of crime and the apprehension of criminals. Mr. Dougherty is qualified by experl- ence to teach new methods to police detectives, for he has been a detective twenty-four years—more than half his life, For five years he was manager of the Pinkerton Agency in this chty and for ten years before that was assistant manager. As manager of th yw York office he had practically the direction of the criminal investigation work of the Pinkertons all over the country. He was trained in the old éetective echool, but he has long since abandoned many of the old time detective methods, It is Dougherty’s belief that a detcotive should keep up to date, just as an en- gineer, an electrician, @ eurgeon or & man in any profession 1s required to keep step with advancement in ideas. Mayor Gaynor asked Dougherty to go into the Police Department half a dozen times before Dougherty eccepted on May 1, 1911, At firat his environment was not happy, but since the advent of Commissioner Waldo Dougherty has been allowed to work without tntenfer- ence. He went at the taxicab robbery case with the avidity of e etarving man going to a meal. It is Dougherty’s bellef that a detec- tive should be something of a dramatist. In his work he should arrange his plots and set his stage after the manner of a playwright and stage manager. He worked out the taxicab caso along these lines. It was he who adopted the idea of planting Mrs. Goodwin, the police ma- tron, in the house where “Swede Annie” lived. Mrs. Goodwin reported to him by code over the telephone. Everything with Dougherty !s numbered and coded, ‘The names of suspects are never men- tioned or wyitten out. Ciphers are part of his correspondence method, “When I came into the Police Depart- ment,” said Dougherty, “I found a prejudice against using the long dis- tance hone on account of the ex- pense. Everything was figured down on the basis of expense. Many a good case was spoiled because of the fear of spending money. “When a newspaper goes after a big story no expen pared. When a business man goes after a big contract he says, ‘Hang the expense.’ I belie Optimism. ALVIN BROWN told of the (4 An old ne aie eee The Other Man.
