They nre the ".lehnnv -en-lhe-jiimp"

"Hew miiny calls de ou think the motor
cycle squad liny answered In Hip last four
months?" queried the -up-r'uitciident.
"Hew tnaiiv tin 11 are in tlie stpind?" I
askl'd. Hi, .,.,j v in 1
Up did nel wait for mv estimate. He
figured that it would be a guess, anyhow, se
be volunteered the remarkable information
that the calls for their services approximated
11,000 in the period tunned.
There were Mill nripsf- made as thp result
of these snllii ..
"A huri'.v call sometimes indicates n speed
of dxt. miles an hour for one of these offi
cers," ndded the -upei inlendetit.
"That menus iirrilic wear and tear en

Then he informed me that for repairs and
replacements of dnningcd jinrts le the c.velcs

period.
DIBKCTOIl COHTLLYiir. who has been
having hi- own -tretiueus times in an
effort te Indipe Count il te yive him mere
Policemen, had a lew illuminating remarks
-u the siibjei t of ieliie budget.
New Yerk, for i- oelite -ervice alone, np np
pieprintts nimuailv mere iluni $"0,000,000.
This vear II i- SHI.Oilli.eOO.
This 1- about one-half the budget for the
entire Department of Public Safety of this
city, with Its seven separate bureaus.
Philadelphia is the enlv Inrge pity In the
ceuntr.v where the police nnd traffic systems
are net organized and operated under sep
arate control.
In this city .$30,000 Is available for the
police surgYens' department.
New Yerk for Its bureau sets nslde $300,
000. Tlie contrast seems ridiculous.
The fnct is net appreciated that the
satPty of ten- of thousands of citizens de
pends tipetf the judgment and experience of
pelit e surgeons.
The instant pn individual Is arrested for
driving nn automobile while under tbp in
fluence of liquor, or when drunk, a police
surgeon Is sent for I!e decides tlie question
of the man's condition.
But for the professional skill nnd fidelity
of these nun scores of drunken chauffeur
would evety jear be tinned loose te endan
ger life.
During the last yenr every member of the
police and lire departments wns examined ns
te his ph steal condition and the result card
Indexed for futuic rcferi nee.
The thousand nnd one miner hurts nnd in

pared for by the police surgeons.
