Cirtt Oat Jobs Borrow nn* - DiMffMn— kt After MIimoU, May 14—That there la still "one born every minute" an<l a time* twins la the mki liellef of Chief McCormick, the head of the local police. Chief McCormick's conviction la born of hia knowledge of thj|tt specie of the fish family called in the parlance of the day a common, or garden variety "sucker." On an average of one a day for the last several days a stranger has ap peared at the police headquarters here asking the whereabouts of a bltb chat who offered them a job and then her . rowed 120 of them until he could get tc Mineola where he would Immediately pay back the money. And the Chief remarks, "Oh, you're another one, hey?" and makes the try on the blotter, tells his caller, a lit tle wearily, that has already sent word to New York where the crime was committed and where the pollen are trying to located he swindler. The "smooth guy" who works thl* game on the tmwary does it through an ad In the. papers and meets 'his victim in the Long Island Railroad station. He gives the man a Job, gets hie confidence, is well dressed, affable and suddenly die covers that he left his wallet In Mine ola. He is temporarily short, will the "fall guy” let him have (20 which will be returned as soon as they can get Mineola. Sure, who wouldn’t lend his new boss $20? Then the "new boss looks about and discovers his wife has not arrived yet and the train Is soon to leave. He gets worried about his wife, excuses himself to look through the eta tion for her, for women are such poor travelers and they never meet you where you tell them, and he leaves say ing he will return in a minute and you wait right there. Good-bye boss, good-bye new job, good-bye 20 hard iron men and add an other to the list of those of whom “one is born every second.” Then the victim trails out to Mineola to find the man who fleeced him and tells his troubles to a cop. BOSTON HAS POUCE WOMEN WHO DO NOT USE CLUBS Boston, May 14.—Every man upon the force wears a watch and chain, of course, together with other dlstingulslv ing devices, but not so Boston’s new women police. Quietly dressed, unobtrusive In de meaner, they move in mysterious ways, their duties to perform, according. to Mrs. Margaret MacHugh, one of the appointees. Here are some tof the things the policewomen do and don't do, an out lined by Mrs. MacHugh: They don’t carry guns. They don't wear uniforms. They carry their badges inside their purses. They never call attention to them selves it it can be avoided. They make arrests only when neces sary. They may, In truth, be called “plain clothes women," as their costumes are simple in design and preferably dark. Mrs. MacHugh delivered herself of an epigram: “Common sense and kind ness," said she, "are better than the strong arm and a club." Mrs. Mac Hugh, who was formerly chief night operator in the Brighton telephone exchange, spent her first day off duty on the-Common. “I wouldn't describe the Common as the evil place that some good people see fit to call It," said she. "It Is very well ordered, with well-mannered peo ple, young and old, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. I saw many young women with male friends, Improving the opportunities for talk and companion ship which the Common affords. It is fit, however, that a matron should be about, like a mother at home, keeping a kindly eye on all."

S. CITIZENSHIP Cheyenne, Wyo., May 14.-ALo, the red man has at last been given the full rights ef citizenship by his pale-faced Uncle Sam. Thomas Blackbird, twenty-three years old, Is the first full-bledded Indian ever admitted to citlzeekhlp in the United States. He was given complete natur alization t>y Judge John Riner, in the federal district court here. Blackbird is a full-blooded Sioux In dian, and is a veteran of, the World War. He was admitted under a special act of Congress, passed November 6, 1919, the provisions of which permit any Indian of legal age who has served In the World War to become a citizen without first making any formal dec laration. Henceforth, the Indian may vote, hold office or exercise any other privilege enjoyed by the electroate. Loyal service to the government dur ing the hostilities with the Central Powers removed the ban against Indians becoming citizens, despite the fact that they were born In this country, and Blackbird is the first real "native" to take advantage of the privilege be stowed upon the red man. Blackbird served nearly two years In France, being in several of the Ameri can Army’s major operations. He is^g now in the regular army stationed at Port D. A.

Never build an open fire for any pur- pow near the woods or fields when the woods are dry. Never leave any fire until It is en tirely out. Drench it with water or cover it completely with mineral noil. Never pass even the smallest fire un noticed. Put it out yburaelf or see a fire warden, the owner or some respon sible resident starts for it before you leave. Fire travels with the wind always. Stop its front first and put out the sides and rear later. Sand or soil will smother It, beating will kill It. but water Is always best,. Flirt water or soil along the line,- do not dump It in one place. Beat toward the fire to avoid spread ing it. Always work slowly and deliberately In fighting fire so that every motion counts and your energy Is not wasted.
