NEW POLICE COLLEGE
TO TRAIN RECRUITS
11 FROM OTHER CITIES
NEW YORK, May 13.—(#*)—A piece
of detective work appropriately un
derlies the newly established Police
Academy which Commissioner En
right has dedicated as the future
West Point of the nation’s bluecoats.
Last year police headquarters was
agog over the mysterious and pro
longed absence abroad of Inspector
John J. Noonan, now the academy’s
first commandant. He had slipped
away with no one knowing it, and
the question was: “Who was he af
ter?
The question was never answered,
for it developed that the inspector's
secret mission was merely to do
some quiet and correspondingly freer
sleuthing the police the world over,
in order to make the pi’esent Palice
Academy the sum of the latest inter
national ideas in police training.
Inspector Noonan, it has been ex
plained, was sent overseas by Com
missioner Enright with credentials
to Scotland Yard and the police
chiefs of Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Rome
and other capitals. He was order
ed to keep lips sealed and eyes and
ears open, and saturate himself with
the best in training facilities and
methods to the end that the “West
Point” dream might he realized.
Commissioner Enright announces
that the academy will he open not
only to New York police and police
recruits, but also to those from oth
er cities. A limited number will be
accepted from outside New York who
will be trained to serve as instruc
tors at home.
The academy will have special de
partments devoted to training men
as police clerks to do the highly spe
cialize police paper work; to prepare
traffic experts to meet the growing
complexity of motor transportation
problems; to teaching the art ol
fingerprinting, Bertillon measure
ments and other phases of criminal
identification, and to the specia
training of officers and instructors
The academy also will contain the
first training department lor police
women anywhere in the world. It.
will retain and enlarge the existing
training schools here lor recruits,
detectives and mounted men.
The academy opened recently with
an initial enrollment of 350. The
course is for three months.
Venerable Veterans Plan
To Camp Again In Texas
DALLAS, Tex., May 14—(#>)—The
scant line of gray, remnant ot that,
host which rallied to the standard
of Lee, 65 years ago, will make an
other stand with the annual encamp
ment of the United Contederate Vet
erans here May 19-22. j
Shrunken from the army of 600,000
men who were under arms at the
peak of the strife between the states,
to not more than 35,000, the veter
ans’ organization will be able to
bring perhaps 4,000 of its member
ship to Dallas, its leaders state. With
them will gather about 10,000 Sons
of Veterans, who will meet for th$ir
thirtieth annual reunion. It will be
the thirty-fifth reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans.
The Confederated Southern Mem
orial association also will meet at
this time for its twenty-sixth annual
convention.
The men who stepped forth to the
rattle of the drums in the conflict
of the sixties, will bivouac again
about their camp fires here to retell
the story of the war. Accommoda
tions for quartering the visitors are
being arranged at Fair Ground Park.
The advanced age of the old sol
diers is giving some anxiety to those
preparing for the annual parade,
the principal feature of the reunions.
Twenty bands have been obtained t
to supply music for the march.
Gateway want-ads bring results.

Lifting the veil
IN DISTANT lands — in jungles and fertile valleys, on
mountains and by the sea — millions of people are pa
tiently laboring in the collection of raw products.
Ships and trains bring these products to refineries and
manufacturers — to be fashioned into comforts, luxuries,
conveniences — for you.
Advertisements tell you when these products are ready
for your inspection. Advertisements tell you where to
see them — how they are made — and what they cost.
Advertisements lift the veil of production and tell you
the things you need to know to buy safely and wisely.
Let advertisements guide you in all your purchases.
Read them regularly. They are as interesting as any
other news in the paper — with this in their favor. They
concern you, personally.
