Military Layout Another Attraction In Big Drill Hall of Twentythird Regiment Armory, Among the many brightly painted motor trucks, tires, truck bodies and other things make up the commercial part Brooklyn's auto show that, the Armory of the Twenty-third in Regiment. there are two exhibits where you can't leave an order for motor truck If you try, but which you should be sure to see.

The one is the Police Safety Exhibit, presided over by police sergeant and patrolman. The other is an exhibit of military equipment, under the care of camp officers and men of the Twenty-third Regiment, who became intimately acquainted with everything the exhibit includes during their months of servIce on the Mexican border. You could hardly miss the police exhibit if you tried. The space It occuples, up near one corner of the big armory, is flanked on either side by police traffic stanchions, such as you can see in the busiest parts of Brooklyn's thoroughfares, and bearing the injunction: "Car Stop Safety and "Keep to the Right." respectively. At the entrance to the exhibit stands 8 sure-enough street corner lamp of the kind that line Fifth avenue, Manhattan, and on the tall lamppost are the lights of the new police flash system and a new police signal box.

No sooner have you entered the exhibit space than a trim policeman takes you in a friendly custody. You have just had time to take in at a glance, the safety first placarde that surround the inclosure, the telephone switchboard, at one side, an odd-lookIng machine that resembles big movie camera, and the inside of a police station, in miniature, when he begins to tell you what it's all about. The lamppost that guards the entrance to the exhibit, your guide tells you, is one of the many recently installed throughout the city, and by means of which the new police flash system is operated. To a visitor at the show, the lamp and the system of which it is a part, is of interest chiefly because of its use in the recovery of stolen automobiles or other vehicles, and the capture of the thief. Lose Your Auto? Go to Box, Ring; Presto! It's Found.

Should you be so fortunate as to own an automobile, and so unfortunate as to have it stolen, the best thing you can do is to go at once to the nearest police box of the kind on exhibition. You open the box by turning the key, which cannot b6 removed, pick up the telephone recelyer inside, and tell your troubles to the sergeant of the precinct in which the box is situated. He takes your name and address, and you "ring off." The next instant the four green lights on the pole, which face in either direction on both the avenue and the cross streets, flash for a moment, and a bell inside the box rings. The flash and the ring continue intermittently every few seconds, and within a short time the policeman on the post, who has seen the signal, comes to the box. It is significant that, although he may be four blocks away, if he takes more than three minutes to answer the signal, he must give an explanation.

Then in rapid succession appear the four other policemen, who are controlled by that particular station, and all obtain from the sergeant your description of the car and any other information you may have given him. All the other stations also are flashed in the same manner, from the Central Station. The policemen go back to their posts and then Mr. Auto Thief, for whom they have been keeping a sharp lookout, tries to pass one of the patrolmen to make his get-Away, but Is promptly arrested, and while you have your car returned, he is held for an interview with a magistrate. Signal stations of the type described are placed at the approach of every brigade, and at every ferryhouse, by means of which an auto thief is most likely to attempt his escape, and though the system has been in use only five weeks, it.

has thoroughly demonstrated its worth. In one case, thanks to Its use, stolen car was in the hands of the police seven minutes after its disappearance had been reported. In another instance a patrolman at the Houston street ferry, Manhattan, was called by his signal light and told to be on the lookout for A truck and two horses, a description of which was given him. Three minutes later A man riding one horse and leading another came to the ferry, but the policeman's description fitted the animals so well that he arrested the rider, who confessed. The truck and harness were recovered after the thief had told where he had left them.

The signal stations are useful for many other purposes also, 8.8 by merely pressing a button on the outside anyone can summon a policeman, or by means of the telephone can communicate at once with headquarters. At the exhibit the system is illustrated by a map showing the location of the signal stations in one precinct in Manhattan and the manner in which they may be operated, both by a civilian at the station or through the precinct headquarters. Another feature of the police exhibit is the machine that looks like a giant camera. but when the policeman in charge throws a switch it proves to be a miniature theater, and by illustration and concise directions shows and tells both the auto driver and the pedestrian how to avoid auto accidents. In order to impress upon the visitor the number of such accidents that are reported to the police daily, every traffic accident in the Greater City is reported by means of the switchboard connecting with Police Headquarters to those in charge of the exhibit and bulletined at once, so that the board showa a record of all such accidents for that day.

The police exhibit is presided over by Sergeants Alexander M. J. Knittel and Hugo Woenschie and Patrolmen George J. Brust and William Eynon, one sergeant and one patrolman being on duty at the exhibit for a certain period, until relieved by the other sergeant and the other patrolman. Military Exhibit Interesting in Its "Preparedness." The military exhibit at the show, located at the end of the armory opposite the main entrance to the floor, comprises an army supply wagon of the type used by the Twenty-third and all troops at the border, also an automobile unit, actually used during the regiment's service in Texas, together with a Lewis machine gun of the United States Army standammunition and all equipment Incidental to its use.

There is also on exhibition a Sibley squad tent, with its eight cots, and complete arms and field equipment for eight men. The new type of shelter, or "pup" tent, half of which is carried by each man. and which are used when on march, is also shown, together with a complete feld kitchen and sample rations, including garrison. travel, reserve and emergency allowances. The type of one-pole tents used by officers in the feld is also on exhibition.

35. ughty. pre 10-30 dost ILy PL hell Pratt AGE a lee receP The first passenger train to run over the New York Connecting Railroad will be the aristocratic Federal Express, running daily between Boston and Washington, D. C. This train will make its first trip over the new route by way of the big Hell Gate Bridge and through Long Island City and 1 Pennsylvania Tunnel into Pennsylvania Station, Manhattan, on March 15.

It will have a Pittsburg sleeping car attached. It will leave Boston at some time not yet determined, between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., and. arrive at Pennsylvania Station in about six hours. This train has heretofore made Its connection between Port Morris, In the Bronx, and the Jersey City Station of the Pennsylvania Railroad by way of the car ferry steamboat Maryland, trip of about fourteen miles through the crowded waters of the East River, consuming an hour's time.

In the winter there is occasionally delay ice. The New York Connecting Railroad will be operated by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. The general freight and passenger service will not be Inaugurated until midsummer, as the new line will have to be electrified before the road can be fully opened up for operation. The operation of the Federal Express prematurely is made because of the large patronage of the train and the fact that it is carried by a ferry float Instead of being run into Grand Central Station, which would make necessary a transfer in New York to some other terminal. At the opening of the line next summer, only express trains will be run to Pennsylvania Station.

The local commutera trains will continue to run into Grand Central Station for some time to come. MERIT SYSTEM SOON FOR POSTMASTERS President's New Order Brings Protest From Democratio Members of Congress. Washington, March 8-Many Democratic members of Congress were angry over the announced intention Administration to extoday, tend the merit system to all postmasters of the first, second and third classes, after April 1, by executive order of the President. They declared the effect would be to place in office many Republicans, and some said the purpose was to draw Republican support for Administration measures in the next house, whose political complexion is so uncertain. Postmaster General Burleson explained the move was prompted by reasons of economy and efficiency, however.

Postmasters now in office will serve out the four-year term for which they were appointed, but after April 1 the President will fill each vacancy by appointment of the man making the highest grade in examinations, which are yet to be. arranged. The new order was announced yesterday by Postmaster General Burleson. Nominations will be sent to the Senate, as in the past, but in making selections the President will ba guided by the results of examinations and will send in the names at the head of the lists. Whether the Civil Service Commission, under which fourth-class postmasters are now named, will conduct the examinations has not been determined.

The President's order will provide for a form of modified civil service classification, under which all vacancies, whether caused by resignation, removal or death, will be filled by competitive examination. Those 1 already in the service will continue. without examination, unti the expiretion of the four years term beginning with their last appointment, and will then, it is understood, have to underge I the competitive test..
