The crime wave is growing worse by the hour. I know, you're busy, but that won't cut ice with the mayor. He's demanded results. Now it's our move." Police Captain Steve Brant leaned back in his swivel chair. Piles of newspaper clippings and photos of wanted men littered his desk. "We'll get them." Steve's voice was resolute. "These things take time, you know." Commissioner Drury stiffened. "I agree. But you're taking too long. Far too long." "It can't be helped. We're not miracle men." "I don't care what you are. You better do something quick Or make room for someone who can." Steve's retort died on his lips as the commissioner spun on his heel and left. Steve made a mental summary of the case as it stood to date.

All voters of that school district! are urged to go to the polls on Sep- ; tember 7 and express their prefer-! ence in regard to these two issues.' Several factors have made such an; election advisable.

"Young Stark caught 'em! He needed help but he gets the credit." pulled their first job. Termed the "Black Hoods" by the local press, because of their disguise, the sinister pair had embroiled the entire city. So far,, the police hadn't a single clue. Steve scowled as the phone rang. An irate voice: "This is B. J. Turner, over at the East End Groceteria. . . . Say, that new cop you took oq sure is a dilly. . . ." "What's your trouble?" "That cop's nuts. He takes a notion to pick on me about every other day. . . . I'm getting fed up, captain. . The awning in front of my store is a half-inch lower than the by-law allows. ... He wants to give me a siimmons. . . ." Steve suppressed a chuckle. "Don't let him worry you, Turner. I'll have him smarten up." "You'd better," abruptly, "or I'm seeing the mayor." When the rookie patrolman came in off the beat that afternoon, Steve rang for him. He came in hesitantly. Steve said sharply, "You'll hatfe to brighten up a bit, Stark. Learn to use your noodle." He explained about the complaints. "Biit he broke the law, sir!" the rookie insisted. "Technically -- yea," Steve told, him. "In the light of everyday common sense--no!" Steve dismissed the rookie, shook his head dolefully- and called H a day. A week later Commissioner Drury strode into Steve's office. "The holdup last night. The Black Hoods again." Steve remained silent. "I've Just come in from the mayor's office," Drury want an. "He gives you a week to pick them up." He paused a moment. "And that Stark kid. Fire him now. He's just a nuisance." "He's Dan Stark's boy." Steve shook his head sadly. Dan Stark had been his best friend. And before he cashed in, with a gangster's bullet in his chest, Steve had promised to see that his kid got a break. As the commissioner left, Steve made up his mind. Let them do their own dirty work. Good cops weren't made overnight. • They all had to learn. He rang for a prowl car brought from the garage. This might be his last day; his last chance to view the city from the seat of a police cruiser. Drury was ruthless. More than one cop had learned that to his regret. As he prepared to leave the phone i rang. The desk sergeant was on j the line, bubbling over with excitement. "The Black Hoods--young Stark caught 'em! He needed help but he gets the credit--later found their weapons, hoods all!" "A marvelous piece of work," the commissioner was saying. "Who tipped you off, Stark?" The rookie shook his head. "Nobody, sir," proudly. "I arrested them under Section Ave, Sub-section two of the city by-law." "Thunder ation!" Steve gasped. "Section five!" The commissioner looked "What's that cover?"
