a Fe rtp cn -- +4 May 14, 1927 WINNETKA TALK force as rapidly as possible. By means of this beacon light we are enabled to summon each officer on post to the nearest telephone where he may re- ceive orders, and be informed of all ex- traordinary happenings, such as bur- glaries, automobile thefts, missing per- sons, etc. also given a personal des- cription of the fugitive. Request Larger Range "The attention of the Board of Trustees is respectfully called to the following suggestions that in my judg- ment would prove beneficial to the ser- vice. First, a target range where the officers can increase their proficiency in marksmanship is needed badly. If there is anyone in the world who should be able to shoot straight and quickly, it is a police officer. It is no reflection to say that the average po- lice officer cannot shooot accurately. Nobody could possibly be or become an expert revolver shot without instruc- tion and practice. There is no such thing as a 'born shot.' Persistent prac- tice is necessary to make good con- sistent. shots. If practice is discon- tinued, proficiency is bound to decrease --regular practice is the answer. "Second, a small gymnasium is need- ed to keep the men in good physical condition. Due to police conditions, patrolmen lead very irregular lives. Twice as much work is required at night as in the day, and in order that the work may be equally distributed, the force must rotate from day to night duty. 'This irregularity is bound to break up and change a man's mode of living, eating and sleeping. In order to counteract this change it is vitally necessary that some place be provided that they may keep in excellent physical trim, to be able to meet such emergencies as may arise. Desires Identification Bureau "Third, establishment of a bureau of identification on a small scale. One of my sergeants has studied finger-prints in the Bureau of Identification in Chi- cago and can handle the work along with his other duties. For the last ten years this department has taken prints of offenders and has quite a collection of them. We are now filing them ac- cording to their classification, but for lack of equipment cannot proceed very far. A camera and a fingerprint filing cabinet is necessary to go farther. Other small police departments that have established identification systems have found that in a short time re- wards for the an~rehension of fugitives have often repaid the total cost of such equipment. "I believe the department, as a whole, may take pride in its record of the past year, and I take this means of commending all members for the splendid results obtained as a result of their loyalty, efficient service and de- votion to duty. "In conclusion, I desire to extend to the president and Your Honorable Body, my sincere thanks and apprecia- tion for the splendid support and co- operation accorded me and the De- partment during the past year." Mrs. Edith G. Bartlett Dies at Winnetka Home Mrs. Edith Goodland Bartlett, well known song writer and composer, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs, R.
