DETECTIVE TRACES LOST SHIRT
The head of the Victorian Police Force is an ex-Scotland Yard man and he has trained his force faithfully and well. This was shown when a detective at headquarters lost his shirt. He undressed in his room and went to take a shower. When he returned the shirt was gone. The practical jokers in the quarters proved their innocence and the Scotland Yard technique went into action. A sheet of paper placed where the shirt had been and the door was opened. The draught caught up the paper wafted it through the open window. It floated over an adjoining building and the detectives found it in the back of adjoining premises occupied by the Royal Australian Air Force. Beside it was the missing shirt.
