IMMACULATE POLICEMEN
Tbo average London policeman takes so much pride in his appearance, both on and off duty, that be requires no official prompting or assistance to keep his uniform neat and smart, 'this was the view expressed by a high official in London, when he commented on the proposal of the Chief Constable of Sheffield to instal a steam press in that city for the purpose of creasing policemen’s trousers. “In the absence of instructions,” it was added, the London policeman turns out immaculately, and he creases his uniform trousers with the same care as his mufti trousers.” The innovation at Sheffield, it is explained, will economise on the bill for policemen’s clothing. An officer on indoor duty will look after the uniforms of his colleagues, and baggy-kneed trousers and creased seasonal suits out of use are to bo stored away in the police office in heat compartments, after being sewn, pressed, and brushed. _ Previously the policemen have kept their uniforms at home.
