The ancient city of Constantinople or Istamboul has been undergoing a thorough clean-up and here we see some of the men who have been helping to effect this “miracle.” Left to right: A traffic policeman, neatly coated and helmeted, directs the stream of motor-cars and more primitive vehicles in one of the main streets of the city. (2) A street-cleaner wears a western cap over his eastern headgear. (3) Constantinople has had police telephone-boxes for five years now. These enable constables on their beat to maintain communication with headquarters.
