Tells One of His Hob-
bies — Read It
Like other persons. policemen
have their own hobbies: hobbies
which make life attractive. (Take
Sergeant Bryan H. Silk, for instance.
Sergeant Silk has charge of the First
District police station.
\tht is the.sergeant's hobby?
Such an e‘asy question to answer.
Ask any of his friends. It in bird
does. And he knows them all by
their pedegrce. Dogs raised by Ser-
geant Silk are known in many states.
He has been the owner of many
prize winners and blue ribbon can-
ines which have sold for large
prices; in fact, it was only recently
when he disposed of one of his ani-
mals for $500.
At the present time. Sergeant‘silk
has sold all his {dogs with the ex-
ception of two youngsters which he
uses himselt in the woods. But. that
doesn‘t mean that he is going to stop
breeding dogs. By no means.
Chances are that spring will find
several dogs bred in the purple in
his kennels.
"i believe that anyone who keeps
a dog should keep a. real thorough-
bred." says Sergeant Silk. "It
doesn't cost any more to breed a.
worth-while dog that!. it does a.
mul."
But Sergeant Silk isn't the only
policeman with a hobby. Nix.
'Charley g‘horpe has a bug on radio.
Charley. the man who rides the
motorcycle in warm weather, sits up
every night he is off duty straining
his ears listening for the welcome
words, and they would be welcome
it they ever were. ”This is station

on the other hand..belicves in out-
iot-door sports. Any morning he is
her and up to January 15, he can
oft duty during November, Decem-
be found at daybreak hiding behind
a blind off Goose Island. Cockenoe
or Bett‘s Island waiting for the
early {light of wild duck. For duck
shooting is the sport which Patrol-
man Loekwood makes his hobby.
Friends declare that he would nthcr
shivver shooting ducks with the
thermometer down to 10 above zero
thmnhe sitting close to warm tire.
Thomas Dorney. another patrol-
man who is on duty in the irst Dis-
trict. has a. goo‘d hobby: b it is an
expensive one. His hubby is auto-
mobiles. And just try to tell Tom
that there is a better automobile
made than lhc——-—-—und listen to
what he has to say. For Tom is
so enthused about the particular
make ofmaehine which he owns
;that he wouldn‘t take any other
.make on a bet.
2' And then there is genial “Jar"‘l
‘ Murray. the newly wed. Patrolman
Murray's greatest delight is to tell
a funny story or hear one. \Vhts's
more, “Jar" would just as soon tell
one on himself as anyone else.
iiere’s one he told the other day:
"in my younger days I owned a
horse which I was very proud. I
do it now). ' Ono cold winter’s!
