WANTS TO BE POLICE WOMAN.
JOKE ON PARIS MOTORISTS. (Sun Cable.) A woman, wearing a police cap and tunic, yesterday stepped into the roadway at one of the main entrances to the city, states the Paris correspondent of The Times, and. with upraised truncheon, signalled the traffic to stop.
The policewoman has not yet appeared in Paris, but the woman’s authoritative gesture was respected, and long streams of cars accumulated. The woman kept the truncheon uplifted, despite the cars’ impatient hooting, until a policeman investigated the hold-up and arrested the woman, who is well-known to the police for other activities.
She explained that she had read in the newspapers that women would shortly be recruited for police service, and she desired to practise before qualifying.
Devon has a hull weighing 34721b.. the biggest in the world, thus beating America’s record of a 33051b. animal.
