IN ZULULAND. There’s no snappier dresser among
the cops of the world than the native Zulu policeman of
South Africa. Note the hat, the sporty leggings and other
details, including bare feet.
HAITI’S POLICE ARE LABELED. If all other signs
fail in identifying these two as officers of the law, the hats
verify it. They patrol the streets of Port au Prince.
This girl, being of cast-iron determi
nation, was bound she’d get on in
the world. She poisoned her hus
band and his family to collect the
insurance. “Judge,” she said in
court, “they were all so old and
feeble, I couldn’t bear to see them
drag around any more." Where- "
upon the whole courtroom shed
tears of sympathy and she was
acquitted.
The combative girl Deep
thinker and all that, hut
disagrees strongly with the
press and public opinion.
Champions murders, un
. popular governments, and —
will uphold any cause that
hasn't a leg to stand on.

wrongdoing.)
Left: IN THE CLASSIC STYLE. Powder
puff toes, tasseled hat and kilts set the po
lice of Athens, Greece, grandiosely apart
from any in the world. Here’s a venerable
member of the force.
THE EGYPTIAN “MOUNTED.” He
also gets his man, this Sudanese police
man on his lumbering camel. For desert
patrol his mount is far sturdier and more
dependable than a horse would be.
These lovely girls have very strong |
feelings about love and matrimony.
Nothing but good substantial settle
ments out of court can swerve them j
from suing parents for alienation of
husbands' affection, or erring hus
hands for alimony and fees.

You wouldn't think
that this little wife is
exceptionally strong

A frail young girl in the
throes of love will show
unexpected powers of de
termined effort. If the
lucky swain stays away,
she will call on him. If he
refuses to answer the bell,
she will ring the janitor
and force an entrance on
the plea that he may be ill.

about the only touch of Oriental style in
the uniform of this Chinese policeman who
pounds the sidewalks of Shanghai.
