PHILADELPHIA LIKE DESERTED VILLAGE IN CHE DRIVE % Marine Chief of Police Satised Night’s Clean-up, By FRANK GETTY. United Press Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 9.—“1 am greatly encouraged by the start we’ve made,” Gen. Smedley D. Butler, Philadelphia’s new director of public safety, said today, after surveying reports from police districts of the results of the first day and night of his sensational drive to clean up the city. Nor was the General’s information confined to reports, for early today he was speeding through murky streets of Philadelphia’s, tenderloin, peering into shuttered houses of ill-repute, l*arred against his coming, and taking personal supervision of the night's assault of law and order against the city's crime. Like Deserted Village Philadelphia’s tenderloin, as those shady sections lying within the Sixth and Eighth precincts are defined, was like a deserted village. Saloon doors were padlocked, houses where less virtuous of the city’s sisterhood were wont to flaunt their charms, showed no signs of life: wooden shutters covered many of the windows along the less reputable byways, while police blotters recorded the first night’s raid;*. Twenty tenderloin “speakeasys" I padlocked! Such was the surprisingly ] small total for the first twelve hours ! since General Butler, watch in hand, told his police force of 5,000: “Go to it. I give you forty-eight hours. Clean up or hand over your shields.”

Time by Forelock That the number of arrests was so small is attributed to the credit the tenderloin gives this “devil dog” commander for meaning what he says, i The tenderloin has suffered reforms before and survived- fb sin some more j and its spokesmen are frankly skeptical of the permanence of the present experiment. But for the present it is taking no chances. The tenderloin just took time by the forelock and closed up. FLORISTS TALK SHOP Ofiffers Elected for New Year and Awards Are Made.

This is a case where the old saying, “A chain is as strong as its weakest link” does not hold true. The weakest link is the bottom one, which is capable of holding 238 pounds. But the second link from the top can bear 239 pounds and it must also bear the weight of the eight links w r hich are below it. As the ten links weigh five pounds, the eight must weigh four; 239—4 leaves 235 as the amount of weight which may be hung from the chain.
