KANSAS CITY’S POLICE ‘BROKE,’ CRIME GROWING Undermanned Force Goes 'Payless' as Reduced Budget Is Spent. Bu Unit'd Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 16. —Like a harassed mother attempting to clothe a child with last year's undersized garments, Kansas City police authorities are attempting to curb crime in this growing middle western town with a department admittedly undermanned and poorly equipped. And to make matters worse, the police budget for the last two years had been slashed severely by the city council despite advice of policy experts. The city council late in April agreed upon a budget of $1,250,000 for police operations during the current fie cal year. The state board of police commissioners had asked for $1,473,000 which they said the department needed. The commissioners said they would operate the department upon original plans notwithstanding that their budget had been reduced almost $250,000. The year’s program includes majority of suggestions made oy August Vollmer, Berkeley (Cal.) police expert who studied the department last year. Refused to Issue Checks When police department expenditures reached th*s total in March this year, City Manager H. F. McElroy refused to issue the March 15 checks. The 730 officers went unpaid during the remainder of March and April. No provisions were made for paying them back wages in the 1930-31 budget. In mid-April, John L. Miles. World war hero and major in the reserve corp, resigned as chief of police and later a member of the police board resigned. Both said the council and the city manager had “played politics” and had hindered its administrations. Citizens’ Group Formed Replacing Miles is Lewis M. Siegfried former police captain. Seigfried assured police officers that no “outside pressure would be brought upon members of the department.” August Behrendt, World war hero, is the new police commissioner replacing Bert Shields, veteran com- . missioner, who resigned. Governor Henry S. Caulfield, who Is an ex-officio member of the police

Nature never intended any woman to suffer intense or prolonged periodical pain. If you do suffer, build up your general health. Take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound regularly. Take it not merely to relieve pain temporarily. Take it to overcome the conditions which cause pain. 98 out of 100 women report benefit after taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.

Mrs. Golda White ’, Blue Springs, Missouri “I used to suffer everything with cramps. Once I was in bed three weeks. I took treatments but felt no better and people told me how bad I looked. My daughter had to do the work. One day on my way for a treatment I decided to buy a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound instead. I had read the advertisements. The first dose I could feel touch my toes. Two bottles helped me wonderfully. I don’t have cramps any more or periodical headaches. At that time I go right on with my work and I never could before. I have four children and we live on a farm, and I do my washing.”
