HOW JARBOE KEPT COOL.
Police Headquarters Desk Sergeant
Did It by Imagination.
Desk Sergeant Holly Jarboe, at police headquarters, has always been a man of an inventive mind. Yesterday, when the heat was most suffocating, he hit upon a plan to keep cool. Back of the booking desk at the Central station is, or was, a picture of an ice-bound boat with the North pole off in the distance. Jarboe sat for some time gazing at the picture and wiping perspiration from his brow and face. Suddenly seizing a pair of scissors from his desk, he took the picture from its place on the wall.
Deftly he cut out four large chunks of ice and the North pole. These he placed in his pocket, to the amazement of his brother officers.
"What's that for, Holly?" questioned Sergeant Patrick Clark.
"I just put a few hunks of ice and the North pole in my pocket to keep me cool," he replied as he place his handkerchief back in his coat pocket.
"Well, you certainly are that imaginative kid," said the sergeant, who later was caught in the act of pilfering the remaining pieces of ice from the picture.
