To the Editor of the "Norrn-Cnina Daly News."
May I venture to put forth suggestion that, if carried out, would to a certain degree slacken the activities of armed robbers?
Tt may be too expensive or at the present time not possible to have direct alarm signals between shops and police stations. 1 would suggest a local system of alarms between every shop and its neigh-ours in such a manner that, if a shop be attacked, the pulling of cord or the pressing of a button would flash the news to the adjoin ing shops, and these in turn will Inotify the polices immediately and Jshow them where an armed robbery is taking place.
In most eases when armed robbers enter a shop the inmates do not dare take any action for fear of getting shot or they get so fright-fened out of the their wits that they ido not know what is the best to be The intershop alarm bell under the counter or in an inconspicuous place will be of great service and a great help in checking robberies of this sort.
Tam, ete,
