jf , >u ever do commit a
crime, well, don't look guilty
around a cop.
Especially if that cop happens
to be Officer* Wilfred Lyons of
the Ann Arbor, Mich, police de¬
partment. A guilty look on the
face of David G. Garrett, one
of the men accused in my kid¬
naping case, led this alert of-
officer to arrest all three of the
fugitives. commendable bit
This highly
of bandit-catching sounds like
something you might read in
True Detective and then snort
in disbelief: And they call this
TRUE Detective?
The modest Mr. Lyons told his
story to me this way: “I saw
the three beys driving by in
what I later found out was your
car. I was alone in my patrol
car As I passed them, I noticed
the driver staring at me very
suspiciously. I hailed them over
to the curb and pulled up be¬
hind.
“I hardly had time to open
the door before the driver in
your car had hopped out and
was racing toward me.” The
youth who was driving, later
identified as Garrett, was the
one who seemed to be the boss
of the crowd and who wielded
the gun on me the night they
took possession of my car.
"Garrett showed me his driv¬
er's license even before I asked
for it,” Lyons continued. ‘‘He
must have gussed I suspected
the car was stolen, for he of¬
fered to take me to the car to
show r me his vehicle registration.
He said, ‘I don't have it on me,
but it’s up there in my glove
compartment. Come on up and
I'll shew it to you.’ ”
Lyons went on, saying, "But
I knew better than to follow his
suggestion. I radioed for some
help. Four times Garrett insist¬
ed I go with him to see his title
of ownership.”
When the other officers ar¬
rived on the scene, Lyons fin¬
ally went to taka a look in the
glove compartment that Garrett
had been so anxious to lead him
to. Inside he found not the car
registration, but—you guessed it
—the gun. Lyons said Garrett
Garrett told him later: ‘‘If I’d
ever got back to that glove com¬
partment, you never would have
got back to police headquart¬
ers.”
We’re all glad that he did get
back—and with the three young
thugs in his custody. A lot of
credit is due this fine officer
for his alertness in spotting the
trio, and for his coolness in ap¬
prehending them.
Seems we’re getting cheated

The enameling and firing
phase must be done at least
twice with each article, both on
the bottom and top. The under
side is always done first as the
piece is supported on “stilts”,
or a tiny, pin-pointed tripod.
Because some colors react in a
different manner to the high
temperature of the kiln, not all
colors can be applied and fired
at the same time. Turquoise,
one of the most" popular and
frequently used hues, can be
heated again and again with¬
out much noticeable change.
But red, for instance, will after
repeated firings, will begin to
turn black, first around the
edges and eventually all over.
If a pure red is desired, this
color must be applied as one of
the last steps. But if the gra¬
dual fusion of red into black is
desirable, it is put on first. Vir¬

have to be fired as many as 30
