As a concrete example, the group might consist, in Yorkshire, od the detective representatives of the three Ridings and of Sheffield, Bradford, and Leeds, who would pool their knowledge and resources. in their investigation of any serious crime in Yorkshire.

The scheme might be elaborated by the provision of a centrally sta bioned motor vehicle," containing every necessary form of apparatus for the investigation-of a crime on the spot. By such a scheme, Dr. Smith added, one would have ap proached as near as possible the ideal of Scotland Yard, without its drawbacks.
