Police, Naturs, Law and Order. —Police duties have increased during
the year. Owing to the amount of traffic and the large numbers of foreign-
eis employed by the Bahrain Petroleum Company more men have to be
p av.e on duty in the bazaars and elsewhere. Cases of motor accidents
have to be dealt with almost daily. A section of police is stationed at the
~ et J : ' oleu n 1 Company’s Camp by arrangement with the Companv
a nu thlS i ha v S b ^ n f0Und 10 be ver y useful in dealing with cases at the Camp'.
Although the Force is slightly larger than it was in 1935 it is rarely possi
ble to collect more than forty men on parade. A regular course of musketry
as een arianged and it is intended that every man in the force shall fire
a course once during the year. The standard of firing is steadily improv
ing. Ine health of the police is better and they are not getting malaria as
lequently as m the past. Six non-commissioned officers and men are in
India doing a course of training with the 10th Baluch Regiment. This
is the second contingent which has been sent to India, as the first experi
ment was very successful. The police head-dress was changed during the
year from the Arab aqal and kuffiah to turbans similar to those worn by
troops in Egypt, the Sudan and the Somaliland. The turbans are more
economical and more practical than the other head-dress.
There has been an exceptionally small amount of crime during the year
partly because there is less unemployment and partly because most of the
notorious rogues are employed by the Bahrain Petroleum Company. Illi
cit arak brewing has decreased and the use of methylated spirit mixed with
eau de cologne has become popular especially with the women of the town,
