Pleas for a Different Park Police
Garb.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I write to urge a change in the color OF
the uniform now worn by the fine body OF
men SO faithfully guarding our magnificent
city parks. For several years the present
STYLE of uniform has been a source of an
noyance, not only to the wearers, but to
every thinking individual with good TASTE
and a return to the regulation blue would
meet with general approval. The suit now
in use is of a very ugly shade of green, and
although the men are required to pay
generous price for it. there has not been
one issue of the uniform which has with
stood the abuse of the elements. and even
before the cloth has been worn rev
months the color has faded, until the use
full park policemen have turned gray, even
in the prime of life Every true American,
either by birth or by adoption, loves the
blue" and as the good taste of those who
suggested it, and also the test of years has
proven that it is the best color for the
army. the navy and the Marine Corps, as
well as for the uniforming of bodies OF
men like policemen, firemen railway emz
ployes and others, it does not seem that
any other color should be allowed to super
cede it. The park policemen have patiently
borne the ridicule repeatedly heaped upon
the ugly green uniform that the orders or a
superior official compelled them to wear,
accepting in good spirit the titles OF
"grasshoppers," "katydids,' greenhorns,
"locusts, "greenies," pickles" and others
ACCOMMODATING, even though their own good
sense must have convinced them that IN
yidious criticism was really in order. AS
your valuable paper is always earnest in
its support of those who deserve and need
support beg your good offices to secure
the correction of error against popular
TASTE which has long since been convincing,
and, as suggested by correspondent in
your issue of June g. return to "a neat
fitting uniform of blue with brass buttons
NJ. V. BENNER.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
wish to add mine to the protests now
being made against the park policemen
being compelled to wear that hideous green
uniform any longer. When 1t was adopted
1 can imagine why this color was selected.
AS the duties of the officers conffne them
to the public reservations, 1t was, no doubt,
assumed that green uniform would har-
monte with the trees and shrubbery; pos
sbly it was intended to make band OF
latter-day Robin Hoods of them. If SO,
their equipment is not complete, for long
bow and a CULVER of arrows should have
been added The intent was good, but the
selection of the color was not happy one,
for it soon fades and when we meet one
of the officers with one pants leg green and
the other rusty brown, he presents any

thing but an imposing appearance. II is no
wonder that the men keep TO the unfre-
quented walks as much possible TO
avoid meeting any one they know. Robin
Hood was an outlaw and a breaker of Jaws.
and to clothe our-finest in uniform mcdel-
ed after his is not in keeping with the Mt
ness of things. l sincerely hope that the
authorities will see the ridiculous figure
that the officers cut In their greenish- brown
uniforms and order a change as soon as
possible. w. >. QUIGLEY.

When Booker Was a Boy.
AT the beginning of the civil war,
