Unexpected Concession.

The war of the sexes" has been a
series of defeats for Mere Man. There
is no peace for him. Why should there
be peace for the wicked7 He has to rely
upon the magnanimity of the victors.
That, fortunately, is greater than has
been feared.
An illustrious Chicago exponent OF
the ruling sex, Madame HUNT, president
of the National Milliners' Association,
grants these gracious terms to the con-
quered:
Every man who has good taste and Ideas has
the right to choose his occupation In life"
To be sure, this concession is not 80
large as it looks. How many men have
good taste and good ideas? Very few;
and probably good taste is still rarer
than good ideas are. Nevertheless,
Madame HUNTS language is distinctly
encouraging. 1t is true that the supe-
rior sex is monopolizing all the occupa-
tions. 1t is becoming true that Mere
Mans occupation is gone. But he re-
tains at least the occasional right to
choose his walk in life.
1t doesn't amount to much, perhaps.
Neither does he.

But a policeman half block away blew his whistle

Vacation Time for the Police.

A New York sergeant Of detectives
who is now in command Of the Detective
Bureau of the Police Department, was
quoted in the New York Times yesterday
az making these comments on several
recent robbories:
"See herei What are the conditions In the resi :.
dental section OF the city at this time Of ycar'
People have gone away and boarded UP their houses
The boards virtually act an invitation sign which
says 10 thieves: Come In. help yourselves. There's
no one about Burglars are not particularly slow
In accepting the invitation. Why should they DO,
I'm coming to the kernel OF the matter now.
We haven't any too many policemen. but this ID
the captains and sergeants In charge arc compelled
TO give them longer beats than usual. Instead Of
nve blocks say. they are compelled TO give them
almost double that territory 10 watch. So the
policeman can't watch block very often"
It is no new thing for the residents Of
New York to choose the summer months
for vacation time, nor is this the first year
in which many private residences in the
city have been closed and left without
occupants. That such unprotected and
deserted houses should attract thieves is
not unnatural. When these conditions
prevail the police authorities, who
should know better than any one else the
great opportunities afforded to thieves,
might be expected to take additional
precautions for the protection Of prop
