LADY P0LE-CAREW.
Voted Most Beautiful Woman In Eng
land by King and Public.

According to the opinion OF King Ed
ward VII, the most beautiful woman
In the British empire is Lady Beatrice
Pole Carew. Perhaps he ought to make
an exception In favor OF his popular
spouse. Queen Alexandra. for every
husband Is supposed to think his wife
the most beautiful woman in the world.
But the British monarch does not even
except his queen in pronouncing this
modern judgment OF Paris. 1t happens
that the opinion OF the king is the opln-
ion OF the public too At least this was
indicated by the result of voting con-
test conducted by an English newspa-
per. Lady Pole-Carew is the wife OF

The Importance Of the service OF civic
organizations In the District OF Columbia
Is emphasized. not diminished. by the alb
sence OF the right to vote. On the material
side such service Is rendered by the Board

the general civic concerns of the District.
There does not, however, exist any strong
organization charging itself primarily with
the dsinterested promotion of the general
public welfare. Such an organisation is
greatly needed. and suggest the propriety
of your naming committee OF 100, to be
composed Of representatives of all elements
and to express the varied interests of the
District in relation to all questions of
social reform and administration. 1t would
differ from commercial organizations whose
primary interest IL material and personal.

Bureau of labor-This bureau should have
the oversight OF pawnshops, loan COM
panies, employment agencies and the en-
forcement of laws relating to factories
workshops and stores. Such a bureau Is
greatly needed for the sake of all who re-
and for all those. including women and
children. who should have the protection of

Pawnshops and loan companies are a ne
former always require careful inspection,
and also the latter, as am told they have
been the undoing Of many in the public
service at Washington.
The adjustment Of the supply and de-
mand OF labor Is OF the highest impor-
lance. The public machinery for this ad-
justment Is licensed employment agencies,
which should have far more serious con-
sideration in this country than they re-
ceive at present. A careful canvass of en-
ployment agencies Of the District of CO.
lumbia last spring indicated that these
agencies are no better, and probably no
worse, than those Of other cities, but
their value Is far below what 1t might be

| inspection and should have especially quail
| flied supervision to prevent abuses and to
| enlarge their utility
The growth of the national capital and
| the increase of trade and manufacture
| necessitate proper factory and shop laws
and definite responsibility for their en-
| forcement.
Bureau of insurance.-In place of a COM
missioner of insurance. with one or two
clerks. a fully organized bureau. with chief
| and adequate staff, Is needed. Particular
| attention should be given to the economic
| effects of Industrial Insurance, while other
means of saving, such as banking insur-

HoEY FOR TORONTO.
In Return Col. Taylor Will Get Thoney
for Boston Next Year.

Boston. June 90 John IIoey. the utIl-
itv outfiplder of the Boston Americans
has been traded to the Toronto Gun oil
the Eastern League. By the terms OF
the trade Boston will procure next year
the sensational fielder, Thoney.
Nearly every club in the two major
leagues has been after Thoney. n lew
days ago President Tayl"r made a de-
terminel bid Tor the player, but was
not able to land him. The reason was
that Toronto could not afford to let
him go in the mildlS of the season.
The Canucks We're leading the race
and to weaken thu club at that period
would be suicidal. But they held out
hope; to Mr.. Taylor which We're rcallZ-
ed yesterday when the deal by which
Hoey goes 10 Toronto in exchange for
Thoney next year was completed.
Thoney has been the bright particu-
lar star of the Eastern League this
wear lie has been batting like a fien'l
ard tici,iing like Il house a-fire. He will
practice with the Bostons next spring
ard when the season opens Boston
fans will have Il chance to size him up.
