Girls to Enforce Hat Pin Ordinance

And since the decision has been
made, the next step is to get the girls.
The chief says he has received letters
from many volunteers. From these he
will choose the beauties" and they
will be placed in charge of Mrs. Mary
Owens, Chicago's only police woman.
Then when the woman with the hat
pins strolls by, fashionably dressed
girl, wearing a tiny star where she
formerly wore the pin of her sorority
will touch her on the shoulder and
suggest that, THE captain wants
you"
And herein lies Just one fear that
may wreck the proposed beauty squad
before its organization.
What If the woman shouts: "Wha,
for?" and the beauty policeman says:
Your hat pins are too long: they
stick out too far; you are under ar
rest" will the arrested one cry Leave
me alone or I'll scratch your eyes
out?"
Will this be followed by a real hair
pulling contest? And will the origina
gentleman policeman have to cry
break" stop the argument, and take
both fighters for ride in the blue
wagon?
These are questions experience alone
can solve And Chief McWeeny says
he will take chance on the battles
just to try out his plan.

LEGAL ADVICE
FOR employees

Officials OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road are considering proposition to
extend free legal advice to employees
through its educational department.
The Illinois plan, now in successful
operation, is said to be favored.
Under the Illinois Central plan the
organization and all the talent of the
company's law department are placed
at the service of every employe of the
system in case Of emergency More
than that. the company causes the
publication Of articles in it's magazine
from time to time and also publishes
and distributes pamphlets containing
articles treating of matters wherein
experience has shown, for lack of
proper legal advice and aid, employees
have been imposed upon or nave sul-
fered financial loss or worry that
might have been prevented had they
been apprised of their rights in the
premises.
The first thing the Illinois Central
bureau explains to the men is the
method pursued by a certain class of
loan sharks, pointing out to such as
have suffered what their rights are
and proffering aid to those who may
be in trouble at the time in straight
ening out their affairs and extricating
them from the clutches of the men
and concerns engaged in illegal prac-
tices, An official said;
The object in taking this further
step in the direction of assistance in
legal matters is purely a friendly one
Such employees as are in any trouble
Of this kind will be protected as far as
their position is concerned, their cases
will be handled cOnhdentially as far
as possible and their record will re-
main unaffected. The company feels
that If II can aid any of its employees
in this manner it will be we'll repaid
in better and more loyal service by
having helped to remove such a cause
of worry and possible temptation"
