Wife OF PREMIER IN
TROUSERS AT 4 BALI,
Mrs. Asquith Amazes Guests At
Swiss Resort With Her
Dance Costume.

Marreu, Switzerland, Feb. 19-There
was a lively fancy dress ball here the
other night, which Mrs. Asquith played
a large part in organizing. Some of
the dresses were striking. but none
more SO than her own gold brocaded
Turkish trouser costume. When the
fun became furious, she danced a pas
seul in the center of the floor, while
the company marveled at the uncon-
~ventionalty of the British prime minis
ter's wife.
This recalls a famous incident in her
bachelor days, when as Magot Ten
nant, h caused a tremendous sensa-
ton by entertaining a company at a
Melton Hunt ball with a skirt dance.

The Canal Zone Police.
Erom CT Minhnlau

They have very different looking po-
licemen on the American side Of the
zone line; tall. bronzed ex-troopers of
the United States cavalry, in the smart
khaki uniform of the zone police.
These are the men who have made
brigandage a lost art on the isthmus,
and have taught the Panamanians to
vote with ballots instead of machetes
and Mauser rifles. Two hundred of
this efficient little military constahnl-
airy, much resembling the Canadian
northwest mounted police, keep the 400
square miles Of the canal zone as
peaceful as a New England village on
Sunday morning, and any one who mis-
k 1t for n iawless frontier com
lnunity is likely to find himself making
roads with the rest of the chain gang.
