Ex-Controller Herman A. Metz might

differences between Public and Private

A fat woman ckuckled out loud. but Mr..
Metz flushed fiery red and studied tho

ladies that want TO vote hadn't more sense
than some men that do. l think It would
be a good thing TO stop voting altogether.
But there are too many people meddling in

Six at Jamaica High School Dis
band Because of Rules.

AS the result of a revolt against rules
said TO have been formulated by Theodore
c. Mitchill. principal Of the Jamaica High
School, for the guidance of the three fra
ternities and three sororities connected with
the institution, all six organizations yester-
day withdrew from the school, and will
hereafter be outside organizations OF
Jamaica II they reorganize. AT present
however. they no longer exist
The fraternities and sororities were infiu-
onced in disbanding, one OF their members
said yesterday because Mr.. Mitchill threat
ened 10 abolish them all by the first of
March II they did not live up TO his rules
The organizations decided the most graceful
thing TO do was TO disband before being
abolished.
The most unpopular rule was one requir-
ing fraternity dances to cease at a. m
, Previously they had lasted until 2 or
o'clock Another rule required all prospec-
tive fraternity members TO attain certain
standing in their studies before being
eligible for membership.

NO PLAYGROUND FOR DOGS
stover Refuses Requests for Permission
TO Exercise Them in Central Park.

Because their dogs are not able TO get
sufficient exercise, several persons, among
them a number OF women, have requested
Park Commissioner Stover to permit the
use Of large part Of the ball field in Cen
trail Park FOR an hour or more every morn
ing as an exercising ground for the animals.
At present, the persons interested say, there
IS an order Of the Park Department pre-
venting such a harmless pursuit, because II
IS made necessary for all dog owners 10
have leashes on their animals when they
enter the park.
That is the order. but the Park Commis-
sioner said yesterday it was so frequently
broken that he thought the dogs were hav-
ing more exercise than the law allowed
within the park confines. IT Is his inten-
ton to put the park sharpshooter back on
the job presently TO bring such violations
70 a speedy end. AS there are hundreds Of
dogs i'm the park every day, Commissioner
Slower denied the application for exercise
privileges, fearing, for one thing that there
would be so many fights in progress each
day that dog owners would be constantly In
