some suffrage meetings by way of amuse-
ment instead Of breaking up the furni-

vote In California"
Are you a suffragist?"
"Oh. OF course" said Mrs. Wells. But
while the California women were fighting
for the vote l couldn't say much about it,
because II was politics then, and as
policewoman 1 couldn't mix in politics.
Women Arc for Law.
"Womans vote is counted on in my
town as force for law an dorder. l can
see already. too, that woman suffrage In
operation makes a change for the better

woman member of the Chamber Of Com

Mrs. Wells has been poIlceWoman for
two years. During her first year she
made thirteen arrests, chiefly for infringe
ments of the law In dance halls and NOV

been mostly tracing up people for dis
tracted relatives in other cities or coun-
tries who write the Los Angeles Chief OF
Police TO say that Uncle John or grand
mother or father hasn't been heard from
in two years, but Is supposed to be in
Los Angeles and won't they please find
him c. her?
There are two reasons why women
have or ought to have place on every
police force" Mrs. Wells said. They
have the capacity for patient detail work.
Their training for generations fits them
for it IL Is often needed in police AFFAIRS,
and men are less patient than women
about such things And women care for
the protection Of children more, probably,
than men do. That is the chief reason
why they are needed on the force"
Mrs Wells has a neat uniform, which
she sometimes wears when speaking. but
she seldom dons il for real work, she
I'm a plainclothes officer. I can do
better work that way" she explained.

Mrs. Wells, Of Los Angeles "Plan Clothes" Squad, Says
That Policemen Cannot Handle Big Problems

woman from Los Angeles. but all the
same she has look In her blue eyes
that tells you she car be right ION her
job" at need. 1t is Job that she ap-
pears to like and she has so keen a be-
lief in the moral need for women on the
police force that when she asked her
chief in Los Angeles for leave Of absence
to travel In the Eastern states her Oh
ject was only the avowed one OF in
vestigating moral conditions in cities
other than her own. She wanted also to
that policewomen aren't abnormal Great
ures; she set out, in fact, TO be an
entering wedge in the conservatism which
takes 1t for granted that officers OF the
law must be men.

the police dealt with a public composed

you know the punishment idea Ia
bound to grow less. and the prevention
idea is bound to grow more and more
important, and that is where women can
help-in some parts OF 1t at least"
Then Mrs. Wells told several stories

policewomen in Los Angeles had been
able to prevent many domestic tragedies

drainage channel yesterday found a col

"The women. We were told. always wear

Rest and Motion IN N. un;v.r..

-tSSN dftN tIOtiON III tf1c universe
The studies of Professor Campbell
On the radial velocities Of stars and
nebulae have led him to some interest
ing conclusions concerning the motions
that take place among the bodies con-
stituting the visible universe. He finds
that stars which the spectroscope
seems to prove are relatively old travel
at higher velocities than those which
are younger and that the formless
nebulae, Ike those in Orion, appear to
be nearly or quite motionless In re-
gard to the stars In explanation he
suggests that the rate Of motion de-
ponds upon the time during which the
condensation into stellar bodies has
been going on. When the matter is
widely scattered In minute particles,
solid or gaseous, the pressure of radia-
ton, acting from all sides, counteracts
the pull of gravitation, and the nebu-
lous cloud remains at rest But after
condensation the gravitational force
overcomes the radiation pressure, and
the condensed bodies begin to move,
and their velocity increases with age.

THERE WAS little surprise over the re-
suit Of the primary elections In New
Jersey, 1t being generally conceded that
former President Roosevelt would get the
delegates on the Republican side and
Governor Wilson did not have any opposi-
tion, lexcept In Essex county, where former
Senator Smith put up fight and showed
that he still has some influence, as he sue
ceeded In defeating the Wilson delegates.
II Speaker Clark had come into this state
and made canvass there is little doubt
that he would have secured delegates.
On the Republican side the managers of
President Taft and former President
Roosevelt are both claiming sufficient
YoteE to nominate their candidate. The
result In New Jersey has certainly had
great effect upon the matter and has
caused change of heart on the part of
some half-hesrted Taft men. The Re-
publican convention, which will meet on
the 18th Of this month, will be anything
but peaceful gathering and there will be
plenty of excitement. The Democratic
convention which will meet one week
later viii not be lacking In interest, but
there viii not be the hard feelings that
have been engendered on the Republican
aide. heresult of the unfortunate spectacle
presented by the accusations hurled at
each other by the opposing candidates of
that party. 1t is to be hoped that by the
ttme the delegates reach Chicago some
arrangement may have been affected
whereby the proceedings will be devoid of
all rancor and candidate will be chosen
who will carry the party to victory.

Sleep.

Investigation by scientists Of the
nature Of the sleep of persons in nor
NAL health shows that It varies ac-
cording to the daily diet and the differ
ent hours at which sleep is begun. AL
together the ideal hour for retiring is
10 O'Clock. The sleep Of person going
to bed regularly at approximately this
time gradually augments in intensity
for the space Of an hour 1t then sud
denly becomes very profound, reaching
its maximum intensity at about IL 80
o'clock. Within FIVE or six minutes
from this time it has been found that
the sleep begins to be less deep. In an
hour the sleeper is again in the same
condition of slumber as at about 11:15
From this time until after o'clock the
rest is steady and light From until
it augments, and then 1t consistently
diminishes until 1t ceases at the Gus
tomary time of rising
