QUEEN FASHION
EDICT IS DEFIED

LONDON, June 1S.-The same RI
valry Of costume which marked the
opening day Of the fashionable Ascot
race meeting was apparent to-day on
even a grander scale. In spite of the
word which had gone forth from
Queen Mary that she would look with
disapproval upon freakish costumes
in the royal pavilion, many Of the
smart set inner court circles defied
the edict
Many women had their hair pow
dered white and wore big patches of
cOurtplaster after the fashion of the
days of Charles H. The Partisan cos
tunes included skirts slashed unusu
ally high and brilliantly decorated
hosiery. Another new style is the
crazy quilt" frock, which consists
of as many ColOrs as Joseph's coat.
The Cubist sunshade also made its
appearance. It is a decided shock to
the eye. Ostrich plumes are coming
into their own again, according to
the fashionable, although it is doubt
full if they will ever supplant flowers
as hat trimmings in Queen Mary's
estimation.
Following the fashion set at Chan
lilly, where women appeared with ca
naries in gold cages. women took pets
Of all kinds to the race meeting One
dowager carried a parrot upon her
arm. To prevent its flight it was
fastened TO her waist with a gold
chain. Angora cats and other pets
also were seen.

CHIEF BEAVERS
DICT0GRAP HE'D
Admits He Was "Caught" at the
Convention in Washington,
but Fears Nothing.

Chief Of Police James L. Beavers
was photographed last week in
Washington while attending the an
nuaI convention of the International
Association Of Police Chiefs.
The Chief smilingly admitted it
Wednesday. He declared that he
didn't mind it a bit-instead, he said,
he enjoyed It. Although the dicto-
graph notes have not been tran
scribed and sworn to. the Chief says
he has nothing to fear. He's satisfied,
too. the notes won't be padded. for
the ethereal waves that pounded
against the delicate little instrument
carried nothing stronger than a big
boost for Atlanta.
1t all came about when Chief Beav-
ers made a personal test of the dicto-
graph, which was on exhibition in the
police convention hall.
The Chief tested the instrument
thoroughly-he was photographed
himself, after which he caught"
someone else. Naturally, the Chief
was much interested in the machine,
and he has nothing but words of
praise for it. He said it operated per-
fectly, and added that 1T is certain
~ genuine"
As to whether he will install a die
tograph in the police station, the
Chief said such an instrument would
be beneficial in certain cases, but
made no definite statement The po-
lice chiefs association Endorsed the
photograph.

men shall be paid under the militia

The case arose when the auditor OF

at which fortyfou officers and men
representing six companies were
present was not an encampment rec%
ognized by the war department. He
cited regulations of the secretary OF
