Board to Consider
Women as Police
Office of Roundsman May Be AboI-
ished-Females Wanted as
Probation Officers.

To abolish the Office of Toundsman,
to put on women officers and to es-
tablish sub-stations are matters to
be taken up by the Police Board al
its meeting Tuesday evening.
Roundsman is a position similar TO
that of sergeant, but the pay is
smaller. 1t is the intention of some
members of the board to abolish this
office and make the six officers now
acting as roundsmen sergeants.
Four women officers will be added
to the force, either as regular plain
clothes officers, detectives are proba-
ton officers, probably the latter, and
in this the Chief heartily favors the
probation idea.

seph f Berry will preside. He is one
of the ''progressives" Of the church. A
former editor of the Epworth Herald,
he has stood out prominently in the
Episcopacy because Of his handling of
some of the recurring problems of
church administration.
For instance, he follows rule that
ministers shall not be kept in doubt
about their pastoral assignments for
the ensuing year. AS soon as an APP
pointment is agreed upol, he in
forms the minister it affects, instead of
causing him to wait until the assign
n,ents are read as the closing business
of a conference session. Bishop Berry
presided over the conference at
Smyrna six years ago.

ments affecting the biggest churches
are not looked for, and but three
changes in Wilmington pastorates are
expected The Rev. j. r. Richardson
will leave Goodman, the Rev. George
White Dawson will leave Harrison
Street and the Rev. Charles A Hill
will leave st. Paul's. J. W. Colona has
been invited TO st. Paurs. He has ac-
cepted an invitation to Georgetown,

thought he will be sent to St. Pauls

Of Iliff church. Salt Lake City. Utah,
and the Rev j. H. Mitchell, now at
Newport, will exchange pastorates.
Mr. Nichols is a member Of the New
England Southern Conference and will

ence by transfer AS Utah is not in
any conference, being but mission,
Mr. Mitchell will retain his member
ship in this conference.
