Western Women a. Polio. Officers.
From The Survey.

A owe and interesting indication of the
progress women are making toward active
citizenship and public service was fur
nished recently by the first conferences
of women police officers held In Portland,
ore. The meeting drew attendance only
from the Pacific coast, but thus served
the better to point out I'm part OF
the country women police officers arc
taken for granted.
But not In the extreme west alone ara
women police officers TO he found, how
ever. A year ago the movement reached
Minneapolis, where as yet only one has
been appointed. A month ago, George
Creel. commissioner OF police Of Denver.
appointed as a member of the detective
bureau, Josephine Roche, who will be in
trusted with the execution of the new
dance hall ordinance and will aid in tho
fight against the social evil. Still more
significant OF the growth OF the move
ment. however, is the fact that there are
three police women In Baltimore and 0uo

them 'matrons to the police force to
distinguish them from station house

with Baltimore federated charities. WAS
the first to be appointed. Two months
later Elizabeth F'aber. a Swiss who speaks
fiuently English. French, German and
Italian. and Margaret Eagleton, also con-
nscted with the federated charities. were
named. Their work is varied. Minors OF
both sexes are looked after: moving pic
ture parlors are watched: balls and dane
ing classes are snpervised: prostitutes
who are reported As entering a house Of
III fame for the first time are visited.
The Philadelphia director OF public safe
t4ty. after listening to the OF
Alice Stebbins Wells. of the Los Angeles
police force. announced that he would re-
quest at once the appropriations neces-
sary to employ women detectives. Mrs.
Wells is visiting various parts OF tho
country to widen her acquaintance with
police methods and conditions elsewhere.
and incidentally she is securing publicity
for arguments for putting women in uni
forms.

BRITAIN AROUSED TO
WARM ADMIRATION BY
ADDRESS OF WILSON
London Newspapers Express
Doubt, However, That He
Can Realize Hopes.

London. Special.-While paying .
tribute Of admiration to the earnest
and lofty tone of President Wilson'S in
augural address. the London morning
papers express doubt he will succeed
in t~ranslating it into practical politics.

President Wilson has picked the
string OF pure idealism whose sound

c%ountrymen. But il congress IL to join

ments In the nation itself rather than

however, his presidential term Is GER
tain to be n remarkable and vivid
period in the modern development OF
the United States"
Must Prove Ability.
The Morning Post says:
1t remains to be seen whether
President Wilson is n great statesman.
But at least il may be said hat his
address has st~atesmanlike qualities.
It's thesis fs not less remarkable be-
cause not pugnacious. 1t strikes n new
note i'm American politics of what over
here We call social reform"
The Graphic says:
Every thoughtful man will wish the
president good luck. Echoes of his
noble address will bring to the old
world of ours i'm it's mad pursuit of
international Observation-Disclosures and
bloated schemes and military holo-
causts Il welcome reminder of better

Some Of His Difficulties.
The Daily News says:

ideal and like II brave and upright man
has delivered himself into the hands OF
his judges by giving them a measure
by which to test his loyalty to his cause
and his fitness to undertake It,"

what ii may signify.

dents address conveys II somewhat too
black impression Of modern American
life and conditions.

the pAp.r. and makes nc specific pro-
posals. But one fact appears clearly,
that the era OF free competition In
ended in America and the day OF gov

Referring to- the difficult task before
President Wilson. the Mail expresses
the fear that foreign complications,
such as the Mexican situations ma
hinder internal reform.

Ju-Ju Magic.

From the Wide World Magazine.
Early in 1911 a deputation from one Of
the larger towns OF West Africa brought
two prisoners, father and son, before
the commissioner at Oban. They were
accused of having, in crocodile form,
killed two women while the latter were
crossing the river. AS they refused t.
swear their innocence on the dominant
ju-ju of the town. they were brought be
fore the white man." who naturally de-
cided that there was no case against
them. The deputation, however, had
not finished with the matter. On re-
turning home another ju-ju was in
voked, with the result that the son con-
fessed that both he and his father were
guilty, and that they had killed and
eaten seven other men and women.
Strangely enough, people accused of
this uncanny power nearly always ac-
knowledge their guilt, even when fully
aware that such confession will probably
cost them their lives. Awo Ita, an old
woman Of Oban, was suspected Of being
"a snake SOUL" and of sending out her
familiar every night to lick a wound
on her husbands ankle while he slept.
and so prevent it from healing. Tie
chiefs of the Egbo society summoned her
heore their dreaded tribunal, and she was
condemned to death.

duced by the committee at tomorrow's
session.
The important developments OF the In
quIry into the wallingford wreck by the
Interstate Commerce Commission in its
first hearing this forenoon were as fol-
lows:
Charles Henry Murray, fagman Of
the wrecked Bar Harbor express. admit
ted that he had never qualified as
fagman on the New Haven; that he had
never passed a fisgman's examination,
and that he had never received. special
instructions in the duties OF a hagman.
Conductor Brace Adams. of the Bar
Harbor express, testified that the White
Mountain express drew up behind his
train at Wilson and was tagged, and
that because of this he knew that the
White Mountain express must be fol-
lowing closely behind when the fatal
stop was made at Millers Crossing.
Several witnesses said that it was
customary for engineers in foggy
weather to drift" past banjo signals of
danger, sometimes almost by a train
length, and 1t was impossible to run at
more than ten or fifteen miles an hour
and not do this. Flagman Murray con-
tradicted fatty the assertion Of Con-
ductor Adams that he Murray had
tagged and brought to stop at Wilson
the first section Of the White Mountain
express.
Flagman Murray testified that he had
not had time to go out of sight of his
train at the Miller's Crossing stop be-
fore he was recalled by the whistle OF
his engineer.
Several witnesses testified that objects
could not be seen more than 900 feet at

Judges were the only sober people in the

saying is also current, judges were GER

judge was once compelled to abstain

TREE PLANTING IN NORWAY.
Plan Is to Replace Forests ns They
Were Centuries Ago.

The coast land of Western Norway is
almost devoid of forests. except where
protection is afforded from the sea
winds The lbuIk Of the forests. consist
ing Of pine. birch, and spruce, are found
further in the interior at the heads of
the fiordS and in the valleys.
The Bergen Tree Planting Society was
founded in 1900 to rehabilitate the rapidly
dwindling forests and maintain additions
made from time to time with the soCie-
tvs slender means. The society has un-
dertaken a mOnstrous task, one that viii
require many years and large expendi-
lures Of money and labor. as it proposes
to cover the mountain sides and the un-
ullahle areas of Western Norway with
forests. as they were centuries ago.
Since the society started, thirteen years
ago, 1866, 600 young trees have been pro-
duCed, of which more than 26OOO,OO0 were
planted on 1000 acres within the bor-
ders of the two Bergenhus counties. The
annual report shows that there are now
IA tree-planting societies in these coun-
ties, which last year planted 2,y76O9O
trees.

Ever see a moon rainbow?
Sure. Had one up here last night and
you didn't have to be out so very late in
order to see it. AS it appeared at 1915
o'clock, there weren't many up to get a
glimpse of it, but Mr. II. r. Frisbie, OF
Gnionville church member and citizen
with an Ananiasiacal Affections and a
meteorologist OF standing, says he saw
it and testifies as follows, to wit:
About 1890 Sunday evening heavy
black clouds rolled up from the south
west, followed by vivid flashes of lghtn-
ing, heavy thunder ana downpour OF
rain. The shower lasted but a few min
utes and the clouds passed overhead very
rapidly, as every one who saw the storm
will remember.
THE moon broke through the clouds
about I0:45 and Immediately perfect
rainbow appeared in the northeast, bril-
liant and conspicuous against the heavy
background OF storm clouds. There were
no positive colors noticea ble-only won
derful band of light, curving in an arc
from the horizon upward and back again
and lasting distinctly about two min
