MAUvE WITH CHIFF
CALLING COSTUME THAT IS IN
HEIGHT OF FASHION.
Most Effective of the Combinations So
Popular This Season-Effective
Touches Give Distinction to
the Model Sketched,

Satins of subdued luster with fur to
give them the appearance Of weight
and warmth, and lace or chiffon to
soften the effect, are as satisfactory
for calling costumes as anything seen
In the winter collection, and the
sketch offers an effective suggestion.
In the original, two shades Of mauve
are used with chiffon in q deeper
shade than the charmeuse. The
charmeuse skirt is gathered slightly
at the wa st and then draped attrac.
lively Just above the knees in front by
means Of what is known as lifted
drapery." In the blouse the char.
meuse Is only used in five-inch band
running about the lower part Of the
white net foundation just over the
belt. This Is yelled by the overblouse
OF chiffon, which is simply made with
three-quarterlength kimono sleeves
and a roundabout neck filed In by the
net yoke Of the foundation.
The collar is finished with plated
ruffiing OF chiffon and a narrow cravat
OF ermine is knotted closely in front.
Bands OF ermine trim the sleeve ends,
and close row Of small steel ball but.
tons trims the left side Of the blouse.
A girdle OF black chiffon is crushed
about the waist, and the sash ends are
tied In bow at the hem Of the tunic
in back.
The tunic is gathered at the waist
and at the lower edge and given
heading Of itself as finish. Another

The Roosevelt Trip.

y The interesting summary of Colonel Roosevelt
rip through the heart of South America shows 1t 10
have been a thoroughly Rooseveltian achievement
The obstacles were many and grave. Canoes were
lost one of the native guides drowned another
was murdered, and progress was so slow in the
early part of the river travel, owing to frequent
rapids that the party cut down to half rations
Yet the expedition came through in good shape with
much collected material and newly discovered
river to its credit
The identity Of this river as large as the Rhone
or Hudson according to the colonel is still In some
doubt He seems to feel question of the original
ity Of the discovery. From the details which he
gives it is difficult to pass upon the facts the trbu-
aries of the River Madeira, itself tributary of the
Amazon are legion and the photographers have been
busy with them for years. There is nothing at all
unlikely in the idea that a river as large as the
Hudson has escaped earlier explorers Of this little
known region.
y If adventure doesn't come TO you, 60 out and ind
it, That has been the colonel's motto for good
many years and small wonder that he finds the
world corking place to live in

Police Reform for the Police.

1t is perfectly true Commissioner Woods told
the police at the meeting Of the Honor Legion that
no outside help should be needed to clear the de-
partment of things unworthy Of it. Such senti-
ment should and did, bring applause from the
auditors and should and probably did stir them to
fresh resolve to fight graft and crime for the honor
Of the force.
Yet just as hearty applause at police dinner not
so many months ago greeted one of the four In
spectors accused Of grating The police stood prac
caly as unit against Mayor Mitchers legislation to
give the Commissioner power TO dismiss without ap-
peal CRATER or an incompetent bluecoat although
such a law could not have hurt the honest and dill
gent and its absence inevitably must help the lazy
ard crooked The police complain bitterly of gen.
orally prevalent attitude Of distrust and suspicion
Of them and that attitude of the publics mind I'M
ouestionably is an injustice to the thousands Of de-
cent straight living men who wear the uniform.
Yet so long as those directly or indirectly aid
and abet the crookedness of the few-so long as
they stand for grafting-there can be no change
in the pubcs attitude The police themselves could
clean their own house, as Commissioner Woods tells
them 1t is their right their obligation, to do It.,
and only when they do it will the job be toerably
well done But lot more energy must be given to
it than the impulse to applaud the vocing Of the
thought.

THE SINGLE TAX IN CANADA
Il Has Gained Ground in the Western
Provinces.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In all the four great Western
provinces OF Canada-Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan. Alberta and British Columbia
single tax has been in various degrees
adopted for municipal and provincial rev.
enues. In the province Of Alberta the
government has made it compulsory on
all municipalities and is also taking a
small tax in land values for provincial
purposes One half OF this provincial tax
is RENTED on land that Is cultivated. So
far Alberta has carried the idea furthest.
but i'm British Columbia and Saskatche-
wan, where they have local option in the
matter OF taxation. the single tax is al
most universal. and the tendency is 10
follow the example OF Alberta by adding
a provincial tax on land values. The OBJ
ject is TO encourage improvements, on
which there is no tax. and to discourage
the holding Of land out OF use by specu-
lators by increasing the tax on il.
This system began TO make way about
Ave years ago, and there has been a
steady increase OF the application OF the
idea. In TO place where it has been tried
have they gone back 10 the old system
An idea OF public opinion on the matter
may be gained by the following items:
On March - last at Calgary. Alberta
was held the annual convention OF the
municipalities OF Alberta. In an address
before the convention the Hon. Charles
Stewart. Minister OF Public Works. de-
clared THE single tax a complete sue
cess" A few weeks earlier the Premier
of the province. Mr. Sifton. in an inter
view at Ottawa, said that taxation OF
land values as the only medium of rails
ing taxes is proving more successful In
Alberta than those with the most sangu.
line hopes had expected" At the annual
convention OF the United Farmers OF AL

In Memory Of Those Who Fell at Vera
Cruz.

There is reported TO be an official desire in Wash
ington TO minimize the ceremonies here next Monday
in honor of the seventeen sailors and marines who
fell at Vera Cruz There having been no war, the
incident is a small one, 1t is implied. Let 1t be
forgotten.
Fortunately, this city has acted promptly to DO
what it could to reject this idea And 1t is now con-
sidered likely that the President and the Secretary
of the Navy will both be present to express their
appreciation Of these This is right and proper
1t is the contention OF administration that these
men died in the pacific occupation OF custom
house-doing police duty, not in battle History
and the American people will scarcely uphold this
fine distinction.
In any event, the courage OF the men who faced
the snipers Of Vera Cruz speaks for itself. small
engagement in long record Of greater warfare 1t
is Of piece with the stanch fighting spirit of our
nation. The men who died I'm 1t deserve and VIII
receive the tribute Of grateful nations honor

A Childr S Clinic for Delinquents.

The president and managers of the Brooklyn Dis
ciplinary Training School for Boys, reporting the
other day to Mayor Mitchell and the Board Of ESti-
mate that it is undesirable to continue the school in
its present buildings recommended the establishment
of chidrens clinic and detention home TO take its
place. 1t is an important subject which is thus
opened This training school is the only city institu
ton which cares for delinquent boys-that is, for
boys who need discipline but not yet criminals
1t is the only institution to which short term
mtments, favored by the judges of the chdren's
courts. may be made Its equipment has been con-
demned by the Board of Health, the State Board OF
Charities, the Fire Department and grand jures
so it is imperative that prompt action be taken on
the matter.
Advocacy of the proposed childrens clinic is
based on two grounds-the desrabty Of an insti
tuition school to which short term commitments
may be made and the necessity for an institution
for study Of all children who come before the au-
thorites before their cases are disposed of. Miss
Davis, Commissioner Of Correction. who is of
the board Of managers Of the training school, be-
lieves in the long or indetermnate commitment for
denquents, but is in favor Of the clinic and deten
ton home and its feature Of short terms for those
boys who need something which their home disci-
pline hasn't given them, but not too much of it.
The judges of the chldrens courts all in favor
Of this short term for the boy who is unruly but
not yet vicious. The necessity for some plan OF
study of delinquents-not hasty sizing up" OF
in court, but careful observation and scientific in
vestgation-has long been recognized by the judges
and all who have studied the work OF the childrens
courts. Chicago has its psychopathic institute for
such cases; Minneapolis has big farm and cottage

that the percentage is only 50 per cent

posed to the cause.
Will the tired worker, who only wants
10 vote once to obtain more reasonable
hours OF work tell US which party she
would vote for to insure that desirable
result? A former Governor OF Colorado
has said that in his state there has been
no change in Industrial conditions De-
cause women voted-but they are forced
to use the same means that men have,
trades unions and the like. | would re-
mind her that strong influences are at
work in New York TO better conditions
as. for instance, the Consumers League
which has brought about many changes
already in making a working woman's
lot easier.
We have TO face the fact that II
states where women do not vote. as. foi
