Risks Some Women Run.

Women in good social and financial circumstances
whom the world accepts respectable but who ac-
eept the attentions OF strange in cafes, every
now and then read a terrible lesson in newspaper
account of tragedy near-tragedy in New
York or Chicago
In recent years there have been number of cases
in which women sometimes sightseers in great city
and sometimes residents have accepted as escorts
casually made acquaintance with the result that they
have been murdered or severely injured and their
jewelry and money stolen. Always the police and
newspapers are supplied with plausible details of the
origin and circumstances of the escapade adventure
leading to the attack and robbery for the purpose OF
protecting, so far as possible the victim and her
family from scandal. But nearly always the funda-
mental fact is that she is robbed by strange man
whose attentions she has accepted
Considering that in practically all the given
publicity the victim has been seriously injured, it is
safe TO assume that there times many
in which robbery is accomplished without violence,
that the public never hears OF. Quite likely this low
form OF crime has developed into fOurishing indus
try in big cities where women of means, well as
men, go to see the sights.
One thing is certain. More plying this
nefarious trade than are plying the poison needle"
on innocent Young girls and women, silly fiction
that was worked to death by the lurid maginatons of
the yellow press until science exposed it. Respect
able women who conduct themselves modestly and
stay where they belong are still safe from harm in
most places in the United States When they make
friends with strange men in public places and show
them money and Jewels they in grave danger.

Mr.. 0lney the Right Man.

The whole country will approve President Wilson'S
choice of Richard Olney to be of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, under the new currency law.
He is the very man of all others of the Democratic
party for the place Experienced in business finance
and the law, he is not affiliated in any way with great
money interests and suggestion of favoritism in
his selection is possible. His calm, ripe Judgment
free from any remnant, unwholesome influence from
career which has been spent in statecraft letters
and the law will be found invaluable in this exalted
position of the highest trust upon which depends in
such large measure the success of the new financial
system.
The fact that Mr.. Olney is seventy-eight in years
cannot be argued against the wisdom of his selection
He is vigorous active, and alert in body and mind,
and by these qualities are and should be meas
ured. Mr.. Olney declined the ambassadorship to
Great Britain the ground that his interests would
not permit him to leave the country. In accepting
the high office now rendered him-one which Presi-
dent Wilson has reasonably compared in importance
with place on the bench of the Supreme Court of
the United States-that contingency is not involved
while the salary of $4,000 is fairly in keeping with
the accompanying responsibility and dignity. 1t is
earnestly to be hoped that Mr.. Olney will esteem it
patriotic duty to respond to President Wilson's call
Concerning Paul Warburg, formerly connected with
the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. who it is
reported has already accepted the Presidents appoint
ment as a member of the Federal Reserve Board the
public will require enlightenment, but will be disposed
to trust President Wilson's judgment implicitly espe-
ciay in view of the high character of his choice for
governor.

The Potomac River in the vicinity of Chain
Bridge is as unsafe for navigation in and small

of the District authorities they should forbid such
boats going than a mile above the Aqueduct
Bridge. If they have not this power. they should at
least issue a public warning OF the danger Warning
signs should be erected the banks, and if
sary big red buoy should be anchored in mid
stream, that one could enter the danger zone,
without making deliberate choice of risking his life
1t is of course the duty of parents to warn their
children to avoid these danger spots and cooperation
the part OF boathouse keepers might prove effective
to some extent.
Every possible precauton should he adopted at
