THE Junior Police Force of the City
OF New York is among the latest de.
velopments in city government. Elk
cellent results have already come from
the organization of these 300 or more
enthusiastic youngsters who are dill.
gently unfolding the law, maintaining
order and keeping cleaner than ever
before the streets of that section of
their city known as the Bowery.
The head Of this new auxiliary force,
who is Captain John +. Sweeney of
the regulars" says that bonnres have
been reduced in the district ninety
eight per cent, complaints of disord.
erly street gatherings have been cut
to less than half, street cleaning has
been lightened, fire escapes cleared,

This Is indeed a fine record. II sug.

MAY DAY.

ON THE first day of May in the old
fashioned country town, the children
used to expect a half holiday. 1t
was quite customary for the teacher
TO take the youngsters to walk, for
gathering of flowers, and observation
o. birds, trees, and vegetation.
The twentieth century youngster is
too sophisticated for such simple
JOYS. The boys are out on the back
lot playing ball and whooping like In
dams. The small girls are designing
new 1915 style gowns for their dolls,
while the big girls are having formal
teas.
In the old world May day was a
time OF popular merry making. For
u young woman to be chosen Queen
of the May, an election based mostly
on e beauty OF feature, was a great
CT triumph than anything that could
be bought with money. Light heart
ed jewellers gathered around the May
pole, and the lads and lassies footed
it on the village green.
Today in Europe, were it not for the
war, May day would bring the usual
Socialistic and trade union manifes-
tations. The spirit of festival seems
to have gone out of the day, which
has become an expression of discon-
tent and often of hostile class feeling.
In this country May day has no
longer any particular festival charac-
ter. In many cities it is the annual
moving day. House-keepers, discon-
tented with their surroundings, pack
their lares and penates on the moving
van, and sally forth in discomfort and
toll after more commodious mansions,
or at least apartments for the rent
OF which they can get trusted.
Thus the first day of May, once a
pastoral kind of an occasion, seems
to stand today mostly for unrest. AS
the sap rises in the trees at the spring
time. so some kind of human sap
seems to stir the heart, creating new
lonSiDgs for the untried and the unpos.
sessed. Perhaps the most thoroughly
sensible way to celebrate it, where
possible, is to quit work and 20 to the
bali game.

WHAT MAN OWES TO THE DOG.

IN HIS delightful essay on "Our
Friend, the Dog" Materlinck observ-
es: Man loves the dog, but how
much more ought he TO love it if he
considered, in the infiexible harmony
of the laws of nature, the sole excep-
ton, which is that owe of a being that
succeeds in piercing, in order to draw
closer to us, the partitions, every else
where impermeable, that separate the
species! We are alone, absolutely
alone, on this chance planet; and amid
all the forms of life that surround us.
