WASHINGTON POLICE
SHY At ATHLETICS
Physical Culture About as Popular
with Them as Case of Whooping
Cough in kindergarten.

Is swinging a policeman's billy good
exercise? Do the commanding attitudes,
principally the pose adopted by traffic
watchmen. reduce the flesh?
With the added exercise of patrolling a
beat. they seem to be all the athletic
work needed by Washington policemen.
at least, all they care for.
Athletics in the Washington police de-
partment are about as popular as a case
of whoopinG cough in a kindergarten.
Policemen feel like arresting the person
who suggests it, but control themselves,
glaring inadvertently at their questioner
In the meantime.
Up to two years ago members Of the
force competed for a pennant donated by
former District Commissioner John L.
White. The flag was awarded the pre-
parade honors. But the work was never
practiced with bubbling enthusiasm, in
fact, the interest became so negligible as
the years passed that it was discontinued.
The pennant now hangs in a dusty cor
ner of No. police station, unhonored
and unsought.
The Washington department is said to
be peculiar in that respect. Police of
other large cities Of the country 20 In for
athletics during nearly the whole twelve
months OF the year. In the spring their
activities are doubled. Heavy training Is
undergone for their summer Olympian
contests, the day for which is designated
as a holiday, when the police are giving
an outing and picnic at a popular resort.
Such departmental activities have de-
veloped athletic champions of the world.
notably John McGrath. of the New York
police force. hammer thrower.
But Washington policemen scornfulIy
declare that a policeman champion al an
athletic is not necessarily a champion as
a guardian of the law. in fact, the more
championship they are as gymnast SITS,
the less they arc worth as cops" they
say. Why that Is SO they were unable to
reasons.
Policemen here point out taht they get
enough athletic exercise in their own
way. Patrolling beat Is no child's play,
they declare. Nor Is getting down to
court, after probably five hours OF sleep.
and waiting there for several hours for
ones case to come up. an exercise which
could be compared to crocheting.
Horse and bicycle riding are good
physique developers. Tussling with an
incorrigible prisoner another. Besides
that. they have short drill work before
being assigned to their duties. In some
of the police stations the men 20 in for
wrestling. but this Is not general.
II the policemen themselves are arbiters
In the matter. there will be no more
athletics for this spring than during the
winter months, when there were none at
all. The new major and superintendent
Of police, Raymond Pullman, has made
no plans for such work. 1t Is understood.

BY MARGARET WADE.

The closing days of March. which. as
it happened were also the closing days
of Lent, presented more startling con-
trasts in dress than any previous week
Of the past winter. These incongruities
of toilet appeared along the streets of
the Capital. among the afternoon wor-
shippers of the fashionable st. John s
and in the holiday crowds at the moving
picture theaters in practically the same
proportion. Which shows, unfortunately,
that even women supposed to dress to
the occasion have not been living up to
the standard expected at the Capital.
One reason alleged for a discrepancy so
great as to be a noticeable feature Of
the city's life, is that at this season Of
the year the feminine throngs in WASH
ington are largely made up Of visitors
those from the North arriving in fur
coats, while the homeward travellers from
the South, or even short-term visitors
from that same section are in spring
attire In passing 1t may be mentioned
that the least attractive costumes are
those in which neither standard Is adj
hered to. The lady in the fur coat and
straw hat. who is at present the most
conspicuous example OF bad dressing has
as a rule discarded her home millinery
for something new and spring-like from
the Washington milliner. Unfortunately
the effect of this purchase is lost when
worn with furs or fur trimmed garments
Not until the individual woman OF mod
crate means learns to select her millinery
in close relation with her gowns will she
have a reputation for good dressing in
any way proportionate to the earned
dollars spent by the American public for
the spring attire of Its womankind.
The niuety-ninth degree of good dress
ing in this between season" has been
attained by at least two of Washineton's
smart matrons as shown by the tailored
suits and conservative hats worn by
Mrs. Montgomery Blair and Mrs. Ray
mond Rodgers, respectively. Mrs. Blair,
who was Miss Edith Draper. eldest
daughter Of the former Ambassador to
Rome, made a shopping tour in street
with one Of her small boys last week in a
cloth skirt and coat on very smart lines,
and. at the same time totally devoid Of
any trimming. Her hat was a combina-
ton of satin and straw; the top Of the
brim being black satin, the under brim
fine black Milan straw. About the top
of the crown ran wreath OF small.

Secretary Of the Navy, Is cheviot In
