"llE women police reserves are here
Il $500 strong, an efficient, well
trained body. Every precinct in Greater
New York has its quota quietly at work.
The organization is only little over
two months old. Its growth has been
rapid. The ranks are filed with women
from all walks of life. speaking all Ian
guages and of undoubted loyalty. Com
missioner Enright and Special Deputy
Commissioner Rodman Wanamaker have
great faith in the ability of women to do
such work, and it is due to their cncour-
agemcnt that the ranks have filed so rap
idly.
The members Of the womcn's police re-
serve are placed on war footing, under
going training TO fit them for all possible
emergencies. The average citizen is barely
aware of their existence.
There is always a deal more in the
policing of a city than the duties Of
roundsman, more than wearing uniform,
and at the present time there are many
duties to be performed that are not an
open book to the public. Much Of this is
being well handled by the women.
Special Deputy Commissioner Wanna
makers assistant is Police Inspector John
+. Dwyer, who is every hour in close touch
with the activities of the women's police
reserve. Hc spoke of their work:
Il cannot praise these women too
highly. The stage of experiment with
them is rapidly passing, and we recognize
that there arc many lines in which women
are as capable if not more SO than the
men. Commissioner Wanamaker was much
impressed by the work of the 63l women
members of the London police force who
are on duty in that city and at the ammu-
milton factories. We have not yet reached
the point where such work need be done
by the women, but we have much TO keep
them busy
Two Distinct Branches in Force.
"There are two distinct bodies con-
nected with the women police and it is
well not to confuse them. The larger body,
of which the public has heard the most, is
the Women's Police Reserve. There are
now 1850 enlisted. The work is entirely
voluntary and extends to many branches.
"The other class is the Police Women's
Training Corps, numbering about 200
members. These women are drilled at
headquarters and at the Thirteenth ltegi-
mcnt Armory in Brooklyn. They are
training to take civil service examinations
for such positions as matrons, police
women, probation officers and social in
vestigators. These are also volunteers
during their training and they are per-
forming various duties in their precincts
At the armory in Brooklyn over 100 Of
these women are being drilled by Police
Lieut.. Charles F.. Schofeld and are receiv-
ing lectures and instructions from Lieut..
Philip W. Auer on laws and ordinances.
They are in age from Is to 80.
Just what the work of the Women Po-
lice Reserves is Inspector Dryer pro-
ceeded to explain.
"In every precinct there are women
drilling and working earnestly. 1t is not
our plan to have them do regular patrol
duty That is left to the men, but We
shall have woman on duty'in every block
in the city before long.

Color and Horse Character.

An old cavalry officer says that one
may Judge the constitution and char
acter Of horse from its color. Bright
chestnuts and light bays are high spir-
tied, but nervous and delicate. Dark
chestnuts and glossy blacks are hardy
and good tempered. Rich bays have
great spirit, but are teachable. Dark
and iron grays are hardy and sound,
while light grays are the opposite.
Roans, either strawberry or blue, are
the hardest and best working Of all,
even tempered, easiest to train. taking
kindly to everything. Rusty blacks are
distinguished for their pig-headedness.

Joseph s. Mccoy, statistical expert

Joseph s. Mccoy, statistical expert
connected with the treasury depart
ment, is by education and training an
expert mathematician. But much OF
the most valuable work he accom-
plishes for the government Is less due
to his mathematical knowledge than
to his rare ability in utilizing the SIM
Pile, elemental, commonplace facts that
everybody knows.
One of his most important duties
Is to tell the revenue committees Of
congress how much money may be de-
rived from any proposed taxation. In
this work Of forecasting Mccoy has
done wonderful things. For example,
he estimated In 1918 that the income
tax from corporations for the year
ended June 30, 1915, would be about
$50, OO0, 900. He came within about $144,-
