WORK OF WOMEN'S
BUREAU RELATED
Head of Delinquent Branch of
Police Department Tells
It's Value.

The development and work of the
woman's bureau OF the Police Depart
ment was outlined last night by Mrs.
Nina c. Van Wrinkle, head Of the
bureau, at the weekly meeting of the
Monday Evening Club, held in the
assembly hall OF the Cosmos Club.
The establishment of a woman's
bureau, Mrs. Van Wrinkle said, has won
for the Commissioners and the chief
Of police the respect and approval not
only Of the country's leading social
workers butalso OF business meh, the
clergy, and administrative officers in
police departments in other cities.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle explained that
women police in this country were
not new, as they had demonstrated
the value OF their work over n period
Of many years.
THE difference ;'etween tho work
in the District and that of other cities
lies in the fact that separate unit
in the police department, known as
the women's bureau, directed by a
woman, gives its entire attention 10
cases in which girls and women are
involved, while police women in most
other cities do so-called hackwork,
they are detailed by a male officer
each day to take care of fractions OF
cases or to look after such cases as
he selects" Mrs. Van Wrinkle said.
Major Raymond w. Pullman. super
intendent OF police, declared that too
much could not be said to the credit
Of the public spirited women who
with Mrs. Van Wrinkle, have handled
most efficiently hundreds of cases in
the interest of girls and children who
have been so unfortunate as to have
been arrested or to have been other
wise brought to the attention of the
police department.

Forcing Plants by Light.

To force the growth of plants by
the use of artificial light Is not new
idea, but the system hitherto has been
too expensive in proportion to obtain:
able results.
Recently a man engaged In horticul'
ture discovered an efficacious method
of applying light for this purpose. Ar.
ranging in winter quarters his plants
as he wished them to grow, he sup
plies>a lamp with mercury yapor for
fuel and the seeds germinate in less
than half the ordinary time, while the
vigor and intensity Of the color OF the
flowers is superior to that Of the prod
uct grown naturally.
Another curious phenomenon no
ticed in connection with this action OF
light is an infinite multiplication OF
the downy substance commonly founc
ON stems. Those grown in shadow
have the stems relatively bare. Very
good practical results have been OBJ
tanned by this system.

centenary of W. r. Foster. the states
man, will also be celebrated this year.
Few greater authorities on education
than this gifted Son-in-law of the great
Doctor Arnold of Rugby ever breathed.
Among other worthies whose names
must also be mentioned In this con-
rection is that Of John Campbell

honor to the memory of another noted
individual whose centenary also falls
this .year-a man worthy of happier
fate-Donald Cargill, the great COW

for daring to excommunicate the king,
was executed at the Old Market
Cross, Edinburgh. Neither must we

Hot Blast of Volcanoes.

Writing in the Monthly Weather
Review George N. Cole sets forth de-
tailed arguments to prove that the
hot blast which swept over the city
of st. Pierre during the eruption OF
Mont Pelee, as well as similar blasts
in connection with the eruption OF
vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii and
Herculaneum, the eruption of Taal
Sakurajima, ETC., derived its heat from
the sudden compression Of the air sur
rounding the volcano. and not from;
conditions in the volcano itself. In
other words, it was not, according tc
this hypothesis, an outpouring of hot
crater gases that caused the destruc'
ton, but the dynamic heating of the
air attending the propagation Of the
explosion wave.

and Democrats making counte,
charges OF responsibility for delay in
payment of the family allowances.

Representative Mann charged that
President Wilson>was responsible en-
tirely for delay in the appropriations
and the hardships of soldiers, fami
lies due to failure to receive their
May / checks. He added that the
president had neglected or refused to
call congress sooner because of fea1
that the league of nations would be

ed that the senate Republicans fill
buster, which held up the war risk
funds, and not the president, was re-
sponsible. The speakers were ap'
plauded according to their partisan

to questions, that 80 far as he knew
the resignation Of former Director

REED, OF MISSOURI, DECLARES
DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT TO
BE LARGELY PARTISAN.
REPEATED OBJECTIONS MADE
Senator Knox NaiveIy Suggests That
!. Senators First Read the Measure
Before Discussing 1t.

Washington.-The league Of nations
was debated in the senate again with
an increasing show of bitterness.
: Senator Reed, Democrat, Of Mis-
souri,, attacked the proposal in such
vigorous terms that he aroused repeat
ed objections from senators support
ing it and developed a running debate
colored by dramatic accusations and
heated retorts. The Missouri senator
declared the league would place the
destinies of the white race in the
hands Of ignorant and superstitious
nations of black and yellow popula-
ton, and charged that many Demo
Gratis were supporting it for partisan
reasons.
In frequent interruptions Of the Mis-
souri, senator's speech, Senator Hitch
cock, of Nebraska, ranking Democrat
of the foreign relations committee, In
sisted that the premises for these
charges were false and that the infer
ences drawn were unfair and danger
.ous. He. drew in turn. a reply from
Senator Knox. Republican, OF Penn
sylvania, who suggested that support
ers Of the league covenant should
read it before they discussed it.
The measure which brought the
league issue before the senate was the
resolution Of Senator Johnson, Repub-
lican, of California, requesting from
the State Department the full text OF
the peace treaty. There was no at
tempt to reach vote on the resolu-
ton, and the measure went over again
as unfinished business to come up
when the senate reconvenes.
Without speaking directly on the
johnson resolution, Senator Reed
made a general attack upon the league
covenant itself as a proposal to hand
over control Of the white race and
the civilized world to an assembly OF
nations where majority always could
be brought together on any race aues'
ton in opposition to white supremacy
lie declared support OF the league
plan never could be explained at home
by senators from the south, with IT'S
negro problem, or from the west with
ihs Chinese and Japanese problems
