Former Senator William NJ Bennett,

Patrolmen Deny
Police Union Has
Been Formed Here
Hylan Refuses to Receive
Attorney Who Announced
New Labor Body as Coun.
sci for 3. r. Il. Strikers

A canvass of half hundred patrol
men and detectives and the heads of
the various police associations brought
a general denial yesterday of the ex
istence of a polcemcn's labor union
here.
Louis Fridiger, counsel for the strk-
ing carmen of Brooklyn, who first an
nounced the formation of the new Or
ganizaton, nevertheless, stood by his
guns.
"Speaking as the attorney for these
men, he said Yesterday, Il con reiter
ate that the Policemen's Union of New
York is fact, despite :nnumerable
denials from other sources. OF course.

1t would be suicide for them. And

by giving out any names. You can he

formative stage and are a fourishins,
body. That's all can say for the
present"
Mayor Hylan refused yesterday 10
receive Fridiger. Mr.. Fridger was az
companied by two other labor men, all
three representing the striking =. r.
When an attendant at the Mayors
Office brought out word that he would
see Hugh Frayne, general repre- enta :
tive of the A. f. of L., and Patrick J 6.
Shea, of the executive board of the
Amalgamated Association Of Street
Railway Employees of America, who ac-
companied Nh. Fridiger, but not Fridi-
ger, Mr.. Shea and Mr. Frayne turned
to their companion and said:
If you say the word We'll not confer
with the Mayor without YOU"
Mr.. Fridiger replied that he would
prefer they see the Mayor, as he did
not want to do anything which might
delay a settlement of the strike.
When Mr.. Fridiger was asked if the
Mayors refusal to see him was due
to his announcement that the police
men were Organizing, a statement later
denied by the Mayor, Mr.. Fridge +
said:
You can. draw yoar own con-
clusion."
Asked about the Mayors denial that
the police were organizing, Nr. 0rldi-
ger said:
you will recall that Receiver Gar
rlson when asked if the B. R. r. EN-
ployes were about to strike said hat
the men would not strike. We said
they would. You know what har-

Dry Atmosphere Kills
''Shimmy,'' Dancers Say

Prohibition and the "shimmy" lust
cant get along together.
One point that will be impressed
upon the dancing masters. who will
flock to Hotel Astor from all parts of
the United States and Canada August
rs. is this:
You can't shake the shmmy when
you're sober"
Oscar Duryea, a New York teacher
of the nimble toed art. says:
Can you imagine any couple doing
the 'shimmy" without couple of cock
tails, not of the 2.75 brand -
Sometime early in the convention
the matter will be settled officially, and
thereafter it will be distinctly bad
form Tor any one to indulge in the
forbidden steps, if the word "steps
may be used in reference to the
"shimmy."
But placing their ban on the shimmv
will be but the beginning. not the end
of the agony of soul through which the
dancing masters must pass before they
have reestabished their domain upon
firm foundation. What is to take
the place of the shimmy? What, in
deed, can take its place?
Professor Duryea believes he has the
solution of this problem in the
"rocker," dance already the craze in
London. Not only is the professor con-
fdent the "rocker" can take the place
of the shimmy, but that it can also
take the place to some extent of that
which, while it fourished, gave the
shimmy life.

How Frogs Protect Eggs.

In the manner of disposing Of their
eggs many species of frog exhibit re.
markable peculiarities. One of the
most curious, tree frog, native of
Paraguay, makes its nest in a bush
overhanging a pond. The lower ends
of a number of leaves are drawn to-
gether and fixed in that position by
a number of empty egg capsules. The
eggs are also covered with a shield of
empty capsules to protect them from
the sun and air. When the eggs are

Fall Suits On
ailOred Lines

The 1919 autumn suit is strictly
tailored. It's lines have none of the
sOftness of recent seasons and often
the edges of the coat are bound in
braid, which makes it even more
severe, notes a prominent fashion
writer.
1t seems certain that the strictly
tailored effect with the three-quarter
length coat and a skirt with circular
fullness will remain with us during
the season.
Reminiscent of the time of Louis
XIV and Louis XVI with the "nipped-
in shoulder and semifitted waistline
are many of these jackets with coat
skirts that are full and flaring and
equipped with big pockets at the sides,
and though the skirts have more full
ness than the models of the past sea-
son they are still straight of line.
The lines of tie coat as we'll as the
one-piece dresses have the effect of
the redingote. The fullness, little
below the hips, is set in by cartridge

We dwelt with Colonel Roosevelt

What right have we in free Amerl-

We spoke of the characteristic
architecture of the pueblos, by many
centuries the oldest inhabited towns IN
America, whose fat-roofed, terraced
houses are not only in utter harmony
with natural surroundings, but cons1l-
t'sse, from a practical standpoint. the
most successful type of building for

In North Africa in Spain, In Asia

New and Vivid COlOringS

The smart woman of limited income
will pay little heed to the new and
rather vivid coiorings. She will quite
wisely choose one of the lovely
browns or blues or greens which are
offered, leaving the new Liberty reds
for her more fortunate sisters with a
larger wardrobe For the materials,
she will choose duvetyn-that Is, II
she can afford it-but, if she finds this
too extensive, then she will favor tine
velours or a soft velveteen, Polret
twill or heavy English serge.
The phrase ''unbelted, yet belted,
may be used in describing suit with
a coat which is straight and long to
the knees. 1t has flat back and
front, while circular ripping fullness
is held under narrow belts at the
waistline at either side. A narrow
rolled collar runs almost to the waist
line where the two front sections of
the coat meet and fasten with link
buttons of black bone. There are
pockets outlined with bands Of the
material but no trimming is used.
The SKIRT which is ever so slightly
Arizona state miner., 1919-11-14

circular, falls in ripples to becom-
ing length.
Especially created for the woman
who favOrs loose lines in spite of the
new semiitted effects is a lovely de-
sign that would be charming in duve-
tyn or velvet, materials to which
it is very well adapted. Most distinc-
tive are the lines of the coat. Though
back and front are fiat, there are
loose flowing sides that tuck in un-
der at the bottom. The narrow belts
of the material cOnfine the waist in
front, while a straight band of the
material forms the collar, crushing
softly around the neck. Long fitted
sleeves are finished with unusual
cuffs, loops of the material The skirt
is very simple with easy fullness.

"HOME" MEANS "LANDLoRD AND RENT"

The United States has fought ALI
her wars to preserve the home" and
yet probably 60 per cent of her people
are tenants. This was the text Sc
lected the other day by United States
Senator William M. Calder of New
York in an address before the New
York Real Estate associations conven-
tion urging the necessity of national
campaign for the creation of homes.
He said:
''The object of each of our wars
has been, in the last analysis. to pre-
serve the home. Yet we find that to
the majority of people in this country
home means little more than a dwell
ing for which they are paying rent
WHAT is worse in the situation is that
the percentage of these rent payers is
growing.
4In 1890 we were advised that 80
per cent of the people in America
lived under the rental system, in 1910
that the percentage had increased to
90, and probably the census of 1920 "

Puzzle over Musk,s Loss of Scent.

For many years now, the remark
has gone the rounds among flower
lovers that it is next to impossible to
get q sweet-scented musk. More than
one grumble at the nurserymen for
raising the larger f1owered and scent
less variety, but now it turns out that
the nurserymen are blameless in the
matter. The musk has deliberately lost
it's scent; that is the plain fact, and
nobody knows the wherefore of this
strange occurrence. The Field calls at
tention to the fact, and says that no
other case of the kind has been record
ed. 1t adds that old colonies of the
musk plant which were powerfully
fragrant have now become quite odor-
less. Kew, it appears, is as puzzled as
anyone over it.

Removing Warts From the Face.

One of the difficult disfguring
things to get rid of is the eruption
of many small warts on the face.
The British Medical Journal tells how
DIR. Charles Ind has succeeded In
eradicating them. He paints the warts
three times in one day with a satu-
rated solution of salicylic acid in al
cohol and the following morning he
cuts them off with a fiat sharp steel
instrument, beveled on one side only.
This is painless, but it leaves tiny
bleeding point at the site of the wart.
This he Immediately paints again with
the salicylic acid solution, which is
applied twice again the same day. On
the second morning the sites of the
warts have small brown scabs, which
are bathed once a day with pure al
cohol till they drop off, leaving a
healthy skin.

tions have changed. Such charming
blouses have been developed these
latter years that the simple shirt
waist-forerunner of them all-nOw
seems to be relegated to the row Of
discarded garments. Perhaps the
laundry problem has had something to
do with this. While many business
women prefer the tailored shirtwaist
it is now apt to be of soft plant
crepe or satin or silk requiring no
starch and the simplest laundry at
tention.
Well-dressed women everywhere rec
ognize the value of the blouse in the
exact shade of the coat suit, making
thus a perfect costume as rule suit
able for almost every occasion.
Smart Georgette Models.
This fall there are the smarteSt OF
little blouses of georgette crepe or
crepe de chine in all the fashionable
colors. Often blouse, say of navy
blue or brown georgette crepe, will
have a relieving note of beige or some
light harmoniZing tone and frequently
they are made over lining Of the
lighter tone material.
Arizona state miner., 1919-11-14

f1Ounces have been inset, which gave
the modish flare. This unusually smart
costume is topped by small black
draped tOque.
Still another is an exceedingly at
tractive frock of velvety finished
brown duvetyn. 1t has the new high
collar buttoned close up around the
neck and chin and the new faring
sleeves button trimmed to the elbow.
The bodice is made basque effect. The
skirt is rather wide and has large
pocket draperies at the sides. The
costume is accompanied by chic
dark brown velvet hat trimmed at the
edge with an antique gold cord.
The Dressy Blouse.
After the momentous question of
the fall suit has been settled the aver
age woman Immediately turns her at
tention to the blouse to accompany it.
In former years the white lingerie
waist was considered good form and
quite elaborate enough for ordinary
wear and most occasions. But cOndf-
