man. The mayor gave her no en-
enlargement. She did not need any.
e., The day when Mayor Graham was
to receive the rival female delega-
tions in the lady policeman matter
was trying one for the mayor. Helm
rich Glaub, who claimed to have
swung the eastern district for the
mayor, came in in the morning and
learned that the job of commissioner
of charities he had set his heart on
had been given to Mrs. Kate Hender-
son. What he said to the mayor took
three hours and all the coarser words
in the German English dictionary. He
left the mayor trembling with help
less anger, and returned in the after
noon to demand that his nephew. Will
liam Schwartz, be given the vacant
place on the police force.
He can't have it," declared the
mayor.

What is it?" asked Glaub.
Commissioner of streets and al

lice job can't go to your nephew. You
read the papers. don't you? You know
that these women have made it a
vital matter that l appoint one Of
them on the police force. don't you?"
Mrs. Mulligan dropped her cake of
soap into the pail of water with a
splash. She wiped her hands on her
apron and clambered heavily to her
feet. She stood before the mayor and
faced him.

thought that they were taking an
active part in politics unassisted by
any male. With the delegation. was
Miss Ellen Jane Jones. Mrs. Pethcod-
Williams candidate for the police
manship. 1t was a formidable delega-
ton. Mrs. Pethcod- Williams was for
midable even when unaccompanied
She was a large and tall woman. At
sight she suggested two things--that
she was the sort of woman that usu-
ally had her way and that to preserve
such an upright. military. hipless
bearing she must have wonderful
stays concealed under her. heavy
black gown. Miss Ellen Jane Jones
was hardly less noteworthy She was
an exceedingly plain woman with
iron-gray hair. brushed sharply back
from high forehead. She wore soft
felt hat. eyeglasses with a black
cord and common sense shoes.
1t was evident that she was a deep
student of sociological affairs. and
so she was. Her speciality was dance
halls, beer gardens and general re-
form for the working women. Mrs
Montgomery Pethcod- williams intro
duced each member Of her 'delega-
ton and then introduced Miss Ellen
Jane Jones. She was telling Mr.
Graham that Miss Jones was the only
possible candidate when Mrs. Anna

Mrs. Anna Cordelia Blimmims was
a small. slender woman, with gold
trimmed spectacles and a way Of rails
ing her chin when speaking. She was
gray-haired and wore silver-gray and
as Mrs. Pethcod-Williams was fierce
and militant. Looks, however. are de-
ceiving in political affairs. Mrs. Blim-
MINIS was more powerful than Mrs.
Pethcod- Williams. Mrs. Pethcod Will
liams was a general, leading her
pushed forward by q multitude Of
admirers. The one was the forceful
leader. the other was brain. Mrs.
Blimmims. having stopped before the
mayor. took q paper from her pocket

beyond doubt that a lady policeman

Candy was the lady for the job.

One U. S. Marriage in Ten Ends

Bulletin by Census Bureau Reveals Startling Facts of Martial

cur in the United States one ends in

ciusion either that there is something
very much the matter WITH tho insti-

Spoilt Marriages Increase.
QUITE as omlnous as the fact that i'm
1916 not less than I0.66 per cent OF
the marriages were dissolved is the
fact that the ratio Of divorce is IN
creasing steadily. For more than forty
years II has been advancing out OF
proportion 10 the population or the
number Of marriages In s290 di
yorces were slightly less than 6 per
cent Of the marriages. In 1900 they
were slightly less than per cent, in
1906 they were about 4 per cent.
The same thing has been noted in
Canada, and the war has no doubt re-

London. June 26.--"The duration OF
Professor De Valera's visit in America
depends wholly upon MFR. De Valera
himself
This somewhat cryptic answer to my
question as to how the British gov
eminent proposed to act toward the
Irish presidents program was made by
an official qualified to know the senti-
ment and the presidents OF the Brit
ish foreign office.
Though this official refused to allow
mention OF his name, I gathered from
his conversation that the British gov
eminent is not considering any request
for the deportation OF De Valera as
long as he does not follow the tactics
Of Mrs. Sheehy Skeffington and preach
what the British government consid-
ers dangerous sedition or an attempt
actively to enlist recruits for armed
