 POLICE CHANGES

Somebody on the police force will get "court martialled' if Commits Sioner John c. Stanley hears any thing in the way of comment on ap- pointment and transfers in the de- partment made by the board of which he is head.
 With using exactly that phrase ology, Commissioner Stanley last night issued a fstatemen on the news paper articles of yesterday to the eff feet that the Benedetti appointment as censor had caused dissatisfaction in the department.
 Somebody will be minus a job for failure to obey rules and maintain discipline" Is the u1timatum of the commissioner. He added further that changes in the department would be frequent and for the pur pose of doing away with the lone man" scheme in vogue in many places. All officers will be required to be familiar with every branch of the service and this will be accom- plished by assignments being often changed.

London.-Taking tremendous risks,
the British air force camera men
played to perfection In the war the
part of the spy in the enemy's camp.
A month or so after u first very
lttenuated' and ill-equipped flying
squadron had gone over to France
with the "Old Contemptlbles," an OBJ
server flying n sunny day over the
Enemy lines took with him a much
cherished pocket camera and exposed
yome films over the enemy's ground be-
1eath him.
He wanted them only to send home
10 his people as souvenirs. When they
we're developed he found they formed
an excellent pictorial map Of the
Boche front lines.
Then 1t was that Lieutenant Colonel
4ioore-Brabazon, the father" and or
ganlzer of the Photographic section Of
The Royal Air force, realized the enor-
nous possibilities of air photographs
as an aid to the intelligence staff.
He began TO agitate for permission
to carry on the work Of photographing
the German activities from the air.
The early experiments turning out to
be of frst-rate value. Colonel Moore
Brabazon was sent home to start or

WASPS SWAYED BY EMOTION
Prove That They Have Qualities
Akin to Human Beings.

A book, WASP Studies Afeld," by
Phil and Nellie Rau princeton Uni
versity Press) maintains, giving in
stances, that insects-wasps, to be ex-
act-feel and display emotions.
The evidences are plausible. A
wasp, after regaining her spider fol-
lowing a long search, pounced on 1t
with unmistakable viciOusness. When
later some meddlesome ants ap-
preached her burrow she kicked at
them angrily and curled her sting
mcnacingly.
Another species certainly displayed
anger when a spider she was pursu-
ing made n leap and escaped. She
grew frantic; she became so excited
over her discontinue that she acted
madly, walking, leaping and running
about the ground in a frenzy till she
tumbled into a mole's hole.
Still another wasp, examining bro
ken ground In search for her prey
acted calmly till she arrived at q Ger.
tain pile of loose earth. Her demean-
or instantly changed as she "struck
pay dirt" 'She became greatly ex.
cited, nervous and quivering with
eagerness."

SCOUTS RUN AN AMBULANCE.

The boy scouts OF Richmond during
the influenza epidemic performed a
great service. The scouts voluntarily
secured. equipped and manned an am
bulance.
This ambulance carried more than
rs patients to the emergency hospital
nj the high school. The scouts took
every %precaution. They wore masks
and bathed their hands and faces in
bichlOrlde solution.
As many as eight patients were
brought from n home, each one care
fully placed upon the stretcher by
their trimmed hands, borne to the ann
bulance and taken out with skill not
excelled by veteran ambulance drivers.
This ambulance was on duty night
and day. At times II was necessary to
carry as many as FIVE patients at one
time.

AS TO MEN AND HUSBANDS
Subtle Distinction Between
the Two Species.

Immediately after the wedding cere,
mony men become dull and uninterest-
ing and turn into husbands, says a
writer in Judge. Husbands are all
just alike and can be sorted out of any
social gathering by the same set ex-
preston about the eyes and mouth.
1t is more trouble to teach a hus-
band to fetch and carry than a fox
terrier puppy, and as a rule the puppy
acts much better when there is com-
pany around. Husbands wait until
some Sunday morning when you have
distinguished guests with you for the
week end. They burrow in the back
of the closet and pull things off the
high shelves and go through the rag
bag. Then they appear at the break
fast table in the coat of one suit, the
%rousers of another and a fancy vest,
with an inch-wide tie tied in a fourth
hand as a finish.
And when you advertise your hor-
ror in a frantic effort to convince the
visitors hat he is suffering from tenn
porary alteration any and every hus-
Danu VIII assume an ulT VI DeNllueEeC
innocence and say:
"Why, what's the matter with thisi
It's just what l wear every Sunday
morning when there's no one here"
Husbands always keep the Sunday
papers on the floor. No man ever does
this until he Is married. His mother
will not let him.
Husbands read to you the printed
recipes they find on the woman's page
of the paper. They get enthusiastic
about some dish they have always de-
clared they would rather die thar eat
and say:
"Now, there's an idea for you. Why
can't we ever have something like
that?"
Women acquire a husband for much
the same reason that a man gets a
cane. They are a fearful bother, but
n presents a better appearance with
one In hand.

Movement to Draw English
Speaking Peoples Together.
First Branch Of Union to BE Estab
Iished In America ls In
Philadelphia.

Washlngton.-It is the general feel
ing that the foundation on which the
proposed League of Nations must be
built Is a complete understanding and
friendly cooperation between the two
great English-speaking peoples; that
on the Americans and the British will
fall largely the task Of making the
world safe for democracy. Realizing
this, a group of Americans and Brit
lshers have started a movement to
draw the English-speaking peoples Of
the world closer together in the bond
Of comradeship and have organized
the English Speaking Union.
The aim of the union Is, briefly, TO
make the Engilsh-speaking peoples Of
the world better known to each other,
whether they be Americans, Austria
lians. Canadians, New Zealanders,
South Africans, Observation-Disclosures or
the inhabitants Of the British isles
and their dependencies. IT does not
aim at formal alliances, nor Is II con
cerned with the relationship Of govern
ments It is solely and simply a good
fellowship movement among the peo-
pie "who speak the tongue that Shake
speare spake."
The aim Of the promoters, American
and British, Is that no citizen Of the
Engllsh-speaking world should ever
feel lonely again after the war, that no
American visiting the old country
should ever want "A friend, and that no
Brltlsher should ever want one In the
great republic. They plan TO make
these peoples better known to each
other In various ways-by the inter
change OF visits, by correspondence, by
the printed word, by lectures, by an

SCOUTS AS ..NUT PATRIOTS"

Boy Scouts. OF America)

The hoy Is coming into his own.
Every human boy always knew deep
within his heart that he was the mt
ural keeper of the peace, the very
present help in time OF trouble, but
the ditficIlty lay in convincing his eld-
ers.
The boy scout movement was his
first great opportunity for demonstra-
tion, and he seized It, Under It's be-
neficent rays his natural inclination
and operations emerged from the
black shadow OF paternal d~lsapproval
or lack of interest and assumed their
deserved place.
Swimming. woodcraft and camping
became dignlfed professions, In the
pursuit of which the boy himself was
made strong and thereby fitted to de-
fend the weak.
His value as n part of civic life
next became apparent, and he distrib-
uted important literature, helped care
for the crowds at parndes and public
meetings, learned 20 observe city laws
and traffic regulations and to encour-
age their observance in others.
Having borne himself worthily In
all these matters, behold his Just re-
ward No more did the boy need to
ask fearfully IL he might go nuttlng,
His country called him, he must go.
Gathering nuts for gas masks was rec
ognized by the highest authorities as
an essential Industry. But the boy
knew II all the time.
