Solved by Arrests
Fire ofI4 Questions
Ignored by Enright

Five of the fourteen questions
concerning his administration
which The Tribune challenged
Commissioner Enright to answer
were ignored in the reply of the
Police Department head yester-
day. These questions were:
Why were Inspector Mcdonald
Captain Costigan and other lead
ers in the vice-crusade trans
ferred?
Who are the newspaper men in
league with the underworld" to
which the Commissioner has re-
ferred?
What is the reason for the in
auguration of a motorcycle su-
pervlsion of the patrol system?
Is this supervision a revival of
the "shoofly" system?
Has the number of men on spe-
clal detail been the cause of un-
derpolicing of the city?

Officers at the Rockaway Point Naval
Air Station vainly waited last night for
the arrival of carrier pigeons that
might bring message from the three
navy members who ascended from the
naval air station at noon Monday in
an endurance trial and who, it is
feared, nave met with disaster.
The balloon, one Of the largest in the
service and having capacity Of $4,000
cubic feet Of hydrogen. sailed over
brooklyn in northerly direction
shortly after the start, and one OF the
four carrier pigeons taken along was
re caged With message that everything
was all right at that stage Of the
journey.

began an investigation Of the
condition of Great Britain's navy
and its position as compared with
the sea forces Of other nations.
This step relieves temporarily
the embarrassment which the
government has suffered by
campaign which has alarmed the
country to the extent that it
fears that the United States and
Japan threaten British naval
supremacy.
Secretary Daniels has rather
raised the wind of the British

section of the public demands
reduction of national expendit-

in a quandary.

One cannot say too much in praise of
perfect hand. But the perfect hand
that Is, the hand that is f1awless in
shape and in expression--is SO rarely
met with that most of us see but a few
in lifetime.
And when say that, do not want
to discourage any women from the
task OF improving her hands. She may
never attain perfect hands-but If she
tries, she will certainly acquire much
better looking ones than if she made
no effort
Now it is possible to do so much for
the face and complexion, the hair and
the figure, that I sometimes think it
does not matter so much how a woman
looks in tho beginning-since an al.
most complete Transformation is posi-
Bile. But the hands do depend almost
entirely upon the shape for their
beauty, and the shape cannot be
altered. Yet the little that can be
done to improve the hands counts irl-
mensely. And best of all, it is not
hard to do.
The puffy fat hands that go always
with the fluffy fat figure can be made
slender as the body itself is reduced.
Dry, wrinkly hands can be softened

1t is not necessary for me to go in
TO details Of these treatments. My
readers probably know them very well
already. / am simply suggesting i
few things that can be done, by way
of a reminder. Remember always, too,
that your hands are expressive of your
character-almost as much as your
face is.

there is nothing unusual about the bust

need give yourself no concern about
incongruities in your measurements;
they will attain the proper proportions
after your full growth. If you feel con-
scious of your hips, wear the one piece
frock, which is in straight lines from
shoulder to hem, and have it belted
very loosely below the waist line.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please tell me
If it is all right for young girl to let
a man kiss me all the time he is with
me, but never tells me that he loves
me. I don't believe he does love me-
because he doesn't give me candy and
flowers like other boys give their
sweethearts and he never takes me
out, but he always wants to kiss me,
when he comes to see me. What do
you advise me to do?
1t is not right to let the young man
kiss you. I have given the same
answer to thousands of questions
similar to yours, and will probably be
asked the same question as long as
the column is conducted. Tell him he
