Let the poIiccwomcn DO il

Y is suggested by the Social Service Fed
GRAFTON that policewomen be appointed
for duty in Richmond. That suggestion is
sound TO the core Other cities have their
women officers and they have been found
wonderfully effective along many lines
where the men have failed They would be
equally useful here. Richmond presents a
varied field for their activities, not only as
conscrvators of peace and order, but in
preventive and correctional capacity. There
arc hundred and one incidents cropping
up almost daily in course OF the police
routine where the presence of women in
an official capacity would be helpful, not
only TO those unfortunate ones who run
afoul OF the law, but to the city itself in
making better citizens
In this connection it may be surmised that
women policemen would be able TO clean up
Broad Street and make it thoroughfare
upon which all women could walk with
out fear OF insult from street loafers some
thing that the male officers seem either
unable or unwilling TO accomplish. Condi-
tons on this street are nothing short Of
disgracelul. II is made the afternoon and
evening rendezvous OF all the dIers. the
loafers and the questionable element of the
city. The street corners are cluttered mp
with young men and boys, and older ones,
too. for that matter, who seem to have no
and ogc and smirk at tho women who are
+ compelled 10 pass them. Sometimes an
officer tells them TO move on, but il is only
Il matter of minutes until their places are
filled by other obnoxious occupants There
* no legitimate reason why automobiles
should be permitted TO remain parked for
hours at the curb. filed with young men
who form an odious, commenting gantlet
through which the feminine passers-by
must walk.
Such a condition on the city's most fash
| ionabic shopping street is discrcdit and a
| blot upon the department which permits 1t
| IL exist Employ few determined police
| women and perhaps they will be willing and
| able TO dispense the Washers from the street
| and make OF II il pleasant place To look and
| walk upon, instead OF place which many
| women OF Richmond now avoid lest they
| be compelled TO see and hear disagrecablc
| things.
