ANOTHER SHIPPING TANGLE

THE seizure by the Shipping Board OF

ters in New York, raises "A multiplicity of
complex questions upon which the public Is
hardly competent to judge.
1t is permissible to note the Omnous

Hearst is prey was In n large degree

Mr.. Lasker has verified the reports Of
chaos in the operation of the Shipping
Board His authorization of the seizure of
the United States mail vessels has been in
terpreted as an attempt to infuse the
organization with simple business principles
and to collect property for overdue debts
One of its effects, however. is the intro
ducton of new legal tangles, as the mail
company has secured possession of the
rented vessels by temporary injunction.

KEEPING THE POLICE COOL

il there had been Il paraso for each man,
nor If it had been cool. Hot weather af-

Superintendent Mills treated the matter

talking to and sent them back to their posts
He and his aides at the City Hall are wear
ing cool white linen uniforms. The men on
the street wear woolens with a flannel shirt
heavy cap and hot puttccS. 1t is easier to
be calm in white linen than In dark wooens.
This was fortunate for the men who fought.
Perhaps now that its need has been for
cibly demonstrated another parasol will be
provided at Broad and Chestnut streets and
at every other point where an officer is
stationed to direct traffic And perhaps by
next year it may BE- decided to permit the
