THE WOMEN RESERVES

It HE fact that New York can call TWO
1 thousand women police reserves INTO service upon
abort notice shows the interest the New York women
take in civic affairs, and then readiness 10 assist
whenever the demand comes.
These reserves were called upon TO act aS traffic
officers at school crossings, Il work that Is especially
appealing 10 women. Without Tie assistance of an
officer It would be lmpossibic for the children in
attendance on the public schools to get 10 their school
buildings, traffic conditions being such in New York
that children arc helpless at crossings. 30 many OF
the regular police force have been called from thc'r
customary duties because Of the disorder attendant
upon the milk strike, thai il was necessary 10 au8Fncnt
The force from the women police reserves.
The women reserves while on duty will wear dark
blue uniforms and Sam Browne belts. thCy ell have
badges and police whistles. and they have tic power
10 arrest in case OF disregard Of then signals. They
will be on duty from s 20 ii in the morning. from u
to | at noon, and 3 10 800 in the afternoon. That
they will give strict attention 10 Ihcir duty goes wits
out question as the lives Of their charges depend upon
these reserve officers.
If there is one Job wlich has always been consider
ed peculiarly a mans Job, il is that OF police officer.
and The efficiency Of d woman on a police force Ter
any other than corrective work has always been met
with sccpticism. In Nov York, tho women have
demonstrated how foolish tins auiludc is. The women
police reserves have been organic! since 1915 and
their work has always been splendid and, during The
war. absolutely invaluable. They now numbcs
5000. and arc called wlhout hesitation for service
whenever the reed arises. IN this present instance OF
the strike the city turned 10 them as a matter Of
course and in placing in their care he lives OF thou
sands Of children gave ample proof of the confidence
which The ciy places in the women reserves.

LIKE oEE LIE SHAcKLES

n HTNA'S appeal to FIX Ter " tariffs is certainly
~ a just one. The present tariff permits no dis
elimination whatever in its application. The amount
Of tariff is set, and the same tariff applies to any ano
all articles of trade entering China.
So long as China is only allowed a five percent
taGf upon all imports and must pay a maximum
tariff upon all exports her industry will be crippled
Chinese competition has been deliberately quashcd in
h. past By this unfair ruling.
Unless the Chimes arc permitted 10 arrange ther
own rates and have control over their own fiscal afars
the whole structure Of Chinese freedom discussed with
much JUNCTION in the Conference will crumblc. With
Chinese tariff arranged out side Of that county by
powers that have always dictated Chinese destiny, the
open door will be open, only from the outside, and
China will find it securely closed against her. The
INSTANCE upon retaining control of the railroads and
other concessions in order to protect loans may al
present be necessary, but is against public sentiment
which is in favor Of giving China a free hand in ter
own internal affairs.
II is plain that Japan will make no move in 50
far a. China is concerned until The other nations have
fully expressed their intentions, especially if Their
actions reflect japanese sentiment. as must be the case
in The prcScn, development Of the discussion. The
thought is hardly a AattcrinS one, and the allies may
e'angc their methods when they notice their own
reflection in the mirror of japanese ambition.

The Exact Truth

John Brown died this morning
He was buried in an asbestos
coffin and his relatives threw In
Palm leaf fans. Brown may need

never cooked a meal in her life

known industrial school. 1t set me

Once a long time ago I read a
story about a man who opened en-

promised to show them wEer,

family affairs.
He went from office to office,
from store to store, from home to
home and he proved a blessing In
disguise. Today I'm afraid we're
too narrow minded to submit to the
test. People are too dead sure they
arc right about everything.
The Adjustcr stayed n few days
and observed carefully. Then he
spoke his mind worry plainly. He'd
say. for instance ":Brown And

Lord Milner Declares for More Tangible Constitution

London, Aug. 24.-An imperial con- stitution, which would include within it's scope the United Kingdom and all British dominions is necessary, declares Lord Miner, former colonial secretary, speaking last night at a farewell din- ner given in honor of Premier w. F. Massey of New Zealand Premier Mas sey will sail on Thursday for Canada enroute to the Antipodes, and last night he was the guest of the New Zealand colony in London. Lord Miner added that a constitution in some form would become absolutely inevitable. He said it might not be a written document, but that it certainly would be some thing more tangible than the present government.
 Premier w. M. Hughes of Australia, left London yesterday on his homeward journey. He will spend week in France, where he will present an Aus tralian flag to the city of Amiens. He will also unveil a cross in honor of the Australian soldiers who fell at Nillers- Bretonnex in 1918. s

 Little Jock and long Bob were In rare form, but were given a hard fight by the two Detroit players, Trovinger, the Canadian open champion, putting up a particularly strong game and sinking several long puts for wins or halves.
 The match was quickly evened in the afternoon, however, when Frank Adams, Chicago, and George Dowden, Cincinnati, took the measure of Alec Ross and Harry Hampton, Detroit, in a match that lacked many of the spec tacular points of the first encounter. Willie Ogg, Worcester, and Ramsey Hunter, Chicago, scored another point for the AngloScottish players when they defeated Charlie Lormes, Toledo, and Walter Sherwood, Newark, N. J., in rather easy fashion.
 The rest of the points were won by the Americans, Emmett French of Youngstown and William Melhorn of Cincinnati, winning from Laurie Ayton and Charlie Mayo, both of Chicago, in match in which French had the low card for the day, Il. French played excellent golf, having 5 on the third hole, 7 on the fourth and on the seventeenth.
