TAMMANY CULTIVATING
TASTE FOR SODA WATER.

NEW YORK, March 16.-since
John Barleycorn vas technically
laid to rest and women began to
vote. the Tammany Hall tiger-that
picturesque animal proverbial in
New York politics for more than a
century-is cultivating a thirst for
soda water and tea, studying books
Of etiquette and v~enturing u to
lthes dansants and card parties.
Whether he viii take naturally to
these changed conditions or not only
time will tell. His sponsors today
admit he is still awkward with the
tea cur and hat unconsciously he
sometimes reminiscently blows the
foam from ice cream sodas, but they
bank on the mythical feline's repu-
tation at adaptability.
In the olden days. of course. the
tigers element was the saloon. Here
he met his companions in a free and
easy manner, entered into their con-
viviality-and managed to scatter
political seeds on fallow ground. He
knew them as Joe" or Tim" or
other appellations of intimacy. If
one of the number needed a job. the
tiger or his emissaries found him
one. If his wife died. flowers were
sent. IL anyone was in distress of
whatever nature, relief was always
forthcoming. For many years Tam
many claimed the reputation of be-
ing the greatest charitable institu-
ton in the world.
But now things have changed. The
tigers friends find no interest in n
old haunts, now that only Volstead
prescriptions are served. Bereft of
his vote-getting elixir, and mindful
that the electorate contains an ele-
ment that requires more delicate
courtship, the tiger must become
companionable as we'll as generous.
For the past few months, Charles
F. Murphy, the tigers chief trainer
in the new ways of political organi-
cation, has equipped his charge with
all the social accoutrements. includ-
ing equipment for athletic clubs. re-
freshments for afternoon teas and
other necessary paraphernalia de-
signed to keep the old organization
in functioning order.
The bulletin boards in the main
headquarters in Fourteenth street
are generally covered with placards
announcing amateur athletic events,
dances and other functions. Club
rooms are being fitted up in the hope
of attracting women's organizations
to hold sessions there. Believers in
the tigers versatility are confident
that he may yet become an attrac-
tive Beau Brummel. and that the
Tammany organization will continue
TO be a force in things political.

nance in having a man on duty at
the city hall at all times.

night provides for the entire o
g~anization of the department. 1t
provides for a chief, two ~sergeants,
one roundsman and seven patrol
men. 1t provides penalties for any,
one initiating any device or signal

duty of each man. 1t calls for reg
ular reports of the police activities

comfort, facing them with soft, light furs-

charming new model is of navy blue wool
