bands of georgette on the sleeves and
panels insures enough bOuffancy in
them and the picture leaves nothing
to be described in this simple slip
over dress, with bodice tied at the
back of the neck with narrow cire rib
bon ties finished with taSselS. The
narrow girdle is made of the crepe.
Soft black velvet for the formal
afternoon or dinner dress, finds this
mode of elaborate sleeves the very
best sort of aid to beauty, especial

panels. The sleeves may be of satin
or of velvet in a contrasting color, and
richly embroidered, with deep borders
at the bottom of the panels to match
them.

Commissioner = Oyster Looks
FavorabIy on Plan Used in
Other States.

In his consideration of the traffic
problems of Washington, Commits
sioner James r. Oyster Is giving at
tention to the system of licensing au'
tomobile drivers annually.
At the present time, when a person
obtains a license to drive an automo.
bile, II does not have to be renewed
every year, as IL the case with the
automobile tags. Persons are now
driving machines in Washington who
obtained their drivers license when
they were first issued, more than ten
years ago.
1t is said that IL the system in
vogue In other States was followed
that there would be less reckless driV-
ing. for when a person appeared for
his annual drivers license. he would
be questioned as to the number OF
times he had been arrested and the
character OF the complaint.
One OF the District officials has rec
commended that a means of lettering
traffic would be the entire elimination
of the public hackers from the streets
and their stationing at garages. II
this system was adopted, when per
son wanted TO hire an automobile he
or she would have TO telephone to a
garage. II this method was adopted
II is claimed II would do away with
much of the abuse of the traffic reg
ulations and also help the police to
keep check on some of the alleged
hackers who use their badge as a
subterfuge for Bookkeeping and other
forms of law breaking.

ALCOHOL, FAKE
STAMPS
IN GARAGE FIRE
Explosions Heard Before Blaze.
"a Gallons of Liquor Seized
BY Police.

Thirty-four gallons Of alcohol were
discovered early this morning when
fire started In the garage in the rear
of 2511 Sherman avenue northwest.
Several explosions were heard just be-
fore the blaze and 1t is believed that
some Of the alcohol had become
ignited.
Several empty cans, which were
scorched and which were believed to
have contained alcohol, were found at
the place. A large number of fake
internal revenue stamps and whisky
labels were also discovered I'm the
garage. Damage estimated at 5000
was caused before the firemen put out
the blaze.
The police say Harry Arronson. 514

Tho alcohol. stamps and labels were

CRIME NEGLECT
Slow Action in Cases Allows
BootIeggers and Bookmakers
to Continue Unchecked.

One of the conditions which the
District Commissioners will seek to
remedy is that permitting bootleggers
and bookmakers TO ply their trade
even after being arrested.
There are now on the list awaiting
trial in the District courts about 100
alleged bookmakers and 300 alleged
bootleggers. A few hours after their
arrest these men gained liberty
through professional bondsmen.
In one case brought TO the attention
of the Commissioners, a bookmaker
arrested at o'clock in the afternoon
was out on bonds two hours later and
the next morning went about his bus
mess collecting bets on races.
In the cases of alleged bootIeggers.
the Government Is up against a hard
er proposition. During the early days
of prohibition enforcement, when the
prohibition agents captured boot
logger with an automobile they usual
ly confiscated the car. Now the boot
leggers, are said to be hiring cars to
carry on their trade and when they
are caught the owner Of the car ap-
pears on the scene shortly after he
finds out his car has been captured
and demands it's return
After putting up bonds for his APP
peatance in court the bootlegger OBJ
tains another supply of liquor and
starts out again.
Criticism has been directed against
the police and the prohibition agents
because, II is charged. that while they
arrest a man they do not put him out
of business as they do with other
classes of lawbreakers. The charges
also are made that policemen are be
ing paid to permit bookmakers and
bootleggers to ply their trade and that
arrests are made solely for effect.
Officials of the District government
and prohibition officials, however
have come to the defense Of the po-
licemen and agents and say they are
doing all they can. but that the fault
lies with the courts in not trying the
cases. =.
One prohibition agents said today
that he spent most of his time In the
courts here trying to get cases tried
and waiting around to be called as

POLICE RELIEF

Major Issues Bulletin Telling
What Each Member Of Force
Should Know. -

Inasmuch as there seems to be a
Misunderstanding on the part OF the
police in regard to the difference be-
tween the Police Relief Association
and the Police Department Pension
Fund, the following bulletin was pub
lished yesterday by Major Harry l..
Gessford, chief Of police, for the guild
ance of members of his command:
What each policeman should know
In order that he might intelligentiy an.
swer questions in the sale of tickets
for the big ball game on Labor Day
for the benefit of the police relief fund
II Is an association in which every
member of the department should
have a personal interest.
1t is a cooperative benefit organiza.
ton conducted by members of the
police department.
The purpose Of the association Is to
give immediate financial relief to the
widows and orphans of policemen.
This association is not an expert
ment; II is one of the oldest organiza'
organized by a committee represent.
ing the members of the police depart
ment on November IS, 1863, almost
fifty-one years ago.
1t has always paid It's obligations,
no member of the Metropolitan Police
Department having ever lost dollar
in the association, and every benefit
payment has been made.
There are no paid officers. From
the first the relief association has
been conducted without 81 of overhead
expense.
Such an organization Is necessary
because many men fail to accumulate
much money, and without a relief as
ISOLATION, II would be necessary on
the occasion of many deaths of police
men for members of the department to
go down in their pockets and make
contributions to save policeman
loved ones from actual want and des
titution.
The relief fund Is for the purpose OF
meeting debts Of a deceased police

save the cost Of the building inside

In addition to increasing the ef
could cut it's force of clerks, 1t Is
