POLICE

That organization Of the police departments Of
American cities. to work through a central bureau Of
criminal investigation and identification, should have
to wait on the initiative of some of the cities, and still
should be only semi-governmental, seems an odd cir
Gumstance in municipal life. Yet it has just now been
attempted, after a conference of police heads and GRIM
inologists in New York, in which, by the way, Mime
apoHs should be gratified to have participated.
This matter of common action on a matter OF COM
mon interest is one for which there has been no provi-
sion in American governmental schemes. AS a result
~uncommony a charge by one city against another that
it harbors rather than pursues criminals. Every city
police department proceeds self-sufhciently most Of the
time. whatever concerted action there may be, after the
fact ct the crime. and rarely before the fact. in efforts
toward crime prevention. Moreover, whatever cooper
alton there is between or among cities works clumstly
because it does not clear through any common channel.
1t is a defect that is common to large cities. and
common in similar measure to the cities and villages
of a given state. Efforts toward statewide handling
of the crime problem. were made in the last session Of
the Minnesota legislature, when it was proposed to e-
tablish a state department Of police, or at least a crime
investigation burcau--a clearing house in criminology
for Minnesota; but the effort failed. despite the fact
that the need was as apparent as it has been shown to
be by the action Of this New, York conference in rela-
ton to the larger cities of the whole country.
The bureau which the cities Interested Will now
establish in New York ought to proye an important fac
tor in solving the problem of coping with the greatly
increased criminality over the country. That 1t will lead
to establishing a national bureau for the same purpose,
through congressional action. seems a reasonable pre-
5diction. At least something OF this kind should be done;
there should be some governmental leans for common
scttons against crime over tho United
sAs Tribune.

THE MOONS BEHAVIOR.

Every little while some one calls attention to errors
which have been made by this or that famous author in
writing Of the moon and its movements. Such errors
are frequent and many examples could be found Of au-
at impossible times, or attributins to it a shape at par
tcular times which no properly regulated moon can
have under the circumstances.
One of the most common errors is for the novelist
to tell Of his hero or heroine watching the new moon
rising in the quiet of a summer evening. Those who
have studied the subject know that the moon does not
act in that way. 1t is true that the moon always rises
more or less in the east, and that the new moon can be
seen in the evening. But when the moon is new" it
always rises in the morning, and it is 50 nearly in line
with the sun that at the moment Of its change it can
not be seen even by those who look for it at that time
of day.
A similar error consists in describing the full-orbed
moon setting in the evening. Again this is impossible,
Is the moon owes its "fullneS' to the fact that it is on
the opposite side of the. earth from the sun.
Attention has also been called to the fact that ar
fists have frequently drawn an evening moon with the
rounded side of the crescent to the left, whereas we are
told that the rounded side. in such cases, is always at
the Observers right. 1t seems that Raphael committed
this error in one of his famous pictures.
OF superstitions concerning the moon there is of
course, no end :. Many Of these relate to the changes
from one quarter to another. There seems to be an i'm
preston that nature has divided the moon into quar-
ters and that the presentation OF each quarter is a sep
arate phenomena, and that the time and manner Of its
occurrence is a matter of great Importance. The fact
is, Of course, that the moon continually turns the same
face toward the earth, and that its visibility is due to
the light which it receives from the sun. AS the same
side is not always presented to the sun there is constant
change in the lighted area which We see, and that
change is not by quarters, or thirds, or sixteenths, but
by infinitesimal gradations which are as rapid at one
time as at another. Nevertheless, many of us stick to
the old superstitions, and enjoy them.

Chickens come home to roost in
baseball the same as in anything
else.
Last winter Miller Higgins trad.
ed George Mogridge, southpaw, and
Duffy Lewis. outfielder, to Wash
ington for Bobby Roth, the swan.
dering Romeo" OF the American,
league.
The Washington club has Just
finished humbling the Yanks by
taking four games out Of five from
them.
And in that series both Mogrldge
and Lewis played parts in the
downfall OF the team that had cast
them OF. Z.
Roth didn't break into the games.
That's how Mogridge and Lewis
came home to roost on the mite
managers back right In their old
ball yard.
Baseball is full Of such boom,
erangs.
Players who don't seem to be
there" on one club, can do won.
ders for another.
Mogridge was an uulucky pitcher
with the Yanks last year. The
breaks all seemed to go against
him.
Lewis, though still a great out.
fielder, has never shown his old
Boston form. Before he came 10
|t'ew York Lewis was ranked
among the best. He broke his an.
kle sliding into a bag last summer
and Higgins figured he would be
too slow for the Yanks this year.
Roth, the temperamcntal OUT
fielder who has played on every
American league club except De.
troit, and ST. Louis. had the speed
that Higgins wanted.
Hence the trade.
But Roth has been Idle most ct
the time so far. Young Bob Meu
sells hitting has kept him in tho
Lineup. Ping Bodie and Ruth aren't
likely to be Sbenched TO give Roth
u chance.
What looked like a good trade
for Higgins has worked ont the
other way. according 10 the mathc.
matics in the case.
Mogridge will likely tame the
Yanks again when they meet and
Lewis and his bat will cause the
New York pitchers trouble.
M0gridge knows what the Yauk
batters can't hit. Lewis knows
what Yank pitchers have got.

WOMEN IGNORED
 BY REPUBLICANS

Little Rock, Aug. 5.-In noticea- ble contrast to the action of the Dem- ocratic party in Arkansas in recog- nizing the newly enfranchised half of the electorate, the Republican par Ity has apparently ignored the wom- en in their political organizations
 In the stae convention one woman was indeed nominated for a state office and there are a few instances of women being given minor polit- ical positions, but they do not appear prominent in the partisan councils as do the Republican women of other states. This may be because the Republicans are coming into power again in Arkansas, so far as feder- al offices are concerned, after a hia- tus of several years and they are too busy repairing the spells of of flee to give any special attention to the women of the party.
