and many other smaller pieces. and
rare collars and decorations But the
actual wealth of the order was first
revealed to the world when a mag
nificent collection of relics, portraits
and precious stones, which had ac-
cumulated In the centuries, was
shown at Bruges fifteen years ago.
While Austria and Spain have fought
for years over the honors, distinction
and wealth Of the order, little Bel
GUM has never permitted her claim
TO die. She has ylaced her demand
in the four centuries OF her insistence
upon every possible basis of right
historical. traditional and national.
There may be less romance in this
practical age than In the days Of
knighthood-at least honors as rep
resented by the Order of the Golden
Fleece are not so much sought after
as In the past. To-day Belgium would
be satisfied to let some other State
have the traditions and history If she
could have the treasure. 1t is a prize
worth having, and like JASON Of old
she has gone out In search Of 1t.

To a policeman long and hard
march through Manhattan's streets
must be small price to pay for the
opportunity TO find out first hand
what New York thinks Of its men in
blue and brass.
On other days the delinquencies Of
individuals, the irritation caused BY
restraints imposed by patrolmen, the
inevitable friction between those
whose duty it is to enforce the law
and those who think the law should
not apply to themselves, give rise to
Misunderstanding, to hot words, to
violent expressions when the police
are under discussion.
But on Police Day the town sur
veys its police force as a whole, OBJ
serves its efficiency, recalls its brave
deeds and its admirable record for
disinterested devotion to duty. New
York casts up its account with Its
police, and finds the balance on the
right side.
1t is q good thing to show off the
police occasionally. Police and city
deserve the treat.

Mothers Will Be Helped.
But the Maternity Center Associa
ton Has Had to Curtail Its Work.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD. AS Cnalf-
man Of the medical advisory board OF
the Maternity Center Association I have
been asked to make a statement In re-
gard to the curtailment of the associa-
TONS work which has been made neces-
sary because of lack of funds.
After careful consideration of each
district in Manhattan in which the Ma
ternity Center Association was working
the board of directors decided to with
draw twelve homo visiting nurses from
those districts In which other public
health agencies and hospitals were do
Ing active work and where. therefore.
the mothers and babies would not be left
totally uncared for. This association
will continue its open doctors clinics In
these districts, making available pre-
natal medical supervision for all pa
tents cared for by cooperating agencies.
A doctor and nurse will conduct the
clinics one half day each week. Any
one caring to know the hour or location
OF the nearest clinic may get this in
