Policewomen probably will disappear
from the London streets in the near
future. The Geddes Economy Commit
tee has recommended their disoa1d-
ment, and the Home Office says that
while no decision has been reached the
probability is that the women Will be
dropped from the service. There are
more than one hundred women now on
duty, principally in the heart Of the city.
and most conspicuously in the Strand
and Piccadly districts.
They are a fine type Of women, their
duty consisting mostly OF dealing with
the preventive side of crime. But II Is
estimated that they cost the city more
than 5000. 1000 yearly and have been
ruled as unnecessary in the campaign
to cut the budget. Patrolwomen were
first introduced during the war. and
while their good work is admitted the
Official attitude is 10 regard the service

The problem o. ratifying the reelec-
ton for the seIenth time of Larry
O'Ne;ll as Lord Mayor in the capital Of
the country that has produced more
Mayors than any country in the world
stumped the City Council at its last
meeting and the matter had to be held
over until the next meeting. Normally
the City Council submits a number OF
names to the governmental authority.
which generally selects the first name
on the list. the bearer of which assumes
office February 23.
This procedure was followed this time
and names were submitted to President
Griffith but only for ratification. as the
council had elected O'Neill in January
on its own authorization, as there was
no governmental authority then The
President of the Dali Eireann. however,
replied with the statement that such a
function belonged more properly to the
Provisional Government
But as the council was not officially
connected with the Provisional Govern
ment the clerk had no authority to
submit the name of O'Neill to Michael
Collins, the head thereof, wherefore
O'Neill must wait for months to get the
full authority of the council.

Berlin, Feb. 25. !
Some OF the critics of Soviet Russia
may obtain comfor. out of learning the
fact that the certificate Lenine received
on leaving school showed grades of
100 in every subject except logic, In
which the future dictator of Russia
received only 80. Lenine, or vladimir
Ilitsch Ulianow, his real name, finished
the public school course at the school
Of Simbirsk in 1887.

that .he headmaster the school was +.

Pupils in Continental public schools
have to pass so-called examination of
maturity which entities them to pursue
university studies. Russian schools at
that time not only issued Certificates
of maturity" but gold medals were
awarded the most efficient pupils. Len
inc received this "hierarchical symbol
of bourgeois society" as he might call
it to-day. The headnaster's testimonial
characterizes him as a boy who owing

Not a single instance is known when
Lenine either in or out of school created
ali unfavorable impression on his su-

His tuition and moral development
were always carefully supervised BY
his parents. After 1886, when his father
died. his mother devoted her entire at

Berlin, Feb. %.
Berlin is the cradle of Caiuso's fame.
Yet doubt existed OF the possibility OF
obtaining a full house here with the
price OF seats in the pit raised TO twenty
five marls-which in some theaters is
the present rate. These statements were
made by Emil Lehner. who handled
Caruso's early contracts or the Euro
pean continent, and now publishes recol-
lections OF the early stages Of Carusos
career.
According to Herr Lehner, Heinrich
Conried, who became general director Of
the New York Metropolitan Opera in
1909 found among the oblgat tions as
sumed by his predecessor, Maurice Grau,
a contract with an unknown singer called
Caruso. Considering the financial terms
OF the contract too heavy, he instructed
his representative, Lehner. TO induce
Caruso to change his contract.
Lehncr met Caruso in Berlin the day
after his successful debut here in ''Rigo-
letto.' Replying to Lehner's remarks
Caruso said:
"Conried probably is afraid shall not
interest the New York public enough to
sing forty times in one season. II the
American public doesn't care to hear me
forty times I'll go away, with or with
out a contract. And il my New York
debut fails l shall leave immediately"
But even after Caruso mad sung In
New York and had made q great success
OF his engagement Conried wanted TO
test him once more before agreeing 10
his financial terms. The test was fur
nished by Caruso's appearance at the
Vienna opera. Conried, who was
Niennese, wanted to study the effect OF
the tenor's arr upon the public OF
Vienna. which Conricd considered the
most musical city ~ tho world. After
his great success there in "Rigoletto."
says Lehner. Caruso's name soon became
household word in the world OF music.

another habit-gum chewing. Last
year more than S1,O0o.eOo worth Of
gum was masticated here. The habit
developed largely during the war. and
the sales since 1914 have increased
fourfold
There was a national shudder not
many years sgo when chewing gum was
first brought across the Atlantic. It
created something OF the sensation Of
Sir Walter Raleigh's pipe in Eliza
bethan days and was frowned at with
something OF the same suspicion But
things have changed since then. 1t is
well known that the Prince Of Wales
is Il hsbitual gum chewor. His Royal
Eighness aways Uses gum when play
ing polo and other sports. and his
example is bcing followed widely.
Manufacturers and agents declare
that chewing gum has become almost
indispensable among airmen. It is as
serted that the principal users are
miners. cotton operatives, factory
workers and other Industrial employees
who cannot smoke at their work. Thus
British smokers are finding chewing a
solace.
on the other hand, some medical au-
thorties here decry the habit, and so
cially lit isn't done" But the sale
is increasing nevertheless. DR.. Mary
Schallieb calls It "a most injurious
habit. and one which leads TO self-in-
dulsence."
England still has long way TO so,
however. for It is estimated that Amer
lea consumes fifty times the quantity
used here.

Several prominent scholars cooperated
to make this possible. and from the

ganization, says that in Europe there
are fifteen dialects of Romani. In ad-

few are known with any thoroughness.
There are a few followers of George
Burrow, however. who claim something
greater as writer's of linguistic knowl-

says that there are still good many
