both police officials an dthe corpora
ton counsers office at a loss To
know what report to make 20 the

the matter they decided to recom-
mend a new set of regulations COW

it was his opinion, after studying
the matte. that the women's bu-
reau was a part of the police de-
partment and that the insubordina-

ment to settle.
1t is expected that the District
Commissioners will discuss the
matter at the board meeting today
and will direct the corporation

On the vaudeville bill for the first
three days of this week at the Aldine
there are several features in the
various acts that are bit unique.
The show is nicely balanced with a
bit of the circus. minstrel show and
comedy combined.
Joe Bennett presents himself In
Dark Moments" While Joe was
not listed by the press agent as the
headliner. for all that he can lay
claim TO those honors. Unlike many
acts of its kind. the entertainer in
this case does not say a great deal
nor crack a great many Jokes. How
ever, actions speak louder than
words. therein probably lays Ben
nett's success. The opening leaves
the audience wondering until the
finish why II was started in that way.
Meehan and Newman offer some
thing a little different In the way
OF dancing and music. Miss New
man IS an exceptionally good singer.
and is a proficient yodeler. Meehnn
is responsible for the dances.
