 nCHIEE HART."

The police commissioners made a pA~2 selection in naming sergeant Hart as successor 10 Chief Rawlings when the latter leaves his office August first Not only have they placed a man at the head of the department who will bring to its leadership a determination to see that the law Is enforced and those guilty of breaking 1t punished, but they have shown by their action that sin cere, conscientious work, marked by conspicuous energy, brings recogni- ton. If the good administration or police affairs under Chief Rawlings has been characterized by under standing of human frailties tending at times toward lenieney, the admin istration of those affairs under Ser geant Hart will bring a return to strict interpretation of the law in which the person who transgresses may expect no quarter. ----.-.
 A person or publication who Is able to see only those things he or 1t wishes to see, and who has discovered a new sort of spectacle through which no sights are visible which will con- fiet with the wishes of the person or publication, is fortunate indeed, The Hartford Courant this morning says: ITO have denied the place to the member of the department unquestionably best qualified to fill it, merely because he was recom- mended by the states attorney-and that in response to a request from the mayor and members of the police board, who neglected to consult the democratic newspaper of the city would have been an injustice to Ser geant Hart and a loss to New Britain"
 Gently, charitably. as behooves one to treat old age. we remind the Courant that New Britain has no democratic newspaper and that the mayor and members of the police board did not request the states attorney to recommend the next chief and the states attorney did not recom- mend Sergeant Hart over other candi- dates mentioned-all of which was explained some time ago in an article in The Herald based upon interviews with the men concerned. The mayor did not consult the democratic paper" here Nor did the mayor con suit The Herald. The Mayor and members of the police commission were rather well aware that The Herald believed Sergeant Hart would be thoroughly competent to conduct the affairs of the department
 Sergeant Hart and the city is to be congratulated, the one on the opportu nity he will have to do good work which will benefit his city; the other for having man at the head of it's police department who will be strong and conscientious and able in the handling of this important branch of it's affairs.

BATHING SUITS AND SUCH.

It is reported that there are few complaints from shocked people over the appearance of one-piece bathing suits on the beaches. There are just as many suits, but there are fewer objections 10 them. Of course the obvious explanation is that people are getting used to them. And undoubt- edy this is the true explanation, coupled with the fact that people who have become accustomed, too, 10 the short skirts Of the recent past and to some extent 10 the present, see less immodesty in the bathing suits.
 But the changing viewpoint of the people who have seen the one-piece suit arrive and become popular, sug- gests another matter which is of far more importance, These same people. womens every day dress. from the
 long. skirt to the short one. IL was
 
 were not at all prudish to be some what astonished when the short skirt first came in, They could remember the time when a momentarily short- ened skirt was a rarity. Gradually they have become accustomed 10 the short sklrt and think little about it, although it must be confessed that the longer q person had lived under the long skirt regime the more dffl- cult it is for that person to get over the feeling that there is something rather remarkable in the sight of very much abbreviated skirt
 But low about the younger genera tiono How about the boys and girls aud children who never knew, or who can scarcely remember the time when women wore skirts that almost trailed the ground or which did, in fact touch the ground? Will or does the sight of short skirts surprise them Does there come to them any idea of immodesty on the part of the wearer Of the short skirto Are such young people harmed by the sight?
 Of course there are lands where it is considered immodest to unveil the face The argument cannot be car ried far, but the suggestion may be made. Today, when women in those lands are beginning to unveil their faces it is probable that many are shocked II is probable that thoughts which are not elevating are Inspired by the sight of an unveiled face. l Thus far, and no farther, perhaps, | the similarity extends. The point to be made is that there would seem to be no reason why the short skirt now in a measure doomed by fashion, bringing more comfort and freedom from the gathering of dirt and dust | which accompanied the wearing of r long skirts, should be drowned upon | as long as the change is not carried | to the extreme. Fashion experts say that while the long skirt may come back in Europe, and that the skirts will be longer in this country than they have been in the days of the | extremely short ones the American | woman will never be forced by | fashion back into the old servtude of the very long skirt. The Amer ican woman, as usual, has common sense on her side. Modesty is one of the finest of virtues; it is to be culti- vated. But there may be an errone- ous idea of immodesty.
