UP ON WORK
Shank Asked That They Be
Charged With IneffiCiency
and Let Go.
EIGHT ARE ON JOB
Official Declares Their Release
Would Be Blow to
Court.
EIGHT ARE ON JOB

Poucewomen working out of the
courthouse are not inefficient. accord
ing to Judge Frank J. Lair of juve-
nile court. Mayor Shank has asked
that they be charged with ineficiency
and discharged.
"They are the most efficient mem
bers of the entire force, and appoint
ment Of pOlicewomen to the force was
the finest move ever made in the mis-
tory of the Indianapolis police force"
said the judge.
The ability Of the policewomen,
whose work deals mostly with the fam
iIy and in cooperation with Juvenile
authorities, can not be measured by
the number of arrests they make. be-
cause their work IS preventive, rath-
er than punitive. said Judge Lahr.
I'm olden days policemen carried
book and their efficiency was rated 10y
the arrests they made" commented
the judge. Now a policeman is rat
ed according TO the number OF arrests
he doesn't nave TO make. In ether
words. what he is doing to prevent
crime, rather than catch criminals"
1.-THE Juvenile court here never
was submitted to such attacks until
the present administration. Our work
is not advertised. and perhaps the
mayor is unaware Of what it IS or
where It lies"
Removal Of the eight policewomen
now working out of the courthouse.
as ordered by Mayor Shank in his
conflict with county officials, Will be
a body blow at the Juvenile court,
said Judge Lair.
Shank says the city is paying
inefficient polcewomen to do the
ycounty's work" said the judge.
1.-The truth OF the matter is this.
The juvenile court is only a county
court in name. I handle 1000 cases
q year, and only five or six a yeaE
come from outside the city limits. My
court is a city court, and IL the
matter was administrated rightly.
Mayor Shank would find that he
would have my salary and all ex-
penses Of the court to pay, instead
Of keeping a few Investigators over
here"

SHACKLES Of OLD
WORLD DISCARDED
BY CHINESE GIRL
Mott Street Shaken When
F!apper' BalkS al Wedding
to Tong Leaders Son.
BIZ WESTBROOK PEGLER
United N1icS staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-DOWn there
in the bend of Mott St, where shuttle
gated china boys go sinking through
dark Railways on silent pads of felt,
like born conspirators, they are try
ing to assimiIate a new idea.
Sightseers, thrilling to the mysteri-
Gus reek of incense and recoihng from
strange evils suggested by the squeals
ard smells and shadows of Chinatown,
have no conception at all of the social
tumult which IS in progress.
The Chinese flapper has asserted
herself-a fapper with bobbed hair,
and occidental notions of feminine
freedom and progress. the girl Is
only one girl, a 13-year-old Chinese
girl, Mildred Wen Of Washington.
But to Chinatown she represents an
intolerable idea-the rebellion Of the
Chinese woman against the status
which the Chinese woman has occu-
pied for thousands of years In a
manner Of speaking, Mildred Wen is
millions Of women, all the women Of
China.
This new idea of hers Is a very
difficult thing for the oder boys, especi-
ally, to get outside OF.
She was betrothed Of her own will
to George Mum Lee, a 22-year-old
junior student Of engineers at New
York University, son of Lee Quon, one
of the wealthtest Chinese in the United
States. George met Mildred at a So
cial doings in the Chinese embassy in
Washington and they contrived their
own romance without the customary
matchmaking assistance Of their re-
spective fathers. That was rather a
snap of the fingers for the Oldest ira
ditions Of the race, but the match
was very desirable, uniting two rich
and influential Chinese houses. So
nobody made an issue Of it.
But when Mildred last week failed
to rport In Mott St. for her wedding to
George, Chinatown thought she must
have been waylaid and killed.
She's in Balky Mood
The Chinese imagination could not
compass her refusing to come here for
the wedding. The thought never &C.
CURED until it was learned Tuesday
that Mildred had simply baked. She
would not come to him. He must
go to her as American boys do if
he wished her to be his bride.
There was no blinking the fact
that here they had rebellion. And
the outcome of the rebellion is this
George has gone to Washington for
Mildred.

pay and no pitch hot.
/ The wedding feast awaits the return
of George with his bethrOthed, assun-
| ing that she consents to come here at
all, which is assuming a lot to judge
by past performances. For days the
great men of the various American
Chinatowns have been shaking their
lips in anticipation OF roast pig and
