FOR WOMAN POLICE
Congress Asked to Speed
Action at This Session to
Create Bureau.

Among the food of bills now be-
fore Congress, the measure to create
woman's bureau in the Metropoli-
tan Police Department and give it's
head the rank of Inspector must be
reported from the House and Senate
District committees on or before
Wedn esday or it cannot pass this
session, according to supporters of
the bill.
introduced in the Senate by SEN
ator Smoot and in the House by Rep
resentative Blanton a week ago, the
measure was sent to the District COM
mittees of the respective branches
Of Congress. Every effort is being
made to bring it out with favorable
reports by Wednesday and have it
start its final journey through both
houses simultaneously.
Erroneous Statements Made.
1t was pointed out that the bill
gives the Woman's Bureau of the
Police Department. which has been
operating since 1918, a legal status
by making it definite bureau by act
of Congress. Erroneous statements
have been issued, it is said, regarding
the authority asked for the head of
the bureau. The director would hold
the rank of inspector, but be answer
aDIe TO the superintendent OF ponce,
as all other officers are at present.
The bill continues the power and
privileges of the Commissioners and
the superintendent of police to pre-
scribe certain functions for the bu-
reau not inconsistent with the pur-
pose and function Of the bureau,
which is protection and preventive
work, for women and children

laid down are either prescribed al

the. bill, it simply puts the members
of the Woman's bureau on an equal
footing, according to the period OF
service and classification, with other
members of the Metropolitan Police
Department, but specifies that officers
attached to it may not be detailed
to other work except upon the recon-
mendation of it's director.
1t raises the rank of two officers
increases the compensation of two
others and makes the compensation
of other members of the bureau the
same as the other members of the
Police Department. The bill provides
the annual increase in the number
of policewomen up to As, with ar
immediate increase to not less than
30, and also provides for the neces-
sary office force.

she began to sing little, Chickie
took the bundle and rode down.

it away-shirts, little gowns, blan.
kets.
She was nervous about it and
put it on the floor under her feet.
Some one nudged her elbow.
Pretty big lunch you carry these
days, Chickie!'' Sarah Dillon, the
homely, good-natured girl who lived
around the corner, kicked the pack
age with her toe and slid into the
seat at Chickie's side.
Chickie's face was crimson with
shock She had a picture Of the

After a moment she answered flip

wished to get off the car.
Sarah rambled on: "Not working,

so-you've been away. Well, I'm

you were engaged. Just think, it's

The bundle weighed heavily.
Sarah looked after her from the car
window and waved. A little thing
like that oppressed and frightened
her. She wondered what Sarah
would say-what all the world would
say, If abruptly they were to know.
She walked quickly to the Salvation
Army. There was a desk in the
hall-no attendant. Chickie left the
bundle and hurried away.
No one saw. No one knew-she
went along in the morning breeze
and the sun. People treated her
Just the same they saw no
difference in her. She was the same.
A sense of freedom touched her. She
wished to intensity the feeling. She
went down town to meet Janina.
