DULUTH EXPECTS BIG
CROWDS JULY POS

Duluth, Mimi, July 8.-Minne-
sofa and Wisconsin trunk high
ways will groan under the heavi-
est traffic in their history this
month because of the local Expo
sition of Progress and Iron Ore
Golden Jubilee, road experts of
both states predicted this week
after hearing in detail the plans
for Duluth's biggest celebration.
In addition to the throngs that
will come by motor car, special
trains and excursion boats on the
Great Lakes will help swell the
crowd expected to make merry
from July 20 to 25.
Practically every section of
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan will furnish large quotas of
visitors for the week. The Ex-
position has also beckoned to res
idents of states as far away as
Ohio, California and Tennessee,
letters of inquiry testify.
Special parking places are be-
ing provided for the city's guests.
Hotels are prepared for all
who come, and Duluth has begun
to doll up her streets for the oc-
casion.
Interest in the undertaking has
assumed statewide proportions
since city officials of Minneapolis
and st. Paul have agreed to lend
a friendly hand in making the big
Duluth party a success.

CHANGES IN POLICE
BILL ARE FORECAST
City Heads Expected to
Recommend Partial Revi-
sion of Measure.

The District Commissioners will
send a report to Congress Tuesday in
which it is expected they will recon-
mend several changes in the bill
providing for the permanent estab-
lishment of the Woman's Bureau in
the Police Department.
1t is understood that the principal
changes will be those worked out at
the public hearing of the commission
on public welfare legislation, Friday
afternoon. Certain other changes
were suggested TO the Commissioners
by Corporation Consul stephens and
by the Police Department.
The first section of the bill is to
give permanent status to the Wom-
ans Bureau. 1t is expected the Com
missioners will insert clause in
that section, making the bureau an
integral part of the Police Depart
ment, but distinct unit thereof.
Force May BE Flexible.
AS originally drawn, the bill pro-
vided for an annual increase in the
number of policewomen until a
maximum of As is reached. 1t is
learned that the Commissioners are
considering a change in wording that
would provide for not more than As
women. The city heads may further
amend the bill to authorize the de-
failing Of men for service in the
Woman's Bureau, in the discretion of
the Commissioners. 1t will be stipu-
lated, however, that the director, as
sistant director, case supervisor and
patrol supervisor of the bureau shall
he women.
AS proposed at the public hearing
Friday, the Commissioners will
recommend revision of the section
defining the duties of the Womans s
Bureau, so that it will read as fol-
lows:
The functions of the Woman's Bu-
reau shall be to exercise the functions
of the police in the cases of women
and children, whether offenders or
victims of offenses, subject to the
laws and regulation of the District
of Columbia, and to do such pre-
ventive and protective work as is
consistent with such laws and regu-
lationS.'
The Commissioners will pass on the
bill and the proposed amendments at
board meeting Tuesday morning. The
Womans Bureau has been in existence
for a number of years, but advocates
of the present bill felt there should
be some basic law providing for its
permanent operation.
