SOCIAL AGENCIES WILL
DISCUSS PoLIcEWoMEN

The Washington Council of Social
Agencies will discuss the proposed
bin to be introduced in Congress to
increase the powers of the head of
the women's bureau Of the District
Police Department, and to increase
the number of policewomen, at a
meeting at o'clock this afternoon
in the Hotel Burlington. John Ihl-
der, former president, will open the
discussion.
Introduction by Congressman
Thomas l.. Blanton, of Texas, of q
bill just before the close of the
last Congress. caused considerable
criticism in welfare circles. The
commission on public welfare legis-
lation refused to indorse the bill
until it had been modified SO as to
give merely a legal standing to the
bureau
Objections are to be made today
that the bill provides too many
new policewomen, and permits too
broad an exercise Of the power by
the bureau.

Brookland- Woodbridge sections of
northeast Washington, where schools
are most crowded and part time
classes are necessary, will benefit
most by the five-year school buiId.

u. Haycock, assistant superintend-
ent of schools.
Out of 1852 pupils attending
three schools in this section, Just
352 children are not provided with
proper facilities Haycock's figures
show.
The Langdon School, Twentieth
and Franklin SITS. n. E.. has an
enrolment Of 342 as against a capac-
lty of 400, an excess of I42 pupils.
The other two schools are about
as bad off, the figures show.

addition for the Burroughs School is
provided for in the estimates for
next year, now before Congress,

WILD BULL BROUGHT DOWN
BY LANCASTER FARMER

LANCASTER, Pa. Dec. 21.-"The
wild bull of Furnace Hills is dead
and residents of southern Lancaster
county are breathing easier. The
Infatuated animal was shot and
killed by Homer White, of near
Lime Rock
Several days ago the animal es-
capped while being delivered to a
farmer and fled to the river hills.
Tales of the maddened animals
actions crept back to the little viii
lagos and men went about their
work armed. When the animal.
driven by hunger ventured nearer
the farm houses. the hunt became
more serious business.
White came upon the animal in a
densely wooded section and fired
twice. Badly wounded, the animal
charged at him, but White held his
ground and fired third shot, which
ended its career.

TALKS BURGLAR
OUT Of S|NAG

NEW. YORK, Dec. 21.-Jimmy
Condor was gallant in his bur-
glary, but he didn't know a wom-
ans way. He's wiser now, but too
late, for Jimmy is in the Tombs,
awaiting the sentence to be melted
out to him today.
Jimmy's is the tale of an in
discreet youth, who entered the
apartment of a woman writer,
found a reception burglar sell
dom receives, even in the best
houses he robs, and was intrigued
into giving back the things he
had stolen. So fully did Jimmy
believe his intended victim was
his friend that he left his name
and address, and that is why the
police found him next day.
Awakens Sleeping Woman
In the early hours of November
%, Condor, under the influence of
liquor, wandered into the home of
Mrs. Angelica Doubleday Troop, in
Greenwich Village where even tales
like this can happen. Mrs. Troops
husband was on a hunting trip.
Jimmy didn't notice the sleeping
Mrs. Troop. He found three cloaks,
one a fur wrap, and with these he
started toedepart. He slammed the
door of her room as he went out,
and Mrs. Tropp awoke. Fearlessly
she donned robe and followed
him to the hallway.
Those are my coats, give them
back she said. why do you
steal? Are you hungry? If you
are, III gladly give you some
money"
Appeals to Better Nature
Dummy never had been appealed
to SO before. Without word he
surrendered the garments.
Mrs. Tropp thereupon gave jim
my IS. She also told him she
wouldn't have him arrested. Prob
ably she meant it, but a woman
may. and does, change her mind,
and Jimmy's experience hadn't
taught him that. At the most.
burglary could be said to be only
a siieline with Jimmy, Tor he
usually has worked as a longshore
man.
Have Long Tete-a-Tete
Anyway, Jimmy gave Mrs. Tropp
his name, address and telephone
number.

For two hours she. and the bur-

On the dressing table he saw

turned. Together they went to a

MEASLES
A Welt In Sleeps Clothing, Ac-
c0rding to Health Officials

"Measles is one of the most treach-
erous diseases we have to contend
with, so far as the after effects are
concerned" says DR.. Riley, chief of
the Bureau of Communicable Diseases
Of the State Department of Health, in
bulletin just issued by the Depart
ment, $50 it is a mistake for parents
to think that it is quite safe to eX-
pose children to the disease on the
ground that it is just as well for
them 'to have it and have it over
Fewer cases of measles have been
reported from the counties of Mary
land during the current season than
at some other times, but the very
fact that many of this years cases
are of the milder type gives all the
more reason for safeguarding not
only children who are i'll, but of pre-
venting others from coming in con-
tact with them.
First, because it is a well known
fact that an apparently we'll child
exposed to a so-called mild form of
any communicable disease may have
the disease in a very severe form.
This is true of all of the children's
diseases-measles, scarlet fever,
chicken-pox, mumps-so the wisest
thing to do is to keep all children
away from the one who has the meas
les, or who has any of the other dis
eases, for that matter.
Second, because the after effects
from mild attack may be quite as
serious as from very severe one.
Measles has been called the wolf in
sleeps clothing because it may mas
querade as a mere case of 'snifies,' a
light cold or even slight attack of
Indigestion. But symptoms of this
sort, if neglected, may lead to seri-
Gus complications-eye, ear, nose.
throat or lung troubles. Pneumonia
frequently follows neglected cases of
measles.
During uncertain weather such as
we are having now, and are likely to
have for some time, it is not worth
while to take any chances. A child
who has suspicious cold should be
put to bed, the family doctor should
be sent for and his advice carefully
followed"
