\ debate on the proposed blue

fore the Women's City Club last night
with Joseph Burkart. Washington at
torney, denouncing the proposal as un-
necessary and an infraction. of person
al liberty and with Rev. Robert w
Martin of Pittsburgh upholding the
Lankford bill. No vote was taken by
the audience.
Mrs. Nina Van Wrinkle, head of the
Woman's Bureau of the Police De.
partment, who is chairman of the rec
reational committee of the club, pre-
sided.
During his argument Mr.. Burkart
declared that Washingtons police
women "are doing more good than
all the clergymen put together"
Mrs. Van Wrinkle interrupted him
to say that that was overstating the
question and placing q responsibility
for the spirituality that her police
women could not live up to. IF we
are good policewomen," she said. 1T
is because we were given religious
training"
Rev. Martin insisted that the Lank-
ford bill was misunderstood and de-
clared that it would not prohibit Sun
day amusements if there were no ad-
mission charges. The bill would serve
to take the commercial aspect out of
Sunday, he said.
Mrs. Grace Keefe, representing the
National American Athletic Fedora
ton, spoke of the benefits of athletics

though carried along by breeze, with
ripples showing now and then along

with the strongest points of glow ap-
pearing at the crest of each wave.
