POLICE STATION AND FIRE HALL DO[LED
 UP BY CHEF GUEST

Chief of Police Robert Guest is about one of the busiest men in the city. It is a certainty he is the busi- est city official As a result of his activities the police station and fire hall is gradually taking on many new colors for the chief has been yielding a wicked brush lately. Walls have been painted, new partitions erected, the hose room and a specially con- structed hot air room for the hose built in, windows cleaned and last of all, the fire truck now glistens like a silver sheen. On the truck the chief has used much elbow grease. The ladders on the truck are resplen- dent in a new coat of paint as are oth- CT portions of the truck. The hardest task of all is the overhauling of the hose which, it is stated, has been in a terrible state, considering it's cost and newness. It's a pleasure now to walk in the fire hall for above all, things reflects cleanliness.

GIRLS SECRETS HERS

Mary Hamilton, head of the New York City policewomen, undoubtedly knows more about the pitfalls that lie in wait for the unsuspecting girls than any other living person. She knows what is the magnetic lure that draws girls to the nations me tropols from al over the country and she knows the dangers that en- compass them when they arrive. Finding these girls and sending them back to their sorrowing parents is one of the many big tasks included in her daily duties.
 It is principally through such cases that Mrs. Hamilton comes in con- tact with the police of hundreds of town and cities throughout the Un- ited States. Taking her profession of policewoman seriously, as would be expected of one who had both studied and practiced sociology be- fore assuming her present office, Mrs. Hamilton keeps in the closest possi- ble touch with all police or court cases involving women throughout
Seward daily gateway., 1926-07-01

the whole country. This experience she insists discloses the fact that New York is no more lure for the thousands of missing girls reported annually than is any other center Of population.
 In her opinion nothing can be done to reduce this swelling tide of er- rant girls until parents awake to the fact they themselves are to blame.

Commission definite effort is being

but in undesignated amounts so that
each cause will get its proportionate
share.
Receipts BY States
The receipts for 1925 through the
various state offices were as follows:

$239 1896; Dirtrict of Columbia.

The remainder of the s9,200000 re-
ceiyed in 1925 consisted largely OF
special gifts to foreign missions and
the building fund of the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary.
An outstanding feature Of this ef-
fort Of the Commission is a special
cash ingathering for the month OF
April when every one Of the nearly
100000 white Baptists Of the South
will be asked TO make as generous
an offering as possible to the whole
Cooperative Program this money to
be distributed proportionately among
the seven general causes embraced
therein.

As an example of the way in which

movement of farm products to mar.
kets, there is the lighting Of Hylan
Boulevard, across Staten Island, y. Y.
This highway is used extensively
every night for taking produce and
other farm products into New York
City from New Jersey by automobile
trucks. 1t is customary TO ferry from
Perth Amboy to TottenviTle, proceed
along Hylan Boulevard across Staten
Island, and ferry from st. James to
Brooklyn or New York, thereby elimi-
mating the congested traffic along New
Jersey and in New York City. Much
of the traffic is at night, SO that the
produce arrives at the markets early
in the morning. Hylan Boulevard is
now the best lighted rural highway in
the United States"

The smartest hat for wear with a soft chiffon afternoon frock is a picturesque affair with close-fit- ting crown and a wide, dropping brim, considerably broader at the sides and front than in the back. The popular millinery fabrics are milan. visca, horsehair. balli-buntl and leghorn.
 Trimmings on hats of this char acter are amazingly. simple gros grain band, cocarde or decorative ornament of some kind taking the place of the elaborate flower and feather fancies of other years.
 Sketched today are shining eX- amples of the wide -brimmed hat, a type now in demand for both town and country wear.
 In the upper sketch is a beguil- ing broad -brimmed shape of black milan straw trimmed with a band of black velvet ribbon that ties on one side in a soft knot. The two ribbon ends fall slightly over the brim. thus increasing its appear ance of width.
 Below is an equally effective model of garnet-colored horsehair, trimmed with velvet ribbon to match.
 The two hats sketched are stun ming examples of the popular broad brmmed shape. The materials arc black milan and garnet-colored horsehair.

surdly like anticipation. which made me remember suddenly the many little economies she was practicing. l had surmised the reason for her thrift, her ambition to have a real home ready for her idolized daughter upon her first long vacation from school. But surely she was too sen- sible to practice her economy at the expense of nourishing food. Yet the gusto with which she attacked the eggs and the waffles which Katie brought in to her was that of a per son who had breakfasted insuffi- ciently. I resolved to keep an eye upon Lillian, whose sanity, boise and generosity make her a tower of strength to her friends, but who is sadly lacking in judgment as to her own needs.
 "Ede Will Telephone You"
 Whats on your mind, Lil?" Dicky asked as he finished his own breakfast.
 "A dress for Marion" she replied, (which I want Madge to help me select. I know what I want for her in color and line, but Madge supplies the style sense, and also the knowl- edge of texture and quality which l lack"
 "So you're going shopping!" Dicky said, and there was a subtle disappointed intonation in his voice which made me look up quickly.
 "Why?" I asked. Did you want me to do anything for you?"
 "No-o," he returned slowly. Not exactly. And yet-when will you be back home again?"
 I looked at Lillian and her re- sponse was prompt.
 "Oh! we'll be all through before lunch-time," she said.
 And you'll be home this after noon?" Dicky asked.
 "So far as I know now" I re- turned.
 He rose from his chair with a courteous word of apology to us, stood for second or two in ap- parent indecision; then he spoke ab- ruptly.
 Well, Ede will probably tele- phone to you this afternoon" he said.
