Women were taught police regula-
tons, first aid, jiu-jitsu, how to
search and to detect crime. There
are 80 policewomen on the London
force today and they are kept busy,
particularly among children and reck-
less adolescents: and in the investiga-
ton of evil domestic conditions, for
vast numbers of children must first
be rescued from their own parents.
There is a National Council of
Women at work in London, studying
the new opportunities for woman to
make herself useful in protecting the
home from without as we'll as within,
and there is a saying, what the Ma
tional Council of Women decides to-
day, England will decide tomorrow"
In France, where women have
always had 80 much influence, there
has been a curious resistance to the
official recognition of their right to
the vote or the control of their own
property. The idea of policewomen is
repugnant to the French people, and
has made no Roadway, while in Ger
many every town of over 5000 popu-
lation has at least one woman on
the force. In Czechosloyakia the idea
has met with such great enthusiasm
that in the city of Prague alone there
are a hundred and thirty. three police
women.

A BERKELEY, California, hus.
band, believed that a fellow
tOwnsman had stolen his wife's af-
fections. A friend agreed with the
husband. So they took the interloper,
gagged him, and hung him By the
heels in an attic for an hour and a
half. During this time they be-
labored him with a rubber hose.

We were there, and we aided, be-

we were sure that something ought

And there's only one way in which
that scar can be healed or the smirch
Cleansed.
It can't be done by beating up some
one else, or shooting someone else, or
suing them in court, or slandering
them in public. Your honor can only
be healed and cieansed by your own

When you try TO heal them in any

while the city employs thirty patrol
women, so police matrons and othe-
women attaches totaling at least 275.
Connecticut has a state force Of
women police. Canada's first police
woman was appointed in 1918 at To-
ronto, where there are five policewom-

have women police.
In 1914 Mrs. Wells began the or
ganization Of the International Asso-
citation Of Policewomen, modelled on
the International Association of Po-
lice Chiefs. Their effort has been
to educate public opinion, to secure
educational opportunities for students
of police ambitions; to encourage
legislation. the recognition of the dig
nifty Of the office, appropriate uni.
forms and pay. and the exchange of
information. Their guiding principle
is the undeniable, but generally Ignor-
ed, truth that women are better fitted
than men to understand and overcome
the temptations of other women.

WOMEN LEARN LAW.

By the time the war ended. women
had learned q deal of law. of man.
agenent and OF the need of their CO.
operation. Men had learned that there
were great public services to be done
that men could not do. So women
were reluctantly recognized as of
value in the prevention and punish
ment of crime-particularIy the pre-
vention.

that city, and soon thirty cities had
women police. One Ohio city had a
woman az police chief for two years.
Then the World War plunged US
into the same spiritual and physical
chaos that had stupefied the nations
of Europe. The charity workers recog.
nized as q distinct phenomenon what
they called the patriotic prostitute.
Organizations of women throughout
the country attacked the evils seething
about the enormous camps where the
concentration of soldiers concentrated
ruipous emotions.
SHAKEN OUT OF PRUDERY.

possible to say, but the nation was

HISTORY or MOVEMENT.

In this fascinating volume the his
tory of woman's conquest of the police
field of America is fully recountcd.
As early as 1916 the American Fee
male Reform Society secured the ap-
pointment of six women matrons in
New York City-the first in this coun-
try. The Women's Christian Temper
hnce Union turned its attention early
TO this field and visited prisons and

But the results were too tragic not to
be resisted.
Right next to one town in England,
where there were only 10000 people
all told and perhaps 5000 young wom-
en-, a camp Of 5000 soldiers was
maintained. The emotional turmoil
can be imagined.
NEED BORN OF WAR.
Something had to be done, and since
the men were all needed for the war
and were worse than useless, were
positively dangerous, as protectors of
women, good women volunteered in
great numbers to warn. shield and re-
store their weaker sisters.
The difficulty of handling such mat
tiers and the ease with which the best
intentions can blunder was shown in
the drastic order one furious general
gave. he thought he could protect
his warriors from the girls by simply
announcing that his military police
would arrest any woman found on the
streets between sunset and sunrise.
Eager youth laughed at this solu-
ton. The women simply collected
quantities of liquor indoors and await
ed the throngs of callers. The situa-
ton was worse than before as it so
often is when might tries to compel
right.
In such cases, the Women yolun-
teers were of immense assistance.
They could watch, discriminate, ad-
wise, intervene and weed out the Vi
cious from the merely emotional.
In Zeppelin raids they helped to
get the women and children to shell
ter. In the munition factories where
armies of women toiled, a thousand
women acted as police to quell the
riots and separate the Amazons.
