CONTINUE
HELPING
POLICY

Three important Government de-
partments-Treasury, Justice ana
Commerce-will maintain a pohcy
of close cooperation with business
during the new Administration. 1t
was made. known today.
A minimum of interference with
commerce and industry is planned
bv Attorney General Mitchell, espe'
cisllv as 10 application of the anti
trust laws.
Advice to Be Given
The method of permitting big cor
porations to lay the details OF con-
templated mergers and consolida-
tions before the Department of
Justice for approval will be con-
tinued. Col. William ]. Donovan,
Assistant to the Attorney General,
inaugurated this policy and Off
cials consider that it saved both
the Government and business time
and money.
At the Treasury Secretary Mellon
probably will extend the principle
of settling income tax litigations
outside the courts. This plan of
settlement, through compromise be-
: tween the Treasury and the tax
payer, resulted in widespread critl-
cism in Congress, principally be-
cause of large refund to the
United States Steel Corporation.
Inherits Good Organization
Secretary of Commerce Lamont
inherits a smooth working machine,
built up by President Hoover, in
a department which more than any
other is in direct daily contact
with the business interests of the
world.
The system of maintaining
large number of committees of bust
ness men to assist the department
in working out various economic
problems will be continued. About
100 of these committees were Sc
lected by Mr.. Hoover. They are
functioning in virtually every field
of foreign and domestic commerce.

LAST Of FAMED
COPS DEAD

NEW YORK, March 7 Q.N ST.
Eddie Glennon is dead! '..
That means nothing to the mod,
ern generation of New Workers. To
old timers, however, the mention of
Eddie Glennon brings memories of
gang warfare, a free and open ten
derloin. vice and graft.
Eddie Glennon, or properly speak
ing Police CapS. Edward Glennon,
was the car of the tenderIoin when
New York was a wide open" town.
He was the friend of Commits
sioner Big Bill" Devery, the only
man inside or outside of the police
department that the boss" trusted
and no policeman dared question
his words or orders.
Glennon was born in Second Ave
nue., and was appointed to the po-
lice department as a patrolman in
1885. Slowly, but surely, he as
cended the ladder until he became
a captain. Although he had never
drawn salary larger than 81, 400
Glennon is said to have died a rich
man.
Along with Devery he was dis
missed from the force for neglect

were made that they failed to sup
press resorts in the tenderloin. In
1895 both men were reinstated.
He was again found guilty of
neglect of duty in 1908. He ap-
pealed to the APPELLATE division of the
supreme court, which affirmed the
conviction.
The court of appeals reversed the
decision and ordered new trial
which resulted in his acquittal.
A month later he was reinstated
by Commissioner Greene and sent
to the old Mulberry Street Station
as a patrolman. Within the next
two years he retired on a pension
Glennon was q years old.

To Have
BETTER AIR
Photo by international

A modern ventilating plant, SINH
lar to the one installed in the House
chamber last fall, is now being con-
structed in the Senate chamber.
The system is being installed as a
substitute for Senator Copeland's
plan to move the Senate chamber
against the outside wall of the
Capitol.
The air system will cost about
$4,000. The proposal to move the
CHI mber would have cost S500,o0o.
In fact, Congress had already appro.
priated that amount.
The appropriation will expire June
80 1880. It was planned to move
the chamber during the long recess,
but the special session proposed for
April interfered.
The appropriation will die, there-
fore, before it can be used, and 1t is
hope the new ventilating system will
improve the air so there will be no
need of moving.

The Washington Times, Smart
Set Magazine, and other represen-
tative American newspa pers have
entered into a pleasant search.
They have promised to show to the
world the Typical American Girl
and have instituted nationwide
search.
An award Of $4,000 awaits the
girl who bears out the ideals of
American womanhood and is repre-
sentative of the mould from which
all the goodness of womanhood
sprang.
Shes Like This
A set of rules have been pro-
mulgated by Smart Set Magazine
for the Quest. The typical Amer
lean is over 18 years of age. She
cannot nominate herself, but must
have her name sent in by some
individual, organization, school, or
the like.
Her nomination must be accom-
panied by her photograph, bio
graphical sketch, listing age. height,
weight. coloring. education, and her
social. business and athletic ac-
tivities. Her qualifications will be
considered by the Quest Editor who
will let her know if she has been
selected
Letters describing the Typical
American Girl have been received
by the cooperating newspapers all
over the country. Most of the
letters set high marks for the
Typical American Girl to shoot at.
Some take her as the average girl,
others the genius, the exception.
Only the readers of the Times.
Smart Set. and the other cooper
ating magazines can tell what the
Typical American Girl should be.
Might Be There
There is a girl in that little sea.
side bungalow who might be the
Typical American Girl. The girl
who smiles at you from behind
the counter of the restaurant might
also be her, Or she might be the
pretty miss who Is digging away
into her books Then again the
Typical American Girl might be
the "flapper." Who can tell until
all have been nominated.
Nominations are now in order.
lf there is a girl you thlnk Shouln
bc entered in this search send in
her name and the other things re-
quired and she might have the best
chance of being selected.
Several men have suggested that
the girls who married them and
who are now making their homes
like home should be called the TyD-
ical American Girl. One of them
says:
my most typical American Girl

The typical American Girl has
an appreciation of life, is willing

they come and can see the sun
shine behind every cloud. She has
a great interest in humanity and
likes to watch her fellows. Work

create a new Federal Communications

the corporation was now laying a 5000
mile cable from New York TO Cuba and
down the east coast Of South America

The early mobilization of a con-
siderable part Of the first 81 an
nuities. to give the creditor powers
important sums available for the re-
duction of their own interior debts.
The annuities are Invisible into
postponable and non-postponable
parts, but there is no distinction in
the report between the part of the
annuities applicable to reparations
and the part attributed TO payments
OF the creditors war debt.
The report in fact, seems to avoid
carefully any coincidence between
references to reparations and debts.
The unconditional part of the first
81 annuities amounts to $4,000, 900
gold marks tabout Ss,400,0o0) Q
year, OF which 500, 00o, 900 gold

BY special arrangement among the
creditors France Is accorded the
bulk of the unconditional annuities
for conlmerciali5ation purposes. 1t
is calculated that this will give

francs.
The offer Of the United States

in the report. The rest Of the cost
Of occupation will be liquidated in

The experts dwelt especially on
their attitude toward the CONNER

have tried to substitute processes of
peece-tine methods for wartime
psychology
The frst part Of the report is
largely Introductory, It deals with
the terms under which the repara-
tions problem was referred to the
committee and it also gives Q recital
of the meetings that have been held
The next chapter is devoted en-
tirely to the commerciali5ation pro-
gram. II emphasizes the efforts to
convert what has been q political
debt into business obligation
through the floating of part of the
bonds.
The later chapters say that the
different governments interested will
take concerted action concerning
floating of the reparat tons bonds in
various markets. But any creditor
nation is permitted to float in its
own country as large an amount of
the bonds as is desired for refunding
of internal debts.
