NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-We're just
~ back from lunch at the new
Waldorf Astoria in the Sert room
already famous and the Mecca of
curious visitors because of its walls
paneled in murals depicting the ad-
ventures of Don Quixote.
And our first impression of the
feminine lunchers there-the room
was filled and a line waiting for
places-waS how dressed up
they lookl
1t wasn't tbecause they belonged
to the moneyed class, either-though
most of them did. We get the very
same impression when watching
feminine office workers dash in and
out of their business folks grill.
Bulkiness Has Gone
1t was because of the new winter
coats they are wearing. Anybody
who wears smart this-Season coat
has to look dressed-upl
In the first place all the old
bundly, bulky, overcoat look has dis
appeared. Coats are fitted to the
figure which gives you a much more
elegant, trim look.
The rich furs that are used and
the luxurious ways they're put on
give this dressed-up look, too.
Collars Decorative
SO many of those precious" furs
are being used mink, kolinsky.
Persian lamb, silver and blue fox,
rich Hudson seal.
And these furs blend their color
with the coat color which gives them
a sleeker, more elegant air.
Collars aren't just collars. They're
decorative. One of the most deco
rative is that Vionnet criss-cross
scarf shown on the left hand figure.
You'll see this done in fox, as
sketched, or in Persian.
And cuffs aren't just a band of
fur, either. They make a double

Police Radio, Though Ne1v,
Has Brilliant Record
-: -:

The radio section Of the Metro
politan Police Department will be
two months old Saturday, and in
that time an enviable record has
been set for arrests.
The department maintains 19
scout cars and two cruisers. Each
Of the scout cars works out of the
precinct to which it is assigned
while .the two cruisers are oper'
ated directly from headquarters
and contain experienced detec,
tiveS.
In addition to the continuous
broadcast which is going on un-
der the direction of Private James
L. Kelley. from the Tenth pre-
cinct station, missing persons
report is broadcast every night by
Sergeant Hazlipp, of the Fifth
precinct, over Station WJSV.
HOld-Up Man Arrested
Scanning the radio log kept at
headquarters by the dispatcher
one finds notations like these:
"HOld-up man arrested one
minute after radio report of
robbery had been sent to No. 1
cruiser"
The story back of the report
Is that on February 9 three per.
cny1S caotnd in oo oyYfoyoonIoi1a IN
front Of the Army and Navy Club
were held up at the point of a
pistol. They sent report to
headquarters and a radio report
was sent out at 1928 a. m
ordering No. l cruiser to the
scene. One minute later Emil
Bryan Cundiff was arrested by
the radio squad and was later
identified by his three victims.
Stolen Cars Recovered
A long list of recoveries of
stolen automobiles are reported
in the radio log. One notable
example of the speed with which
the radio cars work was when
Harry Crandall'S car was stolen.
The radio report was made at
1910 p. m, February Is, and the
car was recovered in three
minutes by No. 13 scout car.
On February Is No. 1 cruiser

POLICE SHAKEUP
To HIT SHELBY

With the District Commis-
sioners scheduled to consider to-
day the plan automatically to re-
tire members of the police and
fire departments when they reach
64 years of age, tentative plans
for reorganization Of the Police
Department are understood to be
in the making.
Inspector william S. Shelby,
assistant chief of police, accord
ing to current reports, is to be
relieved of his command in the
Detective Bureau. He will be
permitted to devote all his time
to the supervision of the uni
formed force, which duty he
holds in connection with his pres
ent command of the bureau.
Cant. Frank S. w. Burke, of
the First precinct, is understood
to be under consideration as the
likely successor of Inspector
Shelby. The fact that Captain
Burke is being sent to Chicago
with four other police officials
next month to study balliSticS is
taken as an indication that he is
being grOOmed as Shelby'S sue
ceSSOr.
Neither Commissioner Herbert
B. Crosby, in charge Of police,
nor Major Henry G. Pratt, chief
of police, would discuss the ru'
mors of reorganization today.
The reorganization, it is under.
stood, will go into effect on July
/, when the automatic retirement
plan will also be effective.
Under the proposed retirement
plan Inspector William Harrison
will relinquish his post, IN add
ton to three captains.

Radio Brings Police
In 2 Minutes

No matter where you may
live in the city or what
trouble you may be facing
from the criminal element,
you can get police help in a
matter of two minutes.
With the new radio car
patrol system functiOning

not only to ward off i'm.
pending danger, but to
cause the apprehension of
dangerous criminals.
If your home is invaded
by a burglar or thieves ara
forcing their way into homes
of neighbOrs, do not become
alarmed but phone Ma
tiOnal 1000 and within two
minutes heavily armed de-
tectiveS and police will be
on the scene, as cars are
constantly cruising the
streets and in a flash get
lOOkOuts, together with ad,
dresses and the nature of
the trouble, over the police

PL AN GARAGES
To AID j. 8.
WORKERS
Architects Study Problem Of
Federal Clerk as Regards the
New Buildings on the Mall

Construction Of a number Of
multiple-story garages as a solu-
ton of the parking problem for
Government employees on orty in
the new buildings in the Mall is
under consideration by Federal
officials.
The plan is viewed by the board
of consulting architects as the
most practicable and unitarian
way out of what is admitted to
be a serious problem connected
with the new building program.
Operation Undecided
Whether these garages would
be operated by the Gov vernment
or by private owners is yet to
be determined.
Objection has been raised
against the Government going
into the garage business but
those who have studied the situa-
ton are inclined to favor the
garage solution, particularly since
Cne commerce ana internal rev
enue structures have already been
built without special provision for
parking space.
Outside Triangle Ara
Erection of garages would have
to be outside the triangle area,
it was stated at the office CT the
S1TnorviS5n~ orOhikenf NJ ho Troo
sury under whose supervision the
new buildings are being erected.
Government employees have been
greatly concerned over the lack
of automobile parking provision
in the new building program, and
various solutions have been sug-
gested including the use of base
ment space or the construction of
underground garages.

0nd Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue Northwest.
A report of a burglar alarm in
a house at 2619 Woodley Pl. NV.
brought several scout cars and
the radio cruiser to the building.
1t was found, however, that one
of the occupants Of the house
had been locked out and was
forced to break a glass in order
to get in.
First Aid For Injured
In a number of cases first aid
has been given to accident victims
by members Of the police squads
sent in answer to radio reports.
Several holdups have been
frustrated and numerous robberies
broken up. In many instances
robbers have been captured in the
houses.
One instance Of this was when
a colored man was caught inside
a store on Georgia Avenue North
west. He admitted to his captors
that he had broken into four
other stores.
Commenting on this capture,
Inspector William S. Shelby, chief
oftdetectives, said:
''Were it not for the use of
the radio in this case the rob-
Der might have made his
escape. The radio has proven
of great value to the Washing.

DENY
WAR TRAINING

How to inform the general pub
lie regarding the real ideals and
accomplishments of the military
schools and colleges of the coun-
try was considered at today's ses-
sion of heads of 48 of these in
stitutions, which comprise the AS
sociation Of Military Schools and
Colleges of the United States
meeting in the eighteenth annual
conference at the Mayflower
Hotel.
Instead of cultivating a mill
taristic spirit in the boys attend
ing these schools, the officials
contend. the courses and training
are designed to give academic
training comparable with that
given at the highest ranking edu-
cational institutions.
Are Trained Physically
In addition, the students are
given training in physical fitness
beyond the ordinary and are
given a military training which
fits their graduates to render in.
valuable services in time of war
and in the defense of their
country.
In his annual report, Col. Roy
F. Farrand, president of the asso-
citation, stated that survey made
of activities of graduates of the
school shows clearly that the
habits of accuracy, promptness,
self-reliance, and willingness to
assume responsibility have been
of inestimable value to the in
dividuals.
The meeting this morning was
in the nature of an executive ses-
sion Of the school heads. Plans
for the discussions of the three
day session were made at a din
ner meeting last night.
The session this afternoon is
devoted to relations of the schools
with the War Department. The
principal addresses are to be
made by Brig. Gen. Edward l..
King, assistant chief Of staff;
Lieut.. Col. Ralph M. Parker, of
the general staff, and Lieut.. Col.
Charles H. White and Major LIE
land S. Hobbs, official inspectors
OF the courses in military train
ing and science which are given
at the schools in accordance with
recommendations made by the
War Department.
Study Academic. Problems
The meetings tomorrow will be
devoted to consideration of the
academic problems connected
with the military schools. Re
ports are to. be made by Col. C..
r. EndSley and Major H. A.
Hinman regarding a five-year sur.
vey of the success of students
and tests.
President Frank K. Hyatt, of
the Pennsylvania Military College,
and DR.. Emit D. Grizzell, of the
University of Pennsylvania, will
also speak.
Assistant Secretary of War
Frederick H. Payne is to speak
at the annual dinner tomorrow
night. DR.. William John Cooper,
United States Commissioner of
Education, is to have a principal
part in the program which will
conclude with showing of sound
motion pictures of war maneuvers
held at Fort Benning, Ga.

P. U. c. Investigator Learns
Stock of Local Company
Has Figured in Transfer

Although an Equity Court suit
based on the La Toilette anti.
merger law, may be instituted by
the Public Utilities Commission
as the result of the investigation
into ownership of the washington
Gas Light Company, such pro,
ceedings will not be instituted
until the investigation is com
pleted.
Investigators belief that they
have sufficient evidence to proceed
with the suit, but Assistant Cor.
pOratiOn Counsel william A,
Roberts declared the proceedings
will not be begun until the Depart
ment of Justice has completed its
inquiry.
Stocks Being Shifted
Mr.. Roberts also stated that he
had learned that the stock of the
Washington and Suburban Com
panies, formerly the Seaboard In
vestment Trust, was being trans
ferred to the Westville Trust, of
Illinois. The Seaboard Invest
ment Trust was organized by five
banking groups and bought con-
troll of the local gas companies
two years ago.
The WeStvilIe Trust, a common
trust of Illinois, is owned by Al
bert E. Pierce, president of the
Central Public Service Company,
which has acquired management
of the local companies. The in
vestigatiOn into ownership Of the
local companies is to determine
whether or not any controlling
interest into the local companies
is owned by Central Public
Service.
Findings Submitted
Mr.. Roberts was unable to esti-
mate just when the Department

tigation.
He investigated the formation
of the Seaboard Investment
Trust and the remaining Of the
corporation to the Washington
Suburban Companies recently in
Boston and Chicago, and has sub
mitted his finding to the Depart
