The social revolution which started
in with the Roosevelt administration Is
carrying on in truly democratic way,
young women rushing back from psac-
tice at Fort Myer for the Society Circus
next month and into a concert, wearing
their riding clothes and with their crops
whipping the tops Of their natty riding
boots. Going on the same line, many
young folk who roller skate about the
rejecting pool in Potomac Park later
skate along city streets to moving
picture house, and, hanging their skates
over their arms, go in for the picture,
and, ON coming out, replace them and
roll along home.
Women are no longer compelled to
wear unSuited garments to their Gov
ernment offices or rush home for a
hasty change in order to be in keeping
with an audience at concert or tea.
Mrs. Roosevelt sets the pace in simple
suit and hat, such as she might wear
in shopping, and women are falling
in line with gusto. Calls are made in
the same simple attire and the glory
of an Easter parade Is perhaps thing
of the past. 1t has gradually been fad
ing from the picture, anyway, in the

MARKET LOOKS
To IMITATION
FOR RALLY
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

By WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, Nov. 16 0N.SJ.
Yesterday saw a little more con-
fusion thrown into the speculative
picture. The markets again
turned their backs on initiation
and were even weaker than the
day before. Traders by and
large are still convinced there is
an inflationary rise in the max.
ing but the action of neither
stocks nor commodities suggests
this.
The rumor is strong again that
France is going to tumble off
gold. The flight from the franc
is about as strong as that from
the dollar. resulting in a heavy
gold drain on the bank of
France. This can't last nde-
finitely.
French abandonment of the
gold standard would have its con-
structive side in that it would
force early action on currency
stabilizatjon. Otherwise a world
wide currency war would result,
with all that it implies.
That 100000, 900 of American
money reported in London, along
with the funds sent elsewhere,
explains why the markets haven't
gone up, and why they probably
won't do anything spectacular
until this money returns.
The chart boys are again on
the anxious seat trying to antici.
pate the next turn.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16 0N.S0.
Curb stocks held within restricted
trading limits in quiet trading
today, with further gyrationS of
foreign currencies making for
pronounced confusion in specu,
lative ranks.
Here and there, one or two
volatile issues showed marked
changes, but in the main the
run of active favorites met sup
port around previous closingS.
Utilities in DisfavOr
Utilities were once more in dis
favor. Although issues such as
American and Electric, American
Superpower. and United Gas
maintained a steady tone, Elec-
trio Bond and Share dropped to
q new low on announcement that
the usual annual stock dividend
would be omitted.
Consolidated Mining was a
weak spot in the metal list, but
Lake Shore firmed on announce
ment of an extra dividend.
Distillers, Ltd. reached new
high for the year with prices
mixed elsewhere in the repeal
group. Oils also were mixed.
Specialties Easier
SpecialtieS were easier, with
great Atlantic and Pacific Stores
down 2 points,
Cities Service common held
steady. although the debentures
Sagged.
Atlas was unchanged in the
investment trust group.
American Power and Light IS
were weak in the bond division.

BROWN ANSWERS
SHEEHAN LETTER
Chairman Norton Told That Elk.
perienced Men Are Needed
as Inaugural Police.

Maj. Ernest W. Brown, superin-
tendent Of the Metropolitan Police
force, today sent Chairman Norton OF
the House District Committee, a reply
to Patrick j. Sheehan, lit Twelfth
street, who had written suggesting that
unemployed men be put on police duty
ing policemen from Baltimore or other
out Of town policemen.
Chairman Norton had referred Mr..
Sheehan's letter to Maj. Brown. The
latter conferred with Commissioner
Crosby and wrote although no one has
at heart more the interests of the un-
employed, yet I am obliged to stress
the fact that while the object is most
altrutsttc and evidential of the public
welfare, yet the necessity for trained
men. familiar with pickpockets, con
men, f1imf1am artists and criminals
generally Is most urgently indicated.
With the thousand of visitors who
come to Washington during the cere-
monies many criminals are expected.
Our object Is not only to protect the
people OF Washington but visitors as
well and the greatest care must be
exercised to utilize men skilled in the
prevention and detection of crime. To
this end We must bring in detectives
familiar with the criminal element in
tnelr Jurisdiction which makes a prac-
tlce OF working in large crowds such as
Is coming to Washington. The expert
ence OF the past indicates that un-
trained men were Of very little service
