(Onpyrinht. 1021, by The Orenonlan.)
NEW YORK. Dec. 3. (Special.) It
Is a question whether the women
traffic police or Edward rage's gold
fish made the bigger record this
week. Both were unique In their
way. Both accomplished the hitherto
Impossible. Whatever altruistic mo
tives the milk wagon drivers may
nave had when they went on strike
some time ago, among those motives
was not that of giving women a
chance at a job held exclusively so
far by. men. What our grandmothers
might say about a woman in uniform
doing duty as a regular traffic of
ficer would probably be, as the
lamentable expression goes, a mouth
ful. Yet quite indifferent to grand
mother or to tradition, 220O women
members of the police reserves
stepped forward to replace the men
who have been transferred to strike
districts.
A snappy lot they are. nicely set up
in dark blue uniforms, blue felt hats,
black leather leggings and Sam
Browne belts. Police whistles are
also an Important item of their equip
ment. Versed in road and depart
ment regulations, the lady cops are
empowered to direct traffic, serve a
summons, make an arrest, stop a run
away, and otherwise behave like real
officers.
'Women Are Serene
At the street crossing where a long
line of motor cars imperils the groups
of scampering pupils, you will find
the police women serene amid the din
of horns and flash of wheels. It was
a cold and violently rainy morning
when first they went on duty, yet
they faced the weather dauntleesly
and took whatever came with unpro
tected heads. Up went a small hand,
reinforced by a steady glance from
the eyes below the blue overseas cap
and traffic stopped. .Just like that.
Dead in its tracks. "Gently and swift
ly the lady cop ushered bands of
youngnters across the street toward
the school building, while truck
drivers and motor men wagged their
heads In admiration. Then tro-r-r-r!
On the police whistle and forward
sped traffic again.
In the morning, at noon, and again
at the hour for closing school, these
women appear at their stations. So
far no driver has had the temority or
the discourtesy to disregard a signal,
and "no driver hadn't better," as the
experience of diaries Brower attest
ed, Charles, a motorman, halted his
car in response to a signal and then
discovered the officer to be his wife.
She is captain of the reserves. As
Charles recognized his wife, she blew'
the whistle for traffic to advance.
But Charles remembered something
he wanted to say. "Hey, Mattie," he
called, leaning from the vestibule of
his trolley, "I forgot to tell you
that"
Stern Rebuke Administered.
"Did you hear me blow this
whistle?" demanded the traffic cop,
sternly; "get a move on there, before
I hand you a summons."
Charles accordingly moved.
The Chinese language Is to be
taught at Columbia college. The
teacher is Ma Soo, a Chinese journal
ist, and will give instructions in the
reading, writing and speaking of his
native language. This is a town
where English is spoken only Inter
mittently, at least the kind of Eng
lish that ah Englishman understands.
At any rate. It will help a little to be
ehle to read one's laundry check. And
what a satisfaction to curse out the
laundry man in his own tongue.
( Community Building AidcM.
BROWNSVILLE, Or., Deo. 3. (Spe
cial.) Among numerous activities at

strel show by the American Legion

FEDERAL HUXTERS AXD TRAP
PERS 'SAVE LARGE SUMS.
Many Bobcats, Lynxes and Coyotes
Eliminated From Livestock
Ranges In Oregon.
Government hunters and trappers
employed by the predatory animal di
vision of the department of agricul
ture have been responsible for the
destruction of 156,150 wild animals,
according to a report that has been
issued. The campaign1 has covered a
period of six years. During this time,
in Oregon, there were 12,624 animals
killed.
Of this number 10,351 were coyotes,
2045 bobcats and lynxes and 43 moun
tain lions.
The elimination of these animals
from the livestock ranges has meant
a saving of thousands of dollars. In
Oregon the chief worry of the live
stock man Is the bobcat, lynx or the
coyote. An extensive campaign is con
stantly carried on not alone by in
dividuals but by the predatory animal
division of the government.
In Texas during the six years 1566
wolves were killed by the government
hunters and trappers. This figure is
lndepen-dent of the" efforts of the
ranchers and stock men. who have
poisened many of the animals. Ne
vada leads the other states in the
killing of coyotes with a total of 27.-173.
