Two Days a Month Off. The board also voted to request the common council to amend the ordinances to grant the request of members of the department that they be given two days off each month. The council will be asked to grant this time off without disturbing the policemen’s regular vacation of 14 days a year but the police board will recommend that the sick leave be reduced from 14 to 7 days a year.

Commissicner Lange expressed the opinion that trafflc men are needed at several factories during the rush| hour and he thought some attention should be given the matter. Com- missioner Jackson moved that Chief Hart attempted to make an arrange- ment with the factories concerned whereby supernumerary officers in their employ would be allowed to leave thelr work ahead of time so they could don their uniforms and do traffic duty. It was thought that would be the cheapest and most ef- fective way of solving the problem. Commissioner Lange believed | the factories would be pleased to co- operate and that the situation. would be relieyed. The motion was passed. Extra Protection in Morning. Chief Hart explained that he had 80 changed the time for muitting of patrolmen on the beat in.the vicinity of Booth and Myrtle streets that an ofticer would be on duty until 6 o'clock in the morning instead of 4 o'clock. This protection had been requested by residents of that sec- tion. At the request of W. L. Hatch, sec- retary of the Boys' club, C. B.

Peo- ple with low shoes can now still wear these shoes without danger of catch- ing cold—if they have arctics, David R. Manning of the Walk Over Shoe company sald this after- noon that four cases of arctics were received last Friday and were sold by Saturday night. Mr. Manning and others sald that manufacturers are promising shipments, but until the demand slackens they can not fill the orders. One local dealer personally visited factories in Boston and other large citles In an effort to secure a ship- ment, but his order was refused as the factories were so short of them. Morris Allison said that never be- fore in the history of the Modern Tloot Shop has the demand been so great as it has been this winter, The Besse-Leland store and the Al- ling Rubber company have also re- ceived promises of shipments from the factories and wholesalers, when these shipments will be received they cannot tell. Freight conditions have held back deliveries, they say. “The demand for women's low shoes this winter has been three times that of any other year and conse- quently the demand for arctics has been correspondingly heavy,” said Willlam A, O'Neill, manager of the shoe department of the Globe Gloth- ing House. *“There has also been an intense demand for men’s arctics and for heavy, work arctics. So we are in the same boat with other dealers.” JOE KIRKWOOD WINS Australian Goufer Wins His First Tourney in the United States, in Defeating Smith on Coast. San Francisco, Jan. 10.—Joe Kirk- wood, Australlan golf star, won his first tournament in the United States yesterday when he defeated Macdon- ald Smith in the play-off of the Call- fornia open championship here.. The scores were, Kirkwood 77 and Smith 79. The match was played over the San Francisco course, a real test of golf, with a stiff wind blowing across the course from the Pacific ocean. Although the par of course, 71, is a mark that has stood the test against all great golfers, Kirkwood and Smith did not play well today. Smith was very erratic with all of his shots on the outgoing nine holes and took 43 strokes to make the turn. Kitkwood had a 58 for this nine. Coming back Smith got going and played up to the expectations of the large gallery which trailed the pair. It was Kirkwood who was playing poorly on his 9. However, his large lead on the outgoing round enabled ' him to get home just ahead of the Californian.
