Mayor Paoncssa recommended that the charter be amended so that policewomen can be appointed. This suggestion met with approval in the common council and wil now be passed on to the committee on cities and boroughs of the legis- lature, Judge B, W. Alling showed his appreclation of certain condi- tions by appointing a permanent woman probation officer, Policewomerf, now on duty in many cities, have proved that they can function successfully where nmen would fail. With the new free- dom of the sex has come need of resgraining license, Women, like men, sometimes mistake license for | freedom and when this occurs it is | necessary for society to step in and call a halt. The appolntment of women to the police force is a sign of the times. The day — or night — when self respecting women remained | home after dark, unless escorted by a protecting male person, has passed. Being out in the evening does not indicate lack of character in a woman. The emancipation of woman is complete. She votes, eats in one-armed restaurants, walits for her turn in barb shops, smokes and drinks in public without any apologies. Sober-minded —women realize that this new-found free- dom is being abuscd by some of their little sisters, who have not awakened from their daze at having obtained it. And they are among the first to approve the appoint- ment of women officers of the law because they know that regulation is necessary. In explaining hls recommenda- | tion_for policewomen Mayor Pao- i | nessa said he had been informed that girls who attend dances smoke and drink in the. dressing rooms. | It it is proper for men to stroll out | between dances for a smoke it can- ! not be such a horrible crime for girls to do the same, But drinking, well that's another mattér. Many girls are eaid to carry small flasks under their garters and from thes ) they imbibe when the desire for | stimulant, vulgarly called a “kick," asserts itself. Drinking in dance hall dressing rooms by either sex should not be tolerated and if the | girls are doing it they should not | have any more leniency than their brothers. The selection of a woman for permanent assistant to the proba- {ion officer i8 a step in the right di- \ rection. Children are more amenable | to adyice trom a woman, whose in- tuition assists in handling cases with diplomacy and sympathy alien 140 the sterner sex. It is also proper | that she should have cases in W hich members of her own sex are prin- cipals because she can talk to them more freely and with greater con- sideration for their problems. The day is not so far distant | when we should have women in the common council. There are several who have demonstrated their sound udgment and ability in other pub- lic offices and there is no reason why they should not sit with the law making bod like New Britain, is suf- from growing pains as re- flected in a demand for better and more 00l accomnrodations, The problem is becoming more acute in the Bell City but the citizens are their duty without flinching investing heavily in Bristol, ring weing ind buildings.

Never mind, it doesn't matter, Who- ever sald it was right. It proef of this is needed, it is necessary only to turn back the pages of the news- papers for a foew days and read of the swindle of a large number of hard-working housewives by a slick gentleman who Induced them enroll in a elub with the expecta- tion that they would get something for nothing, The agent's game was to ecollect a small amount of money each week from members of the club. At the end of the week a name would be drawn and someone wouyld get a set of dishes. Jor scv- eral months the smooth-tongued agent, who had winning ways about him, succeeded in enlisting a large number of women in his club. No one with whom members were acquainted ever won. Then the bubble burst. The only winner was the gentleman who was collecting the money. He will have the pleas- ure of explaining to a judge of the superior court. There's a moral in this. Trade with men who are in one spot long enough to become acqualnted. Trade with merchants who have cs- tablished a reputation for integrity and who will make an adjustment it their wares are not up to the standard represented. Distant hills look green and distant china sets look pretty but it would be to the advantage of buyers to do their purchasing nearer to ftheir Conducting clubs must be a profitable business, It is said that a stack of cards five inches high and containing the names of women in this vicinity was found in the office of the company “giving away” the sets of china. All were “members” of the club.
