Among the wise are the Proposed abolition of licenses for private hack stands that have been @o much abused by hotels end restaurants, the taking of finger prints of chauffeurs for registration on police files, and the enactment of a law making the possession of gambling apparatus unlawful. The old issue between the police and the courts is presented anew fn the chowing that during the last year the courts suspended sen- ‘tences in 18,556 cases, including among them 35 for assault and rob- bery, 417 for burglary and 73 for carrying concealed weapons. Fur- thermore, in the period from May 26, 1911, to July 29, 1912, orders were issued by the judges that the police return to claimants gam- Ding spparatus valued at $10,935. Judges are not wholly to blame for weakness of the courts. The laws are curiously kind to certain forms of crime. be deprived of his gambling outfit unless it be proven that the im- plements seized were those in use for gambling at the time the arveat wes made. Nor is that all. In one case a burglar after being con- vieted, and while still in jail, began an action for the recovery from the police of certain articles of silverware and jewelry taken from him at the time of his capture, and the action was successful. Thus we have the police, the courts and the legislature in a triangular duel, and nobody is surprised when the criminal goes free, as TWO VIEWS OF WOMAN’S BEAUTY. HE EXULTATION of women over the appearance of numer- ous examples of the perfect form of the Venus of Milo in our colleges has been beard in London, and Sir James Linton, an artist of crodit and rehown, has met it with the brutal declaration that modern woman is degenerate from art forms. He has had many models. He hes found them all warped more or less by the dress they wear and the shoes they suffer from. As the reports of perfect women come from the directors of gymnasiums in our colleges, we have here a controversy of experts. Is the gymnast that teaches a young woman to punch a bag and do a trapeze act & better judge of beauty then an artist who poses her to model a Venus? The gymnast resorts to measurements. He gives exact figures of height, weight, bust measure, hip measure, length of Unmb and the rest. “These,” says he, “are almost exactly the same as those of the goddess from Mflo; therefore the modern girl must bo as perfect as the ancient.” But the artist does not measure. He sees, or misses, eubtle curves and graces that are beyond the reach of measuring tapes. He demands a beauty unwarped by corsets, a foot unspoiled by ehoes. He doesn’t find it. So while the gym- nasiums are filled with ululstions of triumph, the studios continue to sigh for a loveliness departed from the earth. en CONFUSING THE PARCEL POST. HE ORDER issued from the Post-Office Department that the I new parcel post stamps are not valid for postage on parcels addressed to foreign countries adds a now cause of confu- sion to a eystem that should be as simple as that of any other de- partment of the mail eervice. As matters stand, ordinary letter postage is required in mailing a book, and it must go as third class mail matter; special etamps are required to mail any other kind of parcel to a post-office within the United States, but one must go back to letter postage to send a parcel to Canada or to Mexico. Surely there is no need for these distinctions in addition to those of zones of postal rates. The number of parcels sent out from all parts of the country ‘has amply demonstrated the demand for the service. The people wish it and are making abundant use of it. The rts of the Department should be toward simplifying it. It would be well for Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce and other bodi of the kind to impress upon officiel Washington that if an ordinary stamp is good enough to take a parcel to Europe it might serve to take one a half mile down the road.
