TO BE TRIMMED DOWN TO STRAIGHT FRONTS Waldo Borrows West Point Trainer for Month of Army Methods. A condition that might be described as the absence of obtrusive abdomens in the Potice Department i# most earnestly desired by Commissioner Waldo, and to the end that such @ condition may be brought about he has borrowed from the United States Army the man who has for the past twenty years been the chief factor in turning out the trim, straight front officers who command our troops. Capt. Herman J. Koehler, U. 8. A. Physical instructor at West Point, has obtained thirty days’ leave of absence from the War Department and will tn- struct the 600 new recruits to the Police Department in the proper way to stand, move, sit and otherwise physically con- uct themselves. The abdominal excess baggage now encumbering the Police Department can- not be entirely removed, but the Com- missioner intends that the future New York policeman shall be straight, up- standing, slim-walsted, square-shoul- dered and alert. Not only are the 500 new cops now being sworn in to be put etting-up exer jer, but the twenty Il who have been selected to in- future recruits will be grounded in the army method of physical devel- opment. In time “the Finest’ should be &@ force of Apollo Belvederes in pants and blouses. Capt. Koehler, in his West Point work, takes hold of pimply-faced, round-shouldered, hollow-chested, spin- dle-shanked boys, and in thirty days turns them out looking like professional wwingers of Indian clubs. He is a per- sonal friend of Commissioner Waldo, and and enthusiast in physical culture. It fe the expectation of the Commis- sioner that hie new batch of 600 cops ‘will ao inspire, by their military bearr ing and manly beauty, the 10,000 already wearing the uniform that an immense advancement in police pulchiituge will result from sheer force of example.

Park Com- missioner Stover was pastor, sponsor, godfather and godmother. The little chicks to whom were thrown down the dare of civilisation were the five baby lions who first saw light in the Zoo last June. A large wreath of bay leaves was hung over the lion house, where Bis- mark and Helen, real father and moth- er, were quartered with their family. Mr. Stover wanted photographs taken of the impressive ceremony. The light was bad, so the little ones were re- moved to the lawn.

There was no wine, It was a regular Bryan func- | tion. But there was room for all. Commis- sioner Stover said that the litter was the greatest ever known in captwity or in the jungle, He didn't say where he got his jungle Dirth statistics. Six were born to Bismarck and the fair but flerce Helen and one had died. When the dables were born, he said, he re- quested through the newspapers thet the people au African names for them, a, thei ancestors had roared their way through the great African jungles. He got some answers, he sai. He read some of the names suggested. Vor the males there were Pip, Tip and Filp, ‘Mike, Pat and Jerry; Mose, Ephraim, Pete, "Rastus, Rufus and Gam. For the girl Hons there were Sue, Myrtle, A: astasia, Chioe and Judy. There were lot of other names, but none of them suited the classics and Park Commis- sioner Gtover took it upon himself to impart regal names to the baby kings of the s00. He named the male children Menelek, Darfur and Berber, and the females Tana and Juba. He didn’t use any water, and if anybody can tell Darfur from Juba or Berber from Tana, it will be a case of some lion. The babes look as peas in a pod.
