THE POLICE GIRLS HAVE SPE- CIAL DUTIES, What are the dut' Well, there are some which they sha: ‘with police boys, and others which «: guite apeciaily their own. Police girls, dike thelr brother officers, are pledged Ye do everything in thelr power toward roeintalning general sanitary conditions im the streets, They wage war againat the selling of food and soft drinks un- der unsanitary conditions, They instruct other children not to throw litter on the sidewalks, but to place it in proper receptacles, They watch fire-escapes and try to keep them clear of rubbish. But the police girl is probably more effective than the police toy in regula: {ng home sanitation, because, natural whe has more to do with th aetivitics, She usew all her zeal and au- thority in enforcing cleanliness and hy Bieno in the rooms where her own fam- lly dwell and in any other tenements into which she may be able to penetrate.

Juries Have Fixed the Damage All the Way From One Cent to $50,000, Although Good Cooke Are Scarcer Than Good Husbands and Rarder to Replace—Is a Handsome Husband | Worth More Than a Plain One? By Nixola Greeley-Smith. What !s the value of a husband's love? Mrs, Joseph A. Blake believes that the loss of her husband's affec tion is worth $1,000,000, and has brought a suit against Mra. Clarence Mackay for that amount. Yester- day Mrs. Blake was quoted as say- ing that Dr. Blake is still in her opinion the greatest and best man in the world. If this is true, or anywhere neat true, the sum of one million dollars is surely very moderate compensa- tion for his affection. Yet no jury hitherto has placed a value com- mensurate with Mrs. Blake's claim upon the loss of that valuable but variable quantity—a husband's love. Alfenation suits for $100,000 have not been infrequent. But in the majority of such cases unfeeling Juries have ‘cut their awards to one-tenth or one-twentieth of th sum demanded. They have even gone so far sometimes as to bring in a verdict for damages of one cent. Quite recently a New York jury gave a verdict of $50,000 in a suit for alienation, but in this instance the affections belonged to a wife.
