Business has made the. mistake ot making alliances with politicians for all sorts of specnd favors, moat of which come under the general head of bonuses and subimles. In such alliances it is always she politician who is' the gainer. His gains come out of the pockets of business. The, ai>»nl comment which oeeura to us is that at least one business J man has accepted *« true the winning answer given in a recent newspaper contest, which ran as follows: "A demes rat is a person' who »*lievrs a repuMwan admi nisi rat ion ia Imd for business. A, republican is a person who lielievas a democratic administration ia bod for business. Both arc right." This was the conception) «»f a woman. It is now, apparently accepted by the president of, the largest busilieee organization in the couutry. The world do move.—- Rushes ter News.

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With Mary Allen London's Woman I’oluen an (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) Many young American boy.s have expressed the desire and ambition to become policemen; visual symbols ot authority supreme. Now this may apply likewise to girls. During the month I have attended several national women’s conventions anti at one I met a modest little English woman wearing a monocle anil the uniform of a London policeman. Observing with keen eyes and asking questions like an inquisitive Yankee, Mary S. Allen of th" famed London Metropolitan Police, was gathering first-hand impressions and real information. Upon her arrival in this country from England Mary S. Allen was greeted by Police Commissioner Enright of New York City, with all the consideration due her position as well as her sex. for a London "bobby" commands respect the world over. From the time she landed on the pier she liegan "inspecting" the methods of police work, and was determined to know Just what the American women were doing and I thinking about. She directed tialTic in New York city and showed no mercy to the saucy flapper chauffeurs. "There is something your Am< clean welcome." she said, "that is ai veritable tonic and stimulates one even beyond physical endurance. I 1 have quite fallen in love with your American women. Women are In gin ning to understand tiyit their net; responsibilities are a serious business and they must catch up with the | procession after years ot inactivity in pubiic affairs.” As head of the London Policewomen. which she organized in 1514. Commandant Allen has already earned effi< lent service at the railway stations, taking charge of women ami children who were strangers, inspecting places of amusements and patrolling public parks.

' * A * MARY' ALLEN says: “There is nothinQ a woman of today resents more than being granted a public honor or being denied privilege* Just because she is a women." spect the work which reflects the zeal with which she entered the cause. She is in the United States to study methods and to get some first-hand knowledge to aid her in establishing a woman’s court in London. week to irland and Germany to inDuring the World War the Police? women In England numbered thojsauds. but since the war have been reduced to only enough to continue the experiment effectively. "There is nothing a woman of today resents more than being grant- I ed public honor or being denied privi- I leges just because she is a woman." Speaking with a decided English I ; accent. Mary Allen mastered a re- ' gular American ‘ Hello’’, instead of “Rlghtto!" on the telephone, with the I same self-reliance with which she I meets Sir William Harwood of Scot- I land Yard, when she is called for a I I conference or a “call-down." Mi*a Allen is an erect, handsome woman, her brown hair, cut short a»d , streaked with gray, smoothed back ; from her forehead. “N’o, we do not permit ‘boldwd I hair’ on the force—the hair must either be cut short or combed high and covered with a net. I wear mine short tecMse the hair pins hurt. 1 do not own a single skirt—l always the uniform, swept when I am home . for the week-end." The Ijmdon "lloblwtte" has not worn a skirt In six-years. She was * keen to interview the bobbed-hair . bandit recently caught, tried and j -eptenced in New York. "It is often eaiser for a woman to stop a brawl than for a man—perhaps it is gallantry perhaps be- ’ cause we are aqrusttomi-d to ‘“tempests in teapots,’ 6he commented in the highly cultured voice of a society leader.
