NEW YORK’S FIRST POLICEWOMAN

THIS Is Mrs. John S. Crosby, president of the Women’s Democratic club of New York, who has accepted the badge of depw sheriff from Sheriff Harburger. “My club has always advocated policewomen,’’ she said, after getting the badge. “I will do anything lam expected to do in the preservation of peace and morality. 1 am a suffragist, but that will have no bear: ing on my work as deputy sheriff. I would arrest a suffragette just, as soon sb any other person if she ware breaking the law. If they try breaking windows, Y’ll pull them in.”
