HEAD OF WOMEN POLICE TRIED IN WASHINGTON Lieutenant Van Winkle Is Charged With Being Insubordinate. BY CONSTANCE PRESET,. WASHINGTON, April 11.—The most important event to women in the capitol was the trial before a police board on charges of insubordination of Lieut. Mina C. Van Winkle, of Washington's police force. Sho is the-lieutenant in charge of the House ,gs Detention and is director of the Woman’s Bureau with about twenty policewomen o nher force. It seemed as if not only Mrs. Van Winkle, but women in public office, was on trial. The board room of the District of Columbia commissioners, where the trial took place, was crowded with representatives of both local and national women's organizations and social workers not only from Washington. £\it from New York and Philadelphia. Every since the charges of insubordination to a superior officer were preferred against Mrs. Van Winkle by the assistant superintendent of police, the case has won nation-wide attention. That is not only because of Mrs. Van Winkle's official position, but because of her own personality. She is considered the leading policewoman In the country today, being president of the National Policewomen's Association. But more than that, she has an independent position which would win attention anywhere. She happened to take up this work because cf being in Washington during the war. Before that she was a prominent suffrage worker and club woman in New Jersey. Sbe still keeps np her interests in these activities, being one of the most popular and best known women in the capltol's public life. Although her position is r.ot a presidential appointment, sbe is usually included in the so-called “woman's cabinet. * But still more contrary to one’s usual conception of what a policewoman should be or look like. Mrs. Van Winkle, being a widow of independent wealth, is always charmingly gowned gnd owns some Invely jewels, which one Is apt to see her wearing at lnnchen or dinner at the smart hotels or restaurants. None of Washington's policewomen wear uniforms, so Airs. Van Winkle presented the usual figure of a woman of the world seated beside her counsel facing the trial hoard comprising the assistant corporation counsel of the district and two police captains. What caused all the fuss was the detention of two 16 year-old-run-away girls found at the railroad station in hoys* clothing after the detective bureau claims it had ordered their release. It seems they were brought in at half past one In the morning and Immediately put to bed. At seven the detective bureau telephoned wanting the girls release Immediately because their fathers had followed them from Brooklyn. But . Mrs. Van Wfnkie, who was reached at her home declined to release them with- , fill first having given them breakfast, secured girls' clothing and had them in- ! (erriewed for the records she is obliged to keep. Both of the girls had been found with concealed weapons, one with a loaded revolver and the other with a Knife, which somewhat added to tha.l complication. However, the important point made was that Airs. Van Winkle claims she did j not disobey any orders since an order ] issued March 1 by Major Sullivan, super- \ lntendent of police, had riven her all ; Jurisdiction over such cases, in place of ’ the detective bureau as heretofore. - The trial board completed the hearing of testimony today but has- reached no decision. Some people say It Is all a “tempest In a tea pot." hut nevertheless the outcome is being watched with keenest interest. The consensus at the trial today was that Airs. Van Winkle had J come out with flying colors, whatever the board's decision on charges of in- j subordination may be, since all her su- j perior officers on the police force praised her and her work most generoosly.

POCKETS, BUTNOT FOR USE

Now that she’s got ’em, what does she do with 'em? Nothing! Time was when a set of pockets on a woman's frock proclaimed It a house dress, the logical Idea evidently being that a woman was engaged in household tasks she needed some place to put odds and ends. But nowadays all kinds of informal frocks are equipped with pockets. The pity of it is that so few of these pockets are ever put to any practical use. Is it woman's vanity and a haunting fear that she will stretch them nr.d make them baggy and shapeless that prevents her ?kpm using? Or has her pocket sense become atrophied through centuries of disuse—centuries men had all the pockets and women enjoyed only silly reticules? / Except when r. woman whishes to strike a defiant pose she rarely puts even the-*tips of her fingers Into her things which she mig'jt so conveniently carry In th&m she carries somewhere else. Sketched today are two Jersey frocks, each with pockets, and each an exponent of simple smartness. The one-piece Jersey frock, though not an original creation of this season, is as popular as the day It was first introduced. The fact that jersey comes in many lovely shades of all the popular colors makes it a desirable fabric for Informal wear One of the most striking Jersey frocks seen in a New York shop recently was of beige Jersey combined with a soft shade of delft blue. Beige and brown combination are also very stunning, providing that just the right brown is chosen. Beige is one of the season's best colors, and brown, In any shade, promises to supplant black In popular favor. Smalley Chosen Bank Examiner Charles AY.

And suddenly, jln the midst of indifferent things, she I told him, “I say, Alarko, I'm going to | marry Lord Tybar.” [ And his reply, the model of indifference, j “Are you, Nona?” / ! lie came upon the picture of himself alone with Nona-alone with her, watching her beautiful face—and saying to her* “Look here, there were three things 1 you said, three expressions you used. ; Explain them. Nona. Explain ‘There!’ with your clove off. Explain ‘Fotsam.’ Explain "AVell. f had to come." Explain them. Nona for God's sake." CHAPTER V. i 1. * BiTfr-1t was October before he asked her to explain them. The Tybars, as he . learnt wh?n he next met her, a week ; after her visit to the office, were only at Northrepps for a breathing space after their foreign tour. Through the summer they were going the usual social round, ending in Soctland. Back In Ocj tober for the shooting, and wintering there through the hunting season, j There was the occasion of a little dinner party at Northropp's to which ho had come With Mabel; Maj. Hopscotch Millet and one or two others were among the guests. Nona came with them to tb*> door on their departure. Sabre was last down the steps. “AVell. I shan't see you again till October,” she said. “No, till October." He had no more than touched her hand and turned away. She wa3 close behind him. He heard her give the tiniest little catch at her breath. She said; “Shall'l write to you, Marko ?” He turned toward her. She was smiling as though it was a chafing remark sbe had made. Her shield! And he answered her from behind his own shield. “Ob. well. I'm bad at '.“tters, you know.” But their eyes met with no shields before them; and she was wounded, for he just caught her voice as he went down the steps, “Oh, Marko, do write to me!” He got Into the cab Major Millet had taken the seat next Mabel. As the horse turned, Mabel inquired, “What was Lady Tybar talking to you about all that time?” He said, “Oh, Just saying goodby." But he was thinking: “That's a fourth question: Why did you say, ‘Oh, Marko, do write to me'? Or was that the answer to the other questions, although I never asked them ?” CHAPTER VI. T. A draper occupied the premises oppo- I site Fortune, East and Bahre's. On an October afternoon, just before 5 o'clock. Sabre saw Nona alight from her ear , and go into the draper’s. He put on ; bis hat and coat and descended into the j street. As he crossed the road she came out. • “Hullo, Alarko!” “What about having some tea somewhere ?” “I think that's a good idea.” He suggested the-Cloister Tea Rooms. She spoke to the chauffeur and accompanied him. Nona began some account of her summer visitations. Sabre spoke a little of local businesses. But the subjects were but skirmishers thrown out before dense armies -of thoughts that massed behind; met. and trifled, and rode away. When pretense of dragging out the meal could no longer be maintained, Nona looked at her watch. "AA’ell, I must be getting back. AA> haven't had a particularly enormous tea, but the chauffeur's had nope.” Sabre said, “Yes. let's get out of this.” It was as though the thing had been a strain. 1 He *put her Into Hk* car.

so very, very quiet. Ho said, "I've half a mind to drive up wish you. I'd like a ride, and a walk back." II They were within the gates? It had been a dull day. Evenlssg stood missily far up the long avenue of the drive and in the distances about the park on either hand. Among October's massing leaves, a small disquiet stirred. The leaves banked orderly between their parent trunks. Sabre noticed as a curious thing how, when they stirred, they only trembled in their massed formations, not broke their ranks, as If some live thing ran beneath them. He said, “Do yon know what this seems to tnet It seems as though it was only yesterday, or this morning, that you 1 <-ame to see me at the office and we talked. Well, I want it to be only yesterday. I want to go ou from there.” She said. ' Yes." He hardly could bear the word. He looked at her. She wns as tall as he. Not least of the contributions to her beauty In his eyes was the slim grace of her stature. But her face wns averted and he wanted mostly terribly to see her face. “Stand a minute and look at me, Nona." lie touched her arm. “I want to see your fa - e ” She turned ‘award him and raised her eyes to his eyes. "Oh, what is it you want to say, Marko?" There was that which glistened upon her lower lids: and about her mouth were trembling movements; and in her throat a pulse beating. He said, ‘lt's you I want to say something. I want you to explain some things. Some things you said. Nona, “I ought to have married you, Alarko." when you came into my room that day andfhnok bands you said. “There!" when you gave me your hand. A'ou took off your glove and said 'There!' I want to know why you said There!' And you said, ‘AVell, l had to come.’ And you said you were flotsam. And that night—when we'd been up to you—yovf said, ‘Oh; Marko, do write to me.' I want you to explain what you meant." She said, “Oh, bow can you remember?” He answered, "Because I remember, you must explain.” “Please let me stt down, Alarko.” Sbe faltered a little laugh. “I can explain better sitting (town." A felled trunk had been placed against the trbes facing towards the parkland. They went to It and he sat beside her. She sat upright, but bending forward a little over her crossed knees, her hands! clasped on them, looking before her across the park. “No you must look at me." he said. She very slowly turned her body to- ' wards him. He thought her most beautiful and the expression of her beautiful face was most terrible to hint in all his emotions. 111. She epofee very slowly; almost with a perceptible pause between each word. She said, “AVell, I'll tell you. I said •flotsam,’ didn’t I? If I explain that—you know what flotsam is, Marko. Have you ever looked it up in tile dictionary? The dictionary says it 1 -rrible. ‘Goods shipwrecked and found floating on the sea.’ I’m 28, Marko. I suppose that’s not really very old. It seems a terrible age to me. You 'see, you judge age by what you are In contrast with what you were. If you’re very happy I think it can’t matter how- old you are. If you look back to when you were happy and then come to now when you're not, it seems -a most terrible and tremendous gulf—and you see yourself Just floating—drifting farther and faither away from the happy years and just being taken

In those two years when wo were away It got awfuL In those two years when we were away it got awful. In those two years I knew I was flotsam. One day—in India —I went and looked at it in the little dictionary in my writing case, and I knew I was. Do you know what I did? I crossed out flotsam in the dictionary and wrote Nona. There it was, and it was the most exact thing—‘Nona: goods shipwrecked and found floating in the sea.’ I meant to have torn out the page. I forgot. I left it there and Tony saw tL!’ Sabre said, “AVhat did he say?" In all sbe had told him there was something omitted. He know that his question approached the missing quantity. But she did nqt answer it. He nkd desired her to look at him, but it was he who had turned away. He sat with his head between hig hands, his elbows on his knees. She repeated, with rather a plaintive note, as though in his pose she saw some pain she had caused him. “You see I had known you all my life, Alarko ’’ He said, still looking upon the ground between big feet, “But you haven't explained anything. You’ve only told me. You haven’t explained why.” She said with astounding simplicity, “AA r ell, you see. Marko I made a mistake. I made a most frightful mistake. I chose. I chose wrong. 1 ought to have married you, Alarko.” And his words were a groan. “Nona—Nona ” (Continued In onr next lame.)

Aillitary training as a means of combating the softness of mind and muscle which the speaker said were insidiously creeping into the national life of the country, was proposed by Gen. L. R.

START THIS TODAY— Five girl friends of the bride accept her invitation to lunch. They are eager io learn how she and her husband are faring In their odd endeavors to keep marriage from interfering with their individual freedom. “T tell my husband everything!" announced Mary Smith as sweetly as briefly. “Consequently you believe he tells you everything?” queried Jeanne. “Os course he does!” Mary's kind of posittveness is possible only to those whose opinions are rooted In convention. “How perfectly pathetic!’’ exclaimed Bonny, incorrigible flapper. That child! Daring to imply, that Mary’s faith in her husband was pathetic! “1 wnnt to say to yon, Peg, as the only other married girl present, that It's best to tell your husband everything!” Mary continued. “It's the only way!” "The only way—if It works both ways!” commented Jeanne. “If he tells, too!” “How perfectly hectic!” Our flapper turned to me. “Feg! You'll make .Tack utterly conceited if you let him dream that ol’ Friend Bart is a stranger to vou—Just because you're married! Dor t' Don't let youl; husband fancy he's the only man you ever look at! Keep him guessing—if you want to keep him at all!" “‘lf I want to keep him at all?’’’ I repeated. “Why suggest as soon that there's a chance I may lose him?” “Don't flare up, Mrs. Madison!" drawled Bonny. “And do quit playing Miss Innocence! -That’s last century stuff! Don't you read? Don’t'you go to the movies? And to shows? Lose him? Why blind yourself to Fate?" Jeanne, then, to Bonny: - “Peg knows! Else why should she and Jack start out to reform marriage?” “But we haven't!” I protested. ‘‘Jack and I don't want to reform anybody! We simply claim our right to live our own lives in our own way! I want to be myself! Jack wants to bo himself! So we have agreed not to hamper each other. He’s free! I’m free! And that's ail!” “Goodness! That’s all the people in the divorce suits want!” put in Bonny. Then Mary Smith, as always when we

In speaking of the Government's plan of hospitalizing Its veterans, Mrs. Cudworth said: “If the Government's plan would only work out as it has been drawn up It would bo excellent. But it doesn't. Proper hospital attention Is provided for, so is the matter of compensation for the confined ex-service men, but many, many times we have come In touch with cases where these were urgently needed but to which no attention has ever been given. “The medical treatment the men are receiving is adequate in some hospitals, in some it is only fair and in others, I regret to say, there is neglect apparent. It is to make these things better that we are working. “The homes of these men are also visited regularly by our workers. Here, also, we have found many cases where the non-receipt of compensation is causing suffering. One work in this field is to bring a personal contact between the men In the hospitals and their families.”

We knew the answer so well that any reply seemed superfluous. Nobody spoke for a long time. Finally .Tcnune Alison laughed : “Since no one objects. F think we may conclude that marriage is good enough—as is!” “Marriage Is all right!” Bonny was positive. “You girls think I’m precocious. You're always wanting to say, “Little girls should be seen and not heard!” “But I know a few things. I've found out heaps about lore. Girls ought to know. And If I loved as every girl wants to love and If I were loved as every girl wants to be loved, do you think I'd look at any man but my one man—forever?

SUFFRAGE NOT CLOSED ISSUE, SAYS SPEAKER Two Important Matters Still Unsettled, 'Asserts Mrs • Walter Mayer. “The Idea that suffrage is a closed issue is a mistaken one,” according to Mrs. AValter Mayer, In a talk on "Women in Suffrage” before the Aionday Club at a meeting in the Propylaeum Aionday afternoon. ‘While it is true that the women of the United States have been given the right tc vote and hold office, there are two important issues still unsettled in the question of ‘equal rights’ for the newly enfranchised sex. The first is that of nidmagement in political parties—whether men are to be given the preference when party chairman are selected, or whether women are to be permitted to exercise their right to serve in such capacity. Men say wz have not had sufficient experience to hold these positions, but if we are never to be given a chance at them, how will we ever get this necessary experience? LEGAL DISABILITY IS SECOND ISSUE. “The second issue, which is attracting the attention of suffrage workers, is the question of legal disability, and this question is of added interest because of the fact that the women are divided among themselves regarding it. On one side are the women who would do away with the State laws which discriminate against them, even though in so doing they relinquish also the laws designed to favor and protect them. They wish to compete with men on equal terms and expect neither favor nor sympathy. Opposing them is the more conservative class, which believes woman, by reason of her function of maternity, must necessarily be favored under the law and prefer to keep the laws which are unfavorable to them if in this way they can hold on to those which protect them..wit is a problem which will not be easy of solution.” Airs. John Downing Johnson, who for many years has been active in women's political movements, expressed dissatisfaction with politics as she has found it in her discussion on “AVomen in Politics.” “Asa young girl,' I learned politics was only next to religion in importance. The political parties of those days carried on the ideas of their forefathers. But there have been many changes In politics since those days—and not for the better. I do not feel that either party Is above criticism. They are not doing the things the American people had hoped would be dona. SAYS AVOMEN FIND JOB DIFFICULT. “AA'omen went Into politics to elevate It, but they have found It a difficult Job. There is too much trickery, too little appreciation shown for the work we have done. AVe need not expect the men will ever do anything for us.” Mrs. Johnson declared that she was not alone In her disappointment over the conditions which women have found to exist in this new field. A prominent woman worker in the Republican party, sbe said, declared herself heart broken over the discouraging situation and declared if women were to accomplish anything they would have to have their own party. “It is my hope, however, that the next few years will see anew party of able men and women organized who will uphold the true American spirit of our forefathers.” Her plea to the women of the club was that they sacrifice parties for principles, inform themselves along political lines and keep In touch with the activities of our city government. Other numbers on the afternoon program were a paper on “AA’omen in Literature.” by Airs. Fred AV. Shidler, in which she reviewed the contributions which women writers have made to literature since the eighteenth century; vocal solos by Mrs. Ned Clay, accompanied by Mrs. John B. Rees on the piano, and a clever demonstration of the right and wrong ways to use the telephone, including views of the switchboard operations and motion pictures of the exchange were shown through the cour. tesy of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company. Dr. Bishop*s Talks By x-R. R. H. BISHOP. EAV people ever heard U" ,' \ i " of mastoiditis. ” ' It was not nntil ” one of our late great statesmen was ® threatened with this malady that it Jumped suddenly Into the limelight, Si AVhat is it? Mastoiditis is tha name given to aa ove-rflow of pus .. frotn an inflamed “middle ear” into the mastoid cavities, which lie directly back of and horizonal to the ear. There are three parts to the ear. AVe see only Xhe outer car, that part of the human anatomy which transmits sound to the middle oar. This is the eardrum, resembling in function the vi.

The inner ear serves as the needle of the human dictaphone and the brain is the record. INNER EAR, The inner ear is where the most dells cate parts of the ear are located. It contains the nerves which transmit the sound Impulses to the brain. The middle ear is also connected with the back off'tha throat by means of the eustachian tubes. When the throat or ear becomes inflamed, this is a source of considerable danger. The worst feature about mastoiditis Is that nearly any Infection or inkamma-t tion either In the ear itself or in the nose or throat, anything from an ulcerated tooth to a common cold may start the disease. it gives little warning, except for the feeling of stuffiness that accompanies almost every cold. When a case develops, an operation Is almost always necessary, since the pug In the cavities, besides causing cons siderable distress, may seep through ta the brain. That may result la death o J , Insanity. The operation Is a serious on* but not uncommon. One attack of mastoiditis does not render the victim lxnmnna to later ones. If anything, It seems to make him slightly, more liable to another one! To avoid a case of mastoiditis, taka care of colds, especially In the ear. Beware, also, of abscessed or ulcerated teeth. USE SCISSORS. A pair of scissors will be found more satisfactory than a knife In cutting ofß the fins and tails of fish when cleaning them.
