IS. LANDES NOW SEATTLE MAYOR; STARTSCLEAN-UP First Day Sees New Police Chief Busily Reorganizing His Force. 811 Times Sveeial SEATTLE, Wash., June 8. —The largest city ever to come under the rule of a woman made its transition from male guidance Monday as Mrs. Bertha Landes took office as mayor. The police force, whose alleged corruption was made the issue of Mrs. Landes’ campaign, was the first to bend to the woman mayor’s will. While Mrs. Landes went through the formalities of taking over the reins of the city her newly-appointed police chief, Capt. W. H. Searling, was busy reorganizing the force. She had named him to bring about "a clean-up” and she watched with satisfaction while he leaped into the task of putting more strength into the arm of the law. Gold Braids Transferred Most of the "gold braids” were transferred for the “good of the service.” Capt. E. L. Hodges and Lieut. George Comstock, who had been permitted to serve under the old adminItration while facing liquor -conspiracy indictments, were left unasaigned in the new order of things.Mrs. Landes was ready to go to work on the first day, but she didn’t have much chance. She sat down at the mayor’s desk and delivered her message to the city council by way of formality, but there was too much hub-bub to permit her to take up routine matters. So she smiled and good-naturedly put off serious things while she posed for camera men, greeted friends, opened many messages, smelled the fragrance of many beautiful bouquets and shook hands. She’s Satisfied But Mrs. Landes was satisfied with the day’s results and to comers who entered her newly painted office she said: “I’m not getting anything done today, but my new police chief is. “I’m not promising 100 per cent law enforcement, but I am promising that an honest and vigorous attempt to enforce the laws will be m-.de.” In her message to the city council, Mayor Landes said: “I am facing my new work with enthusiasm, and with a deep deside to make good. "The problem of law enforcement, which has been a more or less vexatious one, is now in safe hands, I believe. I am promising you that ybur new chief of police will make an honest and vigorous attempt to raise the standard of the performance of our police department very materially.” Mrs. Landes has been in politics only four years. She was elected to the city council in 1922 and caused a flurry when she became acting mayor two years ago while Mayor Brown was attending the national Democratic convention in New York. She fired the chief of police and a number of policemen, but they were reinstated when Brown returned. Now she is having her own way with the police department—and she has shown that her mind hasn’t Changed much. BANK SALE APPROVED State Bank Commissioner Thomas D. Barr has approved sale of the business and equipment of the Bank of Bridgeport, with a capital of SIO,OOO, to the First National Bank of Plainfield.

Puzzle a Day

Lillian Cannon, the plucky girl swimmer, who is now in England, training for a channel swim, was given a beautiful diary by her mother as a parting gift. The book is 72 pages long and contains four sections, named training, diet, amusements and friends. These sections are unequal in length and are divided in such a way that if you add two pages to the training section, subtract two from the diet section, double the number of pages in the amusement section and halve the number in the friends section, the result in each case will be equal. How many pages are there in each section of Lillian Cannon’s diary? Last puzzle answer:

188,

Hidden in this diagram is the Indian prophecy. “ It will rain before night.” This they believe to be the after-result of their primitive snake dance. Start at the point marked “start” and travel in a continuous line over every letter once until you come to point marked “stop.”

ELIZABETH FORMS OWN MORAL CODE “Don’t Do Anything to Hurt Mother,” Is Creed of , Girl Prodigy. This is Anne Austin's final article on tow she raised her “wonder-daushter. Ellen Elizabeth Benson, whose mind is ’ the brightest ever tested.” By Anne Austin (Written*for NEA Service) Today, rather puzzled as to what to say in this article on Elizabeth’s moral and spiritual development. I asked her, “What is your moral code?” “Well, there’s not much of a code to it. I just try to live so that I can keep my self-respect, can look myself in the eye without blushing. I search deep down inside of me when •I am puzzled over a decision as to conduct, and find out what seems to me t 6 be right. Then, of course, I always think about whether anything I do would hurt you, or anyone else, but you most of all.” No Choice as Child I don’t think that is a poor code for a child of 12 to have worked out .for herself.’ When I was a child 1 'was ruled with an iron hand The religion of my family was forced me. My family’s moral code was pounded into me. . I felt that I had no choice 'in anything. As I have said several times before in this series, I recognized Elizabeth’s right to be a person, and all my rules and prohibitions have dealt almost solely with her health and with ordinary daily living—the joint making of a home. I have conscientiously kept my hands off her mind and her soul, believing that they had a right to develop without niterference. She is unselfish, generous to a fault, considerate of the feelings of others, intensely affectionate and yet most of her joy comes from selfcommunion. She enjoys solitude more than any person I know. Out of her communion with her own mind and soul, into which I do not pry, come beautiful confidences, an occasional poem that startles me with its penetfating philosophy and understanding of heights which I have not reached, and short stories and little bits of essays that give me i breath-taking glimpses of the free- ! (lorn and splendor of her uninhibited , soul. Studying Religions As for religion, in the common meaning of the word, she has none. She has, for two or three years, bee r quietly making a study of comparative religions, and at the momen she leans strongly toward Buddhism She believes in a supreme being, or. as she calls it, a “cosmic force,” j which is variously worshipped and j surrounded with pleasing myths by j every race on the globe. What she ultimately comes to believe will belong strictly to her, because she will have found it for herself. When she was 3 years old she began to attend Sunday School, and has continued to do so whenever she pleased. She has read the entire Bible, not because anyone askpd her to, but because she wanted to. She does not believe it is the word of God, but she is deeply interested in the religious lore of every country. Let who will criticise her or be shocked. I contend that it is Elizabeth’s soul and that she has a right to discover the truth for herself. I do not claim to know all the truth myself. Why should I force her to accept orthodox* Christianity or any ottier belief? She is good, she is very conscious of the God force within her, and she is seeking truth. lam content. \ Trained to Tact As for her relationship to society, I have tried to train her to be tactful, considerate and a constructive influence, to respect laws, to allow | others the same freedom of opinion which she herself enjoys. I have also taught “manners” from infancy, as a matter of course. I have tried to set her a fairly decent example, in my contacts with people. As for the rest —her inner moral and spiritual development—she has had complete charge of that. As■ result she is a characterful individual, as distinctly separate from me as if I were not her mother. The relationship of which I am really proud is that she is my best friend.

DE PAUW FEES SLASHEB Trustees Announce SSO Cut Effective Next Fall. Bit United Press GREENCASTLE, Ind., June B. Annual fees, at De Pauw University will be reduced from $225 to $175 next fall, it was announced today following a meeting of the board of trustees. The fees were increased to $225 by the* trustees last January. PARK BOARD QUIZ IS PROPOSED AT COUNCIL MEETING Offensive Also Directed Against City Plan Commission. The Duvall administration Monday night continued its drive to oust park board members and began another offensive directed against the city plan commission through councilmanic investigations. “Why should a man resign under fire?” asked Councilman O. Ray Albertson, who led the attack against the park board at the council meeting. “I think we should look into the charges, regardless of the resignation, of Albert Maguire.” Albertson was named chairman of a committee to report on a resolution to investigate the park board. Dr. Austin H. Todd is chairman of the law and judiciary committee, assigned to decide ffie advisability of delving into affairs of the plan commission, which has been accused of hindering the development of the city.” dies Reports “We should look into the spending of S7OO by the park board for manuscripts, the reports that contracts for Fairview Park and the clubhouse at South Grove were let without competitive bidding,” Albertson said. “Why, the park board is holding up the entire sanitation of Irvington, by not completing the Pleasant Run Blvd. The board has acquired six million dollars worth of ground over the city, without placing a dime of improvement upon it. Albertson touched also on the proposed investigation of the office of John Collins, city purchasing agent, sidetracked by councilmen'favorable to the administration. Matter Not Pressed “I have been informed that bids were let and the orders recalled and let, to firms bidding higher, under the present purchasing agent,” said Albertson. However, he did not press the matter further. Councilman Otis E. Bartholomew, administration legislator, defended the party faith of Frank Driver, named by Duvall to succeed Maguire. “Mr. Driver comes from an old Democratic family,” said Bartholomew- “His father served as a Democratic postmaster undet the Wilson Administration. Os course, he may have voted for Duvall, but I don’t believe a . slip or. two changes his politics.” ■
