W TTrF ATT A NT A GEORGIAN AND NEWS. POLICE BEIT Beavers Thinks Man Can Be Only Jersey Patrolman With Wonderful Tenor Voice Becomes Protege of Schumann-Heink. Wondering Spectator of Ever- Changing Feminine Styles. "The question of woman’s dress Is a delicate subject. I can’t say what I would do to prevent Indecorous and Immodest garb until my attention Is called to such a case.” This was the manner in which Chief Beavers avoided committlnK himself Friday 1n respect to the pol icy In several other cities which has resulted In the arrest and fining of women who have appeared on the streets in gowns too daring. The Chief would talk about wom an’s dress In a general way, yes; but when it came to setting the line be tween modesty and immodesty or to divulging what he would do If the limit were overstepped, he was silent. Chief Beavers Is a firm believer In the theory that the history of wom an’s dress forms a cycle that re volves every undred years or so. He would not be surprised If, in due time, the fair sex reverted to the hoop skirt with Its picturesque accessories. Neither would It astound him to sec the Roman style of dress in vogue again. Man can do nothing except In the role of an innocent and wondering spectator. His attitude, the Chief thinks, must be strictly neutral. If the fad for X-ray garments and such like begins to hark back to the days in the Garden of Eden, then it be comes a matter for official comment for the protection of the community’s morals, but the Chief does not think the styles have developed—or revert ed—to this extent.

I was talking, one day, with the driver of a giant locomotive that helps draw the Wolver ine” from New York to Chicago. His face was tanned from expos ure to the rushing winds that swept past the window of his cab. Sooty streaks showed under his clear eyes, but in them was the twinkle of the joy of living. And as he smiled, clean, white, even teeth gleamed between his lips. He smiled because he was happy in his work—and his smile and his clean beantifulteeth were pretty good evidence of a clean life.
