Beavers Thinks Man Can Be Only
Wondering Spectator of Ever-
Changing Feminine Styles.
"Thft question of woman’s dress la
n delicate subject I can’t any what
J would do to prevent Indecorous and
Immodest garb until my attention Is
called to such a case.”
This was the manner In which
f'hlcf Beavers avoided committing
Silmself Friday 1n respect to the pol
icy In several other cities which has
Resulted in the arrest and fining of
vomen who have appeared on the
streets In gowns too daring.
The Chief would talk about wom
an’s dress In a general way, y^s; but
when It catne 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 formH a cycle that re
volves every hundred 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 see
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.
Judge Doesn’t Think
X ray Dress Immoral.
KANSAS CITY. Sept. 5.—‘‘There is
nothing Immoral in the slit skirt and
X-ray gown, or any other present
form of women’s attire,” declared
Judge Ralph Latshaw. of the Crimi
nal Court here, when asked for hit
opinion by persons furthering a cam
paign against extreme styles in dress.

Jersey Patrolman With Wonderful
Tenor Voice Becomes Protege
of Schumann-Heink.
PATKFtSON. N .1.. Sept. 5—E.N
ward J. McNamara, who is known in
this section as “Paterson’s opera-
snnglng policeman," will tour the
T’nlted States in 1914 with Mnrie.
Ernestine Schumann-Heink. the fa
tuous contralto, according to an an
nouncement confirmed by the diva at
her country place at Slngac, near
Caldwell.
Mme. Schumann-Heink first heard
of McNamara last spring when she
read of the preparations for the four-
day musical festival at the Paterson
armory. She was interested in what
was said of McNamara, hi/* voice and
his refusal to leave the police force
for the musical world unless he coufd
be assured of a salary large enough lo
permit him to continue to take care cl
his aged parents. She decided
hear him.
His powerful tenor voice charmed
Schumann-Heink and she compli
mented him.
A few days ago the policeman was
summoned by the diva to her Singac
country home.
She had him sing for her again.
Then she made him an offer to tour
the country with her next year, which
he accepted.
“He is such a nice boy,” Schu
mann-Heink said of McNamara, who
is now 34. “He has a wonderful voice
and I am sure will make a succe.su of
the tour. Of course, he will be called
upon to study, but he Is earnest and
I am confident he will be all right.”

LIGHTNING WRECKS CLOCK.

storm here lightning struck the
courthouse, wrecking the town clock
and doing other damage.

His face was tanned from expos

Sooty streaks showed under his

twinkle or the joy of living. And
as he smiled, clean, white, even
teeth gleamed between his lipf.
He smiled because he was happy
in his work—and his smileand his

good evidence of a clean life.
When Railroads and Police De

Attended Governors’ Conference
and Visited Wyoming Ranch in
Three-Week Trip.
Buoyant in spirit and in health as
a result of a few days of outdoor life
on the ranch of Governor Carey of
Wyoming, Governor John M. Slaton
Friday morning faced a three weeks’
accumulation of work. The Gov
ernor, Mrs. Slaton and Colonel 'and
Mrs. Paxon returned to Atlanta
Thursday night at 10:15 o’clock.
The Governors’ Conference, the
Governor declared, was a huge suc
cess and a royal -welcome was ex
tended to the various executives of
the States. However, as royal as the
reception was, the Governor added, it
was not ud to the standard set by the
old-time Southerners.
The most enjoyable part of the trip,
according to the Governor, was the
three days’ stay at Governor Carey’s
ranch near Cheyenne. Here the Gov
ernor and members of the party cast
aside completely the cares of State.
