NEW YORK DAY BY DAY.
*
+ New York, August 18—(By Union
J Associated Press)—Tammany is build
+ ing great hopes in regaining control
•> of the city during the coming election;
4 and, as a matter of fact, the contest
+ promises to be spirited, if rot sensa
+ tional. The majority of the city's
£ 1 newspapers agree that Mayor Mitch
J , ell has given the city an efficient, bus
inesslike administration. There are
thousands of voters who agree with
the newspapers, but charge that tha
* Mayor is too much of an aristocrat.
Many Catholics are against him be
cause of his attitude on public char
ities, so are other denominations.
Hence, it is seen that Mr. Mitchell is
ÿ both praised and blamed for the same
J acts, which nearly one agrees were in
+ the interest of good business. It is a
queer situation and furnishes mater
ial for a three-sides contest.

More Women Chauffeurs.
Many women are taking the State
♦ examination these days and becoming
❖ licensed chauffeurs in order that they
% may be qualified to serve as ambu
lance drivers if they are needed. The
* women generally show an exceptional
'knowledge of the mechanical pr°per
Ues of their car, while they handle
their automobile more skillfully than
many men. While the region immed
| iately adjacent to the metropolis is
I turning out women chauffeurs in
| greater numbers now than up State,
j the same spirit is manifest elsewhere
i with the result that at nearly every
State examination from one to five
women are on hand.

New Brand of Cops.
The New York copy of 1917 will be
a physical prodigy. He will have
slim legs, a belt line suggesting the
wasp and low visibility. He will be
boyish looking, have a clean shaven
face and will have a free, bounding
gait. Many remember the old time
double-action, double-chinnCl cop who
could stand at a corner and quell a
riot with one beclubbed hand in front
of him while he reached the other
hand to the rear and committed petty
larceny from the peanut stand. Just
keep that type of copy in mind and
try to imagine him being ordered to
peel off and step in the "gym" for a I
physical and mental test. The medical
and physical examiners of the Civil
Service Commissions are now examin
. ing 4,000 men who aspire to be patrol
men. An old-fashioned cop would
stand no chance of passing the gruell
ing physical tests that is at present
required for admission to the depart
ment.
Marriage Brokers Busy.
The marriage brokers, or "schat
chens," as they are known in the
Ghetto district of the East Side, are
said to have been responsible for the
recent drive of slackers at the marri
age bureau. It is said that they did
a land office business supplying slack
ers with wives, collecting fees from
both the bride and the bridegroom to
be. The Federal officials learned that i
only a few of the young men of draft
age who flocked to the marriage li- j
cense bureau with alleged sweethearts 1
knew little or nothing of the young !
women they were to marry. The ac
tion of the Federal agents in demand
ing to see the registration cards of
men who sought marriage licenses has
caused the number of applicants at
City Hall for permission to w6d to
fall off considerably. Instead of from
500 to 600 couples the daily average is j
now only about 100.

î BEST SINGLE ADVERTISEMENT
GREENWOOD HAS.
: Mr. J. L, Gillespie, Editor and Pub
lisher Commonwealth, Greenwood,
j Miss.:
j Dear Sir:—I want to congratulate
i you and the people of Greenwood on the
[general character and success of The
Lady Commonwealth. When it was
announced that a Daily for Green
wood was to be launched, in common
with many others, an ambitious ex
cuse from a proud little city was look
ed for, more than anything else. Few
1 believed that the town, as ambitious,
; prosperous, and solid as it is, could
,j or would really support as solid and
j substantial a daily paper as you ars
! p iblishing. Typographically, editor
j tally, in local and general news, and
j in high class, interesting advertising,
lit tanks right along with the dallies
! of cities numbering thirty and forty
I thousand inhabitants. One is able
j to subscribe for it for what it is worth
I—not merely or even partially as A
feeling of local pride or duty. It is th«
best single advertisement the city of
Greeqwood has, A SUBSCRIBER.
