WORK OF THE WOMEN
· POLICE:
Mrs. Stanley.perintendent of the Women's Police Furce, giving details of the work of that body, said that: during the war there were two or three voluntary organisations which- -did atcellent service. The conditions then were abnormal, but now that the country is in a more settled state. it was considered that, women eng. aged on police work should come under the constituted police authority, There were, however, other police- women dressed very much like the off- cial policewomen. She added that the real woman in blue could be quite easily distinguished by the letters "M.P.** on her collar, and also by her official numerals. In addition, the official policewoman wears the "on duty bard. The official women's police have formed a division of their own, "ond fave their own female officers.
We are, up to our sanctioned stringib," said Mrs. Stanley, "viz. 100 poucewomen, ten sergeants, an assistant superintendent, and super- intendent." The best answer to the. question, “Do the women like the work?" was supplied by the large number of applications which have poured in. Under the new rates of pay women patrols received 489 per week, rising by 2s a week to 599; sergeants, 505, rising by 2s a week to 70s.
"The women work on the most friendly terms with the men," con tinued Mrs. Stanley, "and do shiits of seven hours, from ten in the morn ing intil midnight. Their work is preventive, and they deal with any marters affecting the welfare of women and children. They have received a thorough training, so that they are able to assist the male police in dealing with street accidents. They have no power of arrest, and the statement that has been made that they have filled the prisons through the medium of the male police is ab- solutely incorrect. We have one wo- man appointed as welfare assistant, and the women patrols take any girl they have dealings with 10 this official, who is in close touch with philanthropic and rescue societies, and by these means the girl is passed on to a suitable home." Mrs. Stan- ley added that the work of the wo men's police was entirely in the nature of an experiment, and she could not state definitely whether the numbers would be increased. `
A CLEAN STAGE.
BISHOP OF LONDON ON VIRTUE OF A GOOD LAUGH
The Bishop of Londor presided on November 4 at a conference at St. Martin's Vestry of representatives of theatrical managers, actors, authors, and critics. The conference was called through the London Council for the Promotion of Public Morality to consider the question of licensing all employers of theatrical labour.
The Bishop of London said that the Public Morality Council was not in the slightest degree opposed to theatres and music halls. He enjoyed a good play as much as anybody else in London. As to the music halls, people must have amusement, and a good laugh did everyone a lot of

The Christian people of London intend to be masters of their own household. and they intend to proceed until they stop this sort of thing. We fully believe the great majority of managers, authors, and actor-man- zgers are also anxious to stop it, and it is not the wish of the great -acting profession to have such things

Mr. Sydney Valentine, President of the Actors' Association, said that the tendency of the theatres lately had been downward. Since the war they had had many cases of roving companies run by men of very low class, who engaged any type of girl, and took them to the small
