Of all the troubles of the Gould family none has been aired more in the press of late than the marital troubles of the Frank Jay Goulds, who are really, after all these months of indecision, to be divorced. Those who know Mrs. Gould will say that she is justified in her desire to be freed from the shackles that bind her to Frank Gould. A well known club man says that as lie knows both Intimately he considers Mrs. Gould's action only the result of months even years of unhappiness because her love for admiration and attention has been misconstrued by her boy husband.

The strange feature of this graft is found in the fact that it is practiced by women who could well afford to pay for their clothes. Indeed it is of necessity practiced only by them, since to carry out this game successfully recognized social position is necessary. The method of procedure is surprisingly simple. A woman merely decides which dressmaker she wishes to patronize and then orders her dresses. After the order is given she explains that she has a large number of friends whose trade she could bring to the establishment. Moreover she will promise to bring them provided she is to-da- y h n cow-bir- red-hea- d COMMISSIONER anti-noiscrusade, rumors of which have been in the air for some time, has crystallized in the form of a general order, directing the police to stop all unnecessary noises, naming In detail many nuisances the commissioner desires to have stopped. By way of preface the commissioner says the police of this city can put a stop to a large proportion of the unnecessary noises which torment the entire population. It is essential to the health and happiness of the people, says the commissioner, not only that there be no disturbances at night but that the day be as quiet as possible, as there are thousands of night workers who must sleep during the daytime. It is part of the duty on police patrol, says Commissioner Bing ham's order, to see that at least all unnecessary noise is suppressed. It is not desirable or necessary, says the commissioner, that the police make wholesale arrests, but they are directed to take a personal interest in e g O the matter of noise, each man on his own post, summarily to stop all unnecessary noises. In cases where noises are violations of the law arrests will be made. Generally speaking, a public nuisance Is an act that annoys, injures, or endangers the comfort, repose, health, or safety of any considerable number of people. These noises are ordered stopped: of street Unnecessary shouting hawkers. Unnecessary shouting and yelling. Unnecessary blowing of whistles. .Roller skating on the street and sidewalk that interrupts traffic. Whistling peanut roasters. Unnecessary blowing of automobile horns. Exhaust escaping unmuffled from motorcycles and autos. The blowing of horns and bugles and ringing of bells by scissors grinders. The yelling of old clothes men. The yelling of hucksters at night. Kicking tin cans along the sidewalk. Yelling of carriage barkers at theaters and hotels. Flat wheels on street cars. The barking of dogs. The police are directed to see the owners of harking dogs, and if they do not abate the nuisance the police must report the case for action by the board of health. Palace of. Crooks Planned by Authorities establishment will be a stone feet high, on top of which it wall, has been facetiously proposed to install a promenade which In criminal society would correspond to the famous board walk at Atlantic City. One of the advantages of the new site prominently mentioned in advocacy of its selection is Highland lake, which, within a stone's throw, affords fibhlng and boating. There Is to be a library more fully stocked than that of many a city and a series of vaults for the safeguarding of the valuables of convicts. Whether these vaults can be used for the storing of plunder with which a criminal may get away, pending his release, remains to be determined. Music, hot and cold baths and telephones are only a few of the minor features.
