One of the many problems New York's police force will face during the democratic convention next month win be to rid the city of characters known in police vernacular as "crashers' and "mashers. This task has been assigned to Capt- Mary Hamilton, director of the feminine bluecoats. A crasher is a person, male or, female, who craves excitement, company and entertainment, and, not having the funds or the connections necessary for a legitimate satisfaction of the craving becomes addicted to polite "sponging." The chronic crasher and masher, according to Capt- Hamilton, are always seen at large public functions, political demonstrations, banquets, theatrical first-nights, big funerals, art exhibits an? society weddings.

They dress welL Their manners are irreproachable. THey are, to air appear-" ances, the acme of culture and refinement. In they sometimes outshine the company they keep in these respects. Capt- Hamilton 'knows dozens of them. Strangely enough, the crashers are mostly women.

But that other bane of the metropolis, the masher, is usually a male, as Capt. Hamilton testifies, and as police couit records bear ample witness "Sometimes we call them crashers, she explained." "We also know them, however, as chow chasers. or-'outsiders, or 'bean-pickers. "How do we spot them?

Late returns which came in too late for counting Saturday night, will be counted Monday, and will increase the total to some extent, it said. Response to the plea of the "poppy girls was' usually prompt and generous, and all prices, from 10 cents up, were paid for the red blossoms. Business men, laboring men, women, and children purchased the poppies, and it was not long before practically every city block was blooming with the flowers worn on coat lapels and coats.

aged woman noticed a poppy seller on a downtown business cor- ner. and fumbled In her well worn leather purs for a. coin as the girl gayiy sold poppies to a group of men. The aged woman waited patiently, unsmiling, as the men laughingly pinned the cheerful colored poppies to their coats and on their way Timidly she approached the gtri and offered a coin for a Cower, and then held it in her band as though it were a treasure. My two sons never came back from France." ahe told an interested observer.

'Bnt if I can in any way aid some other mother's crippled son I want to do it. Bat selling was not always attended with pleasure, as some of the poppy girls could testify. Although discourtesy was rare, it cropped up in spots. One man. apparently prosperous and Intelligent, appeared to be quite insulted when asked to buy a poppy for the aid of crippled soldiers.

I won't do it," he said, flatly. The government takes care of the soldiers! I have heavy taxes to pay, and I will not contribute to taking care of government charges! And the poppy girl was speechless under this unexpected declaration. Happily such cases are the exception. Even children, clutching a nickle or a dime, would part with it eagerly exchange for poppies. It was expected that the poppies all will be sold by night.
