SALOONS CLOSED

Law by Police and Not
Wagon Gall Was Made.

Rock Island was sobriety itsetf
Sunday" said Chief of Police James
Brinn this morning. Not a wagon
call was made during the day and not
a drunk was picked up because there
was none in evidence"
The campaign the police started, at
instigation of the mayor and commits
sioners, to hold the saloon keepers,
who were breaking away from the
Sunday closing law, more closely to
the letter of the ordinance, was very
effective yesterday.
The effect of the suspension of the
license to the Turner hall also was in
evidence and the saloon keepers real
lied that the commissioners meant
business.
The result was that friends asked
friends with a wink IL they knew
how to get it, or where to get it,
but a shake of the head and a morose
expression was the usual answer.
The police had strict orders Satur-
day night and Sunday TO watch the
bars.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: VIII you ter
me what would be an appropriate out.
fit of clothing to take on a four weeks
pleasure trip to California?
TRAVELLER
A general utility suit is the first
thing to think of. Have 1t OF a ma,
terial and style that will do for rough
wear and still look well df 1t must be
worn in the afternoon. A couple OF
linen skirts and half dozen pretty
blouses will be serviceable. At least
two rather "dressy'' dresses for after
noon affairs, will be needed would
suggest one-piece gowns of soft silk or
material that can be quickly smooth
ed of wrinkles caused by packing.
If you expect to attend evening dane
es, etc, you will need at least two
dancing frocks and one dinner dress.
These may be as elaborate as you
wish.
California nights are cold. Have a
warm evening wrap.
In hats, have an outing hat for hard
wear, a dress hat for afternoon and
something simple for wear with the
suit A lace hood would do
nicely for evening dress-up. Also, It
might be a good idea to take an auto
hood and large chiffon veil to wrap
about the head.
A long coat, preferably waterproof
ed, is practically a necessity. Also
have a long sweater.
Among your shoes, be sure to have
a pair of heavy, broad-soled, low-heel
ed shoes for tramping. and a pair Of
soft slippers which can be slipped on
In the train as we'll as in ones bed
room. There should be pair Of dress
shoes and slippers or whatever you
prefer, to match the evening dress.
You can boil down these suggestions
TO suit your comfort. When I travel
