While we are coolly clad in linen
or Organdie let US look ahead a bit
and see what we will wear next
winter when we wish to be warm.
In the matter of materials the win
ter things must necessarily be much
restricted. They must be wooden
if they are to come anywhere near
giving an adequate amount of pro-
lection And although one hears
the cry that there is no wool there
is an astonishing variety of wooden
materials on the market today.
One of the most popular of these
wooden materials, the one which
spells luxury above all else, is poi
ret twill A woman who can pur-
chase a frock of this very durable
and beautiful material can consider
herself lucky indeed. The frock
pictured is one of those elegantly
simple dresses which are perfectly
suited for general wear. 1t is navy
poiret twill trimmed with biege
georgette on the odd turnover col
lar and on the belt. The bodice and
skirt are heavily braided. The
skirt shows the tendency of the
coming fashions to tighten at the
ankles and puff slightly over the
hips. The frock is delightfully."- sim
pie and yet it is distinctive withal.

new RULE BINDS
SALE OF LIQUOR
Must Have Either Retailers or
Wholesalers Government LIE
cenSe Before Disposal.
REGULATION RECEIVED TODAY
Will Result in Other Federal Per-
mits For Those DESTROYS OF
Selling Stock

Liquor dealers, wholesale and
retail, operating under or holding
government liquor licenses are af-
fected by a new ruling received at
the office of T. J. Cavanaugh, in
ternal revenue collector, today.
The regulation provides that a
sliquor dealer or former liquor
liquor dealer, having on hand a
quantity of intoxicating beverages,
must if those liquids are disposed
of in bulk to an individual, secure
a retailers government license, fee
for which is $25 However, should
the dealer dispose of his stock to
various individuals or concerns, he
would automatically assume the
status of a wholesaler with the
government, and as such would be
obliged to have wholesalers Ii
cense, fee for which is 500.
Liquors cannot be disposed of
if the license under which the
dealer had been operating, has ex-
pired. For instance, should the
government license of a former
liquor dealer expire Aug. 81, leav-
ing the dealer with a stock of al
coholic beverages on hand, a new
federal license must be secured be-
fore the goods may be disposed of.
Depending upon whether the
liquors are then sold to several in
dividuals or to one person or con-
Germ, is the necessity of a retail
or wholesale government permit.
Must Renew Licenses.
This ruling will force all former
saloonkeepers and liquor dealers in
Rock Island and dry vicinity who
were left with stock on hand
which they plan to dispose of, to
renew expired government liquor
licenses.
