LOCAL POLICE CAN ARREST
 PROHIBITION LAW yIoLATOR

The matter of the local police authori- ties prosecuting cases of illegal sale of liquor was definitely decided by United States Attorney Edward L. Smith in a letter to Mayor Newton c. Brainard of Hartford on Tuesday. A Hartford paper had recently represented Mayor Brain ard as believing that city police had no authority to make arrests of violators of the national prohibition act
 This belief apparently has been gem eral throughout the state but Attorney Smith in his letter quotes the following as his lA Aading of the law:
 Under Title II of Section of the ma tional prohibition act. investigation and prosecution under the act is in the hands of the federal government. This does not and never has prevented the police of any city from arresting any person actively engaged in the sale of intnxicat- ing liquor contrary to the law, and such arrests have been made many times in this state Upon the arrest the federal agents are informed thereof, and the person arrested is taken forthwith on a federal warrant out of the hands of the state authorities Not only have the state officers power to arrest but they have power to act as committing officers, preliminary to trial in the United States court, where the prosecution is under taken and final judgment entered Under Section 1914 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, the powers of state officials are carefully set forth as follows:
 For any crime or offense against the United States, the offender may, by any justice or judge of the United States, by | any judge of the supreme or superior court, chief or first judge of common pleas, mayor of a city, justice of the peace or other magistrate of any state where he may be found, and agreeably to the usual mode of process against offen- ders in each state, and at the expense of the United States.

CIGARMAKERS MAY ASK INCREASE

That the cigarmakers employed by To- cal cigar manufacturers will demand an increase in wages withoin the next few days is the Funor that has reached the ears of the manufacturers, although no definite demand has yet been presented. If this demand is made it will make the fifth incres & asked since the war started. The last increase in wages was granted and went into effect on the 9th of last April.
 It is understood the cigarmakers will ask an increase of s2 per thousand on mold made cigars and s per thousand on hand made cigars. This increase. if granted by the manufacturers, will mean that all local cigars that have been sell ing for and cents will go to 10 cents. Not only will the manufacturer have to pay for the increase of production but will have to pay a government tax of B extra because of the advance in price The tax paid to the government now is s6 per thousand. and if the raise in wages forces the price up into another class the tax will be ss.
 Several local cigarmakers would give out no information as to their intended demand but would only smile and say "prehaps." The manufacturers are up in

Fine For Skin Exposed
 to Sun or Flying Dirt

These days the face needs special care and atte8tion. Flying dust and dirt, the beating sun, are severe on any skin. Their despoiling effects are best over come by the application of pure mercol- ized wax. This keeps skin and pores in cIeanly condition, the complexion beautl- fully white and spotless. Reddened, tan ned, freckled or roughened cutiele IS actually absorbed by it One ounce or nercoIized wax, obtainable at any drug store is sufficient to completely renovate a soiled complexion. It is used like cold cream, allowed to remain on over night, and washed off in the morning.
 Fine lines and even the deeper wrinkles often appear at this season. In such cases nothing is better than a face bath made by dissolving an ounce of pure pow derd saxolite in half pint witch hazel This is remarkably effective.

arms and one stated last evening that if the employees kept on at the rate they are going he would have to close up shop or else give the shop to his employees and work for them in order to make any money.
 The wage scale now paid, according to a manufacturer, enables the employe to make anywhere from $28 to $55 per week. depending upon how fast the em- ploye wants to work. The scale as it stands is such that if a man wants to make more money he can without much exertion. The amount of money he makes lies entirely with himself, said the manufacturer.
 Local manufacturers are of the opinion that the public will not stand for another increase in the price of cigars and that they will take up machine made brands rather than pay the high price for local cigar that only few years ago sold for cents. The local manufacturers think that if the price is raised again both the manufacturers and the employees will suf fer, for the demand will not be as great It is understood that a conference be- tween the cigarmakers and the uianufac' turers will be held today at which de- hands will be presented and the differ, ences talked over.

show majority of ladies "over 21,"
While the cards of 1920 give the

According to the data on the reg

Is the most changeable. those who
were republicans have become DEM

The proportion of Socialists and
Independents registered this year
was much smaller than for the last
six years and out of the four thous-
and cards there is not one Bolsheyiki
registered.
One of the disadvantages of the

a hardship on the candidate who
posts his watcher at the polls and
that Is there is little possibility of
rushing out for voted whose name
appears on the registration books
and who has not voted as that per-

two years ago.
The same disadvantage would
work to a great advantage q a larg-

to find male or female five feet
five inches tall. 3s years old. born in
Wisconsin and not known to the In
spectors. whose name appeared as q
qualified voter on the list and who
had not yet requested a ballot; this
would be duck soup" for a real

The names OF all OF the registered

of each qualified elector to see that
his or her name Is properly register"

Transfers from one ward to ano,h-

Clerk Oldfeld any time before the

over to the inspectors of election at
the various precincts.
The registration books are now

those who were not qualified, by
reason of residence to register and
vote for the primary election may
