A dark silk dress is one of the

days of early fail always bring a
need for the dark silk frock, and
taffeta o" satin is unusually smart
this year. Satin, charmeuse and silk
meteors are very fashionable, but
they are also very costly, and so the
taffeta frock remains in, high favor
because it is less costly, youthful
looking and. very practical
Here is a very smart little model
made Of navy silk taffeta. The
skirt, which is short and "ather full,
shows the puffed hip effect which is
so very popular even yet, altho it has

Pleating of beige colored georgette
forms insets in 1 he hip puffs and in
the sleeves. This, with ecru lace,
points at the neck, forms the only
trimming. The bodice of the frock is
made in the basque style, reaching
just to the waist. Tight little XII
mono sleeves are also featured. This
frock will be ideal for the fall trav-

Cities turnout the circuit have
found that Mr.. Hill was right in his
argument that league composed of
the present cities would not be "a
success and it is felt in local circles,
that a decided change will take place
before the bell rings in 1921.
With Cedar Rapids. Moline, Rock

nucleus, a compact circuit could be

connection with the four southern
cities. With Danville, DECATUR and

the one mentioned above could be

A recent decision Of the supreme
court of the United States sustains,
the constitutionality of the Sact Of
congress approved by sthe president
on July 3, 1919, known as the
Migratory Bird Act" which was en-.
acted to give effect to the treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain for the protection Of migra-
tory birds in the United States and
Cansda. All question Of doubt as to
the status Of federal laws protect
ing migratory birds is settled by
this decision.

opinion Of the court stated:
Here a national interest can be
protected only by national action in
concert with that of another power.
The subject matter is only trans
itorily within the state and has no
permanent habitat therein. But for
the treaty and the statute there
might be no birds for any powers
to deal with. We see nothing in the
constitution that compels the gov
eminent to sit by. while a food sup
ply is cut off and the protectors Of
our forests and our crops are de-
stroyed. 1t is not sufficient to rely
on the states. The reliance is vain
and were it otherwise, the question
is whether the United States is for
hidden to act. We are of an opinion
that the treaty and statute must be
upheld"

country could polish Beckett off in

hitting and nearly all of them have

told Lippe his plans to get all the
purses he could land and then seek
retirement, title or no title. Beckett
is now worth about $4,000 and he
will get many more thousand in
