Washington, November 24.-(Spe-

liquor law enforcement in Mississippi
according to NJ. H. Daily, federal pro-
hibition director of that state, who
reported personally to Commissioner
Haynes today. He also discussel
Mississippi enforcement conditions

which will eliminate what is known
as the "pauper OATH" which releases
bootleggers and other liquor viola
tors who go to prison to serve out
fines and secure freedom by plead
ing poverty.
The state laws, however," said
Daily, ARE perhaps the most rigid
in the country, and the provision of
$50 reward and one-third of the fines
which most counties grant for detec-
ton of Illicit stills. ELECTS much val

in connection with their activities in
securing cooperation from sheriffs
and other officials, constitute vital
factor in law enforcement in Mis-
sissippi. Women. in my opinion. are
the salvation of law enforcement,
not only in Mississippi, but in tbs
nation. Why, on Information fur

Through the women I am conf

Mississippi. There is very little red

reduced.
Il am glad to report splendid CO.
operation on the part of federal

ments in every case submitted to
them at Jackson, Clark sdale and Abs

in suppressing violations, and in

Indicating cooperation on the part
