Your Stetson, Sir

Stetson is a synonym for
hat, and for hat quality. 1t is
class unadulterated and TN
adorned. Always smart, but
never snappy, it is the fitting
complement to the better
dressed mans attire, as well as
a compliment to his taste.
Check up the cloakrooms of
the leading clubs and hotels
and you will find the Stetson
label in seven out of every ten
hats.

DRINKERS TO FURNISH
CLEWS FOR LIQUOR RAIDS
Order Fails to Tell HoU Infor-
nation Will Be Forced.

Police Commissioner Enright per-
sonally sponsored the police order OF
Sunday initiating the Mount Vernon
system of making intoxicated persons
and policemen divuge the source OF
their contraband supply. Chief In
spector Lahey said yesterday that he
had received the order directly from
the Commissioner and merely had
passed 1t along. He could offer no sup
Elementary explanation.
Commissioner Enright could not be
reached TO comment on the order. John
A. Leach. Deputy Commissioners. also
was away. Recent remarks of the lat
ter regarding intoxicated patrolmen
may have been partly responsible for
the order.
The order did not say how an intoxi-
cated policeman would be asked "a
make affidavit about where he had OBJ
tanned liquor. whether as soon as ar
rested or reported TO his station house
or after he has recovered.
Private citizens also will be ques-
toned regarding their Source of sup
ply when found publicly intoxicated
On their information the police will be
expected 10 make raids.
The order emphasized the l o'clock
closing law and directed commanding
officers to determine whether restau-
rants and dance halls 'harbor an unde-
sirable element after that hour"

COURT GRANTS STAY
OF BUS INJUNCTION
Appeal Will Be Decided After
Observation-Disclosures Con-
tinue to Run.

Supreme Court Justice Mullan granted
a stay yesterday in the injunction pro-
ceedings brought against the city and
the owners of the municipality operated
buses pending appeal to the Appellate
Division from his decision in favor OF
the petitioner.
AS the Appellate Division has a
crowded calendar it Is likely the appeal
will be decided after Christmas. The
buses probably will continue to operate.
After a morning hearing by the Board
OF Estimate in the City Hall temporary
revocable permits were granted to 400
operators OF these buses, run under SUI
pervision of the Department Of Plant
and Structures. The resolution passed by
the board unanimously had been pre-
pared by John p. O'Brien, corporation
counsel Its adoption was greeted with
cheers by the many bus owners, who
crowded the chamber.
The permits are good during the
pleasure of the board. Their terms pro-
vide that ) per cent. of gross receipts
are to be turned into the city by each
operator, and in addition they are sub
Ject to all other automobile taxes and
iHust permit inspection OF tnelr DOCKS
by the Comptroller at any time Here
tofore the city has derived no revenue
from this source Five cents is to be the
legal fare. 1t is provided further that
each bus owner. upon obtaining his per-
nit. shall Immediately apply to the
Transit Commission for q certificate of
convenience and necessity with respect
to the routes herein described This
statutory formality Is one which the
Eoard OF Estimate and Commissioner
Whalen hitherto have not thought 1t nee
cssary to observe.
Every operator-owner also must OBJ
tain liability insurance. At present each
bus carries liability policy OF $2,500
which is sum fixed by the State.
Mayor Hylan expressed thanks for CO.
operation in the matter OF the buses
to George McAnemy, chairman of the
Transit Commission. The latter after
the boards action, said he could not tel
whether the arrangement made would
be satisfactory TO the commission until
after IT had been reviewed by Clarence
j. Shearn, special counsel.
The four primary points upon which
the commission had insisted. he said
were that the statute should be obeyed
which compels application to the COM
mission for a certificate OF necessity and
convenience that the city should derive
some income from the gross revenues OF
the buses that the bus operators should
file a bond. and that theit activities
should be under the supervision OF the
Transit Commission.

the local market also declined sharply,
the net drop amounting to from 20 to %

came as a result of the refusal of buy

In the women's neckwear trade bertha
collars are selling well. Retailers, as
rule, did not anticipate such strong
demand for this description and left a
good part of their usual seasonal re-
quirements unbought. AS a result both
manufacturers and wholesalers are re-
ceiving daily large batch Of rush or.
ders from merchants. Wide collars are
popular. the one most in demand being
that which reaches to the waist. The

also are we'll bought. Peter Pan collars
with V front are particularly popular.
while bateau goods. especially those de-
signed to fit almost any neckline. are
