adjustment and the sort of scarf that should go with it. The collar has deep, peaked points, slightly diverging. It is made of the same material as the shirt or the semi-soft white webbing cloth. The accompanying four-in-hand may be of spotted foulard or crepe or poplin silk.
 In choosing your summer collar, be sure that the size fits your neck and the shape befits your face. Long points are not flattering to>some features and. for these, the shorter, round-cornered collars are preferable. In the last reck- oning, style is simply becomingness to the individual. Moreover, whatever is uncomfortable is unfashionable. To be in style, you need not suffer polite martyrdom.

Thr0aty And Nasal Tones Arc Dis.
 dressing On High Notes
 Little runs and quirks are the characteristic feature of Syrian tunes. Syrians produce a tone that is both nasal and throaty when they sing, and they cultivate break in their voices, something like sob, which is quite distressing on high notes. To western ears their, tunes are sometimes quaint, but often not even that.
 When several sing together, how ever, the effect is more interesting. The singers stamp their feet to beat time, and those who are standing by listen ing like to clap their hands in rhythm, often keeping up this accompaniment several seconds after the singing has ceased. ry

POLICE SHAKE-UP
 > FOLLOWS SHAVING
Chicago Detective Chief Re-
 placed After Investigation

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-A shake up in the Chicago police department as the result of the investigation following the staying of Dion O'Banion, gang leader and gunman, today resulted in the demotion of Chief of Detectives Michael Hughes, one of the best known detectives in the country.
 Capt. William Shoemaker, who took a prominent part in the solving of the Franks murder case, succeeded Hughes as detective head. Shortly after his appointment Mayor Dever summoned him and other police officers before him and ordered them to "enforce all the laws all the time." It was reported that a wholesale transfer order is be- ing drawn up which will move nearly every detective in the Chicago bureau.
 Meanwhile those Investigating O'Ban- ions death were hurrying tonight to obtain any possible evidence against Frank Uale and Sam Pollacio of New York, arrested on a tip that they knew all about the killing. This they denied and those who obtained heeting glimpses of O'Banion's slayers as they ran from his flower shop also failed to identify them.
