%. The Tennessee Bar AssOcia-

Memphis, is expected TO ask Chief
Justice Green to GUST Judge John
Tate Raulston from am partici-

John T. Scopes, indicted at Day

A resolution was drafted today
by Foster Brown and w. G. M.
Thomas, two prominent attorneys
here, following telephone confer
ences with leading attorneys of
the State, and it is a virtual GER

or for showing prejudice. It was
passed in 1919 by the State Legis-

ed. He is being criticized for allow

Scopes at the special session of

the best lawyers Of the State, was

that in order for a Judge to call a
special session there must be an
emergency, and Tennessee lawyers
say that no misdemeanor could
possibly constitute an emergency.
Further, the statute plainly pro-

Of the grand jury Is called, thirty

- Persons Are Arrested Here
in Weekend Liquor
Raids


Replacing the VIC squad abol.
ished last week, Commissioner
Jennings new flying squadron
suddenly has shifted its opera
tions from nearby Maryland and
Virginia and is operating now
within the District.
Under Captain Guy E. Bur-
lingame, the squadron has launched
an intensive campaign within the
city to clean up liquor sources.
In the past forty-eight hours thir-
ty-four persons have been ar
rested and hundreds of gallons of
liquor seized by Burlingame's men.
Objections Cited.

trict policemen invading Maryland
and Virginia.
Officially the Police Department
will make no statement as to
Burlingame's work. Officials will
neither affirm nor deny he has
been working in Maryland and has
been shifted to Washington.
Rowing about the city, invading
every precinct, Burlingame, with
more than dozen men, has been
making raids in much the same
manner as the old vice squed. He
has virtually taken over their
work, with headquarters in the
Sixth precinct station house.
Liquor Cases Only.
The new squadron, however, will
not handle vice cases, but will de.
vote its efforts to rum investiga-
ton.
The FORMER squad made both
liquor and vice inquiries, spending
most of it's time, however, on
liquor raids. All vice cases will
be handled by precinct captains.
Thirty-four persons were arrest
ID over the weekend and charged
with violating the national prohibi-
don act.
A grand total of seventy.fou
charges have been placed against
the defendants including forty
eight charges Of illegal possession,
seventeen charges of selling liquor
and nine OF transporting.
Much Liquor Seized.
Captain Burlingame, leading a
squadron Of raiders. heads the list
with the arrest of eleven people.
He and his officers confiscated a
large amount Of liquor and several
Eases of alleged beer.

the cost, you will note
that diamonds are al
most invaria b ly de-
scribed as "blue-white. "
Which would indicate
that blue-whitc is the
most common of colors
in these precious stones.
Now, as a matter OF
fact, cal blue-white
diamonds are extremely
rare. So, far from being
the rule, they are the re-
mote exception. And,
naturally, being so rare,
they command greatly
advanced prices.
We i'm port many
thousands of fine dia-
monds annually and ex-
anime many more thou
sands of stones that we
do not purchase. And
we find a blue-white
diamond = occasionally.
It is a subtle point
this color in diamonds.
Whether a blue-white
stone is more beautiful
than a pure white one
is chiefly a matter OF
sentiment and magma
ton.
Blue whiteness is
much more a talking
point than an indication
of quality or value. But,
whether you give it sen
timental preference or
not, be very sure 1t is
most often a delusion.
1t takes an expert to
determine diamond color
and even experts often
disagree (Which ac-
counts for rnisrepresen-
tatiOn being so easy
That is why we prefer
to stress quality in gen
eral rather than color in
particular. A f1awless
stone, pure white, finely
cut and syrnmetrically
shaped, represents all
that could be desired in

Our plan is to give
