Governor Alvan T. Fuller, ad-
dressing the State convention of
the American Legion today, told
delegates that they had faced no
worse enemies of America on the
fields of France than Senator Hef-
lin and DR.. Straton."
1--WE must not allow our politics
to be torpedoed by prejudice" the
Governor declared.
Governor Fuller called upon the
Legion to utilize its prestige to see
that high ideals prevailed in civil
life and in public affairs.
"You men know and remember
that there was no inquiry as to a
mans religion or nationality when
he offered to die for his country ten
short years ago." he continued.
1--WE must insist over and always
that there shall be no shaft Of
criticism leveled at him on this ac-
count when he offers to serve his
country in the days of peace"

TAOS, n. M.-lP-Indians or this
ancient pueblo. who are stared at,
studied. painted and photographed
the year around by tourists and art
lists. are TO have three days Of pri-
vacy every year.
Tourists who pay a quarter for
the privilege OF focusing their cam
eras on the Indians and a dollar for
the right TO look around IN their
adobe apartments are the chief
source OF income for the first fami-
lies or Taos. and for that reason
they are welcomed on SCI days in a
year.
But there are three days the latter
part Of August when the redmen
want no pslefaces shopping around.
That il when they have their tribal
dances and religious ceremonies.
Now the federal government is
going 70 help the Indians obtain he
privacy they want. The forestry
service will close the gates leading

mics are held annually. and for three
days no outsiders will be permitted
10 enter even the watershed which

For years the Indians have in

there were no tribal dances. They
declared they had a grant 10 the

not produce the papers. The gov
eminent has acceded partly Ia their

that no curious sight-seers would

WASHINGTON, July 2l.- up -
Plans to finger print all prohibition
law violators and to place prohibition
agents doing road work in uniforms
so they can be easily identified were
announced today by Prohibition Com
missioner Doran.
Hereafter prohibition violators will
face a stringent system Of measure

purpose being to make old offenders

lied by the American police chiefs
association will be adopted in its
entirety and Harry Niles. assistant

bureau to put the new Identification
branch into effect.

ended today. The action was taken
because heretofore the dry agents
could o be easily identified and
many motorists when stopped were
unable 10 tell at a glance that the of
ficers actually we're dry agents. To
overcome this difficulty the confer
ence decided that any agent doing
road work should wear q distinctive

The new shields will be quite large

Agents have been warned against
