RAPS POLICE DEPT.
 FOR USING AGENTS
Atty. c. E. GaGney Hits Practice
 -Di MaurO Found Guilty

The practice of paying a police agent" to purchase liquor in viola ton Of the law amounts to almost felony" according to Attorney Cyril r. Gaffney. who represented Vincenzo DiMauro. aged B. of 329 Church street. in police court today. DiMauro being charged with violat- ing the law on January 26 and also with being a third offender. Attor- ney Gaffney said he did not intend that his declaration should be in terpreted as an attempt to condone the violation but rather that it be considered in mitigation Of the pen- alty.
 Judge Roche made finding of guilty and remarked that Di Mauro was found guilty on December s, 927. and given a suspended jail sentence of 30 days yet he went dl- rec'ly back to the liquor business and was arrested less than two months later. Apparently the prom iScs of such a man cannot be con- sidered as worth anything. Judge Roche said. and he ordered the sus- pension of the jail sentence revoked and bound DiMauro over to the March term Of superior court in 1 So0o0 bonds.
 ! Sergeant r. J. O'Mara testified | that he and Sergeant NJ. !. Flynn and Officer E. B. Kiely raidcd the tenement occupied by DiManro, fol- l lowing the purchase of bottle oi alleged liquor by an agent" who was given q s bill and returned 1 fifty cents change. Having been un- able 10 find liquor in the store on 1 previous occasions. Sergeant O'Mara had q varrent 10 search the t~ne- mcnt and the attic and found sever al bottles of alleged home made l liquor iu the attic,
 l C'ross- eAn,ined by Attorney Calf uey, Sergeant O'Mara was obliged to tell the name of the agent" who made he purchase. "Tll bring him up. Hos downstairs uow," the ser gcsnt said after Judge Roche had ruled that the request for the name Has proper cross examination, over l the objection of Assistant Prescott i ting Attorney f;recnstein.
 You do not have to bring him ur." Mir. Greenstein said. His name is Canning" the ser- yeant testified. and he spelled it out for Attorney Gaffney.
 How much did you pay him to get this evidencer" Attorney Gaffncy inquired.
 Ten dollars" was the reply. 0fficer Kiely testified that he was with the serEeants on the day of the arrest and he heard DiMauro admit that be owned the alleged liquor seized in the attic. also that he had made the sale 10 the agent" When he saw Sergeant OMara get out of an automobile and come towards 'ho store. he hastened to take the
 sc bill out of the cash register and
 burned it in the stove, he told Officer

WORTH FORECASTS LINES FOR SUITS
Bathing Suit Lines Likely to Be
 Spring Style

Paris. Feb. 2. R-Clothes with bathing suit lines are growing into vogue, says Jean Charles Worth, fashion head Of the oldest dress making shop in the Rue de la Paix.
 The demand for fitted styles, he believes. is the result Of woman's diet and exercise.
 We may expect to see corsages fitting on bathing suit lines this spring" he declares. Women with good figures naturally want to show them. We are constantly asked for things fitted to bathing suit lines. I don't mean things with normal waistline. necessarily. but clothes that are fitted above the hips, with shaped bodices.'
 Fashion, according 10 Monsieur Dorth, has just completed a ten year cycle and arrived at the place it started out from after the war. The masculine mode. a postwar .nanifestion, is definitely done and women have settled back to the hefore-the-war idea Of fashion and the feminine philosophy of clothes, he thinks.
 Sport clothes are definitely relegated to their beginnings. the golf course. tennis court, yachts, and country wear. declares Worth. He is not sure that American wo- men will, follow Europe's lead and hanish two piece dresses of the sports type for afternoon wear But in Europe. he says. the bridg. table and the drawing room now require afternoon dresses.
 Dark blue is to be an important color in spring sport things at the house of Worth. Gray. the designer thinks. will largely replace beige in the favor of smartly dressed wo-

The bal loon was sighted by people in the vicinity who calne to the assistance of the passengers and helped them safely to the ground.
 The balloon left Lakehnrst about { p. m, yesterday. It was carried easterly and this morniug passed over E'itchburg. Mass, and then northeastuard into New Hampshire. As the sea was sighted it was de- cided 10 come down and one lnsuc- cessful attempt was made near the | heavy surface wind carried the big bag along until it struck the wires which held it.
 After the occupants had been res cued the balloon vas salvaged and packed for shipment back to Lake hurst.

CONVENTION HALL
 MANAGER IS BUSY
Host to LaA HIe Presidout
 TlkS 6lrge

Kansas City: Feb. [. N1Louis W. Shouse. who has arranged for the public presentation in Kansas City of every president since Roosevelt. Is in charge of the workahop of potential president makers coming here in June.
 Shouse is manager of Convention Hall. where the republican nadonal convention will assemble June l1 to name the party's candidate for president. As such. he will oversee the greatest stir in the halls his- tory.
 In 1901, after the death of the manager, Shouse went to tho hall to help out. A short time afterward he was chosen manager and hia been reelected annually since. His first presidential guest was Theo- dore Roosevelt. who was tendered T huge reception there in 1903. Wil- liam Howard Taft, while . candi~ date. was the guest of honor at . dinner in 1908.
 President Wilson spoke in tho hall several times during his two terms. A huge crowd gathered there June p. 1923, to hear Presi. dent Harding. when he stopped during his illfated western swing. Three months later many of the same people gathered in the same setting at the Harding memorial service. The hall had not been used in the meantime.
 As vice-prosident. Calvin Cool idge came to Convention Hall in October, 1921. to address the Amer ican Legion convention.
 Senator James 4. Reed. now . candidate for the democratic presi- dential nomination. introduced tho first president in the hall. He prob- ably has addressed more gather- jngs there than any other man in political life, Shouse believes. Reed was mayor of Kansas City when Roosevelt came here.
 Shonse's life has been closely aligned with the halls history. Az q reporter for the kansas City Times he covered the story of tho fire that destroyed the building on April 1, 1900. He has covered the opening Of the building less than . year before.
 Tho democratic convention which nominated William Jennings Bryan was less than three months away and before the fire abated plans were being drawn for a new hall. shouse reported the opening Of tho new hall 90 days later, and was re- tive in reporting tho convention.

Trees and Prosperity
of Nation Are Linked

The economic structure upon which
our nation is built is made of forest
products, writes Charles Lathrop
Pack in the Military Engineer. Just
as wooden railroad ties marked the
westward advance of civilization. so
other products of the forests have
kept pace with national growth, and
made it possible. When we had to
have more houses, down came the
trees. We had to have more barns,
schools and churches, down came the
trees. We had to have farm iinple-
ments, and wood for fuel, down came
more trees Coal was found and
strange as it may seem, there was a
great demand for wood because 1t
must be used in mining coal.
The annals of our country have
been written across the pages of his
tory because of trees. and the time has
come to give thought to what the his
torian of the day will write about it
100 years from now. Every step of
our onward march has been made pos
sible because, and by means, of trees.
