London, Feb. 6.-<keThe house
Of commons has solved : momentous
question OF decorum. Women mem
bers will be free to disobey the rule
requiring all members to wear their
hats In the course Of certain pro-
cedure.
It all started last week when Miss
Susan Lawrence. labor member from
Eastman North, found herself handi-
capped because she had no hat and
the rules require a member must be
covered when speaking after a ques-
ton has been put.
A fellow labor member impro-
vised q bonnet from a piece Of paper.
Miss Lawrence donned it. but the
chair refused to recognize that she
had complied with the rule.
The incident was recalled yester-
day with the observation that OBJ
servance of the rule often forced
members into an undignified or even
ridiculous position. The speaker then
suggested a way out Of the di.nculty.
remarking that inasmuch as the rule
requiring members to be covered
when walking about the chamber
was disregarded for women men,
bers. the other rule might also be
conveniently disregarded.

RUM-BUY|NG BAN
IS FORUM SUBJECT
Senator Sheppard to Discuss
Measure He Is Sponsoring
r Over Air Tomorrow.

Senator Morris Sheppard Of Texas,
author of the eighteenth amendment to
the Constitution, will discuss his pro-
posal that the national dry law be
amended so to make the purchaser Of
liquor guilty of violating the law along
With he bootlegger who sells 1t, in the
National Radio Forum, arranged by The
Evening Star and sponsored by the Co
lumbia BroadcaSting System at 1890
pm. tomorrow.
Senator Sheppard has already pre-
pared and introduced a bill making
purchasers of liquor guilty of violating
the dry law and punishable. He in
tends to press this measure for action
in the regular session of Congress,
which opens in December. 1t is his con-
tention that If prohibition is a wise
measure-and he believes it is-and If 1t
is to be enforced the law must reach
the men who purchase illegal liquor as
we'll as those who sell it.
The bootleggers sell the greater part
of their supplies to citizens who are
regarded as stable, law-abiding men,
and if these men were convinced that
they stood in danger Of being arrested
as law violators they would cease pur-
chasing liquor from bootleggers in most
cases, oeLdlOI oIeppdAu pelAeNcS' anu
the bootleggers' trade would diminish
rapidly.
Senator Sheppard has been long
member of the Senate and before that
he served in the House of Representa-
tiveS. He early achieved a reputation
as an orator. He is an eloquent and
convincing speaker.
Senator Harry B. Halves of Missouri,
who is strongly opposed to the bill in
troduced by Senator Sheppard to make
purchasers guilty of law violation, will
deliver an address giving his views of
the question involved in the National
Radio Forum on Thursday night, No.

Whiting notified william M. Millikan,
curator of decorative arts at the muse
UNI, who was travelling abroad. asking
him to investigate. Whiting also imme-
diately withdrew the panel from exhibit
ton, locking 1t in museum vault.
The investigation, made in co-opera-
ton with the house of De Motto, dis
closed the passage Of the rare carving
through the hands of four dealers, but
the unnamed person from whom the
first of the four had bought it was
travelling, whereabouts unknown. Hit
ting the blank wall, the investigators
halted.
whiting, comforting with Millikan
and the New York dealer, decided to
return it to the Minister Pitamic, with
an escort, arrived by automobile from
Washington, received the panel and
left Immediately. In a short address
he praised the museum for its action.
The carving is believed originally to
have been a panel for the cover of a
religious book. A jewel was set in the
center Most of its history is obscure.
but it is believed to have come original
ly from a medieval atelier in Liege,
Belgium. and to bear the influence Of the
famous Metz School at the time CT the

HOWELL CONFERS
WITH PROSECUTOR
Nebraskan Discusses Capital
Prohibition Situation
With Rover.

Continuing to show a keen interest in
the enforcement of prohibition In Wash
ington. Senator Howell, Republican. of
Nebraska held conference yesterday
afternoon with District Attorney Rover
Senator Howell has been inquirine
into dry law conditions since he de-
livered a speech in the Senate several
weeks ago. in which he said the law
could be enforced In the National Cap
ital If there is the will to enforce it.
His speech at that time drew a state
ment from the White House. inviting
the Senator to furnish any information
he had as to violations to the proper
authorities.
Upon leaving the ONCE of the district
attorney yesterday, Senator Howell said
he had a very satisfactory interview
and that he had discussed generally
the prohibition situation here. The
tails to the prosecution for preSenta-
ton to the grand jury because he had
no first-hand information, as he had
pointed out during his speech in the
Senate only what appeared on the pub
lie record.
The Senator said he had no intention
Of going before the grand jury and had
only inquired of MIR; Rover what had
been done about the padlocking of
places against which cases appeared in
the record.
Mr.. Rover had no statement to make
about the conference, which he referred
to as friendly chat" Since making
his speech in the Senate, the Nebraska

HOOVER Is TOLD NEEDS.
Forestry COnservationists Say Funds
Must Be Provided.

A plea to President Hoover to give hi.
full support to q balanced program OF
Federal forestry activities and to allow
the full amount Of appropriations au-
thorized by law for such program was
made today by George D. Pratt, presi-
dent Of the American Forestry AsSocia-
ton.
Mr.. Pratt headed delegation repre-
Senting % national and regional or
CARNATIONS. who called upon the PreSi.
dent at the White House to bring to his
attention the reductions made in tho
national conservation budget, which
threatens to handicap the work of the
Government during the coming fiscal
year.
THE Government is following a futile
policy of locking the stable door after
the horse is stolen" Mr.. Pratt told the
President, "as there is not adequate
fiscal provision for fire prevention"
He stressed that the appropriation
for fire prevention is negligible. This
year, he said, fires caused over S3,0OO,-
900 damage in the national forests and
cost $2,600,000 to suppress them. IF
adequate funds were provided" he said,
the losses would be materially re-
duced"
other spokesman for the delegation
were Robert P. Bass. former Governor
Of New Hampshire and John w.
Blegett Of Grand Rapids, Mich, repre-
senting the lumber industry.
I'VE are confident that you recog-
nize in our forests one of the Nation S
greatest assets" Mr.. Pratt said, both
actual and potential, and that all queS-
tons involving perpetuation of our
forests are deserving Of your most seri-
Gus attention.

the Woodruff -McNary bill which Con-
gress passed last year authorized an ex-
penditure Of 100000 for three years
Of forest acquisition in the East. The
first year the full appropriation was
granted under stress of special needs,
he explained. For the present fiscal
year the appropriation was cut by ST.
100000.
I'VE strongly urge at least the full
appropriation for the coming fiscal
year be granted" he said.
The same condition applies, he said,
to the Clark-McNary bill. which pre-
vides for encouraging forest practice
and protection in cooperation with the
States, and the McNary- McSweeney
law, which authorizes about $4,000, 900
annually for forest research.
