|ROGERS' WIFE URGES
 YOUNG LADY 'SNOBS'
Says Girls Should Put Up Good Front at All
 Times

Boston. June 14 (UP)-Girls, as we'll as boys. should be 'snobs," ac- cording to Mrs. Marie Rogers. whose husband. Prof. Robert E. Rogers. recently delivered a speech on the necessity of being snob." which created nationwide discussion.
 Girls are not as lax in the mat ter of dress as men," she said in an interview at her summer home on Cape Ann. Nothing is prettier than the short skirt. but girls must put their clothes on right and wear the right things with them, and need to have a value of clothes that will in- stinctively lead them to wear the proper clothes at the proper time.
 "A girl is always able to put up a better front than a man, and this is clearly reflected in the fact that she has more ambition for her children
 Mrs. Rogers thought the curse of the younger generation was it's that's good enough" attitude.

 STEVENSON'S SCALP
Drive Against Hartford Police Commissioner
 Result of Scandal

Hartford, June 14.-Mayor Bat terson and members of the board of aldermen have taken official cog nizance of the action of Police Con- missioner George s. Stevenson in taking part in a raid and free-for- all fight which preceded the arrest of Attorney Edward w. Broder and Mrs. R. c. Hastings for alleged mis- conduct at the formers apartment last Friday night, and formal in- quiry will be made by the board.
 Aldermen have expressed a view that Commissioner Stevenson ex- ceeded his authority when he as- stunned leadership of the raiding party and ordered the two detec- tives assigned to the case to remain outside the room while the fight took place. A movement backed been inaugurated to prevail upon Mayor Patterson to retire Stevenson if the investigation substantiates their claim of exceeded authority.
 Meanwhile counsel for the defense has found a bar to the requested early trial. The criminal side of the superior court has been ad- journed to be opened later in the month for trial of first degree murder charge but it is not ex- pected that other matters can be in troduced during that session be- cause of the assurance that the murder trial will extend into the month of July.
 Commissioner Stevenson. busi- ness associate of R. Cleveland Has, tings. husband of the accused wom- an. accompanied Hastings and two police detectives on a surprise visit to the Broder apartment in the Highland Court hotel last Friday night.
