A|GRETTES APPEAR
 UPON FRENCH HATS
Forbidden in America, They Re.
 turn to Service in Paris

Paris, Aug. 6. tP(-Aigrettes. for bidden ornaments in the Unite l States, are to have a reviyal here, it seems, where Repoux is showing them as an important trimming factor in winter millinery
 The new hat is bonnet shape with twin aigrettes protruding al the side, back just behind the ears. It has a modified brim in back formed by an extension of the crown.
 The aigrette brushes at the back of RebouA's model are only one form of bonnet shaped felts with trimming in back Millinery in this form is a response to the needs of the French millners' many clients who are letting their hair grow or wearing it in page style with ring lets brushed back behind the ears and on the nape of the neck.
 One of the new hats worn at the smart Bagatelle polo grounds re- gently was a black felt bonnet with white gardcnias punched in the back.
 Glycerined ostrich and uncurled ostrich brushes also are used in the trimming arrangements at the back of bonnet shapes.
 An alternative for women who like hats with brims is the cloche With brim turned sharply off the face. Nearly all the new millinery stresses elongated lines over the cars and at the back of the neck.

 Say, I hear that Charles Francis Adams is going to be the new sec. retary of the navy. No, no, not the ball player; not the Charles Fran cis Adams, some king over at Cam- bridge who's treasurer of Harvard university or something like that"
 The managing editor investi- gated and found that the "gink" at Harvard was the right man. His newspaper had the first word on the subject.
 Secretary Adams was recom- mended by Christian C. Herter, a former secretary to Mr. Hoover and John Richardson. who was as- sociated with Hoover in the food administration.

 When it came to selecting a sec retary of commerce, MT. Hoover wanted an engineer of outstanding ability to carry on the work that he as an engineer had pressed in the great business department of the government. A. w.

 The Chicago engineer had met Hoover once at a general confer ence at the commerce department.

HOOVER. ASSISTED
 BY WARTIME AIDES
Helped in Choosing Proper Men
 for Cabinet Posts

Washington, Aug. G. lP}-War time associates, who with hundreds of their kind rallied around the Hoover political banner, now are receiving credit for bringing for ward two present cabinet members who probably were even more sur prised than the public by the ten- der of office.
 The two are Charles Francis Adams of Massachusetts, secretary of the navy, and Robert Patterson Lamont of Illinois, secretary of commerce.
 MT. Adams was a real stranger to MT. Hoover when he received an invitation to lunch with the president-elect and Mrs. Hoover at the pre-inaugural home on Belle Isle, Fla, last February.
 During that luncheon MT. Hoover sized up the internationally known amateur yachtsman and treasurer of Harvard university and shortly afterward rendered him the navy post, although Mr. Adams had been a democrat all his life until the enI of the Wilson administration, when he supported Warren G. Harding
 None of the group of seasoned political writers who had gone to Florida with the prcsident-e -elcct even suspected that the man wh3 raced the Resolute 10 victory over the Shamrock back in 1920 was slated for the cabinet. It remained for a sports writer for Boston newspaper, who was in Miami Beach for the Stribling- Sharkey heavyweight, to Scoop" the lot of them.

This BILL SHOULD PASS
Bill Introduced in the Senate to In
crease Penalties for Driving All
tomobile While Intoxicated

State Senator Richard r. Meentz, Ash
KUN, twentieth DistricD has introduced
a bill IS B. 1897 to amend the Motor
Vehicle act by providing minimum fine
of not less than five hundred dollars and
"a maximum me ri one thousand dollars,
or imprisonment in the county Jail for
not less than thirty days nor more than
six months or both fine and imprison-
ment, for driving a motor vehicle while
intoxicated
The present law Furnishes the offense
of drunken driving by fine of not more
than two hundred dollars or by imprison
ment in the county jail for a period not
exceeding sixty days, or by both fine and
imprisonment. It is optional with the
court as to whether any punishment at
all shall be imposed. Manifestly, the
present law is entirely too lenient. Sen
ator Meentz' proposed amendment would
make fine of at least two hundred dol
lars absolute on conviction.
This proposed measure should be en-
acted into law.

criminals and the closing of them aids
materially in the enforcement of other
laws"
It's an old truth that "acquiescense in
crime of one sort breeds an epidemic OF
crime of all Sorts
In view of the critical laW-enforcement
problem facing the state of Illinois, sure
ly the members of the Legislature are in
no mood to vote to actually tie the hands
of law-enforcing officers SO they cannot
prosecute the class of law violators re-
sponsible more than any other for the
alarming conditions. To turn the state
over to the bootleggers by wiping off the
statute books laws which protect the
people against liquor traffickers, as House
Bill No. 13 would do, is unthinkable.
Far from taking any action which
would give aid and comfort to the laWless
forces, it is the paramount duty of the Il
lionis Legislature at this time to assert
itself in the strongest manner possible in
behalf of law and order.

House Bill No. 13 Would Repeal the
So-Called Search and Seizure Law
and Illinois Prohibition Act
STATE OBLIGATED TO CO.
OPERATE
State Would Still Be Subject to Ma
tional Prohibition Policy; Would
Only Encourage Bootlegging

At this writing House Bill No. 13, in
troduced by Messrs. Webber and OGrady
Cook County,, to repeal the Illinois pro-
h1bition enforcement statutes, is still
pending in the Judiciary Committee of
the House of Representatives.
Section l of the Eighteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States prohibits the manufacture, sale,
transportation, importation and exporta-
tion of Intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes. Section 2 provides:
THE CONGRESS AND THE SEVERAL,
STATES SHALL HAVE CONCURRENT
POWER TO ENFORCE THIS ARTICLE
BY APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION.
The Constitution of the United States
puts exactly the same obligation on the
states to enforce prohibition that it does
on Congress. Tt is a mistaken idea that
there is a primary obligation on the Fed
eral Government and only a secondary
one on the states. The obligation is iden-
tical.
In the case Of Rhode Island v Palmer,
reported in volume 253 U. S. Report, page
334. the United States Supreme Court
said that Section of the Eighteenth
Amendment docs not enable Congress
or the several states to defeat or thwart
prohibition but only to enforce it by ap-
propriate means"
Manifestly, the object of the Eighteenth
Amendment was to secure for the en-
forcement of prohibition the assistance
and cooperation of the law-enforcement
agencies of the state governments. This
is essential if there is to be a proper en-
forcement of the law. The Federal Gov
ernment is not equipped to perform po
lice duties on any thorough and effective
scale On the other hand the state gov
ernments are organized for precisely this
purpose.
Section of Article VI of the Constitu-
ton of the United States requires that
the Senators and Representatives (of
the United StateS) and the members Of
the SeUerul state Legislatures, and all exec
utive and judicial officers both of the
United States and Of the several states.
shall be bound by oath or affirmation to
support this Constitution"
These provisions make clear the duty
of the states to support and not TO nuIlity
the supreme law of the land.
The oath of members of the Illinois
legislature, Sec OF Art. " of the Con-
stitution of Illinois, follows:
I do solemnly swear Cor affirm
that L will support the Constitution
of the United States.

CLOSE BOoTLEGGERS' DIVES AND THE BATTLE
ate Attorney Cook County Recognizes This Fact Giving Strict
Orders to Close All Bootleg JOINTS Would Be Fatal to
Bill Number 13

There probably never was time in the
history of the state when the weakening
or repeal of any law was fraught with
graver danger to the public welfare than
would be the repeal of prohibition en-
forcement laws at this time. The fol-
lowing are typical of outside observations
being made about conditions in Chicago
and illinois:
Chicago furnishes the most glaring
example of the defiance of the laws
of organized society, for there law
lessness has gone to the extreme of
openly obstructing the processes of
the courts, of threatening and ac-
tua1y attacking The homes and lives
of witnesses and court officials, sub
Stituting intimidation and terrorism
for the orderly processes of justice
with consequent safety and peace.
Just at this time comes the Chicago
ST. Valentines horror. It is more
than murder. It is one of many
bands of men who have assumed to
themselves the supreme functions of
government; viz: the right to decree
death and put this decree into eXecu-
ton. These bands are bootleggerS,
rum runners, SmugglerS.
The outstanding issue before the peo-
pie of Illinois to-day is respect for and
observance of law. The States Attor-
neys office in Chicago, all civic agencies,
and other organizations, have joined
hands and are graphing with the laWlesS
forces in determined fight to save the
city and county fl complete break

Illinois counties are engaged in similar

enforcement officials who really
enforce the law are emphasizing the fact
that when the bootlegging dives have
been closed, all law enforcement is mace
infinitely easier. Grover Whalen, recent
ly installed as Police Commissioner of
New York goes directly to the point when
he declares that resorts where intoXi-
eating beverages are sold are the meeting
places and training schools of the crini
nal class. Recently the sheriff of Will
