Special Dispatch to The Star.
WATERFORD. Va, September
1.-THE Loudoun County Min
listers Association, at its meeting
here, today discussed the question Of
what attitude ought to be taken by
1t toward midway features at county
fairs and various kinds of tourna-
ments where gambling devices form
part of the attractions.
The subject came UP in connec-
ton with consideration of means
of relief from conditions caused by
the drought as it was felt in this
time of stringency. The people
ought to be cautioned against
squandering money, especially on
speculative propositions, when there
will be so many this Winter in need
of help from church funds and Red
cross organizations, 1t was argued.

GINNS TREASURER
 OF SCHOOL GIFTS
Will Accept Money Contributed
 by Teachers for Relief

Principal James H. Ginns of the Junior High school shops today was appointed by fellow principals as treasurer of the money being col lected among teachers of the New Britain school system for the Christ mas fund. The plan is being spon- sored by Mayor George A. Quigley for relief of the needy during the winter, months.
 The teachers council after obtain ing the views of teachers last week voted not to adopt the mayors plan which provided for a contribution of two per cent of their salaries dur ing September, October and Novem- Der. Instead they will contribute any sum they wish. The reason they did not accept the mayors plan was because they did not believe it was voluntary giving.
 Under the arrangement decided upon today the teachers will give their contributions to the principals of the respective schools and the principals will.turn the amount over to MT. Ginns He will then trans- fer the fund to Curtiss l.. Sheldon, city treasurer. Collections will be- gin immediately and will be con- cluded on November 26 when the teachers leave for Thanksgiving va cations.

KICKS BOY WHEN
 CALLED TOM MIX
Man Objects to Being Referred to
 as Famous Cowboy

The name of Tom Mix, famed | cowboy and hard rider of the nov i ies. doesn't mean a thing to Joseph 1 Barysevich of S1 Oak street. He so dislikes the name that when it was ] applied to him by some boys yester- 1 day afternoon, while he was stand 1 ing around in the vicinity of Oak street he got on his own high horse and proceeded to show his dis pleasure by kicking a small boy who i happened to be near him.
 The youth registered a complaint and Sergeant McAvay arrested | Barysevich and booked him on the charge of drunkenness and assault.
 When asked why he kicked the boy by Prosecutor Woods he stated that the boys persisted in calling him Tom Mix and that this annoy ed him.
 Judge SaYe imposed a fine of s7 on the charge Of drunkenness and suspended judgment on the charge ol doSdult, say lllS ludI lle lell that II the man had not been drunk he would not have committed the as- sault.

Children Respond Quickly
 To New Treatment
Modern Laxative Safe, Dependable-Children
 Like Taste.

Nowadays mothers know the i'm portance of keeping children regular and cleaned out inside. They know how often cross, irritable children re- gain happy dispositions, healthy ap- petites when constipation is correct ed. And mothers everywhere are de- lighted with the way their children respond to Feen-a -a-mint, the modern chewing gum laxative.
 Children love the fresh mint flavor of Feen-a-mint which never has to be forced down unwilling throats as do old-fashioned cathartics. Doctors recommend 1t for its mild, yet thor ough action for Feen-a-mint works on the important principle of uni form internal distribution.
 Because children chew Feen-a- mint, it is effective in milder doses than ordinary laxatives. For the eff fectiveness of laxative is not TO much dependent upon the quantity swallowed as upon the thoroughness of it's distribution throughout the alimentary tract.
 While children chew Feen- mint the laxative it contains is gradually released and mixed with the saliva. Thus 1t Is carried to the intestinal tract smoothly, evenly. without shock to the system or the distress

HooYer's Law Group Reassem.
 bl@ for Conference

Washington, Oct. 8 Pt-Around a table stacked high with new reports of investigators, the Hoover law en- forcement commission reassembled today for conferences which possi- bly may result in an expression on prohibition. The reports dealt with prohibition at length, and after reading them, one member of the commission. Kenneth Macintosh, of Washing ton, gave notice he wanted this is sue thoroughly thrashed out
 Carefully going over the results of the. summers Investigations, Chairman George W. Wickersham held to his practice of sercet com- mission sessions and to his policy of silence on matters of discussion un- til the commission has acted.
 But one of tke reports before Mr. Wickersham has drawn his ire. This is the report on "lawless acts of government officials" and after reading it, the commission chairman asserted "A basic difficulty with much of the administration of jus tice lies in the use of political in- fuence, not only in the selection of prosecutors, court officials and judges, but in the performance of their duties"
 That was just one of several prob lens Mir. Wickersham took up with the commission.
 There were evidences that as a result of demands, made in con- gress last session. that prohibition was going to be topic of major importance within the commission.
 Wants Statement
 It Is the view of MT. Macintosh, who has been classified in his state as a dry. that the commission should state its position directly on the prohibition controversy.
 Mir. Wickershams latest express sion along that line was that a bal anced inquiry into law enforcement would consider prohibition as one only of a number of elements to be studied"
 Some of the subjects touched upon in the other reports before the commission today are: Juvenile de linquency, operation of federal courts, causes and treatment of crime. lawless acts of government officials, cost of crime, criminal jus tice and the foreign born, and po- lice. |"
 Professor Chaffee of Harvard and Walter Pollak and Carl Stern of the New York bar. compiled data for the commission on the subject oi 'lawless acts of government off, cials."
 On this work Mir. Wickersham has commended:
 There is much evidence of law less conduct among a certain class of law officers: third degree as practiced by the police; the conduct of the immigration authorities to- ward aliens. etc.; lawless acts o' prosecuting attorneys; illegal search and seizures all furnish examples This is perhaps the most pregnant source of the failures in our system

IT'S it true that the humble

absolute past?" Thus demand
ed the Neutrality-suspicious.
who wanted to-get-a-lot-Of-
information-for-no nothing.
Well, more or less, responds
the mischievous lady who doesn't
want to- give away all-her informa-
ton. either for nothing or for any
thing.
But as a matter of fact, it all de-
ponds on what you mean by
sweater. If you mean the sweater
coat sort of a thing that you used
to slip on over skirt and blouse
or dress, for no other reason
than warmth, the answer is "Yes!"
But Slip-on and pull-over sweaters
that take the place of blouse, to
be worn with tweed and jersey
tailleurs, are smarter than they
ever were before.
Very often these Slip-on and pull
over sweaters, or wooden blouses,
if you prefer to call them that,
match the jacquette Of the suit,
whereas the skirt is OF heavy silk
crepe or shantung. At other times
these sweater blou5eS match the
suit material exactly in color and
weave, but are of a different ma
terial.
That for the humble sweater,
then, in all of its newly glorihed
g1ory
VIXEN they are so inexpensive,
what with being short and wrappy
and usually unlined, there is no
excuse for anybody not having
two or three or five evening wraps
this year! And then on top of
that La Chic Secretaire says that
to really Guido your own boss In
elegance all you have to do is to
save up your pennies for lovely
it made so you can haste it on
each evening wrap.
But let's start with the short
evening coat, and start by send
ing 2-cent stamp to the Dare
Department of The Times for the
illustrated Ieaf1et which tells you
how to make several of the very
smartest and simplest ones.
TUST gotta describe 1t for you
y I can't keep it to myself an
other minute! I saw it in one of
the new spring collections and I
gasped and oh'd and ah'd so heart
lily that the mannequin lowered
near me and let me take an extra
special look.
The frock was simple enough in
line, just a soft chiffon with
cape collar and a full. flared skirt.
1t was the coloring that was so
gorgeously unusual.
