Washington.-Senate invcstiga. ing committees have been razzed for years with allegations of muck raking, but none of them ever went on such long and protracted pam ming party as the National Com mission on Law Observance and Enforcement.
 That's the Wickersham commis- sion. It investigated and reported on dozen or more aspects of ob- servance, enforcement and the general administration of justice. And is found more things rotten than were ever discovered in Dem mark.
 Considering all the brains and effort that went into the reports, both from commission members and able research experts and in- vestigators, 1t Is not strange that they seem to be getting little atten- tion from politicians who would have to act to make various changes the commission has urged. The commission was Herbert Hoover's baby. most widely bally- hooed of all the genuine Hoover commissions, but one learns at the White House that not even the president has been reading the re- ports since the commission got off to a bad start ith It's two prohibi- ton reports--one forced from it as q political emergency and the other badly manhandled to con ceal it's Import.
 Nevertheless. the commissions fearlessncss in its last nine or 10 reports has been almost as start ling as some of its discoveries.
 1t found there was no adequate observance or enforcement of pro- hibition, that there had been steady increase in drinking and an unprecedented regime of corrup- ton. Present enforcement. 1t said, represented little more than local option. Seven of II members fav- orcd changing the laws and the rest were admittedly doubtful whether prohibition would ever be enforced.
 A large proportion of police chiefs and their subordinates was reported to be mediocre, untrained and unfit, nearly always owing their jobs to politicians. The com mission said that in large cities the alliance between criminals and corrupt politicians controlled in part where it did not entirely con trol the police forces.
 Widespread, symtematiZcd po- lice brutality and cruelty has been charged and wealth of proven evidence of third degree torture detailed in the report lawlessness in law enforcement. The police were found to disregard civil rights "very generally"
 The federal government, ac- cOrding to the commission, has no adequate system of juvenile justice. classes child offenders with adult criminals, tries them with inade- quate machinery, often keeps them in jOila where the situation of filth and misery Is impossibmle to convey" and eventually incarcer- ates them in institutions where they arc likely to be nogged. shackled and drcnched with cold water.
 The American prison system was reported to be inadquate and in- efficient, its discipline often cruel and inhuman.
 The report on prosecution held that the prosecuting system of the country was inefficient and easily adapted to misgovernment; that citizens were subject to nasty and unfounded prosecutions and that prosecutors. both state and federal. were too intimately connected with politics.

Henry Ford has raised nice distinction in the question of bis employees. No man will be employed hereafter who does not have his own home garden. The Ford ediet states that next summer every man with a family must raise vegetables to feed the family the following winter Those who have no homes of their own will be donated land by the company While we are all for home gardens we don't think that man should be forced to grind his nose on ploughshare if he doesn't want that form of endeavor in his leisure moments.

FASHION FLASHES

A white head is very smart,
by which we mean that the all,
white hat is ideal with certain
costumes. A most attractive
hat is made of shirred white
velvet with bands of white
gaylak. On the galyak are tiny
bows of white velvet.
A cOlOrful future Is suggest

Solidly beaded in. white, gold

worn a matching hat of velvet
with a long plume of tawny

The very idea Of dismissing
the ensemble is not to be
thought of with so many fash

continuance. A lovely evening
ensemble has frock of mauve-
pink satin with a girdle Of this
hue twisted with wine-red. The

HOUSEHOLD
HINTS

Furniture polish Of the wax
variety is greatly improved If
a few drops Of turpentine are
added every time the tin is put
away. It prevents that sticky,
smeared look that is the result
Of too much polish and too lit
tie elbow grease.
White paper should not be
used for wrapping around deli
cate, colored articles that are to
be put away, for the chloride
of lime in it will destroy the
color of the fabric. Yellowish
or blue paper is best.
A piece Of lint soaked in vine
gar and spread over a bruiSe
will prevent discoloration.
Use starch for cleaning soiled
wallpaper. Sprinkle liberal guam
titles over the damp cloth, and
apply to the paper, working
with a circular movement. Par
ticular attention should be given
to parts that are badly soiled.
