Senator Bailey of North Carolina to Be Chief Speaker
 at Bushnell Memorial EiaIl-State's Attorney Acorn Describes Bill as "Sinister"

Josiah w. Bailey of North Carolina will be the chief speaker. Mayor Spellacy will be heard tonight over the same station at $40 p. m. in a brief talk.
 Calls Proposal Amazing
 "The amazing proposal of the president to replace a unified and autonomous court with a variable and elastic tribunal subservient to the executive has a much deeper and more sinister significance to me than the mere enlargement of the personnel of the court" MT. Alcorn said.
 "The disquieting events of the past few weeks in the industrial centers of the country as the inevitable re- suit of the attack now being made upon the courts.
 Although the Constitution guar antees to every state in the Union a republican form of government, we have witnessed in recent weeks open defiance of constituted authority and we have seen courts rendered impotent to enforce their own law full order respecting the private rights of persons and property"
 Since life, liberty, civic welfare and even religion is dependent upon impartial and courageous enforce ment of laws, the safeguards should not be broken down. MT. Alcorn said.
 Sees Social Threat
 He warned: Break down these safeguards, let the reign of lawless- ness to which I have referred con- tinue and sooner or later we will have to contend with a philosophy of government which holds that there must be equality also in the right of lawlessness. From thence 1t is only step to social distinte- grafton and anarchy.
 "The only way to prevent that trend is preserving the independence and courage of the courts"
 Besides Senator Bailey, other speakers at the mass meeting will be Colonel Thomas Hewes, former as- sistant secretary of the treasury. and Mayor Spellacy, chairman of the citizens committee which is sponsoring the meeting.

 New York-The outstand- ing hat designers have been positively bighearted with their ideas for fall. It's to be a season of greatest variety from which to pick and choose. Whether you look like a Spanish beauty, a Dres- den china doll or just a plain healthy American, there's the right hat to set off your clothes and flatter your face.
 The very smartest bonnets seem to be marching forward and up. Berets (sure. they're here again), especially the exaggerated types, slant forward and up, and quanti- ties of toqueS reflect the forward movement.
 off-the-face creations include ups turned brims which are narrow at the back, wide at the front and turned up and away from the face, These give on illusion of height and
