Agriculture, to secure their license be-
fore February first in order to avoid
paying the so per cent penalty pro-
vided by statutory law. There has been
no provisions made by the legislature

and wrappers, fail to secure their license
before February first, the Commits
sioner stated. Application for licenses
must be made to the Minnesota De-
partment of Agriculture, Dairy and

Locker On motion of one of the
visited delegates the name of Locker
was withdrawn and McIlvena was the
unanimous choice of the district.
Samuel E. Snively was selected as the
fourteenth member of the Hall of
Fame and the announcement of his
name was made at the banquet in the
evening. Mr.. Snively was not present
being in the east on a visit but had sent
his appreciation of the honor which
was read by Harry Davis who made
the presentation address.
Honored guests were presented at the
banquet. Among these were Mrs. E. w.
Hanson of this city, chairman of the
music committee Of the state auxiliary
organization. All the state officers, the
district officers and past state and dis
trict officers, many of whom were
present, also were introduced.
The Rev. Newton D. Meats, chap
lain of the visited post, asked the
blessing. Forrest C Huyck, commander
of the host post, welcomed the guests
and introduced Al C. Schaefer as the
POSTMASTER. Al handled this intricate
position without a flaw
Mayor c. Rudolph Berghult well
coined the guests on behalf of Duluth.
Many of the living Hall of Fame men,
bers were present and were asked to
arise. They were greeted with ap-
plause as also We're the Gold Star
Mothers and the Junior Leaders of the
Legion and Auxiliary.
Mrs. Eleanor Robertson, president of
the Legion Auxiliary, department of
Minnesota, expressed greetings from
her organization in a short address.
Michael Hurley, state commander of
the Legion, did the same for the
Gopher Gang"
National Commander Daniel j. Do
herty was the main speaker of the
evening. He also spoke to the Auxiliary
and the Legion district meetings in the
afternoon. Commander Doherty is the
thirteenth national commander who
has graced the Hall of Fame by his
presence during the fourteen years of
it's existence.
The national commander spoke on
the universal service legislation now be-
fore congress. He stated in his adj
vocacy of the passage of the bill that
1--WE of the American Legion know the
4 horror and misery of war" and en-
phasized that preservation of peace and
security of the country lay closest to
the hearts of Legionnaires.
Asserting that one of the most pro-
life causes of war is greed and that
when the profit is taken out of war
I'VE shall have gone long way toward
preventing war" The national COM
mander declared that is exactly what
the American Legion is seeking to do
by means Of its proposed universal
service legislation.
This law he pointed out, would serve
three purposes first, by equalizing the
burden of war if war must come despite
efforts to prevent it; second, by de-
profitizing war, thus eliminating the
greed motive, and third, by strengthen
ing the national defense by long range
advance planning for the procurement
of essential supplies and services in
event of crisis.
The plan, as advocated by the Le-
gion, he said, is simply that if a gov
eminent conscripts its citizens in the
public defense, it should also conscript
the material resources and wealth of
the country for the same cause.

PARIS STYLES

PARIS, Mar. 9. (UP)-The
hand that yields the knitting
needle rules the fashion world,
says Amy Blatt, whose spring
showing of handknits proves that
nothing is either too tailored or
too feminine to be conquered by
ball Of yarn. ,
Initiating English twcedS and
stripes for her materials, and IN
vading the realm of manufacturing
for her technique, Amy Blatt
creates a navy blue pin stripe tail
leur with single breasted, hip
length unbelted jacket that looks
as if it came from Bond street
instead of the old knitting bag.
"L'Epervier," she calls it, and
relieves its severity by a white,
short-slecved blouse knitted OF
linen yarn in one of her amaz-
ing lace-like patterns. DARK
blue hand-wovcn braid, looking
like old-fashioned rick-rack, edges
the Peter Pan collar and marches
in four determined rows down the
ccnter-front and back.
Amy Blatt shares her loyalty
| between navy blue and white,
and several new paStcls - rose
dragce, orphelia mauvc, a slight
blue-green called "sea-weed," and
an unnamed pca-green and yell
low shade. She likes oyster white
for afternoon and evening.
One afternoon frock in the lin
en- yarn called "weck-cnd" is
slightly reminiscent Of last years
peasant vogue, with its square
neck, shirred yoke, fitted waist
line and full skirt. To put the
finishing touch on all this quaint
ness is wide, light blue leather
belt, ornamented with spray OF
rosebuds.
| , For evening, she uses pure
-fshite again in a dance frock
which combines wide bands of
hand crocheted Sous POrme
yarn, giving the effect of old
| lace, with even wider bands of
cotton organdie, to make kind

the carriers and lCC officials,
which is expected to center about
the financial structure of the in
dustry, had been delayed pending
the commissions decision.
The commission said that the
rate increases would yield in the
"neighborhood of $270,000,0O0
annually" and added that 1--WE
shall have provided the revenue
necessary TO cover the increase in
expenses which were unforeseen in
1886, plus the amount by which
we failed to give them what they
deemed necessary in 1886, when
they were anticipating an early
return of normal conditions.
The roads contended before the
ICC that the narrowing margin
between operating revenues and
expenses was pushing them into
ruinous and widespread bank
ruptcy, with % percent of the ma
tons total mileage already in
solvent.
Contributing to their financial
ills, they said, wer ca 40 percent
increase in the costs Of materials,
fuels and supplies: 25 percent
advance in taxes, and an Is per-
cent rise in wage costs, while the
revenue for each ton-mile OF
freight fell to less than one cent,
They estimated that the annual
cost of operation has increased
1864, $4,000 since 1888.
Commissioner Joseph Y. East
man, former coordinator of trans
portation, said in a concurring
opinion that it is probably un-
necessary to say that an increase
in railroad rates cannot furnish
inadequate answer to our trans
portation problem.
At best, he said, it is "only a
palliative, and whether it is even
that remains to be seem" He said
there were other steps which lin
the long run will prove more ct-
ficacious" but did not go further
into the matter.
Chairman Burton X. Wheeler,
D., Mont, of the special senate
committee investigating rail fl
nances, also termed the increase
a palliative" and accuse dthe
carriers of waste.
Involved in the decision was the
governments stake of $3.50, 0O0,-
000.-in the nations railroads. The
carriers still lowe the Reconstruc-
ton Finance corporation some
$3.50, 100000 an approximately
5000, 100000 to the public admin

HOLLYWOOD, Mar. 9. (UPJ
Experts ut making Il fixed
match" look like the real thing
have nothing on Enrol Flynn and
Basil Rathbonc when those ac-
tors mix at swordplay.
These two crossed their swords
for the first time in the battle Sc
qucnccs for "Captain Blood" d
few years ago. Recently they
fought again in "Thc Adventures
of Robin Hood" putting on Il
battle that left both bruised
and worn.
In each case the outcome Of
the battle was prcdcStineG TO be
a victory for Flynn, the hero. But
in neither case would it have bcca
GOOD movie technique TO allow the
triumph ODE Il mere pushovcr.
Despite the fact that the
SPECTATOR was aware the hero
must win. the battle in robin
Hood" had even the Stagehand$
interested, no mean achieve
ment.
For the duelists were expert
enced opponents, having practic-
ed for weeks under the guidance
of fencing instructors. a. we'll as
having the experience in Cap
tain Blood" to help them.
Director Michael Curtiz. who
is a stickler for realism and who
enjoys a good fight, injected
stunts into the scene that no
script writer would have dared
include. He had huge candle
sticks tip over to pin Flynn on
the floor, had Rathbone leap from
considerable height, with Flynn
lcaping after him and apparent
ly on him.
Most of the battle is wagcd
upon the curved and unraiIcd
stone stairway of Nottingham
Castle set, with the combatantS
almost falling over the side.
Although neither was seriously
injured, both Flynn and RathbOne
suffered numerous bruises and
minor cuts by the time they fin
ished their battle scenes.
1t was for that reason the
fight sequence was not filmed UNI
til the rest of the picture was
completed. Curt wanted real
ism, but not at the risk of de-
laying production through the
injury of either of the principals.
