Morton, Head of Enforcers, Says Commonwealth Losing Much of Stamp Levy Persons selling cigarettes who fail to comply with the state cigarette stamp tax law will find themselves in trouble as the result of a campaign Jaunched by the law-enforcement di- vision of the attorney general's de- partment. Attorney General Jim Morris, at whose direction the campaign was started, said he expects to deal se- verely with persons who persist in violating the law and defrauding the state of cigarette taxes rightfully due it. It is not his idea to invoke the max- imum penalty for first offenses, but persons who :lready have been found guilty of violating the law will receive no mercy at his hands. Under the law, the most severe pen- alty which Morris can apply is the revocation of the license permitting the person to do business. Its admin- istration is solely in his hands and his decision as to the revocation of such licenses is binding. Fines and jail sentences may be imposed upon conviction in a court. Most of the difficulty encountered by the department in a quiet survey, which showed that the law was being widely violated, came from the pro- prietors of pool halls, who also sell cigarettes. If a pool hall operator is convicted of a second offense his license to operate the pool hall will be revoked along with his license to sell cigarettes. Three pool hall operators already have gone out of business as the re- sult of orders issued by the depart- ment and four others are in process of getting out. The usual practice is to give the owner a reasonable time in which to dispose of his intérest in the property, usually from 15 to 30 days. Although collections under the cigarette tax law have been rising steadily, R. C. Morton, head of the law enforcement division, believes that the state annually is losing large sums which complete observance of the law would protuce. He estimates ‘his sum as high as $100,000 a year. In 1928 the state collected $341,- 638.46 under the cigarette law and in 1927 $300,295.22. A part of the in- crease is due to the action of the leg- islature in 1927 in legalizing the sale of snuff. Most of the seven pool hall opera- tors who already have been ordered to leave the business have been guilty of violations in addition to illegal cigarette sales but in the future the illegal sale of cigarettes will be enough if the seller persists in the Bractice, Morton said. He also called attention to the fact, that the sale of unstamped cigarettes in cartons is as much against the law as the sale of an unstamped single Package. Numerous cases have come to the attention of the department where this has been done, he said, and an effort will be made to curb the Practice. NOT SO ATTRACTIVE Honolulu, T. H., April 12.—The pic- turesque hula skirt, characteristic Barb of Hawaiian lassies, is fast los- ing favor on the islands. Upper class women at the University of Hawaii have been initiating new co-eds into wearing holoku, a large, plain, flow- ing garment similar to the dress known as a “mother hubbard.” 1 Weather Report 4 ™ 48 24 Temperature at 7 a.m. Highest yesterday .

In addition, the bringing in from points, outside the state of bees on combs and used beekeeping equip- ment and appliances is prohibited. North Dakota is widely known for its high-grade honey and large yields. To check any possible outbreak of bee disease and to retain the present high standards of honey production in the state is the purpose of the amendments to the bee law. Prof. J. A.

Steps Out,” playing at the Eltinge again today and Saturday. Filmed from Lucian Cary's Satur? day Evening Post romance, with the vivacious Joan Crawford as heroine, the new picture blends the life of the ring and the life of the campus in a Tapid-fire mixture of comedy and thrills, with a very charming love story as the central thread. Haines, as the prize ughter whi oes to college. concerling his iden- tity to please his sweetheart, is a sort 0: 1928 Cashel Byron with many more ! lovable traits. His quick wit and whimsical humor find ample oppor- tunities for expression, and there are three major thrills: the fight on the campus, the big ring battle—staged, by the way, in the famous Hollywood stadium, and the fray in the cafe. Eddie Nugent is the campus “sheik,” still good enough to bring in my cook wood. I brought up in this buggy, and it's while Karl Dane and Tenen Holtz supply the laughs in the fight epi- sodes as trainer and fight manager. CAPITOL THEATRE It took 40 standard Puiiman sleep- ing cars to house the players and technicians on location in the moun- j tains of Colorado during the filming of one great sequence of Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer's “The Trail of '98,” which will open at the Capitol theatre Mon- day with sound synchronization and a surrounding sound program. By arrangements with the Denver & Salt Lake railroad, Director Clar- ence Brown had more than a mile of siding built to house his “city on wheels.” There were sleeping cars, stock cars, refriserator cars, mail cars, ‘and baggage cars. Also thére were cars to house the postoffice, radio station, telegraph office, six dining cars, and a number of commissary cars. There were cars outfitted as film labora- tories, projection rooms and dark- rooms for the purpose of loading mo- tion picture cameras. “The Trail of '98” was adapted to the screen from the famous Robert W. Service story of the Klondike gold jrush, and the leading romantic roles are played by Ralph Forbes, Dolores Del Rio and Harry Carey. First Lady of State Begins to Like Honor Mrs. George F. Shafer is beginning to think that the governor's job isn't so bad after all. For the first two months after he took office, Mrs. Shafer wasn’t so sure about it, The press of work in- cident to launching a new adminis- tration took most of his time. He didn’t come home to lunch and his waking hours were filled with the public business. Now, however, it isn't so bad. Within the last two weeks the gov- ernor has returned to the habit of lunching at home instead of grabbing a lunch at the capitol restaurant. With the work easing up somewhat, the governor has more time to spend with his wife and family. Mrs. Shafer now feels that the governor's job isn’t going to'be as bad as she feared it would be from her standpoint. ARC SAVES HENS Experiments conducted at Oregon College of Agriculture showed that the use of an arc light in lighting poultry housés isn't as effective in increasing egg production, but lowers the death rate:more than does the ordinary electric light bulb. Signs as March Ended North Dakota's spring birds have been tardy this year, according to O. A. Btevens, bird expert, of the Agri- cultural college, who reports from Fargo to The Tribune as follows: sk & By C. A. STEVENS The warm days of early spring, bringing new birds in pleasing num- bers, are sure to be followed by Periods of backward weather. Dur- ing these frosty days we become im- Patient for the sight of some fresh Breen leaves and the sound of new bird songs. We can take a lesson from the robins which have ventured north so early. They seem to say, “Oh yes, we would like to see it warm enough to bring up the angleworms, but we are used to it and will hunt beetles and spiders for a while.” Miss Lakela writes from Minot that robins and meadowilarks are later tl usual, neither one observed by March 28. Mr. Monson, near Argus- ville, reported no robins until March 28. This last record seems to be evi- dence of the greater abundance of these birds in the city as compared to the country. The writer did not consider them common yet in Fargo at that time though one or more might be seen at almost any time. For the redwinged blackbird the case is reyersed, Mr. Monson report- ing them as early as March 17. They were noted at Tower City, March 22 and at Fargo, March 30. By March 31 the slate-colored juncoes nad be- come quite common at Fargo, and the writer observed a single grackle and song sparrow, which were re- Leche] also at Argusville, March 29 and 30. The most notable arrival of the week was the killdeer, which was observed at Fargo, Argusville and Tower City, all on March 27. The killdeer is one of the few birds re- garding whose identity there need be no doubt, for they fly about calling their names in a loud voice. They be- long to the group of shore birds or waders and are commonly seen around the edges of ponds. They are at home in the fields as well, where they do good service in destroying insects. A slight depression in the bare ground serves as a nest and, like the rest of the water birds, the: fluffy young are able to run about as soon as hatched. The various sandpipers are not es- Pecially early in arrival and are par- ticularly early in’ the fall departure. Killdeers seem somewhat exceptional among their relatives, in that they arrive quite early in the spring and remain late in the fall. They are found over most of the United States and in southern sCapada ‘in summer and from the southern states to South America in winter. A close relative is the well known lapwing of Europe, a bird of similar habits and striking appearance. It is chiefly dark green, blue or purplish above with a long crest on the head. The black-bellied and golden Plovers are the best known of the other American members of this family. They nest far northward:and spend the winter in central and southern South America. Consequently, they are known to us only in migration. Junior Prom Plans At A. C. Mostly Made| Fargo, N.

He hadn't been to house for ages. But it was Stephen and Mildred had difficulty in hiding her pleasure at seeing him. “I heard about your mother’s acci- dent,” he said. “Harold told me.” Then he paused and looked at Mil- dred as t! he, too, were thinking what a long time it had been since he had called on her. “Had a demonstration up in Yonk: ers this morning,” he went on, tempting» to lend an air of casual- ness to the occasion., As a matter of fact he was keenly conscious of hav- ing felt impelled to rush to Mildred as soon as he heard there was trouble at her home. He didn’t bother to analyze the feeling, taking it for granted that it was merely a friendly interest in people who had welcomed him into their hospitality. But he did realize that his interest was belated—that he shouldn't have waited for a special event to bring him back if he really liked the fam- ily, and the realization created an awkwardness in his manner that was misleading to Mildred. She assimed that he was acting under politeness y. “Oh,” she said flatly, “it was nice of you to drop in. I’m sorry mother can’t see you; she’s asleep.” She motioned him to put his hat on @ table in the hall, but Stephen car: ried it into the living room and drop- ped it on the floor beside the chair he took. “Can't stay,” he remarl lightly. “I have to do a relief get downtown as soon as I can back, ‘Whyte's Persian fete.

Harold was there until all hours last night and ‘You're wrong, Pam. Mildred wasn’t playing up to Harold last night, if ever. She was nursing her. mother. You wouldn't be so severe on her if you had the faintest idea what she's up against ...” “So she's playing up to you, too? Working the sympathy racket? Well, when did you see her? Let me see, it was three o'clock when you brought me home last night. After that?” ** * Stephen turned and glared at her. “Don’t you know your insinuations are too cheap to get over?” he asked witheringly. Suddenly Pamela slid over closer to him and cuddled up to his side. ae, my boy mad?” she lisped mock- ly. Stephen shook her away from him. “I don’t care what you think of me,” he said angrily; “but you oughtn’t to insult Miss Lawrence. If anyone would receive a callér after three O'clock it would be you.” “It would be if I wanted to do it,” Pamela replied unhesitatingly. “Who ever started the idea anyway that our morals change with the hours? For me, I could slap a fresh guy just as hard at three a. m. as I could at three p. m.” “Well, you know Miss Lawrence isn’t like you and your red-hot friends that talk like Bowery belles,” Stephen Her | told her. “Anyway if you think it all right to be unconventional what's wrong with Harold staying up there as late as he pleases?” “One up for you,” Pamela admitted, “but it does make a difference, don’t. you think, that Mildred Lawrence knows Harold is in lové with her and revel Pee just oie whose father is safely in Europe?” “Again the dirt,” Stephen ‘morted. “Can't you believe that Mildred is no cradle-snatching adventuress? If Harold is so crazy-about her and she wanted him do you think she'd be working now?” t “I think she wants to marry him,” Pamela retorted. “Even with a stupe like Harold that may take time.” “Oh, for land’s sake, Stephen groaned and stopped “Here, take the wheel.
