The main point is that bob-hair is not new or original with this age or moment, nor is the wrath it excites without precedent. As far back as 250 years ago, we learn from a letter written by John Chamberlain of London — John was some writer in his day — the women of England went on such a short-hair debauch as to reduce “their men folks and even royalty,” to a state that was “almost frantic.” Indeed, the indignant and outraged king ordered the bishop of London to call his clergy together “to inveigh vehemently against the insolencies of our women, and theyre wearing of brode brimed hats, pointed dublets. theyre hair cut short or shorne.” In addition and significantly, the king gave it out * straight that, “if pulpit admonitions will not reform them, -s. I will proceed by another course.” Mr. Chamberlain was so sadly impressed by the conduct = of the clipped women that he closed his lugubrious letter "with this comment on the situation and the king’s order: “The truth is, the world is very much out of order, but whether this well mende it God knowes.” That, mind you, was 250 vears ago—in 1680 to be exact —and here we are again and with no king to interfere. The world thenadays, as it had been from the moment Adam and Eve violated the law of domicile, was galloping toward the devil despite the efforts of its disturbed royalty and frantic men. Today, short-sighted, short-changed and short-haired. it is doing the same thing again, or yet, according to those who claim to know. Always, always headed for the devil.: And ‘what “will mende it God knowes.” GHOST French inventors claim they have perfected a “ghost plane”—airplane without crew, piloted by wireless, carrying = explosives to be dropped on enemy armies by radio control. This is about the one-hundredth time such an invention has been announced. Of course, it’s quite possible. More than that. inevitable. You’ll notice the claim for this uncanny plane is that it . can deal out death. No boasting about economies in trans- *: porting mail or express to far distant or hard - to- get - to places. The airplane, to date, is primarily a war device. TILE A man reveals his real self by the way he wears his hat, claims Dr. C. W. Kimmins of University of London. | He says a hat well down over the forehead indicates a thoughtful, solemn wearer. Pushed to the back of the head, it advertises happy-go-lucky. ‘Tilted on the right side, the owner is usually a rowdy. Slouched to the left, is the cus- tomary position of a mental deficient. .. Women are intuitively wise when they fuss about get- > ‘ting their hats on at just the right angle. It’s the most im- portant trick of make-up. Maybe the best way for a man to play safe is to wear none at all. WHITE MULE Canadian rum sleuths claim there’s a pive line carrving “white mule” from Michigan into Ontario. We are so “dry” under prohibition that we are exporting liquor to Canada! Ontario is the last of the big Canadian provinces states) in the dry list. Others have returned wet after trying prohibition, except Quebec, never dry. Americans who go to Ontario and buy “back-door” hooch +from bellboys may be getting Yankee product colored and *~“Tabeled. It’s the most interesting of the major industries. GERMANS | French officers claim Germany has 350,000 troops in _tra‘ning, all of them being potential officers. The peace treatv reduced the German army to not exceed 100,000 men, including officers. “Security police’ permitted to her are xtras. Another claim is that Germany’s able-bodied war vet- ‘erars total seven millions. ‘More important and dangerous is what German scien- ‘ists are doing in secret laboratories. ESCAPED Fewer than seven million Americans pay national income ax.

(New York Times) An English agricultural corres- pondent of a London newspaper ‘begins his report on this year's Prospects by saying that it ig the “most political” harvest in recent history He goes on to say that England's relations with foreign countries and social reconstruc- tion at home are “strangely bound up” with the grain on Russian, Qanadian, American and British acres. The price of wheat has risen, he .thinks, on the whole from causes “which seem to be more real than they usually are.” Russia, barely able to feed her- self, exporting a smal] amount. Australia is growing more and more wheat, but what she sends abroad is absorbed by the Far st, which is shifting from rice to wheat as a staple food. The Prairie Provinces of Canada are a “marvelous of wheat,” though the harvest is far below the aver- are. ‘ for the English farmers, they are tired of selling thefr wheat at a loss, and are disposed to grow grain. solely for their own con- sumption. But much may happen yet to the price of wheat. A “move of financial plotters in Chi- cago” or a thunderstorm or con- tinned wet may ruin prospects and may mean to the English farmer the difference between solvency and bankruptcy. He is coming to realize with the Amer- ican farmer that agriculture is not solely a matter of local wath- er, that what befalls each, whether in Australia, the Argentine or America, is of concern to all. Per- ception of this truth lead to the organization of the International Agricultural Institute at Rome. Its estimate for even some remote country, as the Secretary of Agri- culture siates in his report, is cabled to the United States and broadcast before night to the farmers. The harvest is indeed “political” as well as economic, not only for the British Empire and for America but for the globe. THE IRISH QUESTION (Buffalo Evening News) The British Labor government is striving earnestly to solve the ‘oundary dispute in Ireland. A special committee largely made up of statesmen from the dominions now is considering what the crown government’s powers are in the mattcr—what further it can do to compose the differences between the Irish Free State and Ulster. The treaty between Great Bri- tain and the Irish Free State pro- vides for the creation of a com- mission of three members — one from each of the lrish divisions and the third from Kingdom—to pass upon the bound- ary question. North Ireland has refused to name a commissioner. It goes so far as to question the right of the British government to make a treaty with the Free State. The committee sitting in Lon- don has been asked by Premier MacDonald to decide whether the boundary commission could func- tion without Ulster’s membership, possibly with a Canadian or an Australian acting for North Ire- land. This is as generous a suggestion as it is possible in the circumstan- ces to advance. Throughout Mac- Donald has shown marked con- sideration for Ulster. He cannot permit this boundary question to remain open indefinitely. To do so would be to invite further trouble in Ireland. The British govern- ment would be accused by Dublin of not fulfilling a treaty obligation. That would be fresh ammunition for De Valera’ and his republican forces. » The whole ;structure of the FreesState might come tumb- ling down and civil war might de- velcp in Ireland, the South against the North. If the Ulster leaders have any sense of responsibility, they will bow to the inevitable and meet the terms of the trea ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS RY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON | MISTER SNIP SNAP “Hello,” said Silver Wings Nancy and Nick. “Hello!” cried the Twins, running and kneeling down beside the big stone on which the fairy had perch- ed herself. “We're ever so glad to see you.” “I'm glad, too,” said Silver Wings. “Guess what I've got.” he magic shoes!” shouted the Twins, guessing that they were to have more adventures. “That's what,” said Silver holding them up. And then she told them how much the little wood people needed clothes to go to school in. And how the Fairy Queen wanted them to help. And after that she gave them a lot of directions. to Wings “Hooray!” cried Nick. “Won't that be jolly.” “But I can’t sew so very well!” said Nancy doubtfully. “Oh. that doesn't matter a bit,” Silver Wings. “Mister Snip Snap will help you. Besides he has magic needles and magic thrend and I'm perfectly sure you won't have a bit of trouble.” & “AN rightee,” said Nancy obliging- ly. “I'd love to do it. Besides we're such good friends with the Crack- nuts family and‘the Cottontails and everybody. I'd like to see them all again, And unless we have the magic shoes on, they scarcely ever let us get a peep at them.” “Put on your’ shoes now, then,” said the fairy: “I must be going. I promised the Fairy Queen to go and sing a lullaby to the fairy babies in the milkweed cradles. Goodby.” Away she flew, looking almast : —— ees the United | THE BISMARCK: TRIBUNE Cookin actly like a bright blue dragon fly with silver wings. She disappeared in a patch of tall golden rod and blue wild-astors, “I think that fall is almost as pretty as summer,” said Nancy, look- ing after her thoughtfully. | “The er says, and—" “For the land sakes!

JOSEPH GRAVES HAMILTON TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT My dear John: I was very much ppointed to receive your ° tele- n, and I cannot 1 am that business tained you for the moment from coming over here. Leslie’s father has been’ fretting a. good, deal be- cause he has not been able to see you. He seems to feel that he has many things of importance to dis- cuss with you. [ think, John, er sorry has de- that my husband sion I tried to make him come to before we went abroad. I think he is contemplating very seriously re- tiring from business. With beth his daughters happily and comfortably married, he seems to feel that he has no more need of piling up mon- ey for just ourselves Of course this retirement has many good and many bad points. As you know, my husband is a self- made man, and I am not sure that having nothing that he must do will active temperament. I have noticed too many men who had worked hard all their lives who after shaking off all care of business, became either morose or did not live very long, not to make me somewhat anxious about this step. On the other hand, Jo- seph has altogether too much to think -of now, and he has broken down under it. I was in hopes, dear boy, that you would: come over and advise him.\ I do not know that you know it, John, but your father-in-law takes a great, deal of stock in your judg- ment, and I wish you could see your way clear to come into the business with him. Since Alice has married tell you how] has just about come to the conclu- | prove very irksome to a man of his| ing Pretty Good ~- | | Karl Whitney, I think my husband | is contemplating giving to Leslie a |much larger share of his property | than that which he gives to our youngest daughter. Probably he will divide the entire estate into three | equal parts, after taking out my | share, giving one part to Alice, one | to you, and one to little John. That division would have my approval, as you know that Karl Whitney is im- mensely wealthy, and Alice will have no need of anything that we can | give her. | 1am not trying to say, John, that you need any money. Both my hus- | band and myself have looked with | great pride at your splendid inde- | pendence, and your, father-in-law |has remarked many times that while he would be glad to help you in any way, he is also sincerely glad that you have worked out your own prob- lems in your own way and never asked his help. Leslie does not seem very well. I notice with great anxiety that she is much thinner than she was when she was in New York. I think I accused her of trying to reduce, but she assures me she has not been do- ing anything of the kind. She seems quite listless, as though almost any action was a great effort to her. Both her father and I are quite worried about her. I think she is lonely for her boy, although she has not mentioned go- ing home. She is a great comfort to her father, who is rather disgruntled over the fact that Alice saw fit to marry Karl without telling us she was going to do so. Let me know when you are com- ing. We will await it with great pleasure. Lovingly, your mother, ALICE HAMILTON. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)
