Special Dispatch to The Star. LYNCHBURG, Va., September 3.— ‘The Otter river picnic, a survivor of the times before the civil war, held its sixty-third reunion Wednesday on the grounds at the mouth of .the Otter river, near Altavista, where people in large numbers have gathered for more than six decades from nearby counties. ‘The -picnic now is provided for by descendants of men who made it pos- sible in ante-bellum days. One of the features of the day was the presence of Smith Hubbard, an old-time negro, who dispensed lemonade for the for- tieth year without a_break in his service. An old-time Virginia picnic dinner was the big feature and danc- ing went on without a break, save for dinner, for seven hours. WOMAN SEEKS OFFICE. Mrs. Biser of Frederick Out for Maryland Legislature, Special Dispatch to The Star. FREDERICK, Md., September 3. “F'm going on the stump. I'm conduct- ing my own campaign and no one is backing me."” Thus speaks Mrs. Irene Biser, wife of a local coal dealer, who has the distifiction of being the first woman candidate in erick county for a countywide elective office. Mrs. Biser is a candidate on the republican ticket for member of -the state legislature. “You know, some people think it takes nerve to run_ for public office. 1 don’t think so. It takes 'nerve to violate a law, to be a bootlegger, for instance. It takes moral courage to be a candldate,” she declares. MAY BUY LANDING FIELD.

Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE. September 3.—Not- withstanding the fact that national prohibition has been in effect going on three years, the “wet and dry question_crops up in_every election held in Baltimore, and the primaries on next Friday have proved no ex- ception to the rule. That the men elected to the next legislature from Baltimore city will be strongly opposed to the passage of a state prohibition enforcement act and in favor of a liberal Sunday, whether democrats or republicans are chosen, is indicated by a poll of the candidates of both parties, which was taken by one of the daily papers this week. All the candidates of both parties were asked these questions: Are you in_ favor of a state Vol- stead act? Are you in favor of a more liberal Sunday or opposed to it? All the forty-six democratic candi- dates answered the questions. Of the thirty-six republican candidates thirty-two replied. The results were: Democratic: For a state prohibition act, 2; opposed, 33; non-commital, 11 For a liberal Sunday, 37; opposed, 0:_non-commital, 9. Republican: For a state prohibition act, 1; opposed, 18; non-commital, 13. For a liberai Sunday, 24; opposed, 0; non-commital, 8. Total of United Vote. If the forty-six democrats and the thirty-six - republicans, making a total of eighty-twe, are thrown together, the results show the vote as_follows: For a state prohibition act, 3; op- posed, 51; non-commital, 25. For a lliberal Sunday, 61; opposed, 0; non-commital, 17 From this it will be seen that no matter which party is .successful and has a majority in the next legis- latufe, it will be impossible to enact any “dry” or Sunday blue laws legis- lation. With the primary election, which will be held in every county of the state, as well as in Baltimore, less than a week off, in few bailiwicks is there as little political excitement as in_this city. The one and only exciting feature of the campaign S0 far has been the ttack made upon the democratic;har- mony plans of Gov. Ritchie, by which he brought the Mahon and Kelly fac- tions together, by “Danny” Loden, former right-hand man of “Sonny" Mahon, who charged, in a speech in his stronghold, the nineteenth ward, that “The” Kelly had succeeded in selling out the city democracy to the state crowd and that after the elec. tion Mahon would find himself “hold- ing an empty bag,” with Kelly in ab- solute control of the city organiza- tion. Whispered Rumor Abroad. This _attack would probably have been passed by with little or no no- tice had it not been for the whis- pered report that Loden was backed by former Mayor Preston, who, it is said, is also dissatisfied with the deal that has been made by the city lead- ers with Gov. Ritchie. Outside of this rumor, Loden’s attack on the harmony ticket is looked upon as the natural result of having been left out of the combination entirely by his former political boss, as well as an effort to hold his leadership in the nineteenth ward. here have been rumors this week that the former mayor is taking part in the talk of an independent ticket, but there has been no evidence that he has. But Mr. Preston has said nothing publicly either for or against the present democratic slate and is non-commital on all questions of a political nature that have been put up to him. The talk of an independent ticket being placed in the field also seems to have died a natural death, and it is now known that such a move was started among the ultra wets, who thought they saw a chance to put across something on the dry element in both parties.. —_— MAY TABOO CARNIVAL.

Secretary Henning said the investi- gation had been made necessary by domination of the immigration bu- reau here by the fleld service. The department has decided. he added, that in the future the field service will be controlled by the department and the commissioner general of immigra- tion and not by the individual ports. Antiquated methods, Mr. Henning continued, have prevailed for several years, and at some tations where the officials have been in the seérvice twenty-five years the methods have not changed to any perceptible degree in that length of time. “All ports will stand a little investi- gation,” Mr. Henning said, adding however, in most cases would become a matter of improving methods and bringing about greater efficlency. Furniture 0, 'SEPTEMBER 4, 1991—PART' 1. Bobbed Hair May Be Cute, But— It Also May Be “Vapid and Silly” By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 3—Some people have begun taking bobbed hair seriously. . A few of them, apparently bellev- ing that the absence of long tresses outside the head leaves the impres- sion that something I8 lacking with- in, have informed the world that bobbed _ hair and business officiency don’t mix. Several railroad officers have taken the same position as the Chicago department store which noti- fled its feminine employes that they must either let their hair grow out or be let out themselves, and all man- ner of people are carrying the con- troversy to that 5Dod old democratic J. EDGAR WALTERS DEAD. J. Edgar Walters, for many years a prominent. banker of southwestern Virginia and at the time of his death connected with the Riggs National Bank, died at his residence, 1517 Caroline street, Thursday, after a brief illness. Mr. Walters was born in Salem, Va. and spent the larger porton of hi; life in that state, where he was i prominently _identified with financial interests.

And here sre some of the things they wrote the editors: - “Bobbed-haired girls may not be vapld and silly, we don’t say they are, but you can't get around the fact that they look that way. And, naturally, = girl that appears frivol-. ous is not wanted in business, even though she may actually be seriour minded.” : “Girls have a right to wear their kair any way they see fit, so long as it appears neat and respectable, and only a vapld and silly person would think for one minute that becaum the hirsute adornments were short 'and snappy the owner was frivolous.” “Bobbed hair is just one of those {(ooll'h ads that that crazy crew down in Greenwich Village started The women around the country really opght to know better than to imitate them, but you know how young girls are—they like to take up new things, and you can't tell them anything. Maybe the offices that are putting 2 ban on bobbed hair will teach them a lesson—goodness only knows, the> need it.” Ald to Business Eficiency. “Bobbed hair is not a foolish fad. 1t is the most sensible way for busi- ness girls to wear it. They don't keep ilooking at the mirror all the time, and it gives them a chance to type a letter all the way from the ‘replying to your favor to the ‘we beg to re- main’ without having to fidget around trying to keep strands from tickling the ears or blowing in the eyes. “I don’t know what this younger generation is thinking about. No that bobbing her hair improved her appearance. I always say that if the Lord had intended for women to have short hair He would have made them that way. It's just one of those fads, though, and there is no use worrying about {t—the girls will soon get over it and come back to their senses.” Chkampion Comes Forward. “Certainly the girls of our day dress more sensibly than _their mothers did, and bobbed hair is one sensible parts of their It is cooler and more and you don’t have to very few minutes to do Jt requirés only a few min- utes’ attention each day and alwa: looks fresh and neat, and this gives 2 girl more time for serious reading and things. Reformers that are al- ways criticizing_everything new get on my nerves. If some of these men had ever bren cursed with long hair they would think twice before tryi to tell the young girls how to dress.” And so it goes. In New York the anti-bobs have confined their campaign against ab- breviated coiffures to writing their opinions and talking about them. A few personnel directors of large con- cerns have said, with the precaution of requesting that their names not be used, that they were seriously con- sidering regulations against bobbed- haired types. But that is as far as the matter gone. Some of the masculine employers gave up hope of regulating it when they learned that the girls could easily fool them.
