NO BAN ON BOBBED

AIR

WOOSTER

t INTER NATIONAL NEWS SERVICE WOOSTKK, Ohio, Oct. Teachers In Wooster and "tVayhe county schools may bob their hair without fear of losing their Jobs. "I don't '.hlnk that school authorities who ask me no questions about smoking have any right to Bay whether or not girl teachers xnay bo1 their hair," declared County Superintendent G. U. Baumgardner, who has been at the head of "Wayne county schools five years. "I'm not a crank on smoking," Trot. Baumgardner explained, "but T think that. "as an example to pupils, emoklnj is more serious than bobbed hair. We have numerous teachers in the county's schools who have bobbed their hair. I cannot eee that it affects their teaching." City Superintendent G. C. Maurer declared that he haa not bumped into the bobbed hair proposition. "We had no bobbed hair teachers last year, a.id I don't know that we will have any of them this year. I hope not." ie said, adding, however, that he is convinced "a good teacher with bobbid hair would be preferable to a poor teacher with locks unshorn."

The Thirty Tears' War, 1618 to 1643, was considered by -military critics to be the most devastating previous to the world war. It involved all of Kurope and was basod largely on religion.

CHIEF WILL SEE GREATEST FIRE

HAMMOND'S

PREVENTION

WEEK

We all like to llvft In communities of "good .citizens" and perhaps, we have thought of pood citizens as those who respect our rlshts of course the same rule, applies to us as to thsm. Emerson has said that the way to have a friend is to be one; this means, among other thing-s, that the best way to have our rights respected is to respect the rights and promote the welfare of those about us. In shore the "good citizen" Is one who practices' the Golden Rule. Anyone who studies these lessons must realize that the good citizen cannot allow himself habits of carelessness. Such habits may make him a danger to others as well as to himself. "When we come to the question of fire prevention thes? are the main points to consider. First, a good citizen will try In every way to avoid being a cause of danger through, permitting any of the practices that we have been warned about. Second, he will remove all dangerous conditions that he may find In his cwn home, and; third, he will train himself to recognize dangerous conditions in the community and will use h's influence both to have them removed and to educate others to habits of carefulness. It is often said that the enormous I;re loss of the United States, with its terrible destruction of life and property, is very largely preventable. Statistics prepared by the national board of fire underwriters, through its actual bureau will show how foolish and unnecessary sre the causes for most of the fires. The correction must come not merely from better fire departments and better building laws, but from educating every family, and every member of every family to recognize causes of danger, and to ractice habits of consideration aid carefulness. If this could be do'r.r, fire would almost ffasf to hr a rnhli" peri!.

Pour points of fire safety: Don't use makeshifts instead of proper fuses In your electrical circuits, the fuse is the safety valve of the system. "Don't leave electric flatirons or other heatings devices turned on while attending to something else. "Don't look for a gas leak with an open flame light. You will ,e sure to find It. Use. an electric flash-light preferably. "Don't usi gasoline or other volatile liquids to remove spots from clothing or for other purposes. "Don't throw your lighted matche8 or smoking material where they can possibly cause fire. "Don't smoke ln bed. perhaps those guilty of thia practice are too guilty to burn, but the beds are not. "Don't let childreu play with matches or bonfires. "Don't fail to have your defective chimney and flues mended. "Don't forget to have the soot removed from your smoke pipe, if not cleaned the pipe may overheat and start a fire, when you operate the furnace. "Don't neglect to protect walls, ceilings and partitions from the overheating of stoves, furnaces and pipes. "Don't put hot ashes Into wooden boxes or b.irrels. "Don't fill oil lamps or stoves byopen flame light. "Don't let rubbish accumulate. "Don't fail to kee? a bucket of water and p. bucket of sand in a convenient r'ace for use in case of fire, they i.iay save the lives of your family as they have those of others." If people would only make these "fourteen points" permanent rules of conduct the power of the fire tyrant would b broken. ".VILLI M NT LI Chif of -Fir Department.

letter w4 i IwcgJeannePric JjvJ

NEW YORK. October 11. Th2 Rainy Daisies are to fore asaln. A good many years ago a quarter of a century to be exact--this group of New York women started agitating for short skirts for the street. They were quite revolutionary in their stand; they insisted that stormy weather demanded skirts a pood four inches from the floor; and they were credited with thi "rainy day skirt" which came into vng'.e to supplement the trained "best" tailored suit. They have rather faded out of sight in the past five years. Th.-re seemed to be no great demand for their activity. Eut now, the need has dawtiea again . So at their meeting place at 3100 Broadway, thfy passed a resolution the other day appealing

; to all women to "firmly resist the

i mandates of misguided designers

and dressmakers, and to insist that their clothfs, including panels and other draperies, be not nearer the ground than seven inches, and that they be cut in such a way and with sufficient matTial to permit perfect freedom of the limbs." Women may become engrossed in every business, profesional and political problem in th i world. But they don't throw asid in their Interest in feminine fripperies just because of that thank goodness! The Busin:ss and Professional Women's Kxposition held last week was undoubtedly the most Impressive exhibition of women's achievements in tha busines world that we have ever seen. There were wo

men brokers, motion picture producers, educators, publishers, manufacturers, and women leaders n various other lines -cf work; and :h?y were keen, efficient, womsn. Eut on one main aisle was an exhibition of new fall hats awfully fetching ones, they wore which was one of the most popular places in the hall; while on another aisle stood the Nestle hair waving booth, surrounded thr.-e deep by visitors who were supposed to he concerned

with the principles of government as outlined by a group just beyond thers; but Instead, were heartwholly concerned with learning how to get a permanent wave "exactly like yours" (That to the young woman showing them how simple the home-waving outfit worked.) Then at the' stroke of ten, they swarmed to the end of the big room where th2 fashion parade was about to pass. Olive are human yet. and ' feminine, and our new responsibilities are not at all shaking our obligation to the old onJ of making ourselves as attractive as possible. And that's just as well.

The big skull mystery of Conover stret has passed Into history. It had the Brooklyn detective bureau all agog for several hours. A lieutenant reported a human skull in the possession of some one in the street, and detectivss and police surgeons got on its trail. Sure enough, there it was, the property of a street cleaner, who explained that he got it fro mthe -driver of an ash cart, who got it from the owner of a candy store. The mystery was appalling. Did these people belong to a murder band, who passed the trophies around among themselves? Finally, the trail led back to Mrs. Schultz. She didn't look in the least like the member of a murder band. And when confronted with the skull, she didn't grow pale. "Oh, yes" said she casually. "All the mothers on Conov'or street used to use that to scare the children with. A sailor brought it from China. I never did believe in frightening the children like that, so I threw It away. I'd throw it away again if I was you." And th3 mystery dissolved. .

"Loyalties." by John Galsworthy, which has just opened at the Gaiety Theatre, is called by some of the critics the best play yet presented this season. It is the story of various sorts of loyalties to one's country. one's cast, one's clubs, and other groups of social and political life, which Mr. Galsworthy s:ems to consider a bit as artificial enclosures. He has told It with a remarkable faithfulness to reality real people, real words which they would use. and real reactions to the problems which thrust themselves upon them. The company is an English one. and it is produced by Charles Dillingham.
