Macon, Oh., Oct. 24.—For a while, at
least, will old police court offenders
and chain-gang habitues breathe sighs
of relief. Judge Nottingham, the In
ventor of heavy fines and the terror of
evil-doers, has resigned. He tendered
his resignation last night to the coun
oil. It was accepted and Guerry Cuba
nlss. his latv (tanner, was elected to
till the vacancy.
Judge Nottingham succeeded Judge
Malt R. Freeman as recorder nearly
three years ago, ami although a stren
uous tight was made against his elec
tlon after the last municipal primary’

two years. Almost Immediately ...
struck terror to the hearts of police
court visitors by his heavy tines nnd
the result was that many censed their
visits there. Home of his heavy sen
tences caused the famous hnbeas corpus
cases before Judge Bpeer. Old offend
ers accustomed to paying 22.50 for a
plain drunk found the price raised ac
cording to the frequency of the visits
and 240 or 30 days for a drunk has
been known.
The new recorder Is an attorney, the
partner of Judge Nottingham, and came

THE NOVENT PETTICOAT
In practically all gowns this season, the waist line is long, slender and as
unbroken by sharp trimming effects as possible. The fit is snug over the
hips—the approved effect—and the folds fall generous and undulating about
the feet.
Ordinary petticoats, bulging and bulky, aretsure to mar the attractiveness
of prevailing styles. The “NoVent” alone has the right contour. Without
gathers, vent, buttons or hooks and eyes-.
Glove-fitting jersey top. Elastic waistband. Produces new bell-shaped
figure. Encircled at the base by a deep flaring flounce, in a profusion of
new styles.
Hindered and hampered by ordinary petticoats—seamed, gored and gath
ered—no woman can walk with the easy, buoyant, rhythmic movement im
parted by the “Novent.” This is the petticoat that molds hips and waists
into the slender proportions and the graceful curves demanded by reigning
modes. Many of New York’s fashionable dressmakers will fit over no
other petticoat. Glove-fitting jersey top. Elastic waistband. Produces
new bell-shaped figure.
With Lustrous Satine Flounce 1.50, 2.00 and 2.50.
With Black Taffeta Silk at 5.00.
