HARASSED WOMEN LEARN THAT
HAIR-BOB IS ONLY HALF OF IT
Once mere the 'world is confront
ed with a weighty question, and on
the answer hangs, by a hair, as it
were, the fate of thousands.
Time was when the anguished que
ry “To bob or not to bob? oc
cupied the entire attention of har
ried womanhood, and in tearooms,'
business offices and polling places
there was not other subject of con
versation.
Today, however, all is changed.
True, there is still more or less
steady stream of girls and women,
with long hair on their heads and
grim determination on their faces,
flowing through the doors of hair
dressing establishments, to emerge
* short time later with shorn
locks and beatific expressions. They,
at last, have solved the minor prob
lem. But alas, alas, their troubles
are by no means over! >
For no sooner is that question
aafely settled than the latest and
most important problem presents it
self. Is the bob going out of style?
O wails and lamentations! 0 horrors!
Moving of Three Billion Dollars
Marred Only by Pigeon Tragedy
New York, Sept. 25.—Three bil
lion dollars in cash and securities
were hauled through the streets of
New York yesterday. The only un
toward incident was the death of
a pigeon run over by an armored
trade.
This page from Arabian Nights
was the result of the Federal Re
serve bank’s moving its quarters
from the Equitable building two
blocks to its new home at Nassau
street and Maiden Lane. The trans
fer required twelve and one half
boars.
Forty-five steel inclosed trucks oi
the American Express company, pro
tected by machine guns and armed
guards, made 100 trips carrying an
average of $30,000,000 each trip.
Heavy Rains, Have
Been Detrimental,
Says U. S. Report
Atlanta, b Sept. 25.—The past week
was about normal in temperature,
with considerable cloudiness and
frequent rains, according to weekly
report of the U. S. Department^ of
Agriculture.
After the heavy rains of the pre
ceding week, the rainfall was detri
mental and delayed harvesting oper
ations considerably.
The damage to cotton by the
heavy rains of last week was much
greater than at first reported; .
much cotton was beaten out of the
bolls, discolored and grade lowered.
There are some reports of cotton
sprouting in the bolls, and of new
growth of the plants, but is impos
sible that new bolls can be matured.
Cotton continues to open, but more
slowly, and picking was delayed by
rains to some extent. However, cot
ton has all been gathered and ginned
in numerous southern counties, and
the work is progressing as fast as
possible in the central-northern por
tions of the state. Weevils are dam
aging upper cotton bolls consider
ably.
The condition of cotton remaining
in the fields is only poor to fair,
though much better than last year.
Further improvement is now impos
sible.
Some very late corn was benefit
ed by rains, but the bulk of the
crop is much below previous expec
tations.
Abundant moisture has been ben
eficial to sweet potatoes, fall truck,
especially turnips and spinach, pea
nuts, sugar cane, hay crops and pas
tures.
Fall plowing for winter wheat
and oats has commenced in many
counties.
An automobile designed for tra
vel over snow and ice has revolv
ing, egg shaped drums in place of
the wheels.
To have crossed the Rubicon, to
have burned all bridges behind one,
only to find another bog of indecis
ion and uncertainty before—than in
deed is a cruel trick of Fate!
“I told you not to do it. Now
perhaps you’ll listen to me next
time.
so remarks husband after reading
the report that shorn tresses are
about to become passe.
a Your hair is falling out, Madame.
I have noticed it among so many
women who have bobbed their hair,
for the stimulation caused by the
tugging that goes with the brush
ing and combing of long hair is ab
sent and circulation becomes slow
and sulggish as a result.”
So speaks Milady’s hairdresser.
And Milady, thoroughly alarmed,
feels that pleasant complacency of
hers slowly slipping away. Has she
indeed made a mistake? Is long
hair after all more beautiful? And,
most important of lal, is short hair
going out of style?
Well, only time will tell.
The trucks moved through lanes
formed by, 150 New York policemen,
under command of Chief Deputy In
spector Thomas H. Murphy.
W. H. Moran, chief of the United
States secret service, who super
vised the entire movement, had 25
picked secret service agents Watch
ing every doorway, window and
street corner.
Members of the bomb squad
swarmed skyscraper roofs to survey
the general territory. Other city
police formed a cordon, cutting off
the entire section bounded by Wall,
John, Nassau and William streets.
This is the largest transfer of
money and was more elaborately
guarded than any other transfer
that has ever taken place in New
York.
Leopold and Loeb
Begin to Despair;
Ideal Prisoners
Joliet, 111., Sept. 25.—-“Those mil
lionaire kids work too hard.”
This is the complaipt which oth
er denim clad convicts make of Na
than Leopold and Richard Loeb,
who are finishing their second week
of life sentences for killing Bobby
Franks, according to Warden John
L. Whitman.
“They have been ideal prisoners, »
Whitman said. “The only complaint
we’ve heard is that ‘those mlllion
aires work too hard.”
Foreman Leopold, Nathan’s old
est brother, visited the boys. He
brought a lunch which the youths
ate lustily—talking to their visitor
when they could find the time be
tween gulps. L
ai According to the penitentiary
guards, both Leopold and Loeb are
beginning^, to realize the situation.
Despair is just beginning to be ap
parent. Loeb, they say, is standing
up somewhat better than Leopold,
but both are shaking under prison
routine.
it That damned gong at 6 o’clock
every morning is what jars the
life out of me,” Loeb said.

“It take* nine tailors to make a

Betty spends hours between .the

the costumes in which you will see
her when the picture is released.
n I hope I am not giving away a
professional secret,” went on Betty,
“when I say that every successful
actress knows the value of clothes—
that her costumes influence her and
the audience also. No screen de
signer can successfully create a
gown without the suggestion of the
actress who wears it, because the
