CANNON TO QUIT THE WEED.
Speaker Says He Is Trying to Stop
Smoking Cigars.

Plattsburg, N. Y, Aug. 24.-speaker
Cannon is here %rusticating and, ac-
cording to his W unwinking state
ment, is struggling with the demon
habit of smoking. For 40 years the
speaker has been smoking from ~ to
10 cigars a day. He says that now
he smokes three or four, but refrains
from saying how many more.
Although the speaker is seen to
smoke only three or four cigars a day,
his friends believe that he will go
back on his record from the fact that
he disappears at frequent intervals
during the day in the direction Of the
woods. The really wise ones say that
be will quit smoking all right-when
he is dead.

NEWARK GIRLS
POMPADOURS
NOTTOOBlG
Managers of Department
Stores Will Not Restrict
Their Size.

Both employers and employees of local
department stores have evinced much inter-
est in a published story which stated that
the managers of the Plttsburg department
stores had declared wal ON the big POM
padours worn by some of the girls, giving
them the alternative of abandoning their
beloved rats or accepting a blue slip"
in their envelopes, Some OF the girls re-
belled and were discharged without rec
concentrations, as many as twenty. going
from one store.
The store managers claimed that they did
not mind a small, neat pompadour, but as
for the large ones-NO!
The managers and superintendent of the
local shops say that they have never found
reason for making such a rule.
w want our girls to look their best at
all times said Albert j. Hahne, of Hahne
e. Co.. that is why we ask them to wear
black during the winte- ,onths. While
some are natural' 4slerul and know lin
stinctlvely whas is in good taste, others
would allow their fancy for colors to run
riot II we gave them al opportunity, and
would stand behind the ounters decked in
all of the colors of the ainbow But l
have never noticed hat the pompadours
of our girls were too large or conspicuous,
and l hardly approve of restricting them
in the matter of arranging their hair.
II cannot give much of an opinion he
added. for 1 have never had occasion to
give the matter much thought"
The superintendent of another large
store did not think it advisable to dictate
to the girls as to how they should arrange
their locks. we trust to our girls dis
cretion," said he.
Other managers were of the same
opinion, placing confidence In their women
employees and in their good judgment and
sense of the fitness of things.
Indignation meetings among the clerks
were the order of the day. THE idea of
such a thing" said one young woman,
whose hair waved back from a pretty
forehead, mo girl of good sense would
make herself look ridiculous, whether ii
was the fashion or not, and extreme
~prompadours are certainly worth laughing
at. 1 think we girls have as much sense
and taSe as any women living" and her
sentim mt was echoed by all who stood
near.
1t is hardly likely, in the face of the
above evidence, that such a rule will come
to Newark for many a day.
