ALDERMEN ''AG|h"
HAT-P|N MEASURE
Ordinance Given Blach Eye In Com.
mittee, Despite Strong Advocacy
By Mrs. Robt. Standard.

Aid. Charles McCarty breathed
sigh OF relief, Monday morning. when
no troop of avenging women swoop-
ed down upon him in the hearing OF
the council committee on ordinances
regarding his proposed ordinance pro
hibiting dangerously long pins in wo-
mems headgear.
Only one woman was present, Mrs.
Robert STANDARD, representing the wo-
men OF the Fort-st. Presbyterian
church. She wore a demure little
turban. with just one long trailing
feather and no sign of n barbed point
which could injure any male person
eye or facial beauty. Mrs. STANDARD
moreover, was in favor OF the ordi-
nance.
II really think II is good thing.
and ! hope IL will pass" said Mrs
STANDARD, and il was then that NC
Carly began to breathe easily. Il
am so afraid that my husband will
be out some time and Will get Jab-
bed In the eye by one OF those horrid
long pins. suppose that the women
really don't think when they buy
them, for there really is no excuse
for them. I hope the styles will
change soon, any way. II isn't the
grown women so much that have
these pins as the little chits in tam
o'shanters, They will have from two
TO four pins stuck through at different
angles, and the way they keep their
little heads bobbing around, IL makes
them ever SO dangerous. But they
don't mean amy harm, poor things
I think IL such an ordinance as this
were passed, IL would serve to call
their attention to the matter and they
would stop wearing the long pins.
All the ladies have talked to are
perfectly in sympathy with the ordl-
nance"
Aid. Owens fatherly eye here
caught q glimpse of the long feather
on Mrs. Standards turban.
"If the ordinance comes up oil the
floor, | think | ought to move to have
feathers included, too he said with
smile.
Mrs. STANDARD gave the plume. a
curl back against her turban
II didn't know this was so bad"
she said but some of them are like
a feather buster suppose they ought
to be regulated"
No other women appearing. the
committee took the matter under dis
Cussion.
Il don't think we ought to try to
regulate women's dress said Aid.
Brozo We might as well say they
should not wear peek-a-boo waists. =
"Oh, don't go meddling with the
peek-a-boo waists" said Aid. Ow IN.
They're all the fun have"
They might as well compel driv-
ers 10 put rubber hoofs on their
horses for fear some one would be
hurt by a kick" said Chairman AL
Ian.
There's no comparison between a
horse and a woman instiste. McCar-
ty.
Allan, Brozo and Hindle voted
against the ordinance, and Aid.

Thursday afternoon, near the Will

or two. At the time We heard from
the hospital DR.. StinSon had not fin

thumb was badly mangled and both
hands injured. The accident was
due to the accidental discharge of a
shot gun which the boy was carrying.

others and was holding the gun with
