Take Revenge by Clipping Girls Hair

was shorn Of her locks as she lay
asleep. lost her crown Of glory be-
cause she was stuck up" It is strong
ly suspected that the vandals who
shipped or one OF her silken braids
were two boys, former playmates Of
hers, who resented what they regard
ed as her growing tendency toward
aristocracy.
Little Miss Weaver is the daughter
Of Claude Weaver, an attorney, who
Is considered wealthy. Barbara Weav-
er had been on friendly terms with
the children in the neighborhood Of
the family home. but is said to have
gained the idea Of late that her social
standing did not permit Of her con-
tinuing such relations. Two of her
CASTOR friends are believed to have
adopted the rape Of the lock" Idea to
express their resentment of these
high-fown notions.
This theory is strengthened by the
TACT that Cynthia Powell. a girl OF
Barbara's age, who attended school
with her, received BLACK Hand"

Ing newspapers throughout the coun-

business Of making small loans upon
the security Of pledge or mortgage of
personal property or assignment of
wages. Drastic laws have been in
voked in many states against it. So
cieties have been organized to protect
victims from unjust practices, but the
press accounts are soon forgotten by
all save the unfortunate clients Of the
money lenders, and the campaign to
remedy the conditions surrounding
the business has been marked by
years Of fruitless struggle.
Laws are constantly and uniformly
evaded. ignored and defied. The GOV
eminent officials and legislators have
repeatedly announced their firm in
tention to drive the loan shark out Of
existence. Grand juries have time
and again returned indictments
against these gentry, accompanying
their presentments with statements Of
extortion and oppression almost unbe-
lievable in this enlightened age, but
still this blot on our civilization re-
mains and appears to careful observ-
ers even to increase in size.
