HIDE THEIR NATURAL BEAUTY
Jewish Women Wear Wigs as a Matter
Of Duty, According to Ancient
Custom.

Among the women crowding about
the vendors one sees here and there
the wig that every Jewish woman,
according to the custom, should wear
when she is married. In Russia the
bride still covers her pretty curls;
in Chicago-one can hardly expect
a Chicago girl to do that. 1t is
only the old women who refuse to
depart from the habit of years. This
odd fashion-you will notice it is al
ways some ones else fashion which
is odd, never our owns an outward
symbol Of high ideals. The wife
dons the wig that all may know her
thoughts are not on the vanities, but
on the serious things of this world
It must be a great race the women
of which through centuries would
consent to hide their beauty under a
wig of straight, coarse hair. The
m~artyrdom of Jewish beauty follows
a remark credited to an ancient
woman. Asked what she had done
that she should become the mother
Of two high priests she answered,
The walls Of my room have never
,nce seen my own hair" With not q
hought to spare on vanity and idle
ness she had given all to the %raisinl
Of her sons. She had developed il
them such wisdom, such character.
that they were fit for the high priest
hood. She was taken for a pattern
md the race of Jewish women thence
forward inundated itself and lived
up to the ideal insofar at least as
the wig. But, oh, what a strength
of religious enthusiasm it must have
taken at times!-Chicago Post.

RAIL RECORD NOT IN DANGER
According to This Story, tho Speed Of
the Train Left Much to Be
Desired.

It was a cruel thing to say about
a nice railroad whose chief aim was
the speedy transportation of its pas
sengers, but the conversation had
turned to Lightning expresses, and
Wallace Irwin, the author, simply
could not help it.
.On the road in question, as Mr..
Irwin related the story, a train
stopped one day and the passengers
we're told that a COW had gotten on
the track and had to be driven off.
Up the road a few miles farther
the train stopped again, and once
more the explanation was given that
a COW was on the track. Two miles,
perhaps, of continuous going, and
then came another stop. This time
a passenger glanced YEARLY toward
the end Of the car.
Mr. Conductor" he called out in
yawning accents, could l speak to
YOU a moment?"
Certainly" answered the conduc-
tor, moving down the aisle, "what
is it?"
"Do you really mean to say" re-
-urned the passenger in a voice that
was almost a sigh, chat we have
caught up to that COW again."

WITHOUT "RELP" OF LAWYERS
Peoples Courts in Germany and Kan
sas From Which Legal Technl-
calities Are Barred.

Germany has a system of peoples
ourts from which lawyers are barred.
The object is to insure prompt and
heap justice for the poorer elements
Of the community, The procedure in
these courts is businesslike and free
from technicaIities and red tape.
Now Kansas has followed the ex-
nipple Of Germany and established by
.aw a system of ~lawyerless courts,
City or county commissioners are ems
covered to appoint a judge for a
lcbtors court from which lawyers
ire excluded. The plaintiff must tell
his own story, as must the defendant,
There are to be no technical pleas,
md no legal iargon, The Judge may
all witnesses, examine them in his
)wn way, or otherwise investigate the
'ase. A few such laws and expert
ments as this may cause the average
.awyer to take some interest in law
eform, in the movement for eficien-
", sanity, and simplicity in our
ourts Of justice, says the Chicago
Record Herald. Business men, too,
rill take notice and ask why they,
hough not poor, should pay for de-
avs, meaningless t~echnicalities, YER
'age and professional tricks, wheth-
r ethical or low. Law reform is
@aiting for the ak and Kansas has
made a beginning.
