HAYS SEES ALL SORTS OF PEO- PILE AT HIS OFFICE AND GIVES
 THEM ABOUT FIFTEEN MIN UTEs TO DETAIL THEIR WOES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. - When Postmaster General Hays ordered his postmasters few days ago to oil up the hinges of the doors to their pri. vate offices and to institute the "open door" policy he knew what he was talking about as a practical proposition For he had first tried it out himself, and reported to his associates that it "worked fine"
 The "open door" is one of the ele- ments in the general policy of "hu- manizing the department" instituted by Hays. "The post office belongs to the people, and they have the right to see the postmaster at any time," is the theory upon which he goes.
 So, in line with this theory. the Postmaster General receives on several afternoons each week. He finds time to talk for five. ten or fif- teen minutes with all sorts of per sons who have matters in hand which they feel they ought to communicate to the postmaster general personally.
 These persons run the gamut of importance from COngressmen to or dinary employees of the Post Office Department and plain citizens. They sit in the big reception room outside the postmaster generals private of flee and wait their turns. Hays him. self sits at desk in a corner of the same room and calls them one by one
 On recent afternoon two Con- gressmen, a Civil war veteran retired from the postal service, several wo- men Gone of them a negress) and two newspaper men were seen in the room along with more than a score of others.
 'I'm retired, but just the same I'd like to get something to do to keep rye busy" the Civil war veteran was heard to remark to a companion Been with the department a long time and want to see if Hays can't do something for me-"
 The Congressmen were heard dis cussing postal patronage with each other
 "Couldn't get my man in over at Blank" one remarked "Theyre a lot stricter in civil service these days We'll maybe it's the best way" he added resignedly. Others. too, waiting in various parts of the room, commented more or less audibly on their particular difficultis. Whatever they were. each appeared satisfied after he had had his little chat with the postmaster general.

CT on my face I woul feel as fin complete as if I were dressed up and had no shoes.
 "The day I was dismissed from school MT. Hicks called for all girls in the room who had artificial con- plexions' to come up to the front and sit on the recitation bench. I went up front with two other girls. and, after reading the rule over to us, he said we would either have to leave school or go out and wash the powder and paint from our faces I told him that had nothing but ordinary talcum powder on, and he informed me that made no difference.
 Miss Pugsley is very reserved type of girl. She is about five feet two inches in height and weighs about 120 pounds She is pretty. even when the face powder is lack ing. She does not wear extreme clothing nor does she paint.
 "I would not permit her to paint her face under any conditions" her mother declared. "I have used pow der on all three of my chi1ren. even my son, from infancy. I feel that it is my duty to see that the health and complexion of my children are pre- served. The Irish blood in my veins has been boiling ever since Pearl was dismissed from school.
 Miss Pugsley summed up her credo as follows
 q am a Methodist love music and believe in powder"

CAN SCHOOLGIRL USE POWDER
 ON NOSE?
ARKANSAS GIRL REFUSED TO STOP USING POWDER AND WAS ExPELLED-NoW SHE IS SUING FOR REINSTATEMENT

KNOBEI., Ark, Jan. 13.-"To pow der or not to powder.
 Judicial decision on this delicate point has again been postponed. Over whe1med by press of litigation, the Clay County court has again deferred the famous cause of Pear Pugsley versus the School Board of District Number Eleven" Miss Pugsley was expelled from high school here be- cause she refused to abstain from the use of face powder, and she is now suing to be reinstated in school with out prejudice to her right of powder ing.
 Pending the courts decision the case is being tried ill the court of public opinion. And not only this town but the entire county is riven by the discussion.
 R. Mccoy, J. F. Sellmeyer and B. A. Scott are the members of the school board of District Eleven who decreed that "the wearing of trans- parent hosiery. low waists, short skirts or any other clothing tending toward immodesty, or wearing Of face paint or cosmetics are prohibited N. E. Hicks, principal of the school, car ried out this order and sent Miss Pugsley and two other girls home during the first part of the term when they failed to comply with the rule and told them to wash the powder from their faces.
 Hicks, who is also pastor of the Disciples of Christ Church of Knobel, declared that conditions in the school last term made necessary the adop- tion of the rule.
 Tt has been my observation that clothing and complexions which the rule we adopted prevents, disturb the morals of the school.' said Hicks.
 Hicks admitted that "just a little powder doesn't hurt" and it seems that the board is somewhat divided over this point in their rule. But when a meeting of the directors was held they stood as one in their dec larations that "now that the rule is made we are going to stand by it."
 While the case is pending Miss Pugsley remains out of school. She states today. however. that she is making arrangements to either enter school at Corning. neighboring town, or at Poplar Bluff. Mo.
 She stated that on the day of her dismissal from school she had very moderate amount of powder on her face.
 "I had always been taught by my mother to use powder on my face. v she said 'I had used it all my life, and if were dressed up and no pow

HER SPELLING VAGUE,

CHICAGO, Jan. 13. Mrs. Max Meyerowitz is not the best speller in the world, but she certainly can put an idea across.

 "Poly's" little billet doux was the basis of the decision of Judge Lynch to grant a divorce to Max.

Curb Market
ttepsrssst iSm.s

New York, Aug. 11.-SEandard Oil /!
issues came into increasing prom
inence ID the curb market today,
while dealings in other parts Of the
list fell of. Standard Oil Of Indi-
ana was active and strong, while
the New York shares gained four
points. Standard Oil Of Kentucky
was in better demand, Indiana Pipe
Line gained . point, while Anglo
American and International Petro-
leum merely held firm without do
inE much Of anything. Galena Sig
nal was an exception, at Sc It was
of q point from its last previous
sale on Monday.
Cities Service issues, 1oticeably
inactive during the early part of
the week, at length began to SYM
pathize with the Standard Oils. Cit
les Service rose four points and the
Dangers Shares we're fractionally
higher. Maracaibo Oil was bid up
more than a point, but In the after
noon most of this gain was lost on
profit taking. Southern States Oil
was higher on the announcement
that its subsidiary, the Columbia
Petroleum, had declared the regu-
lar monthly dividend of l per cent,
payable Sept. / to stockholders Of
record Aug. 20. Ryan Consolidated,
Carib Syndicate and Mountain Pro,
ducers were all steady. but Column
bia Syndicate and New England
Fuel Oil went lower
In the miscellaneous section.
Goodyear Tire, which broke badly
early in the week on the litigation
brought against the company in
criticism Of last years financing,
regained a good part OF the loss.
It sold up ~ points from its ex-
IRENE low. Other rubber shares
were neglected. British-American
Tobacco stocks were active al
slightly better prices. Stutz Motors
continued the feature Of the motor
| group, fuctuating over the range
Of a point. There was no impor.
tant change in the low-priced min
ing issues.

have called Judge Fitzhenry at
Springfield by long distance tele-
phone. !.
Judge FitzHenry is then said to
have given d verbal order for the
arrest Of the Moline mayor on the
two charges OF being in criminal
contempt OF court and of obstruct-
ing deputy marshal in the SER
vice Of the injunction notice.
Commissioner Sinnett declared
the deputies we're acting within
their rights when they posted the
injunction placards in a city park,
contending that the officers are un-
der orders to serve the injunction
notices whenever they have an op-
portunity. ..s-,.aa.-.-
In other words, the commission
er interprets the posting as an at
tempt to serve notice Of the injunc-
ton on the strikers.
Mayor Skinner contended last
evening that the strikers were al
ready aware Of the injunction or
der and that further posting of the
notice was unnecessary. The may
or held that the act OF the marshals
was not only unnecessary but
might have occasioned trouble.
Charges were also made that the
marshal acted deliberately with
the view of making trouble.
The marshals appeared to make
their headquarters while at the
park In an automobile containing
two officials Of the road. One o.
the deputies was seated in this an.

moved the Injunction placards.,

DruCoods Market
By STUART P.lWEsT
fCopyr1ght. 1y22.l

New York, Aug. 11.-Orders from
the south and the southwest, where
early fall buying to date has been
extremely light, were encouraging
factors in the drygoods market to-
day. Prices continued at an even
level, though the nervousness of
the cotton market was reflected in
some shadings In the standard
print cloths. The trade feels that
buying in volume will not begin
until the strikes are settled, but
once this happens large orders will
come in. Buyers generally see
their desires to purchase heavily
because of bountiful l1arvests in
prospect hamstrung by the coal
and rail strikes. Trading in the
sheeting markets was again ex-
tremely light
Yokohama advices, detailing an
increased volume in raw silk trad
ing, had the effect of bringing some
small orders from long silent
sources in the local market. Sell
ers generally maintained even
prices. no variations being reported
in thE advance Of 10 cents a>pound.
WOOL.
Boston, Aug. 11.-Some estimates
along Summer street place the
supply of bonded woods as low as
60, 0O0, 900 pounds, while others set
the figure nearer 100000 900
pounds. Suffice to say, however,
that a little activity in bonded
woods is evident in this market
today, some OF which is for ship
ment abroad. Generally speaking,
the market continues firm. Prices
Of from 30 to IS cents continue in
effect for thfee-eighths blood
wools,, the demand for which is
steady. Melbourne cables report a
market as quiet there as exists
! here.
