OF action OF most extraordinary
nature must be done. The COM
munity has already suffered severe
ly as result OF the conduct that,
in point of disregard for order, COM
pares with some of the incidents that
are reported from the centers of
darkest Bolshevik Russia, as ex-
pressed or indicated in the mass
meeting this morning.
Undoubtedly the law abiding ele-
ment would be willing to contribute
to an almost unlimited reward for
the apprehension Of the culprits.
The community has been cursed
enough with such damnably outra-
geous episodes.

Mack, Fred Watson and l.. U. Sted-
man. This committee likely will
get together this evening and com
plete plans for the immediate in
stallation of guard patrol for the
community. Sheriff Stepp said the
committee would appoint as many
men as funds would permit and
that individuals with grit to pull
trigger would compose the guard.
The subject OF providing the guard
likely will be discussed this evening
at the city hall upon the occasion
of the City Councils session.
During the discussion of the extra
police proposal Mr.. Dunn, the Missouri
Pacific special agent precipitated
discussion by making reference
to night policeman that is now
upon the force tc the effect that he
is one of the railway strikers, in
timating that his official position
enabled him to communicate infor-
nation to those who may be in sym
pathy with the preparation OF the
bombings in the city This
statement was promptly resented by
former railway employees and
others present who were inclined to
discuss the subject at length, re-
sulting in the injection of some
unpleasantness into the session.
Judge Fntreil recommended the sus-
pension of the discussion, and for
the meeting to proceed in the execu-

c0uRTRnoM EFFIcIENCY.

IN the murder now on trial at MaTloH, lii'
for killings perpetrated in last summers massacre
At the Herrin coal mines it took exactly one month
to obtain jury Every prospective juror was fought
over as if he himself trial and the number OF
talesmen called into the hundreds There IS every
indication that the testimony ana argument VIII tah
longer yet
That is familiar picture, the rule rather than
the exception in important American lawsuits. But
it is not necessarily the only way Consider the SEN
sationa damage brought against the governor OF
mississippi by statehouse stenographer. There was
case involving 100000 damages and the reputation
OF the governor of a great state
The big trial opened the little town OF Oxford.
Judge Holmes announced that he himself would exam
inc the prospective jurors. He addressed the 30 men
as follows:
II presume all Of you read the papers, but I
any OF you biased or prejudieed in any way
That wholesale query resulted in the. excusing
Of three Then for plaintiff and defendant
took turns in challenging one man at time until
the original SO reduced to IL. Thereupon IL
were sworn in and the trial properly began.
The whole business of getting that jury occupied
one hour BY time the attorneys opening state
ments had been made Then the taking OF testimony
went ahead just expedtiously.
Isn't it a refreshing contrast? That is the way
they usually conduct trials in England, and the way
trials used to be conducted in this country 1t will
be a happy day for the administration of justice in
America when in general gets back
to such basic simplicity and efficiency.

LIPS'TICK CASE.
IS CARRIED into
HIC COURT
Arkansas Schoolgirl Deter
mined to Fight for
Right to Use
Cosmetics.
,Bv international News service.o

(By International News SerVlce.'
Knobel, Ark, Dec. 18.-The IA
nous "lipstick" case Of Miss Pearl
pugsley against the Knobel publlc
school BOARD of directors is due to
come up for argument shortly IN
the Arkansas Supreme Court.
Pearl had violated the boards or
der against the use Of cosmetics and
she was told to either go wash her
"artificial complexion or go home.
She went home.
The board explained that its or
der banning face powder, short skirts
and peek-a-boo waists in school was
made because 1--WE found it tended
to distract the attention, especially
OF the boys, in school,
Miss Pugsley, however, said she
believed in womens rights to use
ANYTHING on their faces that would
make them look better and brought
suit to force the school board to set
aside the rule, that she might return
to school and bring her powder
puff back with her.
Judge w. w. Bandy, in the clay
County Circuit Court, held the rule
was unreasonable and unjust, that
"boys and girls alike might wear
it without injury to anyone, nut
did not grant the mandamus, on the
ground that the testimony did not
show the school board had ever
sanctioned the action of Professor N.
E. Hicks, school superintendent, IN
expelling Miss Pugsley.
The case was appealed to the
Supreme Court, and the school board
has now adopted strategic pro-
gramme.
First, the board recently aban-
doned the two years high school
course in vogue at the school Tor
more than three years. Lack or
proper library and laboratory equip
Iment" is given as the cause for this
action. Miss Pugsley was in her
first year of high school when ex-
PEELED, and even should she win the
.mandamus she could not return to
school since the higher grades have
been abandoned.
Second, the boards petition in
the Supreme Court states the rule
banning use of cosmetics has not
been readopted and is not now in
force.
Miss Pugsley, the "Joan dare" of
the lipstick war, is now attending
school at Corning, six miles north
of here, where, she says, she is de
termined to complete her education.
'It wasn't desire to create trou-
BILE when the suit was brought"
she explained. 81 merely felt that
my toes were being trampled on, so
to speak, and the Irish blood in me
began to boil. I'm going to fight
the case to finish in an effort to
uphold the women's rights to use all
reasonable means to look their best
at all times.
"On his deathbed, my father want
ed me to carry the case to the
courts, and I'm going to do just
what think he would have wanted
me to do
Miss Pugsley says she has re-
sceivcd a half ton of letters" from
thousands of admirers all over the
country, who are asking her to
continue The fight she is wagins.
