out today accordingsto the latest
Of the meagre@ advices reachins
here The national troops reopened
their artillery bonn mbardment OF the
rebel positions in 'Connell street
Hast night, but the return fire was
comparatively feeble. Some OF the
correspondents intimate that the
continual plugging OF shells through
1.-THE walls of the buildings is design
ed to explode the mines or a ammu-
milton ~ Stores Of the defenders.
Some reports say that Cathal
Grugha, Harry J. Boland and Aus
tin Stack remain within the bonn
barded buildings. The prevailing
belief is, however, that he and his
companions are safe in another
part of the city, having quit their
dangerous quarters some time be.
fore the beSiegers closed these ap-
proaches to O'Connel1 street.
The reported capture OF Coun8
tess MarkievizE and several women
snipers has not been confirmed.
The story Of the d parture for
ireland OF several fighting airplanes
bearing the markings of the Irish
Free State is now said to have
been premature. It is stated, how
ever that an agent is here, nego-
tiating with the British authorities
for the purchase of planes. f
Rory O.Connors and his men. who
surrend erred after the battle of the
Four Courts, are being treated as
prisoners of war, according to Dub

Behold the transformation
wrought by the reformation of the
flapper.
At the left you recognize the close
up rear view of what has been the
most talked-of issue since the war,
the bobbed head-in its natural
state.
Passing on, you see what seems
to be a lovely head Of hair, done in
sweet, womanly way,
It's the same girl and the same
hair, with the addition of some more
in the way of a switch, designed
particularly for the growing-out
period.
Picture three shows how elaborate
structure may be erected on
bobbed foundation if one is equipped
with chignon or so, and bandeau.
At the right you see the way the
successor to the flapper will frame
her face this season.
Madame Louise Berthelon of New
York and Paris, who erected these
coiffures, supplied the why-when.
where element of the story as she
added hair and punctuated it with
hairpins.
With the long lines and Greeian
draperies of this season, you can't
have large head and short neck"
she said. "Bobbed hair was always
all right in front, but not in the
back, because it hid that line of
beauty from the side between the
back of the ear and the nape of the
neck.
1.-THE beauty of bobbed hair lay
in it's youthfulness. A woman could
lose ten years in a barber shop. So
this season we will keep the soft
line about the fact, and arrange the
front hair quite as if it We're bobbed,
but it must be dressed in the back
and the rouged lobe of the ear must
show.
1.-THE bobbed one buys one of the
new switches, which is joined in the
center and works both ways. She
pins this to the back of her head
securely, then pins her own bobbed
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-09-29

locks over this. She brings the ends
about and coils them over each ear,
keeping the bobbed ends carefully
concealed beneath the coils.
This makes flat couture, not
too stiff for her hats, but harmonic
ing with this seasons gowns.
IF the hair is thin about the face
one may add bangs, or little fluffy
side pieces which call dimples.'
There are detachable chignons of
curls land puffs which may be
fastened on securely for evening.
"Bandeaux, and flowers will be
worn in the hair, but the wide
headache band of last season is
not correct. In using switches, be
sure to show little growing hair
about the neckline to remove any
suggestion of artificiality'

Today, Bells is running a small
printing shop on the East Side here,
living obscurely with his wife and
four children. Publicity does not at

"Ah. they have offered me $4,000

monkey of myself" said Bells. Il

IF SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR

just the moment you apply Mentho,
Sulphur to an itching, burning or broken
ont skin, the itching stops and healing
begins, says noted skin specialist. This
sulphur preparation, made into pleas.
ant cold cream, gives such quick relief,
even to fiery eczema, that nothing has
ever been found to take its place.
because of its germ destroying prop
critics, it quickly subdues the itching,
eools the irritation and heals the eczema
right up, leayiag clear, smooth skin
in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples
or roughness.

Studebaker skill and crafts
manship, and the prices of
$3.50 for the Sedan and S1225
for the Coupe. Roadster are no
index to their inherent value.
When you buy a car you
want to look at several makes.
Include Studebaker in your
list and after you have ridden
in the Ligh t-Six Sedan or
Coupe Roadster it will not be
difficult tomake up your mind.
The foundations of Stude-
baker success are gu atty,
durability, comfort and integ-
rity-principles that have been
upheld steadfastly by Stude-
baker for seventy years. You
can depend upon Studebaker
automobiles because of the
name they bear.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-09-29

Present prices are the lowest
at which Studebaker Light Six
cloGedc cars nave ever been sold.
Yet the intrinsic values are
emphatically the greatest
Studebaker ever offered. This
means they are the best values
that the industry affords, be-
cause Studebaker cars have
always been above par in the
amount of value per dollar
invested.
Capacityproduc andthe
savings resulting from Stude-
baker methods of complete
manufacture make these low
prices possible.

am writing the story of my life.
1t is enough"
Bells is so, of medium height and
thick set. Iron-gray hair, heavy
spectacles and closely trimmed beard
give him the appearance of a pro-
fessor in a German university.
He spoke in Yiddish. The English
language has been too difficult for
him to master during his Is months
in America.
His children were gathered around
him in the dining room of the apart
ment house on Faile street last night
when he rehearsed the story of his
days when he stood trial for the muir
der of 13-year-old Andruchi Yash-
insky, in Russia.
Against Bells, the only Jew in the
community of 10000 Christians the
agents of the Gear argued the med
iaeval superstition - that Christian
blood was used in the Jewish rituals.
1T was the great protest of Amer
lea and England that saved me"
Bells exclaimed.

before Johnson became champion.
He's a member of the Johnson
family here and his folks named
him Jack-hence the name.
Now about his education.

protector Of his little master, Ralph
Johnson, primary school pupil, and
Ralph's little sister, who goes to the

The two children walk TO their
country school every day through a

with underbrush.
They need Jacks protection on the
way. So Jack goes along.
And. when they got TO school
Jack couldn't very we'll wait outside

So the teacher assigned a desk and
