 PARIS, Nov. 29-Bobbed hair has brought its reaction. Those who be- came leaders of the fashion by cutting their curls now find there are too many like themselves, and many are letting their hair grow so they may again be distinguished by being un- usual.
 They justify their desertion of the short-haired ranks on the grounds or economy of time and money. Bobs, to be effective, they say, must be trimmed every week or ten days and good appearance requires curling every two 6r three days, while long hair is less bother.
 Besides objecting to the loss of time, many rebel against paying from double to ten times the price of mans hair cut. The hair dressers reply that fash ionable cuts call for fashionable prices, and one leading trimmer adds:
 "Women are difficult customers. The best of them is more trouble than the worst man."
 Bobbing, however, is not suffering any setback. It is estimated that 5,OOO Paris girls, mothers and grandmothers get their first bob every day and the longhaired desterters are likely to have an army of generals only, particularly as the transition requires rather long period of semi-retirement or the wear ing a wig.
 Parisians Incensed
 The parading of Moscows red flag through the streets of Paris by thou sands of marching communists on the occasion of the transference of Jean Jaures' ashes to the Pantheon has aroused some agitation on the part of those who fear the effect of bolshevism on France.
 After Kerensky-Lenin," the con- servative newspapers daily affirm and they have no hesitation in declaring that Premier Herriot is the French Kerensky to whom they refere.
 Former President Millerand is lead ing the "hated bourgeoisie." He has or ganized a political league and has be- come honorary president leaders pie ture NJ. Herriot's parliamentary major ity as ''revolutionarists without coun- try and predict civil war unless their efforts are successfully opposed.
 The communist demonstration at the Jaures ceremony developed many in- cidents which were not brought out at the time. Generals in uniform were hooted, many fights occurred between the spectators and communists over cries or down with the army" and allegedly seditious banners were displayed. One man who attempted to wrest red flag from communist was arrested He offered as his defense that it was his duty to oppose revolution but the police were puzzled as to what to do because the soviets now are recognized ssN fhoU m sol Inv | charging the patriot with carrying a | concealed weapon in the shape of pocketknife.
 Expensive Lessons
 Teaching Europe to play baseball cost the New Giants Giants and Chicago White Sox upwards of $20,000 but both John McGraw and Charles Com isky are, game" and say they will re- turn next year. The two leaders were aware before they left New York that the trip would cost money but they wanted to give the boys good time" and also do some propaganda work for baseball in Europe.
 The old country's education, they | felt, will be difficult to achieve but | they hope next year with the help of experienced advance agents and with publicity started earlier, to make a bet ter showing.
 More money was taken in for the two games played in Montreal and Quebec before the teams sailed than for the entire six games played in England and France. The total receipts in France amounted to $4,OO0.
 The trip awakened some interest here in Americas national game and one result was the foundation of a l French baseball federation, headed by Frantz Reichel, former secretarygen eral of the French Olympic committee. The federation is expected to facilitate future trips by America major league teams to France.
