Bodied Hair Not Neuo Idea

Bodied hair is ancient, according 10
discoveries made in the little town Of
Wynn gton, Northamptonshire, Eng
land. The restoration Of the parish
church there has revealed a painting
depicting women with their hair
bobbed in the style of 1924 Hidden
under coating of thin plaster were dis
covered wall paintings representing the
resurrection and the judgment. The
plaster has now been carefully re-
moved to show the decorations. Most
of the figures In the paintings are
women. Some have their hair falling
about the shoulders, but the artist
has given the majority short hair, cut
exactly in the manner of the modern
girls couture. The vicar believes the
paintings are the same age as the
church, which was built in 1850.

Russians Fight Vodka
 By Economy Appeals
You Beat Your Wife And Break The Pots, Prohi-
 bition Placards Tell Drinking Populace

MOSCOW, July 13.-Russia has un. dertaken to solve the prohibition prob lem in her own way, and according to her officials, is succeeding.
 A marked decrease in the manufac- ture and consumption of sama-gonka, the Russian home-brewed vodka, is at- tributed to two reasons, which are:
 1. The fact that t5 per cent of the fines collected from bootleggers and moonshiners is turned over to the militia of the city or district where the violation is discovered. Since this of the militia to enforce the prohibition laws knows few bounds.
 2. The clever illustrative anti-sama- gonka propaganda.
 Russia now has special dry agents, but there is unit known as the "com- mittee of three" in each district, which does much of the Investigating. These committees are more dreaded by the lawbreakers than the police or even the former Cheka. The female members of these committees are said to be more merciless than the males.
 Stage Mock Trials
 From time to time the committees stage propaganda lectures with mock trials of the "samagonchik," as the moonshiners are called, as well as the purchasers. The entire community par. ticipates in these trials"
 In the villages and smaller provinvial towns, one sees scores of prohibition placarGs, which appeal chiefly to the purses of their readers. A typical one says:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-14

Do you want to pay less taxes Then don't pay the tax the sama-gon chik takes from you. Think of the great material loss it causes you. You use your grain for liquor, you have less bread to eat and less to SOW your fields with. You drink and when you are drunk you go home and beat your wife. The next morning she is bruised and sore and can't work.
 Break The Plates And Pots
 When you are drunk you don't know what you are doing and you break your plates and pots and must spend money for new ones. All this is caused by the samagonchik, who is wealthy on ac. count of your stupidity, and has big belly"
 Travelling propaganda agents, al ways communists, make similar ap. peals in lectures before the village as semblies.
 The present head of the soviet militia admitted to the United News that at the beginning of the enforce. ment campaign, the militia was mot quite clean," because of small salaries and human weakness. But, follow ing a general cleanup of the militia and appointment of communists to all important posts, he declared, conditions improved. Now he insists, with sal aries increased and 75 per cent of the fines going to the militia, enforcement is as near 100 per cent as possible.
 The results may be seen in the form of piles of destroyed stills in every viii lage. The women and girls, it is said helped to discover and confiscate the greater part of them.

 Why He Stands By Clients

over whose character we will drop the veil of charity. Indeed, some of my clients, thanks, perhaps, for their failure to secure better lawyer, have become the involuntary guests for fixed terms of the nation and the state.
 Since the law, however, is q profess sion and not trade, conceive it to be>the duty of the lawyer, just as it is the duty of the priest or the sur him unless, indeed, there is some in- superable obstacle in the way.
 No one in all this list of clients has ever controlled, or fancied that he could control, my personal or my po- htical conscience. am vain enough to imagine that no one ever will.
 The only limitation upon a right thinking lawyers independence is in the duty which he owes to his clients, once selected, to serve them without the slightest thought of the effect such a service may have, upon his personal popularity or political for tunes. Any lawyer who surrenders this independence or shades this duty by trimming his professional coun- sel to fit the gusts of popular opinion, in my judgment, not only dishonors himself, but disparages and degrades the great profession to which he should be proud to belong.
 You must not think me either in- different or unappreciative if I tell you in candor that would not pay this price for any honor in tLe gift of man.

Fortunately, as think, the decision as to my own availability or unakailability is ode that I am not called upon to make and do not seek to influence, so, even in spite of the alluring pictures that you paint, l must stand by my philosophy.
 What is life worth, after all, if one has no philosophy of his own to live by? If one surrenders this to win an office, what will he live by after the office is won? Tell me that!

A notable incident in the campaign for the nomination of John W. Da- wis was the publication of the let ter in which he refused to desert his clients as a lawyer in order to in crease his availability as a candi- date.
 Mir. Davis letter was made public late in March. It was a reply to let ters from Theodore Huntley, Wash ington correspondent for The Pitts burgh Post, urging him to sever his connections in New York and to re- turn to West Virginia so as to make possible his nomination.
 The reply of Mir. Davis reads as follows.
 I have read your letters with inter est. With renewed thanks, let me tell youThow this thing looks to me.
 If I were in the market for the goods you offer, would not complain of the character of this consignment, although I notice that you do not guarantee delivery! The price you put on them, however-referring to the presidency-is entirely too high. You offer me a chance to be the democratic nominee for the presi- dency, which carries with it in this year of grace more than a fair pros- pect of becoming the president of the United States. In ex- change I am to abandon forth with, and immediately, law practice which is both pleasant and, within modest bounds, profitable; to throw over honorable clients who offer me honest employment, and desert a group of professional colleagues who are able, upright and loyal.
