WAIT FOR THEIR BOBS

ATLANTA. Ga. Nov. 10.-Women
with bobbed hair, in constant need
of the BARRIERS clippers, are so nu'
merous at Fort Bennings, Ga, that
a headquarters order has been issued
regulating the hours when they will
be permitted to usurp the officers
places in the chairs at the camp
barber shop.
At the officers club on the post,
where more than 500 officers are
sent for training, the bulk of the
BARRIERS time has been occupied in
trimming the locks of wives and
daughters, instead of having the
regulation military haircut, the Of
ficers have been attending parades
with shaggy locks. They found on
visiting the barber shop that the
chairs were continually occupied by
women.
Now the women may make APP

Everybody had a good time. and
it was later than they thought when
they returned, so the girls went tos

had been depleted on the trip. The
girls agreed to remain at the home

Armed with the necessary price

FACING Crisis
AGAIN
PainIeve Apparently Has Al
tentative of Accepting Capt.
tai Levy or Defeat
BY HARRY r. FLORY

PARIS, Nov. 10.-Premier Pain
leve called his cabinet into an
urgent session at noon today.
The cabinet was in session only
for a few minutes and then ad'
journed to meet again at $50 this
afternoon at the Elysee Palace
under the presidency Of President
Domergue.
In the meantime further efforts
at a compromise with the finance
committee Of the chamber will be
made. and it is hoped that the
premier will be able to suggest
proposals for a compromise to the
cabinet in its afternoon session.
Upon the decisions Of this cabi-
net meeting may rest the fate OF
the government.
On the face Of things it appears
that either painleve must give way
to the socialists and accept a capt.
tai levy, or he must go before the
chamber with his financial program
facing almost certain defeat.
The premier has steadfastly re-
fused to accept a capital levy and
in well informed political circles it
was believed that the cabinet would
decide to face the chamber and
take it's chance on defeat.

brought forward by the little fei-

that the small "home town" sta

from any move to stop broadcasting
