GIRLS SCANT CLOTHES
FREES HER ASSAULTER

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Dec 22.-
Just how must a pretty girl dress,
or how many garments must she
wear to mafe it crime under the
law, for a wealthy young man to
beat her up?
This question is being debated on
the streets with religious fervor
the assault trial brought against
Arthur Rich, a wealthy young sports
man, son of George A. Rich, mil
lionaire president of the Rich Steel
Products company.
Louise King, nineteen. pretty
testified that Arthur Rich took her
motoring. that they stopped to en-
ter a field to see a spot where Rich
had made a splendid golf shot and
Jurors Explain.
But here's what one of the three
rich of criminal assault said:
"The testimony in this trial con-
vinced the three of us that Rich
did criminally assault Miss King;
that he broke her jaw and frac
tured her nose and blackened her
eyes, but
Then came the startling explana-
tion of their refusal to agree with
the other nine men that young Rich
was guilty:
ANY girl who wore the scanty
clothes that Miss King admitted
wearing, well, just about deserved
what she got"
And here's what the fair young
coed wore on that fateful night,
according to her own statement:
A dress, rolled stockings and a
teddy bear.
Condoning of Arthur Rich's act in
conservative Battle Creek is an in
dication Of the attitude which the
country seems to be taking toward
assault cases in general-especially
when wealthy young men are charg-
led with the act There have been

defense has brought out the man

READY FOR
WIG FAD
Shingles and Bobs May Be
Hidden Under Reds
and Blues.
BY Eloise Walton

A fad's a fad for a that and a
that, whether it's carriers below the
knee or colored wigs to match the
evening frocks. The ladies, Lord
love 'em, do run to extremes, and
they're certainly doing a lot for
the dye manufacturers this eason
AS the gowns get gaudier and
gaudier, the colors race to shoes
and hose, and noW-wigs. 1t isn't
particularly new-just a revival of
an old fad that flourished about ten
years or SO ago. Then, some Of the
wigs were made of colored spun
glass, and you couldn't put a wig
on without getting your fingers full
of fine glass. But times do charge,
and now these fancy, near hirsute
accessories are made of silk and
fiber or silver thread.
According to local h~airdressers,
the fad is having quite a vogue in
the East, and a number of Indian
apolis shops will lay in some Of
these wigs preparatory to the fall
opening, when the social season
starts again. Indianapolis Clubs will
surely tremble with suppressed ex-
element to see conservative Indian
apolis women tripping lightly in
bright French frocks and, gaudy
French wigs.
Remember the fairy princess who
had a cabinet full of pretty heads

land could change her head as often
as her disposition? The modern
woman is getting into this class
when she can have a wig to match
each gown.
1--WE had a great many calls last
winter for these colorful wigs" said
one beauty shop proprietor, but we
were unable to fill these orders be-
cause not enough wigs. were i'm
ported to get this far west, though
the fad was very popular in the
East. But this year we will be
able to match any gown. When
fall opens we will be stocked with
them"
The silver thread wigs will come
in two-tone combinations of silver
and blue, silver and green. silver
and orchid, and shades Of gold. The
silk and fiber wigs will be in any
and all shades.
Miss Rae Herrie OF the Meridian
Apis, looked very colorful when
she demonstrated a red dress and
bright red wig, though the color is
not apparent in the picture.
But whether wigs are colored or
not, the general consensus of
opinion is more hair" Apparent
ly the bobbed heads have been shorn
of "woman's glory" long enough and
the new wrinkle is to put hair back
on-by nature or otherwise, but put
it on by all means. What is puzzling
us is how some of the shingled
} heads are going to keep extra hair
