Bobbed Hair Began with the French
 Reign of Terror
HAD HAIR CUT BEFORE MEETING EXTREME PENALTY OF
 GUILLOTiNE.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct. 3O (P) The fashion of bobbed hair was in vogue during the French revolution, at least by women who faced decapi- tation by the guillotine. Testimony to this was disclosed in grim little satire, written by a French woman at the time of the Commune, which was found in mass of French books and manuscripts obtained by large motion picture studio here for re- search work.
 The writer commented on the pre-, valence of shorn tresses in this wise:
 'Tt is the custom before women are executed to cut off their hair, that it may not interfere with the eXecutioner's blade. So all Royalist women go to the guillotine with their hair off at the neck. incidentally. the head soon follows this example
 "Grisettes, as bit of humor, be- gan cutting their hair the same way -aping the aristocrats in their last fashion. They are finding that it is comfortable and the custom is grow ing. No one knows where it will stop"

Mrs Robert Rust was given a de-

About o'clock she was sent for and

children, grandchildren, and a few
near relatives. The table was also
filled with good eats. Those present

pardon Obtainable in one way or an
other. Some of them are stoics even
on the march to the chair. But there
are few of them who would not
cringe at the lash laid upon their
bare backs, and the certainty of that
accompaniment to each year of their
prison sentence would add to the
deterrent power of law Moreover
it is urged that juries which would
not impose a death penalty, if that
were to be declared the punishment
for highway robbery with a weapon
even if the victim were not killed,
would vote for the application of the
lash.
Paddle Favored For Juveniles.
Not wholly foreign to this matter
of adult punishment is the notable
return of Courts in dealing with jul
venile offenders. to the theory that
sparing the rod may spoil the child,
and that proper application of birch.
may correct its faults. There have
been two or three instances in the
local juvenile courts where parents
have been commissioned by Judge
or Magistrate to administer needed
padding or spanking. A Baltimore
Judge the other day ordered two
youthful offenders to go out and get
two adequate twigs to take to their
fathers with the courts admonition
that they be applied where they
would be most effective. Public
whippings are not permissible even
in juvenile courts. but judicial adj
vice to parents for discipline at home
has sort Of quasi authority which
is generally respected.
Public opinion generally upholds
such advice in the juvenile courts as
being about what the young culprits
need. At what age does the rene
dial quality of the birch become
negative? Many-some say the ma
jOrity- of the so-called bandits"
are not out of their teens. Not in
frequently they are scarcely beyond
the limit of juvenile consideration.
When do they become too old to be
publicly, but as a part
of the parental discipline which the
state must enforce for the protection
OF society?
Best Panacea For Banditry.
Humane hearts shrudder at the
thought Of any man being forced to
bare his back to the lash. Do they
not also shrudder at the thought of
a peaceful citizen looking into the
of a murderous gun, or feel |
ing it pressing against his ribs and !
being forced to deliver under threat !
Of death, sometimes being shot or
otherwise maltreated if he does not |
happen to produce according to ex-
pectatlons? Hum ane sentiment |
ought not to be one-sided.
Banditry will not be stopped until
it is compelled to risk some sort of
that hurts and stings
and that is actually to be feared.

CLARK COLLECTION
FATE STILL IN AIR
Trustees of Metropolitan Mu.
scum Will Decide Action
April 20.
By the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associat ted Press.
NEW YORK, April s.-The question
whether the s3,o00,000 art collection
conditionally bequeathed to the Met
ropolitan Museum of Art by William
A. Clark off Montana should be ac-
cepted, conf n6inued under discussion
among art critics and officials of the
institution today, with considerable
doubt expressed as to what action the
museum would take
The will stipuIates that the entire
collection be housed in one gallery
for exclusive exhibition. This, 1T Is
pointed out, would place a hardship
on the museum, since the collection
has not been catalogued, and com
prises objects of all kinds and of
various styles and periods. The mu-
scum also Is loath to setting aside in
perpetuity the large space necessary.
Robert w. De Forest president Of
the museum, while refusing to COM
NIT himself as to the probable out
come, said that Senator Clark had not
consulted museum officials before be-
queathing the collection conditionally
1t Is stated that the Corcoran Gal
lery OF Washington will accept the
collection of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum finds itself unable to comply
with the conditions. Under the terms
of Senator Clark's will, the collection,
IL not accepted by the New York in
stitution, is to be offered to the Cor
coran Gallery, with the same housing
proviso.
Acceptance of the Clark beauest
will be considered by the museum
trustees on April 20.

At of music students in the COM

been given at financial loss, the
Community Center Department. as
well as Mrs. Wilson Greene, feels that
a decided advance has been attained
in the development of music in the
community, by the presentation of
prominent artists at nominal fees.
Mrs. Cecil Norton Sisson, director
of Community Centers, said today
that the concert series was new
and large undertaking for the Com
munity Center Department, in the in
terests of community music, and
could never have been undertaken
except for the cooperation of Mrs
Wilson-Greene.
The enforced cancellation of the
third concert In the series, that of
Sophie Braslau. was regretted by the
department, and Mrs. Sisson requests
that all persons holding season tic
kets for the course should have their
money for the Braslau concert re-
funded at Mrs. Wilson -Greene's bu-
reau, in Droop's Music Store.
