got used to bohbed hair, bobbed
skirts and lipsticks.
"In my early days I'm not real
ly old yet girls got Bpanked for
showing their legs we called 'em

they seem to be bobbing their hair
and skirts In tho same proportion,
ond If they keep making their hair
as short as their skirts we are
likely to see a lot of baldheaded
women.
"When I was a girl only those

its about the same now, except
that they are all doing It."
Of about 125 direct descendants

Mrs. Willis' century anniversary
not more than a dozen women had
unshorn hair.
Mrs. Willis was born when
John Qulncy Adams was president,
and knew Abraham Lincoln and

sold it for U.000.
BE EXTENDED, IS
Ohio Senator,, After Visit
With Coolidge, Avers
Next Congress to
Aid in Move
(Anrociated Vtqm Leased Wire.)
i PAUL SMITH'S, N. Y., July 21.
Predicting that there would be
a move In the next congress to
strengthen what already has beeta
done by the administrulion for
farm relief, Senator Fess, Repub
lican, Ohio, left White Pine Camp
today after n visit with President
Coolidge, asserting that this would
not be along uneconomic UncB or
t in the direction of price-fixing.
1 Fess declared the movement to
'strengthen the steps alreudy
I taken for farm relief, would be
ialcng economic lines with special
'attention to cooperative market
ing and then only In ways that
experience with the present legis
lation demonstrated to le wise.
I In his opinion there will be no
j serious movement in the west
jnguinst tho tariff, for he said, 9 2
Iper cent of the farm products are
Isold in this country and tho west
Jis dependent upon the purchasing
(power of the east which needs

i There has been a serious situa
tion in sections of the west, the
senator asserted, particularly in
iFome states like Iowa, where
i there Is heavy mortgage indebted
ness and the banks have loaned
on inflated values.
The whole situation, Mr. Fess
continued, is one growing out of
I the war. Other industries took
i their losses, he said, hut the far
jmer did not. although he is now
i gradually recovering.
I President Coolidge, he said, is
j as popular as ever and has lost
little If any of his real strength
in the country. In Ohio, particul

j dent Is more than holding his
own and is stronger than his
party.

(Associated Press Leased Wire.) j
WASHINGTON", July 21. Sena-1
tor Borah, Republican. Idaho, was
accused of casting u dastardly
slur on hundreds of Americans"
seeking modification of the Yo1
stead iaw, in a formal statement
today by Senator Edwards, Demo
crat, New Jersey.
He challenged the Idaho senator
to disprove his loyalty because he
had been "an uncompromising ad-
'wnic VI till LI- V U IS Ll'lt 1118111.
Senator Edwards said 'the
speech by the Idaho senator in
Augusta, Georgia, last Sunday con
tained "more fury and less sense
than any other thoughts to which
he has given expression since he
attained the heights of American
statesmanship."
Classification Resented.
"For Senator Borah to place
honest and sincere advocates of
the repeal ' of the eighteenth
amendment and modification of
the Volstead act in the same cate
gory with Russian Bolshevists,
black shirt Fascist! and Polish
demagogic dictators," Senator Ed
wards continued,-". 1 a dastardly
slur on scoreSj aye, hundreds of
minds just, as genuinely American,
just as patriotic, just as unaffect
ed with dishonest motives or Inten-
Hons, just as free of disguise and
false pretense as his own.
"And In spite of Borah's political
i gesturing and play for intolerant
support," the New Jersey senator
continued, "1 shall continue to ex
ercise my right as a free and un
i trammeled American to voice
I praise of the good and deuuncla
i tlou of the had.
Idaho Is Indicted.
"I emphatically deny that nntl
Volstead propaganda, (when such
propaganda adheres to fact) places
tho one who issues and advocates
it, in a nullificationist class. To
proclaim his unsound principle of
constitutional government and to
shoot hia arrows of bigoted poison,
.Mr. Borah choose territory which
harbors a people who have openly
and flagrantly nullified two
amendments to the constitution
for the past 50 years. Of course
the distinguished Idahoan tactful
ly avoided any reference to the
fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments because he knows that by
championing the enforcement of
these two amendments he would
be trnmplng on mighty dangerous
ground. '
Senator Edwards concluded by
saying that the Idaho senator by
his "infamous Baltimore 'wet' tir
ade some few weeks ago and his
Augusta, Georgia, outcry makes it
dangerously Improbable if not ab
solutely impossible to recover suf
ficient prestige to become a ser
ious ron tender for the honors
which Mr. Coolidge now holds."
