Treasury Women
Rebel at Order to
Bar Powder 'Puffs
WASHINGTON, Bept. 5.-Indlgnant wo
men with skinny noses are threatening
the peace of the Treasury department as
the result of an order Issued by Aslstant
Secretary John Skelton Williams forbid
ding clorks to carry handbags, lunch
boxes and other packages Into the big
treasury building. This has been ac
cepted by the 800 women clerks as a di
rect attempt to eliminate the powder puff.
Assistant Williams retorts that the order
Is a precautionary one solely.
"How on earth can a woman keep the
tip of her nose or her ntck presentable t"
demanded an Indignant woman clerk,
"when she Is dented the ono thing with
which to do It? It U a man-made order
and a man probably isn't supposed to
understand. Anyway we are drawing a
formal protest against it."
"But," it waa suggested, "you might
carry the puff and powder in your
stock-"
"A splendid Idea," sniffed the women
In chorus. 'There are men In every
room. We'd make fine spectacles of our
selves under such an arrangement."
Under the new order all packages and
hand baggage must be left In the locker
room in the basement of the building be
fore the clerks actually pass Into the
part of the great granite structure de
voted to the housing of Uncle Bam't) cash
