OSTRACIZE GIRLS WHO, CUT OFF THEIR HAIR. Palo Alto, Cal., Jan. 11. The boys of the Palo Alto high- school have "boycotted-- girls with "bob cut" hair. . ' Bob cutting so the legend goes at Stanford university, nearby in dicates "highbrowism." To the boy students at the high school it -indicates something out of step with their ideas of feminine beauty. And so they have announced themselves. "We won't speak to any girl who bobs her hair," reads the ultimatum delivered into the camp of the em . bryonic highbrows. "Cut. your hair "if you dare," the message concluded. The girls who were only about to bob their ltjcks have vchanged their minds, while those who already have applied the shears are inquiring into "the price of wigs. Highbrowism is to be cultivated at the expense of cutting one's hair, but not under the .penalty of losing one's best beau, agree The girls. So it looks like a victory for the boys.

Lincoln, Njeb., Jan. 11. William JT Bryan at his home here tonight continued his efforts looking to a ratification of the treaty of peace by mutual concessions and compro mises. Mr. Bryan tonight . sent a number of telegrams to senators at Washington ursring them to unite in an endeavor to bring about ratifica tion not later than the 16th of the month. It was peculiarly fitting, he declared, that ratification be accom plished by that time, as the 16th was the date fixed for the first meeting of the league of nations at Paris. Ihis reason, he said, appealed to him strongly, and he believed it, would haveMhe same influence on members of the senate. He did not disclose to what individual senators the telegrams were sent, but said there were several. Mr. Bryan reached Lincoln earlier in the day for a 36-honr stay at the home of his brother, former Mayor Charles W. Bryan. - Mr. Bryan tonight was the prin cipal speaker at Na temperance iu-J oiiee -meeting at xne nrsi unnsnan church. Tomorrow he will make three addresses, at the University of Nebraska convocation in the, morn ing, at a noonday luncheon at the Commercial club and in the after noon to the Nebraska constitutional convention. He leaves for the east in the evening making a political (-address at Omaha tomorrow night. May Go as Reporter. Mr. Bryan said this evening he had not had time to seriously con sider the question whether he will be a candidate for delegate-at-large to the democratic national conven tion at San Francisco and it was still a little early to discuss the mat ter. He would, however, he said, be at the convention, either in the ca pacity of a delegate or a newspaper representative, and he was a trine indifferent as to which capacity he appeared. Mr. Bryan does not intend to make an extended speaking tour at this time. He plans to be back in Washington on Friday next, where 'he is to make a speech, and ("another at the same place on the 19th of this month, v From there it is his intention to return- to Flor ida, to be with Mrs. Bryan during1 a greater part of the winter. While he will be more or less active in a political sense from now on, he has no definite itinerary mapped out looking to a tour of the country. Nebraska Political Affairs. Discussing political affairs in Ne braska, Mr. Bryan said the liquor question happily had about ceased to be an issue. !"For 16 years." he continued, "from 1894 to 1910, we never had a dissenting vote in democratic con ventions in this state. Then the liquor question disturbed the party harmony for 10 years, as it has dis turbed party harmony -wherever it Jias been an issue, but the fight is over and .the question is settled. "I expect to see a reunited de mocracy put Nebraska in the front rank and leadership in all the prog ress of the nation." Mr. Bryan was asked if he thought old enmities aroused by rthe liquor question in Nebraska would disappear. - , "There is no reason why they should not," he replied. "Tlfty arose over an issue and they should die with the issue, o far as I am concerned, if I have an' enemy in Nebraska, the enmity is all on his side. I expect, to deal with every one on the basis of what he now stands for, regardless of differences we -may have had over the liquor question." t Divorce Cancer Eating Into America's Vitals Cardinal Gibbons Says Baltimore,' Jan. 11. "Divorce is a cancer eating into the very vitals of cur life," said 'Cardinal Gibbons in an address at the fifth annual con ference of the Maryland chapteaf the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae. The cardinal de plored the existence of legislation which makes divorce possible. "Would "that divorce could .be done away with entirely," he said. "If the words of the apostle: 'Bear ye with one another's buidens,' were practiced there would be fewer di vorces. I hope you will set the ex ample in this respect and exercise your zeal in impressing "upon others the importance of checking this evil of divorce." t ONE pEAD, ONE HURT WHEN TRCICK AND CAR COLLIDE i Four Escape Injury aqrJ By stander Is Arrested by Police.

In strange contrast to her views on men in general 'and husbands in particular that won for her the distinction of being a "confirmed man hater," it fell to Mary Savage,- 19-year-old vaudeville and film actress, to estab lish a record for hasty romance and marriage. Miss Savage was united in mar riage at Santa Ana to Count Rene de Guignard, former lieutenant in the French army, after having known him but 14 hours.

The party met again at the Alexandria notel Sunday morning and Miss Sav age and the count, accompanied by a number of friends, .motored to. Santa Ana, where the ceremony was performed.

Tadd to the coincidence. Miss Savage and Miss Acker are intimate friends, while Count Guignard and de Valentine have been companions for months.

SENATE COMMITTEE TO BEGIN INVESTIGATION "Appeal" Recently Published ' in Mexico by Communist Party Will Be Submitted to the Members Probing Case. San Antonio, Tex., Jan. 11. In formation regarded by government agents here as evidence that Car ranza government officials are coun tenancing a plan trf establish a bolr sheviki regime' in Mexico and that the radical element is supported largely by evaders of the American draft, will be given to-the senate subcommittee investigating Mexican affairs when it begins its hearings here this week. Senator A. , B. Fall, republican, New Mexico, chairman of the com mittee, is expected to arrive Mon day. Senator Marcus A. Smith, democrat, Arizona, already is here and scores of witnesses, many of them j-efugees from Mexico, are awaiting an opportunity to testify. Summons for more than 20ft have been issued, but the number who have notified agents of the commit tee of their willingness to testify i much greater. Not All Unfavorable. Not all the testimony offered will be unfavorable to the present Mexi can administration. Supporters of the Carranza government have placed , before, the - committee "the names cof many who,' they assert, will be able to counter at least some of the statements of special investi gators, refugees and ordinary ob servers. Much of the testimony prepared will not be heard, it was said, because the stories of scores differ only in detail, and much of it rras to do with the developments in the early days of Carranza's admin istration. It is- expected more time will be given by the committee to an investigation of radicalism as it is manifested now in Mexico and to the existing conditions and relations of the governments of Mexico and the United Slates. Records Support Statements. Assertions that Americans who fled to Mexico "to escape the draft are implicated in "the plan to bring Mexico under tne rule of the radicals, are based on statements published in the official organ of the communistJ party in Mexico. American govern ment records and reports of special agents tend to support the state ments. According to the published boast, 30,000 Americans escaped service in the army by flight to Mex ico. Most of them have returned to the United States, but many remain and the names of a few nave ap peared in the literature of the com munist and I. W.
