A tup to Paris for thy ninth annual convention of the American l/egion in September lrom Indianapolis, the approximate center of population of the United States, can be made with comfort for $300 it is estimated by Sani L. Latimer, Jr., of Columbia, Department France Convention Officer for this state. This figure will allow $42.50 for incidentals that the veteran may buy to make his 'trip more enjoyable. While the cost of the I'aiis pilgriminjtgr will vary as the tastes and pocketbook of the individual Legionnaire, theie will probably be many of the veterans who will make the journey with a minimum expense record; fotinhi!os traveling on the expense iccotd of $300 will live jn luxury on the -econd trip over as compared to that first trip in wartime. Under the advantageous travel rates obtained by the Legion the veterans will spend less per day than the ordinary automobile summer tour in this country would cost. The minimum expense tecoid for the I'aris convention as figured from the Hoosier state by the Department France Convention officer follows: Round trip railway fare, leaving Indiunapolis September 5, $20.20; pull rrnn to New York, $0.00; meals, $3.00; service on train, 50c; Arrive New York September G, hotel, New York, $3.00; meals in New York, $2.50; Sept. 7, sail on official ship, minimum rate, $145.80; September 8 airive Bojtoii't-September 8 to September 18, at sea; service on ship, $3.00; September 18, land at Cherbourg, fair to Paris, round trip, $1.50; identification certificate, $1.00; Arrive Paris, transfer hotel, $1.00; September 19 to September 25, 7 nights, $10.00; meals in Paris, 7 days at $2.50 per day, $17.50; September 20, battlefield trip, $11.00; September 25, Paris to Cherbourg, transfer, $1.00; September 25, embaik; October 3, dock at New York, seivice on ship, $3.00; Pullman to Indianapolis, $9.00; meals, $3.00; service on train, 50c; October 4, arrive Indianapolis.

( .?The judiciary * to nun it Ice of the house unanimously ? Voted this afteinoun to return an un- ' tavorahle icport on tl?e bill by Sen- | Htor ( Ittude \\. Martin, of Orange- 1 burg, whieh would prohibit negro ? barbers from cutting the hair of white women. The bill was passed )(st week by the senate. The unfavorable report by the pow*ful judiciury committee will prove! a lui gv obstacle in the bill Ireing pusacd. It of course does not automatically kill the measure for the house will either have to vote to pass the hill or to accept the unfavorable lep^j-t. i A strong lead ion has taken place throughout the Mate since this bill 1 passed the senate. In fact few per- ' sons paid any atte ntion to it until the senate sent it to the house. While it * was not the intention of the.author the itlBU'e salon in many quarters is that . t lie bill cast a reflection upon the white women of South Carolina. 1 his opinion has been expressed in the press. On account of the boblrod hair fruhicn ladles are more frequenting hai her shops; in fact they furnish a large portion of the patronage of harbei shops throughout the eouiltry. Some members of the committee, it is understood, declared that the habit of this and other legislatures trying to legislate the personal habits of the citizens is reaching an alarming stage. They want a halt called and are ot' the opinion that such a bill as this will do no good and much harm. They hold tlrat the white women of South Carolina con be trusted as to having their hair bobbed and that they do not need to have the legislature tell them who can cut it and who cannot cut it. This phase of the matter was not presented in the senate and the ; author had absolutely no idea of castling any reflection on the white fwomen of the state in any way whatsoever. However, by many this is the way the bill has been interpreted.
