DRASTIC ACTION
TAKEN BY NUREMBERG WOMEN. Housewives in the little mining town of Nuremberg in Pennslyvania took the law into their own hands the other day. The new road through the town had been left unfinished. It was strewn with, ashes and was so dusty that the housewives could not keep their homes clean: .so they decided to close 'the* road. They placed tables and chairs al each end and mounted guard to see that motorists used a detour instead of the main road. Other women, armed with brooms, began sweeping the ashes away. The police were called but were powerless in the face of such determination, and for five hours the women blockaded the road, finally going home triumphantly after having been assured by the Road Department that work on the road would be resumed at once.
