Chief Askew's Diary: March 11, 1930

A rainy day in Newnan; newspaper offers rainwear fashion advice

Chief Askew’s “Boys” finished delivering the street tax summons this afternoon, which turned into a fair day after a night and morning of rain. In Washington, former President and former Chief Justice William Howard Taft was laid to rest in Arlington Cemetery. Coincidentally, another justice, Edward Terry Sanford, had died unexpectedly the same day as Taft did, opening up a second spot on the Supreme Court.

The Macon Telegraph ran a fashion advice article on its society page advising women on stylish rainwear. Paid subscribers can read on about what was high style for wet days. The article above was clipped via newspapers.com.
