War on hoops.

--The Rabbis in Cracow and Tamon, Poland, have forbidden women in hoops from attending the synagogue. A little while ago some Jewish ladies presented themselves at the doors of the sanctuary in the interdicted garb, and were driven away by a fanatic Jew rabble, armed with knives, after a conflict in which blood was shed.
