OF A WOMAN'S HAIR

Women Worst Off as to Hair.

Since wearing false hair became So
fashionable my earnings have more
than doubled said a woman who de-
scribes her business as freshening uT
human hair Last summer / spen;
three months i'm the country without a
dollar of expense to myself and earned
good wages.
My work is almost entirely for priv
ate patrons. Before I began il | was
employed i'm an establishment where
hair goods were made. There | learned
all about my business Losing my
place l started to work up trade Of
my own.
MY first step was to have myself
registered i'm the employment bureau of
the Young Women's Christian associa-
tion. MY first private customer came
TO me through this bureau. She had
a switch. a bunch Of curls and several
puffs which were badly in need of
freshening / did the work in about
fifteen minutes and charged 80 cents.
She told me she had paid s. at a fash
ionable hairdressing establishment for
the same work
she gave me a list of her friends
with permission to use her name as ref
erence. Besides she telephonei TO two
of her women relatives and asked if
they didn't want my services. / went

ing back regularly ever since. 1t was
from this beginning that / worked up
my business until today l make an av-
erage of S21 a week. That is more
than was getting in the factory.
Every new patron / get ask if she
has friends who are probably in need
of my services. When my patrons give
me addresses or make suggestions
make ii a business to call as soon as
possible. / never have sent out cards
Everybody have spoken to on the sub
ject tells me that she has found send
ing cards next to useless. because wom-
en- get so many advertisements OF the
kind that they no longer take the trou-
bic to read them.
Il have taught several maids how to
do the simpler things in freshening up
hair. They were in the employ of Gus

who were to be away some time. /

for two, and / never give them except
To oblige my customers l also have
commissions from my customers to buy
hair for them. This brings me in a
small income and keeps me in touch
with the makers of the goods
Even If the fashion of wearing false
hair should change, so many women
actually need false hair that unless
complete or partial badness becomes

WIVES WHO INSPIRE

Every woman owes il to herself to
place herself in sympathy with her
husbands work and to try To realize
something of his ambitions. If more
women would try this the divorce
courts would have less work to do.
Ebert Hubbard points out the need
of this sympathetic comradeship be-
tween husband and wife when he says:
Brilliant men like to have as their
helpmates brilliant women. The es-
sence of marriage is ompanionship,
and the woman you face across the cof-
fee urn every morning for years must
be both able to appreciate your jokes
and to sympathiZe in your aspira-
tions. If this is not so the man will
stray actually or else chase the ghosts
of dead hopes through the graveyard
of his dreams. Prettiness pals unless
it is backed up by intellect. The mere
ly clever woman is nearly as bad as
the clever man. All those people who
carry most of their goods in the show
window are headed for jobs at the
button counter"
And it is true that il isn't beauty or
cleverness that the average man wants
in a wife; it is companionship-com
radeship. When he doesn't get that he
is likely to try to find it somewhere
else. That is perhaps the reason why
so many men fall before the wiles of
the sirens scattered so plentifully along
life's highway
Men who have gained eminence in
one way or another and then separated
from the wives of their youth are al
ways the objects of abuse. The world
assumes that with wealth they have
Arizona republican., 1911-02-11

grown away from the attachments of
their early life and the obligations
created by them. and yet if it were
possible to get at the real status of
many of these cases it would be found
that it has been the wife who has
grown away. or who has refused to
grow with her husband.
While the husband has been grow
ing the wife has elected to stand still
or to take up interests that are foreign
to domestic happiness and so some day
there comes the inevitable break, and
the world says: Another man grown
ashamed of the wife of mis- youth" But
the truth is that the wife. becoming
absorbed i'm her own interests. has al
lowed her husband to follow his own
bent without giving a single thought as
to whether he was finding happiness
or contentment. No woman who is so
foolish can expect to hold the allcgi-
ance of the man she has married be-
cause she has never given a thought
To the only real tie that could bind him
To her.
There is a certain well known politi-
clan i'm this country whose statesman
like qualities have marked him as the
exceptional man. The public knows
him as a brilliant man and one whose
love for his fellows is a law of his life.
Bot what the public doesn't know is
that this man finds his inspiration for
| his public life i'm the woman he mar
ried some years ago-a woman who has
given him the right kind of sympathy
and companionship. And because she
has been this type of woman she has
held him so closely to her that no other
woman has ever interested him.
This big man-for he is big i'm intel
lect, sympathy and achievement-finds
no time for club life or to spen1 i'm the
haunts of politicians. or anywhere else
When his days work i'm done he hurries
home that he may be as much as pos
sible i'm the society of his wife. Now
this is the ideal sort of married com
-adeship. 1t is the kind that makes mar
riage attractive. II is the kind that
makes the world forget that there is
any other kind Of married life

When first began really didn't know

cidedly that it does. / have had pa

tory whenever we had a specially beau
tiful lot of hair in color and glossiness
it was generally said to have come
from an Irish girl.
Among my customers the best heads
of hair are generally those of women
from the southern or western states.
Here in the east women don't seem to
grow much hair of their own.
Yes, there is a way of wearing false
jury to that growing on your head
The important thing is to keep your
false hair clean and fresh and take it
off enough to allow your own hair to
get light and fresh air. l have several
customers who wear about everything
you can buy i'm the hair goods line. al
though they have fairly good heads of
hair. The way they keep their hair
in good condition is by letting it down
and sitting before an open window,
where the sun can shine on the roots
every day.
Il have one customer whose hair
was falling out so much that she dread
ed to comb it. told her about sitting
in the sun and within a month her
hair had stopped falling out. Now she
tells me she would as soon go without
her breakfast as to fail To give her
hair its sun bath
If woman has any talent for dress
ing her hair she needn't ruin her scalp
by wearing these heavy ready made
coiffures that YOU see in the windows.
A few puffs and curls will not hurt the
scalp if they are kept clean and fresh
Indeed / believe false puffs are better
for the head than the rats women use
in making puffs Of their own lair.
About he worst way to dry false
hair after washing it is on the steam
radiator. Everybody knows this is not
good for growing hair, though few
women if any appear to think il will in
lure the false hair. IL makes both
brittle. The very best way to dry hair |
both real and false, is in the sun The |
next best is in the wind. If you can't |
get natural wind then you can make |
with a palm leaf fan. The sun dried |
hair keeps its gloss and color longer" |

Women at the Ringside.

Certainly the women who hoped to
aid in the cause of female suffrage by
countenancing an exhibition of near
prize fighting fail to regard with proper
appreciation the great mass of ferninin-
ity. The spectacle which was afforded
in New York a few nights ago, when
suffragetteS to the number of several
hundred crowded the ringside and ap-
plauded the opponents of the manly art
of self-defense, was one which would
injure the prospects of woman suffrage,
if it should be taken seriously.
Happily, however, these women will
simply be ridiculed for their action. The
right of women to the ballot is ques-
ton which is Offered to modern civili-
zation to decide. and it will neither be
negatived nor affirmed because some few
women choose to act in an unwonllnly
manner If there is one strong argu-
ment for female suffrage, it is that the
presence of women at the polls will
give a humanizing influence to politics
and will aid the authorities i'll enforcing
laws for the uplifting of public morals
and the guardianship of the home. If
it were to be supposed that the women
with the ballot would patronize fsti-
cuffs and exhibitions of a character
practically under the ban of the law,
the suffrage movement would die a
speedy death.
1t is unfortunate, of course. that the
suffragcttes have voluntarily made such
a spectacle of themselves. The cause
which they so unworthily represent will,
however, survive in spite of them.

a Labor Pioneer.

An honest and able man who in his
day did splendid service for the BZitish
working classes has passed away in
the death Of Henry Broadhurst He
was actively associated with Howell.
Odger, Applegarth. and Shipton in the
movement which, after years of strug-
gle, eliminated in 1875 in the act that
gave legal status to trade societies in
Great Britain. and did much to make
organized labor political force. Thirty
years ago Broadhurst was the leading
figure in the trade union fights. Solid,
shrcwd, and sagacious. he was an ad
mirable representative of the skilled ar
hsans OF past generation. His vir-
tues, his synpathies, and his mental out
look were theirs. He stood, if such an
expression is permissible, for the aris-
tocracy of labor and never fully realized
the needs or the point of view of un-
skilled workers, who just before 1890
also began knocking at the door.
Before the dramatic success of the
London dock strike of 1880 the slow
and cautious policy of Broadhurst and
his colleagues had been severely criti-
cised by the younger men. His de-
voted loyalty to Liberalism while in
Parliament was not the least of his
offenses. With the triumph of the new
Unionism in 1889 and the emergence of
leaders like John Burns, the day of the
old fighters was over. Broadhurst then
continued to do platform work for the
Liberal party in the constituencies, but
was greatly disappointed by his omission

The Telephone Voice.

From the New York Press
In the telephone the diaphragm OF the
transmitter Is caused to vibrate by the
sound waves produced by some one
talking into the transmItter mouthpiece.
This diaphragm is connected with a
small receptacle having a flexible front
and partially filled with granular car
bon. This carbon offers resistance to
electric current in proportion to the
mechanical pressure brought upon It,
TIE diaphragm, therefore. in vibrating
produces varying pressure against tho
carbon
The wire connecting the transmitting
and receiving telephones is traversed by
an electric current which varies in unI-
son with the vibrations produced OF tho
diaphragm of the transmitter. This
current is led to the receiver, which is
composed OF a thin iron diaphragm
placed in close proximity to an electro
magnet. The varying currents passing
through the magnet cause 1t to attract
the receiver diaphragm with varying in
tensity. corresponding to the sound
waves set up by the voice Of the speaker,
thus mechanically reproducing the voice.

INDICTED NEWSPAPERS.
Matter which Is Attracting
Widespread Attention.


Prom the DanvilIe Register
The indictment of two of the news
papers of Richmond by the Federal
grand jury OF the Eastern district court
on charge OF sending obscene or i'm
proper matter through the mails, will
hardly perturb the publishers of these
journals. The alleged improper matter
had to do with reports OF or stories in
connection with the Beattie murder case
and the trial. Just what the specific
matter was which this grand Jury
deemed unfit for transmission through
the malls is we do not know, but we
read the reports OF this trial carefully
and thoroughly. and while a vast mass
OF matter was printed, we do not recall
anything that could be regarded as OBJ
scene or as tending to corrupt public
morals. The action of the grand jury
is in the nature of a censorship of the
press. but fortunately such a judgment
as is expressed in an indictment is not
conclusive, and the charge by no means
established.
AS a matter of fact, We have no
idea that the indictment will be sus-
rained upon trial. A grand jury in

opinion that causes exists to institute a
prosecution. Frequently upon presenta-
ton of the evidence for the defendant
and that in rebuttal of the plaintiffs

missed as unworthy of further considera-
ton. We are sure that the newspapers
will be able to establish to the salts
faction OF a jury that they have done
nothing warranting such prosecution
Grand Jurors are human. they have
their prejudice, and are as liable to err
as the average citizen. We believe they
have erred in this matter and that the

A Naval Object Lesson.

Second only in importance to the
memorable. Rooseveltian trip OF our
battle ships around the world is the
approaching mobilization of the fleets
at New York and San Francisco. The
first naval exploit was to enlighten the
world as to Our prowess on the sea The
latter is designed to drive the same les
son home to the American people. mil
lions of whom know too little about the
navy
Il want to bring the navy closer to
the people" says Secretary Never. Il
want as many citizens as possible to see
the fleet assembled in its greatest
strength. At New York for the first
time the feet will be seen as COM
posite whole. And it is upon the
strength of the feet as a composite or
ganlzation, rather than upon the excel
lence of any one group of vessels, that
our sea power depends"
The mobilization will serve another
purpose also. 1t will test the prepared
ness of the navy, and will bring out de-
fects, if there be any. in personnel and
1t will show what our fight
ing ships can do in an emergency. Near
ly 10000 tons of fighting material will
be represented in the mobilization at
New York. a showing which no other
nation, with the exception of Great
could attempt to duplicate at
present.

The Law Respecting Automobiles.

Maj. Sylvester directs public atten-
ton in The Washington Herald this
morning to the law respecting the speed
of automobiles upon the public high
ways. 1t is not generally known that
if the driver of a machine is convicted
of violating the speed law he is fined from
S. to $50 for the first offenSe; that for
a second conviction he is fined or sent
to the workhouse, in the discretion Of
the court; while for the third conviction
within a year he is both fined and i'm
prisoned.
We d. not recall up to the present
time that any fast running chauffeur
has been sent to Occoquan to repent
over his sin of speeding. Maj. Syl-
veSter, however, announces that he pro-
poses to enforce the law, and with this
end in view has created a card index
which will afford information as to the
frequency with which certain drivers Of
machines are arrested for violating the
law. This information will be submitted
to the court to aid the latter in fixing
the punishment
1t behooves all autoists to be careful
that they do not come within the scope
of the statute. There is a vast difference
between JOY riding in an auto and
breaking stones within the stockade at
Occoquan.
