British capital, falls short both as
to upper lip and chin Almost the
same deficiency is noted in the face
of that celebrated English beauty
Lady Marjorie Manners The ef-
feet is really worse. owing to the
unusual breadth OF the chin.
Genius in both sexes is proven
bially lacking in beauty. Consider
the face of Elizabeth Barrett
Browning as measured by the Kali
lOmeter. 1t is a face full Of charm,
but the upper lip is much too short.
and not only is the chin too short
but too narrow. George Eliot, the
celebrated English novelist has been
quoted as admitting that she had
a face like a horse" with its long
nose and its grotesquely elongated
chin. Yet the attractions pos
sessed by both Of these great wom-
en- were freely admitted by all who
met them
In the course Of his researches
which led Professor FotheringhaIn

Although no one Of a thousand
beautiful faces may seem to bear
any resemblance to any other Of the
thousand, yet all of them conform
to the Kallometer measurements
of features. The unity Of these
measurements persists in all groups
Of faces, grouped as TO general
contour, as broad, narrow, oval,
pear-shaped, etc. Racial charac-
teristies, so apparent to any OBJ
serving eye, have no bearing On
the results of the Kallometer test
Don't be afraid Of the Kallome-

and the faces Of members Of your

keep in mind facial deficiencies
that exist now, future generations
may be inspired to do better!

ductive charm which no ideal
beauty has been able to exert.
For example, Gaby Deslys- Gaby's
charm has vanquished the people
of two continents. She is the
Partisan ideal of what is chic, pl-
quaint. seductive - really unique
among feminine charmers. But ap-
ply the Kallometer to her lace and
see how she fares! Nose too long
upper lip too short, chin too short,
forehead too narrow, eyes too lar

Not only her face, but her figure,
too, fails to measure up to beauty
standards. Her arms and legs are
too long, and she carries an IN
beautiful amount Of tissue about
the hips and calves But for all
this. don't imagine that Gaby will
swear out a writ Of Injunction
against the terrible Kallometer. On
the contrary, she will smile, shake
her locks saucily and issue an
amiable challenge to any and all
Kallometer beauties to come into
the lists with her where the palm
is for what really matters-charm!
Quite a number Of world-famous
beauties Of the stage and OF
fashionable society when they ap-
ply the Kallometer to their lovely
faces will find themselves in need
of the kind Of consolation enjoyed
by Gaby Deslys. They meet the
scientific test nearly enough to come
under the beauty classification, yet
their shortcomings are plainly indl-

How the ''Kallometer"
or Beauty Meter Is
Placed Upon the Face
to Test the Features for
Beauty Proportions - or
the Contrary.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-07-22

CST VERYBORY" calls you beau
tiful-but are you? Will
your face stand the test Of
the "Kallometer. Here is where
cold science has the last word-as
IN many other matters; for the in
Ventor Of this instrument has proved
that cold science and glowing aes-
thetics can agree, that the face
which the trained artists eye recog-
nizes as beautiful is really scientih-
cally beautiful
Maybe you are pretty, maybe you
are charming, maybe you are ire
sistible. You may be all those and
yet lack beauty. Prettiness, even
irresistible charm may, and often
do, exist in spite Of irregular fea-
tures-nose, mouth, chin and eyes
out Of proportion in size and in as
symmetrical relation to each other.
But beauty means regularity, pro-
portion, symmetry-and by applying
the Kallometer to your face and
looking in a mirror you will know
Immediately whether or not you
possess it.
This ingenious device-which is
pictured on this page as applied to
several typical faces-may be con-
structed by anyone. It is merely a
wooden frame having the width and
height of a normal human face, in
which cross-bars are placed to fix
definite points of measurement from
the top Of the forehead to the tip
Of the chin.
The intervals between these cross
bars are established by the Kallo-
meters inventoT-Professor William
Barnes Fotheringham-to conform
to the accepted classical standard OF
facial beauty, slightly modified by
his years Of study of recognized liv-
ing beauty types The starting
point is a horizontal line drawn
through the pupils of the eyes. This
fixes the location of the Kallometer's
middle bar.
The next bar below fixes the point
of the end of the nose where the
nostril opens-the distance from the
pupil of the eye is exactly one and
seYen-eighths inches. From the nos
tril opening to the mean line of the
mouth, lips closed, shows the length
OF the upper hp-three-quarters Of
an inch-and fixes the position Of
the third cross-bar. From the mean
line of the mouth to the bottom of
the chin is exactly two inches, fixed
by the bottom of the Kallometer's
frame. Five-eighths Of an inch be
low the mouth line is placed a bar
to indicate the hollow where the IN
der lip joins the chin.
Three-quarters of an inch above
the horizontal of the eye-pupils is a
bar which properly locates the eye

these measurements accurately and

with the middle bar on line VITA
the pupils of your eyes, and direct
ing your level gaze into mirror,
you will discover how far you fall
short of true beauty.
The experiment viii need some
courage, for Professor Fotheringham
aaelares that true facial beauty
exists in only zone or two persons
out of a million"
Although measurements OF the
width Of the face are comparatively
less important, the professor has es-
tablished a vertical as well as a
horizontal index This fixes the
width of the normal face at five and
a half inches, measured at point
Just below the ear. The eyes should
be two and three-eighths inches
apart. But it is admitted that where
the horizontal lines exist as estab-
lished in the Kallcmeter the width
of beauty-type faces may vary con-
siderably. It is the length Of nose,
upper lip and chin that matter most
On this page are shown at least
two beauty types that need have no
dread of the Kallometer test. The
faces of both Maxine Elliot and Lii
Ian Russell-which bear no re-
semblance to each other-reach the
maximum Of one hundred per cent
In these cases the Kallometer cor
roborates the popular impression
that both Of these faces are truly
beautiful
Another face-of still another
beauty-type-th meets the Kallo-
meter test perfectly is that Of a
favorite artists and photographers
model, and still another that of Mile.
Lantelme, the famous Paris stage
beauty, who not long ago met such
a tragic death while houseboating on
the River Rhine-although, in the
case of Lantelme, the chin is Just
trife short of the ideal

noisseurs, and other readers OF this
page will feel greatly relieved to find

fessor Fotheringham's Kallometer.
not only does not overthrow their
living beauty idols, but actually sup
ports the artistic and popular con-
ception.
But where the Kallometer ruth
.lessly denies the possession of
beauty in notable instances where
1t has been claimed, there is still
plenty Of consolation. All the world
knows that it is seldom the most
perfectly beautiful faces that are
most attractive, that many COM

RECALL OF TRADE
COURT QUESTIONED
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OFF,
GALS CLAIM CONGRESS HAS
NO AUTHORITY,

Washington. June l5.-The right OF
congress to recall the judges OF the
commerce court by legisating to re-
duce the number of circuit judges by
five as contemplated by the senate,
presents nne question of law which
may reach the supreme court of the
United States, according to officials OF
the department OF Justice. A high Of
fetal of the department declares that
congress cannot legisate the five
judges out of office. in view OF the
constitutional provision that federal
judges should hold office during good
behavior.
In. establishing the commerce court
congress increased the number of cir
cult judges by five and stipulated that
that number slpuld periodically be
assigned to the commerce court The
right OF congress to abolish the court
is not questioned, but many <tficials
strongly hold TO tho view that these
five circuit judges. once appointed
cannot be deposed unless the circuit
courts of appeals, where they serve In
addition to theii cui:es on the COM
merce court. are abandoned.
The line. however. is sharply drawn
many lawyers I'm congress claimins
that these Judges were created for tn,
commerce court, and that-in~ abolish
ing their functions there, the judges
likewise are deposed.
officials of the department of JUS
tive point out that in case congress
succeeds In abolishing the commerc,
court. the judges then may continue
their duties as circuit Judges and sue
for their salaries through the court
of claims and If necessary appeal tc
the supreme court, where the intricate
problem would be determined.
