MEN SHOULD LET HAIR
GROW FOURTEEN INCHES
British Doctor Says Cutting Masculine
Locks Is Conducive to
Badness,

Special Gable to The Washington Herald
London, Aug. 16.-If men would save
themselves from badness. they must let
their hair grow long. This is. the opinion
of Dr.. F. II. Barendt. a skin specialist
Of Liverpool, voiced in an address before
the British Medical Conference at Brigh-
ton recently.
and SO few bald womenT" asked DR..
Barendt. II believe il Is because men
will not let their hair grow to a proper
length. The average man wears his hair
about an inch long, whereas IL should be
at least thirteen or fourteen inches"
DR.. Barendt explained that he consid-
cred nature was affronted by frequent
cutting of the hair. If it is not allowed
to grow to the length I have mentioned. 4"
continued DIR. Barendt, lit becomes dry
and loses its strength, much in the same
way that the muscles OF the body become
fabby and weak II they are not exer-
cised."
DR.. David Walsh, another skin special
ist- told the meeting that he considered
the abnormal loss of hair on the head.
as well as many skin diseases, was largely
associated with defective circulation of
the blood. Lose Of hair might often be
taken as a sign OF heart trouble. In sup
port of this, he found that out Of thirty
six bald people he had examined twenty
four were suffering from valvular disease

Of badness with heart disease. DR.. Alfred
Eddowes mentioned the case of an ex-
tremely bald man who was one Of the
most powerful gymnasts he knew.

I or so. But in booking" films usually
the two groups are treated as IL they
were in different cities.
A theater manager goes to an ex.
change and explains that he wants a
certain number of films per day OF q
/ certain age. and relies upon the book
| ing system to divide his programs
properly among comedies, dramas, &c
| The booker opens an account with
each theater and with every film re-
leased. By closely watching the route
of each film and keeping in mind the
theaters in the same situation, II Is
possible in most cases to arrange the
programs of the different theaters so
that they not only never run the same
picture twice. but do not run a flm
after it has been run in a competing
theater.
In the larger cities automobiles coll
lect the films from the theaters after
IL p. M. rush them to the various ex-
changes, where they are rewound, in
spected. and redistributed into the
boxes OF the theaters to which they go
on the following day. Then they are
again taken in automobiles and rushed
out, together with posters which are
to advertise them, so that they reach
the theater in most cases before noon.
This requires a night force In the ex-
changes. where work is going on con-
SANITY. Holidays and Sundays are the
same as other days to the man in the
exchange.
In the smaller cities the films are
handled by messengers, the theater
sending them back to the exchange in
the morning and having the messen-
ger wait until his new show is ready.
After films have been In circulation
more than six months they are re-
turned to the manufacturers as scrap
and destroyed.
The Washington herald., 1913-08-17

Briefly, the system operates like this:
The manufacturers OF films assign re-
lease date to each picture. The date
upon which 1t may be rented by ex-
changes to the theaters. The film is
handled thereafter according to its age,
and automatically fits into what are
known as runs" When q tlieatcr aa.
yertises that 1t shows '.hrst-run pic
tures.p that means pictures that have
not been run before. Every theater
wants well-balanccd porgram, and
most theater managers. whether they
run new or old pictures. insist upon
program that has not been shown in the
houses of any of their competitors.
1t is manifestly impossible to con-
slider all theaters in a city. particularly
In the larger cities. as being in active
competition with each other. Conse-
quently. each city is divided by the ex-
changes into Situations" For ex-
ample, three theaters in the business
section OF a town within a radius of
few blocks are considered as con-
ficting. and the same II true of three
houses in the residential section of a
town within a radius Of half mile
