the words, ''Brandywine Avenue AS

Folklore 81 the Hair.

A heavy head of hair indicates few
II any virtues, according to folklore
gathered from many parts Of the
world. The Turks claim that women
with short intellect have long half.
The Albanians say with f%inality, "Long
hair. little brains" Other contrib
ntors say that much hair indicates un-
governable temper and inclination to
melancholy. IF a girl has a great
deal Of hair she will marry poverty,
while the girl with little hair will mar

Marvel 81 Loop Antenna.

With q One-meter loop antenna and
n special 12-tube receiving set, re-
mnrkable results have been obtained
OF late In Paris, says the Scientific
American. Even transmitters OF low
power have been heard some 5000
miles away under conditions by no
means ideal. In fact, messages have
been recorded on Photographic tape
at times when commercial radio com
panies were greatly troubled with
static. The IL tubes employed for
the receiver serve to detect, dmplify
and even filter the signals so that
static and other parasitic disturb
ances are weeded out.
