HEALT WEEK IS
LAUNCHED IN
PALESTINE
Typical u. S. Methods intro
duced in War Against Ira
choma and Malaria

JERUSALEM, Dec. 27.--Another
American institution was intro
duced in Palestine when New
York physician decided to try to
put over Health Week in the Holy
Land. He is DR.. simon Tannen-
baum, now director of the Hadas-
sab medical organization, which ad.
ministers several hospitals through
out the country for the women's
Zionist organization of America.
When the Health Week was Fl.
nally launched it lacked none OF
the features, except radio broad.
casting, that make up. similar cam.
paigns in the United States. There
was Hygiene Day, Baby Day, Food
Day, Microbe Day and Recreation
Day.
There were tens Of thousands of
pamphlets and hundreds Of lee.
lures; but they were in Hebrew
and Arabic. So also, were the
titles that went with the slides Of
the International Red Cross and
the films of the Rockefeller Insti-
tute.
Copies OF health talks broadcast
by the United States Health Bureau
were extensively used in the cam
paign, after being translated into
the languages of the population
likely to need health instruction the
most.
The campaign, while waEed
against all diseases, had as it's OBJ
jective ailments that are prevalent
in Palestine, especially malaria and
trachoma. Jews have been sue
cessfully fighting the former by
eliminating the mosquito breeding
swamps, with the help of funds OF
the Zionist organization, while eli
hospitals Of the missionary socie
ties and Of the government are
coping with trachoma.

WOMEN'S HATS.
HUNTED BY
EXPERTS
But Of Course They Must Be
Historic, Revealing Beauty's
Taste Of Long Ago

Ladies' lace-caps, picture hats,
toques and other l1ead-gear, espoc.
tally If they can boast Of an
ancient and honorable lineage with
a historical background, are being
much sought after not only by
artists and collectors, but by the
keen.minded business man who
provides the fashionable world Of
today with "the latest Paris crea.
tions," which, after all is said and
done, is no more nor less, than
a mere remodeling Of "the same
old hat"
The various modes Of head
numerous that 1t would fill a book
Of liberal size to enumerate them
all.
The hair being the only part Of
q woman's charm that she can
alter at her will, it has naturally
been subjected to constant
change Of style.
In ancient times young ladies'.
before their marriage, used to wear
their hair uncovered and united,
flowing loose over their shoulders,
but when they entered the wed
ded state they cut 1t off and
assumed some sort of head-gear.
A little later they made 1t int
long tresses, which sometimes
reached to their heels.
In Richard the Seconds time,
the hair was worn confined in
go. den net or caul,-an Eastern
custom, probably brought over by
the Crusaders.
Then came those high conical
caps introduced by Isabeau de Ba-
Were, which were made Of such
extraordinary dimensions that doors
had to be altered to admit them.
Specimens of these may still be
seen in the pays de Caux," a part
of Normandy, where they are worn
by rich farmers wives.
During the earlier half of the fif-
teenth century the horned head
dress was adopted, and~its form and
dimensions became the frequent
butt of the satirists and cartcatur
lists of the age.
In Queen Elizabeth's time, flaxen
hair was greatly priced as being
''the queens own colour" and poets
frequently alluded to it.
False hair was also often resorted
to at that time, and appears to have
been varied according to the age
Of the wearer.
Under the reign Of Charles II
short curls on the forehead, and
ringlets at the sides, came into
s'Sevinge" style, and may be seen
in Lely's portraits.
In the last century head-dresses
assumed the most extravagant di-
mansions. They were complete edi;
fees rising some two or three feet
above the head, and comprising
every possible and impossible orna-
ment.
The following squib appeared in
the London Magazine for 1777:
"Give Chloe a bushel Of horse-hair
and wool,
OF paste and pomatum a pound;
Ten yards Of gay ribbon to deck
her sweet skull.
And gauze to encompass II round.

8 CANS
Of HEAT FOR
THIRST
Man in Hospital First Tells
Wild Story Of Bandits Max
ing Him Take It Blazing"

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 27.-Jarnes
l.. Curtiss, Of Griffin, Ga, ad-
mitted to police today. after a night
of agonized inslstence that he had
been. forced by two bandits to
drink eight cans Of canned heat,
that he had drunk the contents
Of the cans Of his own volition be-
cause he wanted q drink.
He is recovering, although ply.
sicians said he had been badly
burned internally.
According to the wild story he
first told, two men forced their way
into his room, and then made him
drink the contents OF eight cans Of
canned heat--all flaming.
Some credence was given the
story at the hotel, where It was
said two strangers had called and
asked to "see our old friend" Cur.
tiss. Enough canned heat was
pumped from his stomach at the
hospital to fill eight containers.
Planned to Rob Him.
Curtiss said he did not recognize
his assailants, who became angry
and attacked him when he told
them he only had So.
They had come ostensibly to rob
him, ne said. One Of the men held
him pinned to the floor, he said,
While the other lighted the cans Of
poison and poured the contents
down his throat.
