HELENAS' WRATH
POINTED AT
MILLINERS

Helena daley is about to de-
clare war on milliners. She finds
1t almost impossible 20 get a hat
60 fit. They're all too small.
According to Helena, who plays
her first film for Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer in Frank Borzage's picturi-
xatfon of "Daddy's C1ane a-Hhnt-
ing" which comes to IN, Strand
all next week, bobbed hair is to
blame.
In this picture Miss daley. the
girl who became the envy of the
collective feminine hearts or
America when Rudolph Valen-
tino picked her for his leading
lsdy in "a Sainted Devil" is a
Russian artist. The part called
for elaborate and fantastic cos,
tunes and a half dozen striking
hats.
G~he. hats were ordered. and
everyone was modelled on the pres
ent rnodish small crown. But Hell
ena has long black hair and she
refuses to bob. So 1t was q case
.of suffering in more or less
silence. forming the determina-
ton that in her next picture
she will be fitted to her own par
ticular style of hairdress when
tt~comes to ordering hats.

inee and night performances for
the first time since :ile innova-
ton was inaugurated. Hereto
fore. the "Follies" have been
presented purely as special

vised means of giving his junior

which to work. thus completely
differentiating his utilization OF

Motor Car Drivers Have
Big Dread Of Skidding

Most motor car drivers have hor-
ror of skidding, and in truth the ex-
perience is not pleasant one The
best cure for the trouble is care be-
forehand. If the brakes are accurate
" adjusted, that is If both of them
exert equal pressure when applied and
If tire chains are conscientiously fitted
In slippery weather, the danger of skid
ding is reduced to minimum. You see
when one brake of pair holds while
the other allows its wheel to continue
revolving, this sets up a side slip,
which the slippery pavement accentu-
ates.
When the car starts to slide If the
clutch is released and the brakes are
thrown violently on instead Of stop
ping, the skid is accelerated. 1t is
important to keep the wheels turning,
for then they have some chance of
getting foothold again, whereas If
they are locked they must follow the
course Of the skid
The best way. and It is not always
successful. to check a skid is to turn
the front wheels in the same direction
IN + iiich the rear is skidding-

Carrying Of Spare Lamp
Bulbs Is of Importance

Just DIS important as the carrying
of spare tires is the carrying of spare
lamp bulbs, says Motor Life. TO find
yourself in the country, miles from
a supply store or garage, without ade-
quate light, can only be considered a
predicament OF the first magnitude,
and the most effective insurance
against it is an assortment of spare
bulbs. You should at least have an
extra headlight and tail-light bulb.
Sidelight and dashlight bulbs are
secondary considerations.
And perhaps 1t might be well to
mention while we are on the subject.
that every time new bulb is placed
in a headlight refocusing is in order
There Is considerable variation in
lamp bulbs and their component parts.
