GirEs Wonderful Hair

The longest tresses in the world are
believed to pertain to the head Of a
twenty-two-year-old Detroit girl Her
locks measure 761a inches from root
to tip. This unusual growth of hair
offers some unusual statistics. 1t
takes her less than two minutes to "do
it up" she says. except when it is
freshly washed, when the task be-
comes more difficult 1t is consider
ably longer in front than on the rear
of her head. In the sunlight it is
multicolored, part of it blonde, part
reddish and part brown. In 1920 her
hair thinned after an illness. What
was left reached her knees, but not
much was left And then it started to
get thick and just grew.

Professor Charles Richet, the famous
French anatomist, reported to the
Academy of Science (Paris) that car
nivorous animals such as the dog, can
not live long when their diet is re
stricted to cooked meat. His expert
ments show that the same animals
thrive and develop great strength when
fed with raw meat.
His latest experiments were made
on fish fed with meat The results were
the same as with animals. He says he
has demonstrated that cooking destroys
vitamins and modifies the muscular al

the 1900 room house that the archeo-
logists have recently excavated among
the great ruins Of Puye In the Pal
