SO. THIS IS WAY THE
"BOY BOB" ORIGINATED

The modern flapper's boyish bob
was introduced a few years ago by a
rather unusual incident which will be
news to most people. The sudden
idea of a very famous wigmaker was
back Of it. This idea he got from a
relic Of the year 1742, when it ap-
peared in the form of wig worn by
the fashionable damsel of that court
" time.
1t may or may not be a far cry
from Cleopatra to Broadway and the
day when an accident gave William
Hepnef, master wig-maker, the idea
which crowned Miss America with
the old Bob" wig Of the eighteenth
century. The way it happened makes
an interesting story.
Irene Castle was starring III
'sWatch Your Step" when she was
suddenly stricken with typhoid fever.
As often happens, it caused her
abundant locks to become thin, and
while still in the hospital, she sent
to Mr.. Hepner's New York establish
lnent for expert advice. The wig-
maker suggested that she have her
head shaved and that she wear a
wig until her own pretty hair grew
out again. This Irene Castle refused
to consider, but She made the coun-
ter-suggestion that her hair be cut
off at the shoulder. Mr.. Hepners at
once remembered the pleasing effect
Of the old-time Bob wig and pro-
ceeded to adapt it to the present sit
ustion. BY cutting Miss Castles hair
and curling the ends under, he
achieved the effect thatat once Great
ed such furore. In no time the new
kind of hair cut had attained the dig
nifty of a style and proceeded on the
way to its present popularity.

CHICAGO LIFTS E ITSELF HIGHER
Now City Is We'll Above High
 Water Mark

Chicago. Oct. 8. P(-Chicago has lifted itself fifteen feet by its own boot straps.
 In so doing, it has made the building of a subway more difficult, city engineers point out, but it has fixed itself high and dry above the level of Lake Michigan, and many of it's downtown buildings stand where little more than half a century ago were only swamps and sloughs.
 Streets Higher Than Lake
 Old Fort Dearborn, at the mouth of Chicago River and Lake Michi- gan, was built on a level with the lake and behind it was a marshy morass. When the town began to develop, the street level was made three feet nights by filling in the wastes with dirt. rock and sand. Then it was raised to seven feet and now the street level of Michigan avenue is fifteen feet, and the levels Of other loop streets and most of the cose-in residential sections vary from fourteen to fifteen feet.
 This increasing of it's stature was not easy, and many residents can remember when State Streets side walks were lifted fourteen feet, leav- Ing the unpaved mud streets seven feet below.
 Makes Subway Difficult
 The raising of the street levels has been accompanied by the mak- ing of new land and the Illinois Central tracks, once standing on piers along the lake front above the ground level of the business district, now are some ten feet under the street level. nd with a mile of land between them and the waterline. Chicago's whole understructure Is of sand, and the surfacing of this with debris and loose dirt has added to the impossibility of ever build ing a subway by tunnelling through under existing streets while traffic goes on. Subways must be by open cuts, filled over for surface streets after the work is done. New Yorks problem is easier, for the city rests largely on rock and subway builders may tunnel through the rock.
