and plated in thousand different
ways before it was finally allowed to
grow long again. But history-at any
rate. fashion history--does not always
repeat itself exactly.
One thing is certain, and that is
that the present disposition on the
part of numerous young American
women to revive the fashion for long
er hair, knows no counterpart in
France. There are long-haired young
women in France, but they are for
the most part girls who have never
had their hair cut at all. With them
long hair is a matter of economy or
extreme conservatism-not reaction
against too much short hair as 1t Is
in this country.

often. Even hair in the awkward
stages of growing again has few ter

to have it waved and arranged several
times a week.
French hairdressers themselves as
sure us that there is much more
disposition to have the hair waved
and curled than there was year
ago, and usually hair is worn longer.
Some women rather than spend hours
a week with the hairdresser resort to
wigs-and these are so light in weight
that they can hardly be considered a
burden. You may wear your own
rather close-cut hair for the daytime
when for the most part you appear
with hat and then wear your per-

considerable.

Many women invariably wear some

MERICANS lust nd

A MERICANS just returned from
~ France do not encourage us in
"A the belief that there is any
4 4 marked tendency over there to
revive long hair. One swai-
low does not make. Summer, and the
fact that one or two notable French
women are known to have given up
the short coiffures does not mean that
the fashion is waning.
They are still having their hair
cut" observes one woman just back
from Paris, "but they are doing all
sorts of queer things withSit."
They are parting it in all sorts Of
unprecedented ways, friZZing it, max
ing ringlets of it, wearing part Of it
waved and part straight. There are
bangs that extend all the way from
the back of the head to the eyebrows
and bangs that consist of the merest
fringe in the middle of the forehead
and in front of each ear. There are
clusters of curls at the nape of the
neck, puffs of frowsy hair at the top
and front of the otherwise sleek head
and funny little curlicues of hair that
look for all the world like spit curls.
We might infer from all these signs
of discomfort with the conservative
bob or single that French women
were growing weary of short hair.
We might instance the fact that a
hundred years ago the short hair that
came into fashion after the French
Revolution was first curled and twisted

where they had been selling before,
it was fairly jammed with people.
and the parade was already approach
ing a block away. porky took his
place on one corner with Red beside
him, and Bill and Bob dashed across
the street. At once the voices OF the
boys were added to the din.
Fright this wa-ay to get your real
balloons, folks! They're filled with
real gas, They really fly! Only 10
cents! Right this way!'
The idea seemed to appeal to the
crowd, and in spite of the fact that
the first wagons of the parade had
arrived, there was a surging across
the street toward the vendors Of the
priced spheres.
Then suddenly there come a wild
cry that sent chill of terror
through the crowd. Some spectator
few doors down the street, in
burst of horror at what he saw, took
it up, and in minute the street
was full of the shout, Lion loose!
Lion loose! Run for your lives"
For one awful moment panic filled
the hearts of the crowd. Then grad.
ually a ripple of laughter replaced
the cries of fear. The escaped lion.
which had dashed from a cage, was
seen to be only clown in a NANCY
lion skin, pursued by another clown
in the guise of lamb.
But the damage was already done.
At the first cries the crowd around
Porky, who was holding tightly the
gas-filled balloons, started a rush
down the street. Porky, strive as he
would, was unable to keep his bal.
ance. Suddenly he was bowled over, ;
and to save himself from being tram
pied, he had to let go of the balloons.
A shout arose from the excited
crowd as the bundle of balloons, free
now, started soaring upward. A man
in a second story window reached
for them as they passed, but missed
them by inches, and oon they went,
higher and higher. sd
The four members of the Con-.
querors' Club, gathered in the street
below, were totally unaware of the
passing parade. Their eyes were on
the balloons. a mere black spot in
the sky now.
"Well, there go our profits, fell
lows" said Bob, sorrowfully. IT'S
a good thing we kept out that go
cents for change: We only lose 70;
cents on this days work. Well,
Porky,. it wasn't your fault. II that
nut only hadn't lost his head and
thought a lion was loose"
Bill, detected, sighed. THAT Is the.
second idea of mine that has lost
money. Guess I'll quit. But it's
what we get for being hogs about
the profits. The thing that makes me
mad is that we didn't sell enough to
get into the show"
''Ah, who wants to see that thing,
growled Porky. 1T looks

purchased from the circus short time
before.
Perhaps it was their lusty shouting,
or perhaps it was merely the fact that
people want balloons on circus day,
but at any rate, the Conquerors en-
joyed real prosperity. It was only a
few minutes after they started that
they were racing back to the circus
tent with the first bunch all sold, and
with capital Of $40 to invest in more
balloons.
That's 81 we've sold!' yelled Red,
as they trotted along toward the big
tent. ''We'll get As more with this
money, and when we sell them we'll
have $3.50 to buy more with"
"Well be able to sell our 200 and
get into the show, all right" said Bill.
exultantly.
The balloons continued to go well.
and half hour later they were back
with the $3.50. But at Bob's sugges.
ton they bought only so more, and
kept 80 cents out to use in making
change.

Suddenly Bill stopped in his tracks.

PETER SWANSON PERFECTS
NEW SWITCHING DEVICE

J. A. Rabbe, mechanical engineer
of the Ramapo Ajax corporation,
called on Pete Swanson a few days
ago and offered to assist him in
making patterns and in the manu-
facture of the gravity switch hooks
and gravity springless automatic
switch locks, Mr.. Swanson and asso-
ciates have patented, for demonstra-
tions on the D. & I. R. and other
roads that may be interested. The
D. & 1. R. has placed a small order
with the Ramapo corporation for
some of these new switch stands for
trial purposes.
Mr.. Swanson has been working on
this invention for several years past
and has finally secured patents. The
invention is safety device on
switches and precludes the posi-
bility of the switch going wrong af-
ter unlocking. Under the new de-
vice, when the switch has been I'M
locked, the key cannot be removed
from the lock until the switch has
been properly set and the handle is
down in place when the lock will
automatically secure the operating
handle and the key can then be re-
moved. The device is also FROST
proof.
