Seeking some of the reflected

run to striking shoes and ties, fancy

one way to follow the admonition,

been waited over the radio and from
rostrum and pulpit by speakers dur.
ing the past few days.

waving in the breezes; there's a rush
Tor the spigot and Washington s
shieks emerge with heads frizzIed.
Many a Washington youth today
was deploring the fact that he had,
after a struggle of years, eliminated
a COW lick; others sought the aid of
their barber; many used the white
of an egg to give their hair that
nOnchalant wavy effect, which Col.

fame, has immortalized.
