DRESSING OF HAIR
OLD-T|ME FASHION
skiHet Workers Evidently
Prosperous In Ancient Rome,
Elaborate Coiffeurs Indicate.

Hairdressers must have been as
highly skilled and as we'll remunerated
in ancient Rome as members of that
prosperous clan are today. Judging by
the elaborate coiffeurs of Roman EN-
presses shown in a series of portrait
busts that have just appeared in Art
and Archaeology, the journal of the
Archaeological Society of Washington.
The styles of coiffeur represented
In the period from so B.C. to 800 AID.

bob of tight thick curls to an elabo-
rate coronet arrangement of twists
and braids that could hardly have all
grown on the lady's own head, accord.

conducting this research on the
tonsorial art of antiquity.
Curling Irons Found m Pompeii.
Curling irons and pomade jars
found at Pompeii bear testimony that
many lovely Romans did not have
naturally curly hair, while the head

erences in Latin literature. was
located at the Portico Phillipus in the
Campus Martiue at Rome.
Unfortunately there is no authentic
concrete notion posterity can get of
the famous Egyptians charms comes
from coins struck with her image
during her reign. The coins do not
bear the profile of any ravishing
beauty. but as Miss Leon poin'h out,
this may be due partly to the DE-
ficienCy of the minter's art and partly
to the fact that the Queen had more
fascination of manner than regularity
of features. According 10 this iinper-
feet record. Cleopatra had a thin face
with heavy features and an aquiline
nose. Her luXuriant locks were
combed forward and divided into
seven strands, twisted each into a
separate roll and drawn back over
the top and sides of the head to the
nape of the neck. Here the ends were
fastened into a small hard knot tied
with a fllet, the ends of which were
left hanging down loose.
Liyia CIassically Simple.
The bust of Livia, the wife of
Augustus Caesar, who was about 16
years younger than Cleopatra, shows
classical simplicity in hairdressing
that is almost severe when compared
to her more qashing eotemporary.
Toward the end of the third cen.
tury the empire began to give way
under barbarian attack, and the art
more or less disappeared for a time.
When portraits again appeared in the
mosaics of later period, the rolls.
knots, clubs and frizzed bands of the
empire had vanished, to be replaced
by the simple long braids of women
OF BARBARIAN tribes.

$500 PATENTS GRANTED
FOR RADIANT ENERGY
Figures Show Fans Have Been
Turned Into Inventors
by Radio.

Radio has set inventors going and
turned many fans into inventors, so
that today more than $500 patents
have been granted which apply to
radiant energy alone. Figures on the
total number of patents relating to
radio are not available.
Patents on transmitters number
o22, on receivers, 307. Under receiv-
ers, antennae patents number 1l9;

MERRY Milkmen''
Seek Injunction
To Protect Name
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON.-An unhappy quartet
of ''milkmen" has appeared in
court here seeking an injunction
to make them exclusively merry"
They claim that since 1925 they
have been known on the radio as
the -Four Merry Milkmen" and
have registered the name as a
form of advertisement with the
secretary OF state.
OF late. they claim, another
group of singers has been broad
casting under the name OF THE
Merry Milkmen."
The quartet wish to enjoin the
other singers and the station from
broadcasting any Merry Milkmen"
programs unless they participate.
They also ask damages.

SUBSCRIBERS INCREASE.
New CZechoslovakian Station
Brings Total to 100000.

The number of official subscribers
in Czechoslovakia increased last Sum
mer when, ordinarily, the number
should drop, ana now totals about
100000, according to reports to the
Department of Commerce.
The erection of a broadcasting sta.
ton at kOsice is said to have caused
an increase in interest, particularly
in Slovakia and Russinia. The gov
ernment is understood to have pur-
chased a site for another station in
Bratislavia, and it is thought prob
able in Prague that another station
will be erected soon in the Ostrava
district.

Compromised for Pro ress.

Prevention of vibration through
Sklllful mounting of vacuum tubes
ha; been one Of the detailed problems
of radio engineering. The first
thought i'll this connection was that
OF providing a rubber, or otherwise
flexible, base for the tubes, but the
idea was not very generally followed
and for time lapsed into oblivion.
Engineers found that by cushioning
the tube through a flexible or soft
base there wa possibility of even
greater tube disturbance than if il
were rigi3ly socketed.
This gave rise to the plan of plac-
ing weights on the tube top, an ar
ranSemsnt that has been mistaken by
man" as shielding. These weights
were found to be effective in holding
tubes steady SO that fewer micro
phonic noises could devel0p.
Now third and logical step has
been taken. The two ideas have been
combined. One of the newer receiv-
ers reveals cappe~ tubes mou.ted on
cushion sockets.
The effect is something like the ease
and steadiness of heavy automobile
running on balloon tires.

NEW BRAKES ON

Dodge Brothers. Inc, is now

The new four-wheel brakes are of
the expanding band type, operating
mechanically on 12-inch drums. They
can he operated with the lightest
foot pressure and make possible alb
solutely uniform braking on all four
wheels. Although they constitute a
major improvement to Dodge Broth

added at no extra cost to the pur-
chaser. The de luxe sedan. in fact.
is being reduced $25. and will here

Improvement. "Since the company

gained rapidly in popularity with
the purchasers of moderate priced
cars.
The slogan by which 1t was In.

reasons for the remarkable success
which it has achieved, for with the
public's recognition that Dodge

THE remarkable acceleration Of
the new cars--0 to % miles through
gears in less than seven seconds
and their ability to make 2S miles
to the gallon at 25 miles per hour
have also proved substantial argu-
ments in their favor.

only through the farseeing policy OF
the Chevrolet organization and the
tremendous resources and produc-

Company. Never in the history Of
the industry will so many new

Unofficial reports from the Chew
