FIRST "HIGH HALTER"
IN LONDON ARRESTED
Present Day English Young Men
Probably Unaware of Early
Experience.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July Mot many of the
ultra smart young men of Mayfair
who are bringing the high silk hat
back into favor know that the first
person to wear such headgear in Lon
don was promptly arrested for ''incit-
ing to riot and a breach of the peace"
The style was invented in 1897 by
Strand halter named Hethweington,
who calmly placed one on his head
and walked out into the street. His
tory relates that such a crowd grew
that boy was thrown down and
trampled on and his arm broken,
while women screamed and tainted.
The poor halter was bound over in
5000 bail not to repeat the offense
1t is said that this encouraged the
nat bootleggers of the day to popu-
larize the fashion.

BOYS HAIR WAVED.
New Fashion Appears Among Col
lege Students in England.

LONDON, July 2 GP).-The latest
fashion among English college boys
is to have their hair waved.
While old Cambridge and Oxford
grads are inclined to sniff at the in
novation as "foppish" the goods are
divided in their opinions. Some frank
ly admire exquisitely waved hair
which gives the young men the APP
pearance of the traditional matinee
idol. others scott at them for being
effeminate.
A Cambridge hairdresser reports
that he has never known so many
undergraduates to have their hair
waved as now. 4

ONE ENGLISH MARRIAGE
FAILS IN EVERY 100
Registrar General Makes Statistics
Public on Matrimony and
Divorce.

LONDON, July 1.-The registrar
general has disclosed that one mar
rage out of every hundred fails in
England.
Divorce in England. where dissolu-
ton of marriage is granted only on
grounds of adultery, is becoming more
and more common, especially since
newspapers were forbidden by law to
publish divorce case details. Before
the World War the number of per-
sons divorced was about ! 900 a year.
Since the war the figure has been in
creased five times.
Three Of every five divorced persons
get married again. The ma jority of
these are men, of whom 70 per cent
marry spinsters, 10 per cent marry
widows and per cent marry divorced
women. OF the divorced women who
remarry, 70 per cent take bachelors
for their second husbands, while 20
per cent prefer widowers. Two out Of
every three divorced men marry
again, but only one-half Of the di-
vorced women remarry.

Don't Ignore ACID Scalp!

We have all been too close to
people whose hair had a notice
able odor. 1t is due to an acid
ity that soap and water are
powerless to prevent. You may
not have acid scalp. Or you may
have it and not know it. But
dandruff should make you sus-
picious, and hair that Strings"
is a sure sign.
When hair has a dull, "dead"
look after curling-and the
wave is all out a few hours after
use of the iron-it is time to use
Danderine. Just few drops of
this highly scientific prcpara-
tion will check acidity, and give
your hair such lovely softness
that dressing it will be a delight.
1t will arrange easily, and stay
as you arrange it. Every par
ticle of scale will be dissolved.
1t makes an amazing difference.
And for only thirty-hve cents,
