Coiffures for Young Girls.

Dear Miss Leeds: Cd I am IL years
old and have long yellow curls, which
put back and they form knot. Please
suggest some different ways of dressing
my hair. 90 My measurements are:
Ankle, inches; calf. 10; thigh. 1919;
hips, 80; waist. 29la: bust 33. 1 weigh
ITO pounds. Am 1 too heavy?
DOROTHY.
Answer.-1 A pretty way to dress
your hair would be to divide it from
ear to ear. Arrange the back section
in three or four long curls and fasten
them together at the nape of your neck
with long barrette. Brush the top
section of hair straight back from your
face. curl the ends in three or four
ringlets and fasten them together with
another long barrette just back of the
crown of your head. This will give you
two tiers of curls behind Another be-
coming coiffure has a part on the left
side, which divides the front hair into
a small left-hand section and a large
right hand section. Brush the right
section down to the right. Brush the
small left piece of hair back of your
left ear and around to the back. Now
comb and brush all the back hair
around to the right side of your head
and make it into cluster of long curls
hanging in front of your right shoulder.
Fasten with barrette. 90 You forgot
to state your height. If you are between
feet and feet inches in height. your
present weight is good. If you are taller
than 5 feet inches, you are under
weight. Your thigh seems very small,
but the other measurements are fair for
a girl of your age. cannot Judge them
without knowing your height, however.

T4LKIE MYSTERIES
 NONE TOO CONPLEX

CHICAGO, April 24-Moyie fans all know what makes the talkies talk, but three are some whispers in scientific laboratories still left to be revealed.
 One of these is the reputed "si- lent" film of the silver screen. When tested for recording sound, some of this film was found to be surprisingly noisy. The racket came from microscopically fine irregu- larities in the silver grains forming the sensitized surface of the film. These noisy, rough spots were got ten rid of by making a smoother emulsion. for the film surfaces. Another whisper is the 'fader. '' This is part of a control that can amplify sound in talkie apparatus by 100.000,000 times. Its use is not to make extremely loud sounds, but to fade them down to such real whispers in volume that the sound from a new reel may be broadcast without being heard by anyone ex- cept the operator, while the old reel is finishing It is used tc synchronize the sound reels.

F A R M RELIEF IS PREFE R E 3
 WORK, CONGRESS
All Other Issues Are Put Aside for Administra-
 tion's Program

WASHINGTON, April 24-Immi- grafton, Prohibition, Flood Relief and host of other proposals push ed before the Senate in the early days of the extra session of Con gress have settled behind in the restricted program in the face of doubtful future.
 Senator Heflin, of Alabama, started a debate and held the floor for two hours appealing for adoption of resolution condemn ing treatment accorded him at Brocktcn, Mass, where he made a Ku Klux Klan speech but Farm Relief got start and his reso- lution was put aside.
 Farm Relief nas reached the amendment stage in the House and is in first place on the Adminis- tration's program in the Senate How long the debate will run is probiematical After it ends the Administrations bill for the 193C census and reapportionment of the House await consideration.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-04-24

The start of all the talkies was in another piece of apparatus of the whisper catching variety, made in the Bell Laboratories of New York by Dr. Edward c. Wente of the research department. x The experts at the Western Elec- tric Company here, where talkie machines are manufactured, say that making the talkies talk is very simple. One type, they say, does it with a film and the other with a recording disc.
 But right here the simplicity ends, as they describe the extreme care used to obtain precision in manufacture. They tell of measure ments dealing with -thousandths of an inch. machines so delicate they are operated only after mid night when cars are not causing vibration.
 They tell of workingmen thrust ing their hands into dust proof cabinets to make some sensitive parts, and wearing rubber gloves that are sealed into the cabinets.

BRITISH EXPERT SEES
 U. s. TRADE SUPREM 4CY

LONDON, April 24.-Sir Charles Higham, one of Britains leading advertising experts, forecasts that America will capture the worlds markets through her advertising and salesmanship enterprise.
 Speaking before thc Publicity club of London on the trend of American advertising Sir Charles said:
 "It is more and more toward the newspapers. The copy is bet ter than ever. Slang and jazz de- sign is passing. The American people respond to advertising more keenly than eyer. Practically every thing good is trademarked and ad- vertised. The American woman buys practically nothing that is not guaranteed by the makers.
 The installment method of sell. ing is growing in America and nearly everything can be bought on this plan. It has played big part in Americas prosperity and in my opinion would help us tre- mendously here if we adopted it generally.
 America will soon be a big ad- vertiser in the export market. She is determined to capture the world markets and we may well look to our laurels. We need to push for export also, or mark my words, we shall lose it. The prince of Wales is right-we have got to buck up. stimulate our salesmanship and advertise.
 The manner in which American business houses back up their sales manship abroad is simply astonish- ing. No expense is spared.
 "Quotations and samples are sent by air mail where possible. The salesman cables or telephones instead of writing. The home of- flee welcomes his inquiries and the sales organization be hind the American traveller in the foreign field would stagger many of our manufacturers at home"

John Peebles, who re- lates the story and also par ticipates in the investiga- tion, describes MacNair as a tall, lean man, with a swarthy skin and a thin face as keen as a razor blade.
 His eyes were dark and hard, with nothing friendly or human about them" Peebles says, "A year or two my junior, he had re- tired from professional life six months ago and taken up residence in San Felipe. He brought with him a handsome reputation as a man-tracker. Ruthless in his methods and diabolically clever, he was said to be less a personality than ma chine"
 The exciting events fol- lowing MacNair's entrance into the case will be told in daily installments in The Empire, beginning Monday, April %.
