USES HUMAN HAIR
PAINTING SCENERY
Former Hair Dresser Uses Head
Covering for Pigments

Berlin. Feb. Z (UP)-Russia has
presented another novelty to the
world-a portrait and landscape
painter. Gregori Boruchoff. who
uses human hair in place Of the
customary oils and pigments In
painting his pictures.
Boruchoff's unique works, which
ut first glance appear indistinguish-
able from pictures actually done in
oil. have been displayed at many
private showings and in several OF
the smaller European museums
and galleries. When on = visit to
Berlin recently. he expressed the
hope Of being able to show his por-
traits in America sometime in the
near future.
Born ~ years ago in Chernigoff.
Ukraine, Boruchoff became an ap-
prentice hairdresser when he was
10 years old, ultimately reaching
the elevated estate Of hairdresser
for the famous Russian theatrical
cast Of the Brothers Adeiheim.
It was while working at his
chosen profession In Chernigoff 20
years ago that he stumbled upon
the art Of ''hair-portraiture." His
initial attempts to perfect the art
failed, however. and 1t was not un-
til he found himself supplied with
an overabundance of leisure In 1915
when he was a prisoner Of war In
an Austrian camp-that he succeed
ed in developing his knitting TECH
nique and his judgment OF color
values to point where he could
paint" to his personal satisfaction.
He was assisted in his studies at
that time by q Swedish member of
an American prisoners relief COM
mittee, who obtained money and
the requisite materials for him.
During his recent visit here Bo-
ruchoff explained his system OF
''hair- portraiture." His canvass is
a piece of silk or linen cloth and
his brush fine knitting needle.
He gathers his materials, consist
ing of many strands of hair of vari-
Gus shades, on a palette. and there
blends or mixes the shades until
he obtains the desired tint much
as the ordinary oil painter mixes
his pigments. He then takes the
blended strands and knits them on
to the cloth. His knitting. method,
he said, is that used In making
Gobelin tapestries. To get the
proper lights and shadows In his
pictures he uses light and dark
shades of hair exactly AZ the oil
painter uses light and dark colors.
In this manner he succeeds in work.
ing into his portraits the minutest
details of the face OF his subject,
down even to the crows-feet about
the eyes and the wrinkles around
the nose and mouth.
Bcruchoffs only complaint waa
directed against bobbed hair. He
must have long, fine hair for GER
tain features Of his painting" and
the bobhed-hair fad has greatly
limited his supply of this material.

PUZZLES
DEFY SCIENTISTS
Fragments Hold Valuable His:
tory Of Old Indian Races

Washington, Feb. Z up Frank
H. H. Roberts, Jr., of the Bureau Of
American Ethnology, is spending the
winter-not merely winters eve
ning-trying to solve series of pot
terry puzzles which he collected last
summer in southwestern Colorado.
The fragments came from the
ruins of wood and adobe dwellings
occupied 1900 to 1000 years ago
at the very dawn of the Pueblo
Indian culture. He has been able
thus far to put together $50 pieces
of pottery. ranging from children's
toys to useful cooking. eating and
high and four to II inches wide.
Like the woodworker who can
never foretell what hidden beau
ties will be exposed by the next
sweep of his plane. Mr.. Roberts is
constantly booking forward TO I'M
covering the mysteries OF primitive
designs.
No two Of the designs are alike.
That helps to some extent in fitting
the pieces together, but the ar
chaeologist has to place his chief
reliance on the feel of the frag-
ments, their texture. surface and
thickness.
They show, Mr.. Roberts says.
that the Indians who made them
depended chiefly on gourds and
other native vegetation for their
models, and that the potter's wheel
was unknown to them.
They made their pottery much as
their predecessors, the basketmak-
ers, constructed the baskets which
characterized the earliest culture.
Rolling out lengths of moist clay
between their hands, they coiled
them round and round into the
shapes desired. smoothed the sur
faces. decorated them, and baked
the vessels in crude but effective
klns.
In later periods. the outer sur
faces were left unsmoothed. This
was done, MIR. Roberts believes, to
present the greatest possible heat
ing surface to the fire. Whether
the Indians actually thought of
that, however, or were merely lazy,
he comedies, remains one of the
mysteries of the past which has
not definitely been solved.

MARKET SWEPT BY
Big Selling WAVE
New Points Of Weakness Develop
After Noon Recovery

New York, Feb. I R-The federal
reserve boards announcement that
speculative credit must be restrained
and the rise of l per cent In the
Bank of England discount rate kick
ed the props from under the stock
market today and prices tumbl'd ,
to 20 points in the greatest wave Of
selling since the December break.
Partial recoveries took place in a
midday rally. but neN points OF
weakness were continually cropping
out to further disturb speculative
confidence.
Trading was in unusually heavy
volume. Total sales crossed the e.
100000 share mark before noon
The ticker. which had fallen 20
minutes behind the market, made
up most of the delay by the end of
the third hour.
Wall street has seldom awaited a
not SO much to see what the market
would do as 1t was generally con-
ceded that reaction was inevitable,
but to learn the extent of the de-
cline. The few first prices which
appeared on the tape showed losses
of only fractions to 2 points but
then came 4 block of 10000 shares
of U. s. Steel common at an over
night los Of 6 points and a break
of II points in General Electric on
the first sale.

Westinghouse Electric II and Allied
Chemical. Curtiss, U. s. Industrial

falling to 10 points. Rails yielded

cifc dropping 3 points and Union

1t was quite evident that much of
the opening selling represented IL
quotation by frightened small specu-
lators so that when the renewal rate
for call money was marked down to
6 per cent. several large traders
stepped into the market and bought
stocks for a quick turn"
With an abundant supply OF spec
ulative credit. furnished largely by
private corporations, individuals and
banks outside the control OF the fed
eral reserve system. furnishing the
background for the recent advance
in stock prices. it was natural that
the overnight developments which
threatened a curtailment of brokers'
loans would result in the wholesale
liquidation of stocks.
Previous warnings against the ex-
cessive use of speculative credit have
been generally disregarded but the
possibility OF a rise in federal re-
serve rediscount rates. coupled with
the higher Bank Of England rate
which will check the flow of gold
from London to New York, proved
bitter pill for "bull' traders.
Favorable trade and business news
also has been an important factor ir
the recent rise in stock prices. but
the federal reserve board pointed
out that business prosperity has
been threatened by the recent rise
in interest rates resulting from the
abnormal absorption Of credit by the
speculative markets.
