LONDON FAYORS
 BLONDE CRAZE

London.-West-end hairdressers are certain that the platinum blondes of Hollywood and the Fol- lies are worth more than they re- ceive, even if their yearly enve- lopes bulge to more than a million dollars.
 The hair craze set by them is bringing hundreds of pounds into fashionable salone and many of the leading coiffeur houses are changing brunetets into silvery fairness at the rate of three a day. Four or five treatments are re- quired. The individual appoint ments cost from s10 to $25 and when the process of going plati- mum" is started it cannot be stopped.
 Once the hair Is platinum, it must be re-dyed once a month. It's another case of the upkeep that counts and not the original cost.
 Several hairdressers have sent experts to Paris to find out the newest and most effective methods of transforming hair to this shade.

Nobedanz Found Hospitality in West-lf Doors Were Locked, Windows Were Open-Still Refuses to Admit Former Residence in Waterbury

Inspector Paul Sutton of the Omaha, Neb., detective bureau is apparently hopeful that in the fu- ture young Waterburians seeking flame and fortune" out west will give that city a wide berth. Espe- cially, if they are as efficient as one Kenneth Klobed&nz the erst- while "bath tub' burglar of this city.
 In letter to Chief Inspector William P. Keegan of the local de- tective bureau to-day Inspector Dutton pens a short, snappy mess age. He informs the Waterbury po- lice that young Mir Klobedanz in a confidential mood admitted that he had been a resident of Omaha but two weeks and had found the city one of the most hospitable com munities in his travels. It oeared to the youth that every residence was observing "open house. to him. If the doors were not unlock ed, the windows were. Disregarding the formality of invitations Klobe- dang gained entrance to no less than 25 homes. This is no idle boast. The Omaha police were at first inclined to the opinion that the young man was boasting. After awhile they believed him. The youth aided the authorities to the recovery of jewelry and clothing taken from 5 homes, He lost track of some of his plunder. In view of this performance Inspector Sutton is content to write and state that young MT Klobedanz was respon- sible for 25 or more "breaks".

He was sen- fenced to the Nebraska state peni- tentiary for eight years. owing to the crowded condition of the state prison at Lincoln he is at present waiting commitment in the Doug- las County jail.
 Young Klobedanz still refuses to admit that he is from little Water- bury, Conn. The fact that the local police have sent 8 warrant to Me- braska asking for the young mans arrest on the completion of his term might persuade him to con- fess to his series of long breaks.
 The Waterbury police have suf- ficient evidence to charge the young man with 27 counts of breaking and entering. The number may be increased if owners would submit to the police that their homes were entered and valuables taken. The authorities are obtaining plenty of data from insurance agents who are adjusting claims for jewelry and other articles of value taken.
 Several hundred dollars worth of stolen goods have been recover ed from local second hand stores and pawn shops and in each in- stance, notwithstanding fictitious names, the description given of the young man pawning the goods tal- lies with MT Klobedanz.

WAGE SLAVERY
ON U. S. JOBS is
TARGET OF BILL
Congressman Says Law Is
Haunted by Group of
Contract Brokers'

By Scripps-HoUard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.--Declar-
ing that the spirit of the prevailing
wage law is being Haunted by a
group of contracting brokers" who
undercut regular contractors and
farm out government work to sub
contractors, Representative Robert
L. Bacon CRep., N. " today said he
would ask congress for amendments
to the Davis Bacon act to broaden
its scope and put teeth in it.
Representative Bacons determi-
nation was strengthened by reports
from American Federation of La
Dor investigators of slavery in its
most hideous form" among workers
for government contractors on the
Mississippi river lee project near
Vicksburg.
He says that by ruling of the
controller general any contractor
offering the lowest bid is RESPONSE
BILE" if he can offer the required
certified check to cover fulfillment
Of the contract.
Under this, Bacon says, contract
ing middle-men are able to get the
governments work and outbid those
paving good wages.
Bacon proposes to amend the pre-
vailing wage law, passed last spring,
to provide that:
l. The word responsible" shall be
defined so as to exclude from bid
ding these contracting brokers" and
include only bona fide contractors;
2. The law be broadened to in
clude a mandatory prevailing wage
on more than mere public buildings.
This would make Hoover dam, the
