BY LLOYD LEWIS,
Author of Myths After Lincoln"

CHICAGO, December 81 (NANA).
1t isn't often that the dull, dry
scholars who dig into American history
have anything to laugh about This
week. however, has been different.
Three doctors-not those Of radio
fame-have mummy under the X-ray
trying to prove whether or not its orig
inal tenant was John Wilkes Booth, the
man who shot Lincoln
One Of the three doctors, Edward
Miloslavich Of Milwaukee, is exultant
over the fact that, so far, the pictures
that have been made prove almost
without doubt" that Booth was not
killed in 1865, as histories say, but that
he escaped to the Southwest, died un-
der another name, and that this Is his
corpse under the X-ray.
The other doctors, Orlando F. Scott,
Chicago alienist, and Herman N. Bun
desen, Chicago health commissioner,
haven't yet decided If the mummy Is
Booths or just merely that of an Okla
homa house painter who died % years
ago with false claims on his drunk
en- lips.
In the last so years, some 20 men
have been said to be John Wilkes
Booth. It's an old American custom.

Suit Your Type.

It is possible to trasform your ap'
pearance by the simple process o.
changing your style of hairdressing
Every one is aware of that, but sur
prisingly few women bother to make
the experiment. If you want to make
the best of yourself, try different
styles of hairdressing until you dis
cover the one which really does suit
you more than any other style. Then
stick to it.
Don't be a slave to fashion. Be In
dividual and wear your hair In what
ever style and at whichever length
suits you, providing you avoid 9
dowdy or untidy couture. Those who
can afford to have their hair dressed
regularly by hairdrescer soon learn
how to arrange their hair becon1ingly
and give it the regular daily care
that it needs to keep it glossy and
in healthy condition. In order tc
help those of my readers who would
like to know how TO coiffure theil
hair becomingly I am giving a few
suggestions to help them with thi;
beauty problem.
Since the oval is the ideal facial out
line, 1t is wise to shape ones couture
to increase the oval tendency Of ones
face-or at least to diminish the lines
that markedly deviate from the oval
The following rules will help you tc
achieve the hairdress most becoming tC
your type of facial contour
II your features are regular and clear
cut cameolike, wear your hair severely
plain TO emphasize them. For women
with irregular features a softer type Of
hairdreSsing is kinder and more effec.
tive. But II your features are good
enough you should certainly wear the
STRAIGHTFORWARD type Of couture, which
Is always extremely chic.
A part in the center definitely In
creaSes the apparent width of the face
Therefore, this style Of hairdressine
should be adopted only by the person
with long slender face. Its simplicity
tends, too, to emphasize contours sc
that the person whose features are quite
irregular will do well to avoid 1t. A
side part decreases the apparent width
of the face, making 1t seem longer
High parting at the side gives the
greatest appearance of length; very low
parting emphasizes width at the top OF
the head. When the face is thin and
features are irregular. the low side part
often makes the most becoming Golf
fure.
Hair dressed low over the forehead
in bangs or waves makes the face
appear wider. and this style, there
fore, Is usually most becoming to the
long, narrow face. But hair worn
low on the forehead tends to enhance
the eyes and Is, for that reason, often
becoming even TO the fairly broad
face. Hair combed of the forehead
makes the face appear longer and
narrower. When the face is very
short from crown to chin, the Of

Nick likes you too well already. II
