HEALTH, BEAUTY,
AND CHARM
Keep young and beautiful.
If you want to be loved,
The short Bob versus the long
Bob.


With the beginning of fall and
winter we find so many women
Letting their hair grow, as is
camonly spoken For some reason
we associate short hair for sum
mer and long hair for winter.
For some time there has been a
gradual but very decided trend
towards shorter hair, and the smart
hairstyles of this winter promises
to be the shorter hair styles. Skirts
+ getting shoter and hats are get
ting smaller and both these style
trends demand shorter hair.
And too, short hair, contrary
to popular opinion, lends itself mo-
re readily to a variation in style
than a longer bob.
We recomend the short bob, be-
cause we know it will give salts
faction. When the hair is short
and dressed along simple lines, it Is
very easy for the patron to care
for her coiffure at home. She
can comb and brush it as much as
she plcases and 1t will still retain
its wave and curl.
Short hair can also be arranged
In more elaborate styles for formal
occasions.

naire. The highest have ever heard
of is around IS to 80 per cent. The
Literary Digest has had big mailings
and has polled large numbers Of reg
istered voters in other election years
with no such result as so per cent
in Maryland or anywhere else. The
Digest gets an average of 81 to %
per cent.
How then to account for it? 1t is
possible that the Democratic organiza-
tion in Maryland. which has a pre-
cinct> set-up that is very effective,
sent word to the precinct captains to
be sure and get out and vote for the
Sun poll 1t would be excellent
strategy psychologically. No matter
what the explanation of the unusual
response, however, believe the Balti-
more Sun poll does indicate Roose-
welt victory in Maryland, but I will
not be surprised if the majority Is
far less than the recent poll would
seem to indicate. While the Digest
poll shows a substantial trend to
Roosevelt in Maryland. it is not any
where as big as the Baltimore Sun
