 That leads to something else. Not all the fancy hair waving and Idyeing, is confined to the female clerical help. Sitting in the Senate gallery during a session, you could not count on your fingers the number of stately heads of hair made gorgeous by the delft touch of the waving iron and the dye pot THEY'RE AWFUL PARTICULAR
 To degree the House also dyes and crimps, but being somewhat younger family, the men there find less need of it.
 One beauty operator says that number of male customers has in- creased since President Roosevelt pointed finger of suspicion at the abilities of gentlemen of 70 and up. Gray hair, by that edict, was made less popular, and the beauty shops helped make it less preva- lent.
 Men customers are persnickity as all get out, says this operator. Women take hair dyeing as mat ter of course. They don't fuss about a minor imperfection or trifling flaw that may or may not give away the dyeing job. But if spot of dye or a tell-tale blemish shows up in the hair of statesman, it takes on the proportions of an interna- tional incident.
 Now don't write in for names of Congressional dyed-heads. We won't give 'em We value our own bristles too much.

"uC, uOy Vi Shi
 The second day and night of the Southeast Alaska Fair went over big and although the crowd was late, all were pleased with the new makeup in booths, all being artis- tically arranged, enjoyed the band concert and floor show and various departments and patronized the game devices.
 The entertainment this year is far above that of the past several years. The three performers are artists in their lines and have made big hits. Furthermore, the three are glad to give special acts for the children in the afternoons, to the delightful enthusiasm of the young sters, hundreds who have never be- fore seen tight wire performances, contortionists or rope acts. The performers are giving a special en- tertainment tomorrow afternoon for the kiddies.
 The three artists are Don La Vola, performing on the slack wire; Milly Darlo, musical contortionist and acrobat, and Dainty Helen Le Claire who performs on the rope, over the heads of the audience. The three give their acts at 9:30 and 11:30 o'clock each night, but the acts came nearly being delayed last night. Le Claire slipped through crack in the dressing room floor she is so small, and Manager Ralph Martin had to call for the services of Milly Darlo to squeeze herself through a knot to carry down the slack wire La Vola had to take from his act, to tie around the lost performer and pull her back to earth. The perform ances went on nearly on schedule and received spontaneous and heavy applause.
 The entertainment was opened last evening by the Juneau City Band which gave a splendid con- cert of marches, waltzes, polkas and mazurkas. Tonight's program, which starts at 8 o'clock, has been eSpec- ially arranged and Saturday nights program will contain many real car- nival night numbers.
 Visitors to the Fair are amazed at the elaborate displays in the de- partment conducted by the women. The floral display is an eye-opener, as well as other exhibits in the quarter of block of space under the seating gallery.

A sparkling love feud which takes place in Q medieval castle in rural England is ainusingly depicted in Fred Astaire's current feature pic- ture, "A Damsel Tn Distress" acc claimed one of the years funniest and most tuneful screen offerings.

 Joan Fontaine, as a titled English lady, and Fred Astaire engage in the adventure, aided and ahetted by George Burns, Oracle Allen, Regi- nald Gardiner, Ray Noble, Cons- tance Collier, Harry Watson and Mountagu Love.
 The hectic and riotous love affair begins with Q chance meeting in London at Q time when Miss Fon- taine Is frantically trying to evade a distasteful marriage to Ray Noble, her aunts intellectual step-soa. Astaire, disgusted with the false publicity of his press agents, Burns and Allen, who paint him as Q great lover, Is attracted to the pretty damsel, follows her to her ancestral castle and by Q clever scheme of Q page boy, Harry Watson, becomes involved in a rocky romance.
 The spineless rival, the doting father, an imperious aunt and the robust partnership of the servants in the caste, all combine to make the romantic affair Q happy tangle of love and laughter. Dances and songs by Astaire and the Burns and Allen enliven the proceedings.
 Astaire reveals a novel group of dance routines, most conspicuous and sensational of which is his Drum dance, in which he plays 2 dozen different percussion instru- ments while doing his steps In the ,,iist of an orchestra stage. An- other novelty is the whisk-broonl dance which he performs with Burns and Allen as his partners. A spright- Iy comedy routine is, Astaire's Street dance, performed to q Can't Be Bothered Now" as he edges away from a truculent policeman.
 The companion attraction is "The Adventurous Blonde" another of those peachy Torchy Blanc stories, with Glenda Farrell and Barton MacLane in tho featured roles.
