INDIVIDUALITY
IN HAIRDRESS

only sensible arrangement They
also, were for dress reform and
chucking the steel-turreted cor
set; what we are wearing today
is what they advocated then.
Those grand old girls were ahead
of their time They were ridiculed
unmercifully, the poor dears.
We hear the long-nosed critics
saying today that every girl looks
like every other girl as far as
fashion is concerned They're off
ON the wrong foot. They should
consult their coiffure histories.
When the Psyche knot flourished,
every woman wore 1.-THE long
nosed. the snub nosed, the moon
face and the one with gaunt, fol-
low cheeks. There is more in
dividuality in hairdresses than
there has been within the memory
of your beauty reporter.
We realize that the arrangement
detail of the entire composition
which is the Good Looking Won-
an. The profile is taken into con-
sideration, the nose plays an es-
pecially important part when hair
is getting styled. The contour of
the neck decides the length of the
bob.
Even the figure mas a lot to do
with the disposal of brain foliage.
Formality for the heavy-set wom-
an: fluffy arrangements for the
fluffy girl. We are getting down to
brass tacks.
To the hairdressing profession
we must take off our hats and bow
low. Men and women of high ar
tistic gifts have produced the ell
chanting styles that make us what
we are. Long may they wave!

BY HELEN JAMESON

THERE'S NO excuse for a
scrambled, doWdy hairdress these
days. Stylists have outdone them
selves. Their offerings are varied
marvellous of detail. If our mops
were glory crowns in the past, what
are they now? So much more glor-
ious that the dictionary supplies
10 word to describe them. This
feminine thatch has taken upon
itself so much charm, lovelnesS
and youthfulness that all tllose Of
yester-years are not worth remem-
bering.
This miracle of hirsute perfec-
ton started when a smart CERT
conceived the idea of giving Wom-
an imitation of naturally curly
hair. The permanent wave has
meant more to the sisterhood than
the vote. That was the one big
step forward; so big that only the
"ancients and hcnorables" among
US who rastled with curling irons,
kid curriers' and other gadgets can
understand Or appreciate An hour
would be spent putting in a wave
with the iron, and a sudden show
er would make the head a mess OF
ragtags and bobtails. Look al
us now Let 'er rain; it matters
not. Waves and ringlets stay as
is.
Then came the shearing of those
useless tress ends that had beer
the pride and joy of women, ever
before the time when Lay Godlvs
used hers for a kimona. Anothel

America Never FaIters

Wars may come to shake this nation Co It's very foundations, but America lives on. It's 6 marvellous country, this in which we live. Let's keep 1t so that our sons and daughters and those who come after them may bask In the same sun: shine of freedom which has long beamed down on us. Last week Q horrible dis. aSter rocked the City of Hartford, for that matter the entire state. The wreckage of the proposed new Connecticut River bridge still lies at the waters edge, but work continues as usual
 A wrecking company speeds lip efforts Do pull the pile of crImpled steelwork from the river and to get rid of all the debris caused by the crumbling of the false piling. A new superintendent ig on the iob starting the task again Of placing girders on the pillars already in place; . new force of bridge workers has replaced those who were victims of the sudden crash. Such Is modern enterprise. Delays are not countenanced in projects of this sort. The work must continue whatever the price that has to be paid.
 When the new span Is finally thrown across the Connecticut River 1t probably will prove to be one of the costllest ever built in this state. It will be costly in dollars and cents as well as lives lost. Unfortunate, to be sure; perhaps un: avoidablel Only an official finding will determine this But American deternl- ination, perseverance, and grit prevail whatever happens. And this Is not much different than waging war against an enemy like the Japanese. Our losses to- day may be heavy, even alarming, but in the end we will prevail for there is much more than might on our side.

X Thought for Today
It's War, Gentlemen

If anyone has been consoling himself with the thought that the war with Japan was going to be confined to corner of the Pacific Ocean with perhaps an occasional scare along our west coast he must be sadly disillusioned by this time. Germany and Italy for the first time since their outbreaks in Europe have made @ formal declaration of war on the United States. Their custom has been to invade and by this hostile action let 1t be known that they are at war with somebody. Unfortunately for them they couldn't do thls in our case.
 Where they will strike first and In what form we don't know, but strike they will. It may be that New England will lie in the path of some wild scheme of iil- vasion or 1t may be that from within there will come an assault designed to disrupt ordinary modes of life and morale. Or South and Central Americas may be the stepping stones for NaZi invaders. There are many stories about their preparations for just such an emergency as this. But no matter where or how, let's be prepared; let's be aroused to stamp out the ffth columniSt in our midst, to repel the invader.
 Japan moved stealthily and treacher- ously to attack our outpoStS in the Pacific and we expected just such an attack from the European Axis powers once they were convinced the time was at hand to knife us. The time seems to be at hand, but evidently they haven't had the op. portunity to perpetrate the same kind Of attack. There Is 6 feeling we weren't ready in the Pacific when the Japs made their assaults on Hawaii and the Philip pines There Is no reason why New Eng. land or any other section of the continent! should not be ready for Germany and Italy.
 We are in a war now = one about which we nave been reading with considerable awe. The fate that was Europe's could well be ours, but God grant that 1t won't be and that our efforts may be directed towards overcoming forces that have but one objective - conquest.

More Workers - Less Alliance

Another of the signs of the times is the dissolution of the Workers Alliance.

David LasSer, It's leader in the time of its greatest strength, resigned from It's leadership on that ground.
 Though there are estimated to be still some million unemployed in the country, Richard N. McKibben, national president, in dIssolving the organization indicated need for 1t had passed. We hope and be- lieve he is right, but the thought is ire.

The eleventh edition.

Unemployment Paradox

Despite mounting employment, de- spite labor shortage in certain skilled fields, despite the prediction that labor shortage may become general by next spring, there is still Unemployment. It is estimated today at around five mil lion. And tke relief problem, while less pressing, is still with most communities. Why?
 Possibly because, for one thing, we have been allowing the word unemploy- ment itself to deceive us. What is req sonable meaning for the word "unem- ployed"? It ought to mean person who needs job, is able to do it, and hasn't got 1t. On that basis we may have 0een fooling ourselves all along. Let's jee. The peak of unemployment in the J. s. came in 1888.

Dealers are not protected by ths new law.

 It would be more than glirprising if the administrator should increase the price by one cent to the pfoduc. CTS, that the distributors would ob. sorb that added cost.
