Hirsute Problems

I'VE have with us today as the radio in
reviewers say, Rep. Fred L. Crawford of
Michigan who is sponsoing a new barber and
beauty-shop price ceiling proposal. It is not
apparent that Mr.. Crawford is heavily thatch-
ed of without ceiling, but it is his idea that
bald men or those with little hair on their
dones should not be charged as much for a
haircut as men with magnificent hirsute dis.
plays Nor do we know how his wife, if he is
married fares when she visits the beautcians,
but he cites the case of Wac chauffer who
confessed to him that she paid sis for her last
permanent, out of the $3.50 monthly pay
check
These are matters that need attention, in
Mr.. Crawford's humble opinion, and he fur
Their believes the way to give them the best
attention is to say to BARRIERS and permanent
teers, This much, and no more, may be
charged for your services He cites Bureau
OF Labor Statistics to show that mems hair
cuts are 49 per cent higher than in the period
OF 1859; women's haircuts up so per cent,
wave sets up 90 per cent and permanents up
145 per cent over the same period
Now, the BARRIERS and cosmetologists NAV
claim with some justice that they no less than
anyone else, are victims Of the rising price
Of living and cannot continue in business or
feed their families on the low scale Of prices
prevailing from 1885 to 1899 They overlook
the fact that their persistent and frequent in.
creases in the price OF their services has con.
trlouted to the higher costs of living.

ent lines"
Mr.. Lamott lived and taught in
Japan for couple OF decades. He
writes well and thinks. logically
and the combination of these
things has produced what seems
an impossibility, which is still an
other book on Japan that really
offers something new. Whe1he~ the
offering is practical I have no
idea.
It is his thesis that Japan left
her isolation for a share in world
that at the time was suffering
through the worst evils of western
Imperialism. This fact became
dangerous because the models
Japan found were in an odd way
the kind she was temperamentally
inclined to follow; her attempt to
fit herself to the wrong western
pattern, combined with her for
mer isolationism and her inability
to westernize the whole country

IN MEMORIAL

May the 30th is the day officially
set apart for the collective COM
memorial ton OF our soldier dead.
The American Legion as a part
Of the nation, will pay homage on
this day and give thanks for the
bravery which surges through the
entire being of our COLDER sons.
So confident are we of their 10y
atty to duty that we accept as a
foregone conclusion that the enc.
mics will be defeated. So conf
dent that we pattern our daily life
on the assumption that the soldier
will die that our country may live.
What is this country that must
live?
That we may strike when it suits
us? That we may do little black
marketing if it suits ue? That the
politicians may make an issue out
of the soldier vote when he is fac.
ing D day? That the pacifist may
cry that we accept the enemy with
open arms?
Privileges which flow to this De-
mocracy because we have May
3Oth.
Next year this time the inva on
will have taken place. Let us do
those things which will make it
possible for us to look honestly into
the faces of those who will have
received the Red Star message and

With Ernie Pyle

For example, the other day an
officer got up and said the time
had come for us to make our
powers of attorney and prepare
our wills, if, We hadn't lone so
already. Everybody in the room
laughed-you know, one of those
cackly, mirthless laugnes OF man
who is little sick at his stomach
And then the officer was ex-
planning that we could take with
us only what we could carry on
our backs, and the rest of our
stuff would be turned over to the
Army and would probably catch
up with us couple of weeks after
we reached the other side.
Whereupon one correspondent,
newly arrived in these parts,
asked:
Should we carry our steel he'll
NETS and gas masks or put them
in the luggage to be forwarded
later?"
The poor fellow was almost
laughed out OF the room. Does one
send for the fire department two
weeks after the house has burned
down?
You just can't break down Eng
lish traditions. For example, I reg
istered at hotel ae Ernie Pyle
and then on another line gave my
full three names, as the law re-
quires.
And do you know how my hotel
bill comes? 1t comes weekly in a
sealed envelope on which is typed,

In a couple of weeks if I'm
good boy I hope to have The
Honorable put in front of my
name.

LONDON, May 29-(By wireless)
The top commanders who have
toiled and shaved for months plan
ming the second front have been
under a man-killing strain of work
and responsibility.
Thousands of men of high rank
have labored endlessly. They are
up early, they work all day. and
after supper they go back to work
far into the night. Seldom can you
get one of them to take a day off.
Among the greatly conscientious
ones in this category is 1t. Gen.
Omar Bradley, who will lead all
the american troops in the second
front.
The other day I ran into Sgt.
Alex Stout, from Louisiana, who
has been General BradIey's driver
for several years. The general IS
very fond of Alex, and in turn
Alex is not afraid to look at his
king or to plot in his behalf
Alex keeps saying: General,
you're working too hard. If you
won't take day off, why don t
you get in the car and We'll just
drive around the country for a
couple of hours?"
He was persistent. One day he
put it to his boss again and tie
general said, well, as soon as he
filled two more appointments ne
would go out for a half-hour ride.
So Alex got him in he car and
headed for the country.
I'VE drove for two hours" Alex
says. Il told him l was lost and
couldn't find my way back to town.
But I knew where l was all the
time, all right"
The Hippo Manufacturing Co., of
Bradford, Pa, makes Hippo ciga-
ret lighters. In peacevime they
are nickel-plated and shiney In
wartime they are black, with a
rough finish.
Zippos are not available at all to
civilians. In Army P.X.'s all
around the world, where batch
comes in occasionally, there are
long waiting lists.
Well, some months ago / had
letter from the president of the
Hippo Company. 1t seems he ie de-
voted to this column. 1t seems fur
ther that he'd has an idea. He had.
sent to our headquarters in Wash
ington to get my signature. and
then he was having the signature
engraved on special nickle-plat-
ed lighter and he is going to cend
it to me as gift.
Pretty soon there was another
letter. The president of the Hippo
Company had had another brain
storm. In addition to my super
heterodyne lighter he was going
to send so of the regular ones for
me to give to friends.
l was amused at the modesty of
the presidents letter. He said,

only kind that will light at ex-
IRENE attitudes. Why, they're so
popular I've had three of them
stolen from me in the past year.
Well, at last the lighters have
come, forwarded all the way from
Italy. My own lighter is a beauty,
with my name on one side and
little American flag on the other.
I'm smoking twice as much az
usual Just because I enjoy lighting
the thing.
The 50 others are going like hot
cakes. I find myself equipped with
a wonderful weapon for winning
