ON THE SIDE
Girls With Soft Hair
Are Hard to Find

to stay bouffant was to make
1t stiff. Then, when the girls
discovered that lacquer would
seal their hair in any posi-
ton, they started expert
menting with other styles.
Some piled their hair high,
some twisted 1t into shapes
suggestive of a sort Of cor
nucopia, some tried even
more radical designs.
After the weird shapes had
run their course and more
and more women returned to
more natural hairdos, many
Of them continued to use the
sprays. This wasn't Just from
force of habit, one told me.
1.-THE stuff really holds the
hair in place." she said. "You
couldn't muss 1t up II you
tried" Remembering that
steel-wool sensation, / re-
Trained from trying.
In my informal survey, I
found only one man who
doesn't consider the stuff
completely Objectionable.
Don't tell my wife," he said,
but ! sneak a little now and
then for my mustache. It's
much better than wax. Feel"
He took my hand and placed
q fingertip against one Of
the points. Sharp, isn't it2"
Like Nuclear StandOff
It was so sharp, in fact,
that I half expected It to
draw blood. Doesn't your
wife object to being kissed
by a man with such q deadly
weapon on his lip2" I asked.
ITS q stalemate," he an
swered with q shrug. Like
the nuclear standoff between
the United States and the
Soviet Union. She objects to

the points: she doesn't like

her I'd shave 1t off II she'd
stop shellacking her hair. She
said she'd quit the shelIac If
I'd stop smoking cigars. I
said I'd quit the cigars If
she'd get up and fix break
fast in the mornings. She
said she'd fix breakfast If I'd
do the dinner dishes. / said
but what's the use? You can't
ever win with q woman"
At a dance the other night,
] noticed q woman whose
hair had that old-fashioned
soft look. Her head rested
against her partners cheek
as they danced, and ] could
tell by his contented express
sion that her hair was as
silky as it looked.
Later, we were introduced
and I said: 81 was admiring
your hair. It's refreshing to
see a woman who doesn't use
all that gluck on her hair.
I congratulate you = and"
turning to her husband, you,
too, sir"
THANK you" she said. He
merely grinned.
After they had moved
away, my wife remarked:
you must be blind. That
silky hair you raved over was
a vigil" After a moment, she
added: "And besides, I still
have soft hair. Why should
you care what other women
do to their hair2"
It was a good question.
And the answer, come to
think Of 1t, is that I don't.

ON THE SIDE
By PHILIP H. LOVE

Whatever became Of the
girl with soft hair--the silken
tresses a fellow would like to
run his fingers through?
The question struck me the
other day when, quite mad
vertently, my hand brushed
the top of a young woman,s
head as we stopped simulta-
neously for a handkerchief
she'd dropped. Her hair felt
like steel wool.
When I recoiled and looked
at my fingers to see what
damage had been done, she
said: II know, ! know--my
husband complains about 1t
all the time. But It's the
STYLE"
Style or no style, I'll wager
that every other red-blooded
American man, married or
single, feels as that girls
husband and ! do: A wom-
ans hair should be, as poet
Charles Graham Halpine put
it, finer than silk Of the
floss"
Informal Survey
To prove the point, ! made
an informal survey among a
representative group Of men
ranging in age from % to rs.
II like to ride around in
my convertible with the top
down." said the youngest. II
like a girl whose hair blows
with the wind. It would take
a hurricane to tousle most
girls hair nowadays"
The oldest proved some
what crotchety. What do
they put on their hair, any,
way?" he demanded. Com
crete2 Women are hardhead-
ed enough without making
their hair the same way"
What they put on their
hair, I gather from the TV
commercials, is some sort Of
lacquer which Is spraye d
from aerosol cans. Lacquer
also is used to paint automo-
biles. And you can buy 1t in
cans for touch-up purposes.
A fellow who likes to quote
poetry (you ought to hear
his rendition of "The Shoot
ing of Dan McGrew") waxed
almost as indignant as the
oldster:a Can you imagine
Stephen Foster dreaming of
Jeanne with the light brown
hair If It had been too stiff
to be borne like a vapor on
the summer air? Why, even
the farmers daughter no
longer hath soft brown hair
It's as stiff as q toothbrush
and about as pretty"
Scratched His Neck
'"The other night" another
chap reported, my girl
friend leaned her head on
my shoulder and it scratched
my neck. When I complained.
she said it was no worse
than my whiskers. But men
can't help their whiskers,
and besides, every girl knows
they're scratchy. A man
doesn't expect a woman's
head to feel like a brial
patch"

BY LYLE DENNISTON
Star Business Writer

Communications Satellite Corp.
has formally invited industry
to offer ideas on a design for a
broadcast satellite.
At the same time, the corpo-
ration confirmed reports that II
would try to start actual send
ing of voice and television pic
lures by an experimental Satel-
lite sometime in 1865. That
would be a year ahead of the
earliest beginning Of a full-scale
commercial satellite system.
The designs that industry has
just been asked to offer would
be for the later system, not the
experimental one.
AS expected, designers were
given a choice Of drawing either
a satellite that would stay in
one place in space, or one that
would relay messages as it 70
tated around the world.
The corporation gave design
ers until February 10 to sub
NIT ideas. After that, one OF
more companies would get g
Six-month contract for a final
design.
Thus, the choice Of the type Of
satellite-stationary of revolv-
ing-could be made before the
end of 1854. With a design
ready, the corporation said, ii
may then 60 ahead and hire a
company to produce and try out
test models.

charge could be increased to as
much as Ia per cent.
The present exchange levy on
odd-lot purchases and sales
comes to an eighth of a cent
per share. The exchange pro-
poses to raise that to three
Sixteenths Of a cent a share.
To become effective, the plan
must be approved by a majority
of the 1886 exchange members.
The exchange constitution
would have to be amended,
since it does not provide for
special assessments.
The Haupt firm recently ran
into financial difficulties when il
was unable to meet the stock
exchanges requirements for
capital. The exchange then
made available up to $12 million
to liquidate Haupt and protect
the company's customers.

Communications Corp.
Seeks Satellite Design

The corporation stressed that
the satellite would have to be
simple and reliable, and would
have to be able to continue op-
Grating for at least three years.
If the stationary satellite is
chosen, the corporation said,
there probably will be six satel-
lites doing all the work. If a re-
volving design is picked, there
could be either IL or 10, depend
ing upon how they are arranged
in space
Designers were told the re-
volving system would have to
be ready for launching in 1856,
and achieve world coverage by
1867. First launching of a sta
tiOnary system would have to
come in 1867, with global cover
age achieved by 1868.
