Predicts Baldness For Women
Hair Specialist Says Short Hair Craze Is Destroying Woman’s Crowning Glory and
Is Robbing Her of Sex Appeal
BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS
NEW YORK.— Project yourself
five or ten years into the future
before you bob your hair, advises
Charles Nestle, vice president of
the Wholesale Beauty Trade As
sociation.
"Consider,” he urges, "whether
you prefer to have your hair on
your head or on your face and dis
tributed over your body.
"In every human being is a
chemical laboratory that is con
stantly producing hair,” he ex
plains. "If it is not permitted to
grow on the head it will grow else
where. Cutting distributes the
growth.
"If the fad for short hair con
tinues. baldness will be as common
with women as with men in the
next generation and so will hairy
arms and chests.
DON’T BRUSH HAIR
ANY MORE
Nestle is one of the leading hair
specialists of the world. Bobbed
hair has increased his business as
well as that of practically ever
other hair dressing establishment
in the country. So he is quite re
signed, from a matter of business,
to let the shearing go on. But he
believes women ought to realize
what they may be bringing upon
themselves and their children.
“The reason women have less
hair on their bodies than men is
because for years they have con
centrated so much energy on their
'•heads and have encouraged the
growth to settle there," he goes on.
"By brushing and caring for
their hair as they used to in the
days when hair was their crowning
glory women stimulated the scalp
and kept it in a conditon conducive
to the growth of hair.
"Today the bobbed woman rare
ly brushes her hair. She isn’t
going to press out the wave she
paid money to have pressed in. So
she runs a comb through it a few
times just as a man does, and
that's that.
BOBBED HAIR
DESTROYS ILLUSIONS
“Then in order to keep it looking
well without real care, she washes
it once a week and eventually has
so robbed it of its natural oil it is
no longer able to grow naturally.
The ends split and the hair falls.
"It is true women are spending
more time and money at the hair
dresser's than ever before, getting
shampoos, waves and trims, but
their hair is actually receiving less
care than ever before.”
He maintains that six months
after a woman has cut her hair
she can notice an added growth
upon her arms, particularly if she
exercises so that she frequently
brings the blood to the surface.
His greatest objection to short
hair, however, is his belief that it
robs a woman of her sex appeal.
“Women are interesting to men
in proportion to their ability to
suggest, romance and glamour,” he
concluded. "When she cuts her
hair a woman destroys one more
illusion —and there are so few as
it is.”

BEFORE BABIES
WERE BORN
Mrs. Oswald Benefited by
Tetking Lydia £. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound
Girardville, Pa.—“l took Lydia E.
Pinkham’3 Vegetable Compound bc-
fore my last two '
babies came. It
keeps me in per- \
feet health and I ]
am on my feet
setting meals and
oing all my
housework until
an hour before the
baby is born. A
friend told me to
take it and I have
used ten bottles
since I heard about
it I recommend the Vegetable Com

« friend was telling me how miser
able she felt, and I said, * If you start
taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s you will
Seel fine.’ Now she is taking it.”—

Mrs. Nicola Paluzzi Says
Mishawaka, Indiana. “I took
Lydia E. Pinkham’3 Vegetable Com
pound for weakness before my babies
were born. I was weak and tired
out all the time and it helped me.
When I had inward inflammation the
doctor treated me, but did not help
me, so I tried Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Sanative Wash and it helped me at
once.” Mrs. Nicola Paluzzi, 416

sible for that train to leave Macon

EUGENE SNIDER TO
FACE MURDER TRIAL
EARLY IN OCTOBER
Has Admitted He Killed
Hattie Wimberly, But De
clares Shooting Was Ac
cidental, According to
Sheriff
GIBSON, Ga. Eugene Snider,
charged with the killing of Hattie
Wimberly, will bn tried at the Oc
tober term of court In Warren
County, convening on the flrst
Monday, according to Sheriff .T. .1.
Killibrew, of Glascock County, In j
a statement issued Snturdny morn
ing. Snider has not asked for a]
preliminary trial nor has he made|
application for bond the sheriff
sovs.
Snider, according to Sheriff Killi
brew, lias confessed that he killed
Hattie Wimberly, but denies that
he murdered her, claiming the shot
was accidentally fired.
"I shot Hattie Wimberly, but I
swear it was an accident." Snider
is said to have shouted. He said
further, according io the Glascock
sheriff, "The shot that killed Hattie
Wimberly was fired accidentally
and, under excitement, realizing
that she was dead, I tried to hide
her body. I did not mean to shoot
her.”
The sheriff says Snider con
tinued: ”1 am 34 years old nnd up
until six months ago enjoyed a good
reputation. 1 went astray nnd
have sinned and I beg to people to
forgive me. I am not guilty ol
murder. Hattie Wimberly was not
murdered by me or anyone else.
It was nn accidental shot that kill
ed her and there are witnesses to
prove this. My flrst desire was lo
inform the officials of the truth,
but was kept from doing this by
occupants of the home, where the
accident occurred, so the body had
lo be removed. I started toward
Mitchell with the body, because the
girl had no relatives In this pari
of the country to take the body to.
It was on Sunday morning nnd
while on the rnnd with her I de
cided to bury her in the river an 1
thereby destroy all traee of tlio
thing. I suppose I was out of my
head—this was a most foolish
thing to do.”
Hattie Wimberly, according to
news reports at the time, was ap
parently brutally murdered, heavily
weighted with Iron ami chained
and thrown In the Ogeechee River,
where she was found by a farmer
of they Mitchell section. Following
an exhaustive Investigation by offi
cers of Glascock, Qreene and War
ren counties, Snider and a number
of others were arrested and Snider
formally charged with the crime.
The confession reported by
Sheriff Klllibrow Is the first state
ment Snider has made having any
bearing on the case.

pretty scene at the Betsy Ross Tea
Room Monday night when Robert
Nangle, latp*of Company C, 118th.
Infantry, A. E. F., brought his

Shortly before they were to go

S. 0, Prohi Officers
Fail to See The Joke
When They Are Victims
EDGEFIELD, S. C.—Prohibition
Officer J. p. Hart, who makes
Edge-field his headquarters, has had
many thrilling and unique expe
riences during his several years of
faithful service, but last Thursday
a keen witted bootlegger and dis
tiller “put one over” on him that
will not soon be forgotten.
Having received Information that
distillers were operating on Bos
tick's island in Savannah river, off
Hampton county, this state, Mr.
Hart J. VV. Sanders and two rural
policemen from Georgia prepared
to make a. raid Thursday. A young
man who owned a boat offered to
take the merf over to the island
from the Georgia bank and point
out where a large still could be
located. The officers accepted the
offer. On reaching the Island, they
left the boat and went to locate
their "game," following the instruc
tions given by their informant.
The river was high and water
covered much of the island, making
a thorough search impossible. But
their suspicion was aroused when
no still was found at the spot to
which the boatman had directed
them. Upon returning to where the
landing had been made, they found
that thoir supposed loyal co-worker
had returned to the Georgia bank
with the boat and left it there with
in full view. It was then that, it
dawned upon the officers that they
hart been tricked and were now
marooned upon an island surround
ed by a swollen stream. The men
Hpent 28 hours on Bostick’s island
without food and with nothing to
quench their thirst except, the mud
dy river water. Their discomfiture
was accentuated by r*-squitoes
that attacked them day and night.
Mr. Hart’s hands and wrists show
ed numberless punctures by these
pesky little creatures.
Driven to desperation. Mr. Hart
stripped off his clothes and swam
across the river, partly against the
current, so as not to he driven down
stream, to the Georgia bank, took
possession of the boat and rowed
back for hfa companions. Mr. Hart
says that here after when he Is
transported by boat to a lone island
some dependable person will ho left
In charge of the craft so as to In
sure a return to the mainland.
