LONDON WOMEN IN BOYCOTT ON BEAUTY PARLOR Exasperated At Autocratic Demeanor And High Prices Charged Dy Ethel Marshall, INS Staff Correspondent London. —Exasperated at the siuto (•ratio demeanor and high prices of the average fashionable London hair ' dresser, many society wchnen have started what wil probably result in a price-cutting war by patronizing the less fashionable salons in the West End and suburbs. Suburban hairdressers are finding among their clientele women who. until recently, would not have been seen in any salon but a West End one In effect, the woman of comfortable means has found that not only do the smaller shops charge about a quarter the price of their West End fellows, but the work is often done better. Do Better Work The women claim that the less fashionable salons make their work more lasting. The West End hairdresser, with his expensive premises and crowd of assistants to maintain and pay, cuts his clients’ hair in such away that they arc bound to return in a week or less for another “trim.” whereas the smaller class tonsorial artist is always willing to fall in with ■ "Modom’s” wishes. It is claimed that a shingle can lie obtained in the suburbs for 75 cents against the $3 charged by the West End salons. Again, one society wom- . an claims to have obtained a shingle, trim and marcel wave, with a cup of tea thrown in, for $1.25 in a suburban salon. The same would have cost her $5 to $6 if she had gone to any fashionable hairdresser. The West End price “ramp” is also having the effect of making more and more women of the better classes adopt the “home” treatment for their hair. With the placing of all kinds of electrical hair drying apparatus on the market, women are finding that it is easy for them to shampoo and dry their own hair at home. They also cut it themselves and then go to the hairdresser for a “trim.” Object To Tipping One fashionable woman thus summed up the reason why more and more women are ostracising the fashionable hairdresser. “It isn’t that we mind the actual , charges of the West End so much / it is the tipping system. There are re- , lays of attendants with palms out- , stretched wherever you go. “One relieves you of hat and coat and hands you over to the cutter, who , in turn hands you over to the shampooer, who hands you on to the drier | and then to the hair-setter, while ] there is always one who just stands , by and holds the accessories.” Several of the quasl-fashionable and I semi-fashionable hairdressers have • already slightly reduced their prices in an effort to regain some of their t old customers. 1 o '

12-YEAR-OLD SINGER WITH TREBLE VOICE WINS FAME IN LONDON Ry International News Service London.—The remarkable instance of a twelve-year-old boy singer having a greater phonograph sale than the most famous singers in England has come to light here. Barely a year ago the famous Temple church choir, with 12-year-old Ernest A. Lough as soloist, made a record of two selections of choral music. Nearly two-thirds of the record was devoted to Lough's rendering of the solo passages, and his remarkable pure treble voice instantly attracted attention. The safe of the record since then has reached amazing proportions, and many dealers have long waiting lists. Musicians have declared Lough s voice to be a perfect treble and it has proved a veritable golden voice for the gramophone company recording the selections. By his phonograph recording Lough has attracted thousands to hear him on Sundays at the Temple church, and the authorities there have found it necessary to restrict the number of visitors by the issuance of tickets. According to the company prodm ing the record, the sale has eclipsed the figures of all the "hits" of any season, and easily passes the sale of records made by well-known English . singers. —o " ALL OVER INDIANA (By United Press) DEMOTTE—Citizens ami business men here are giving aid to farm families whose homes and lands tat' been damaged by the recnt high wa crs of the Kankakee river in this section of Jasper county.

J 0,000 MINORS N.Y. CRIMINALS REPORT STATES Juvenile Criminals Responsible For 44 Per Cent Os All Crime By International News Service Albany, N. Y. —In a report which roads as wierdly in contrast tn all the nut ward appearances of material prosperity of the United States as the tales of the "wild children of Moscow," John S. Kennedy, a member of the New York Commission of Correction, asserts there Ih an army of more than 10,909 boy criminals under 21 years'of age operating in New York state at the present time. These juvenile criminals are responsible for 44 jer cent of all the ( rime committed in the state, Kennedy asserted. To Arouse Sentiment Kennedy said that his purpose in n porting on this "astounding number" of criminal youths was “to qroitse public sentiment to the need 1 for measures which will turn away from the tide of crime so many future citizens of the state.” Os the huge total, 5,971 passed dur-1 ing the year ending June 30, 1927, through the penal institutions in New York City; the city prisons of Manhattan. Brooklyn and Queens and the county jails of Richmond and the Bronx. Brooklyn had the largest number with 3.091, while Manhattan was second with 984. During the same time county jails ‘ of the state received 34 boys under sixteen. 4,835 between 16 and 21, and 1.310 of 21 years. In addition to these, Hie report continues, 227 boys between 16 and 20 were committed to state prisons, aud there were 100 . more 21 years of age. Earnest Efforts Between these ages 507 were sent I to the New York state reformatory, aud 559 between 16 and 21. and 186 , of 21 years were committed to other penal institutions. Commissioner Kennedy declared that while in New York City earnest ■ efforts are being made through the formation of boys' chilis and similar organizations to training, entertain- I inent and opportunities for relaxation so that boys’ minds may be diverted I ' along the paths of rectitude and good citizenship, “they are all too few in number and territory covered, and i this startling array of figures should result in an aroused public sentiment and a tremendous widening and extension of these activities." o ! COUNTESS KAROLYI HAS ANTIQUE SHOP ■ Paris — (UP) —Countess Michael • Karolyi, wife of the first president of i the Hungarian Republic, is running i an antique shop in Paris. The count- : ess is the daughter of Count Andrussy, who was foreign minister during the - war, and her husband is, or was, one • of the wealthiest men in the Balkans. Count Karolyi was a friend of the , aßles but nevertheless he was barred i from the United States some years ago on suspicion that he was a Com- ! munist. Countess Karolyi also was accused I of helping recruiting for the Red Army of Soviet Russia and for that reason was exiled from her native land. After the Bela Kun revolution her husband’s resources vanished and the Countess was obliged to go to work. “I began selling old English furniture for a dealer,” she told the United Press, "and I obtained high prices from American visitors. Then I learned that old French furniture is also sought after so I began traveling in the provinces to find bargains. I am doing well in that line and I ini tend now to take up the sale of old ' books and engravings and perhaps lace embroideries. I am going to open a hall where lectures on ancient and modern art will be given by experts. 1 like this life because it permits me to follow my natural bent and at the same time gives me recre- , ation." o Chinese Adds To Washington Tales Shanghai—(UP)—George Washington was as much a hero in trans-At-lantic adventure as is Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, in the opinion of a young Chinese who answered questions put to him by a local American business man. Washington, said the Chinese, crossed the Atlantic ocean in a rowboat, that he might attack Germany. This feat, he said, was accomplished in the dead of the winter, when the ocean was full of ice. One of the Chinese youth's fellow students said Babe Ruth was a popular actress; another knew Judge Kenesaw M. Landis as an umpire. Another said William Jennings Bryan was a poet. Chicago, to another young Chinese was the last stronghold of the Wild West, while Senator Robert La Follette was said to boa French patriot who helped the Thirteen Colonies win the revolution. o Get the Habit—Trade at Home, it Pays

U.S. GRAIN CROPS EXCEPT OATS, LARGE Ry J. Pill I Weber i'P Stuff Correspondent Chicago. ~ (I'P) —a miracle nf weather saved the corn farmers nf the country millions of dollars during the past year and brought prosperity to the west. All grain crops with tin- i exception of oats were large and prices in all but corn moved In a narrow range, making fur a stable mar ket for the farmers. While the farmers gained, the mar- - ket operators were not entirely pleascd witli tlie performances in 1927.1 Features were lacking as prices in all Inn corn swung through a narrow arc. Government regulation played Its part in reducing manipulation and this factor brought a reduction in volume of business. Irregularity in corn was the one feature. Heavy selling of the cereal during the early months of the year caused a declining market which continued into April. May found the market oversold and an upturn started which did not end until August. Weather conditions, which prevented early planting and caused a gloomy outlook for the corn crop, reversed I themselves in the fall and exceptionally hot weather brought out a bump--ler crop. Prices fell in proportion to i the volume of the crop, hut the fanners profited nevertheless Coni prices for the December delivery ranged from Ml% cents a I bushel to $1.20% with a drop from the high point nearly to the low of last spring. May 1928 corn ranged I from 87 >4 c to $1.06%. December wheat ranged between $1.21% to $1.50% while the May 1928 delivery since it has been on the board had only an 11 cent range, showing the narrow character of the irading. Another season of big production in winter wheat is indicated by the seeding of a much larger acreage of winter wheat, private estimates of the increase running from 6 to nearly 10 per cent. The end of the year find the general situation in regard To the handling of cash grain satisfactory but with much to be desired in the speculative trade. Q HAWAIIAN CHIEFS PLAN 12 AIRPORTS Honolulu. T.

A portion of the fair grounds nt Waikiki will be used as an airfield having a central location. Also near Honolulu is the John Rodgers memorial airport which is still under construction. Outside of Honolulu will be airports on the islands of Kauai, Maul, Hawaii and Molokai Army authorities already have indicated that certain fields established in the territory by military aviation officials may be made available for ' commercial fliers.
