UN ALONE SHE RESPONSIBLE FOR BEAUTY SHOPS Cause Convertion of Barber Emporium to Effeminate Cosmetic Dispensary. MEETING PROVES THEORY Tonsorial Artists Display New Materials Used to Care for Vanity of Males. By RODNEY DUTCHER United News Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Oct. 11.—When historians of the future record the elimination of all distinction between the barber shop and the beauty parlor, they may absolve from blame society girls and women who are patronizing the shops. The girls are so absolved in the big exhibit of the barber supply manufacturers’ convention here, and it is admitted that mere man, tempted to new excesses by beautiful, patent-leather-haired matinee heroes and egged on by half a million barbers anxious to sell the latest varieties of male cosmetics and beautifying processes. will be alone responsible. Perfume, brilliantine, scented soap, eyebrow tweezers, manicure sets and pocket sprays—these take up nearly all the tioor space, and each of them is advertised as something the well "roomed man simply cannot get along bout. Smell Overcoming The smell of cosmetics is so strong that one can almost see it. A big prize might be safely offered for any one who can find a good oKfashioned bottle of tar soap or a razor not engraved with pretty flowers, raspberries or the like. True, over in one corner, a man has had the courage to bring in an exhibit of safety razors, but he is getting in a lot of sleep, for this show is for barbers, aud not their patrons. “What's become of the oldfashioned gent who would clout any barber who tried to spray him with sweet essence of violets from an atomizer?" One salesman for a large supply house was asked. “Oh. that fellow—,” replied the salesman in kind, “He's on a fast train to New York to see his favorite perfumer, who has just wired that lie has some of that adorable Oriental scent, and hurry up or it will be all gone—the boys love It so.” John F. Carney of Colgate and Company, admitted that “It’s terrible from one standpoint.” “But we don’t mind.” Carney said, "The men Insist on scented soap and the best perfumes and toilet waters. And the man in the next booth says the way tweezer sales have gone up is wonderful. “The boys all have their eyebrows plucked regularly and then they buy creamy too. you see, so it won’t hurt.” Preparations that not only make the hair shine but stay put are selling like catfish. It was learned. At first this stuff only went big In the rural districts where cowboys and farmer boys welcomed them in place of mutton tallow, but all the city boks insist on It now, at 25 cents per dose. Barber chairs with magazine stands and tiny powder bowls with oh, just the cutest little pink powder I uffs. are also offered for sale to the visiting barber shop proprietor. There's also anew shampoo machine with four artificial fingers which feel like the real thing, and an air brush to apply the lather for shaves. A girl reporter, after a trip through the hall, turned up her nose on the way out as she saw one exhibitor draw a cautious finger over the glittering blade of a pearl-handed razor. \ “You can do it better with gas,” she yelled.
Leper Spurns Medical Treatment and Looks to Prayer for Cure of Disease
By \EA Service ALBERTON, Mont., Oct. 11. —Can the power of prayer overcome dread leprosy? Is enduring faith as potent a remedy now as in the days when the Savior healed the lepers? O. G. Willet, former State Senator, and for five years a leper, insists these are possible. And although he has repeatedly been offered the famous Chalmoogra oil treatment, effective in many cases, he steadfastly refuses It. Even with State health officers saying there is every evidence of the dread disease progressing. Willet clings to his faith. All of Montana is watching with interest the outcome of his determination that divine power, not medicine, will cleanse his body of leprosy. Was Prominent Willet, a Spanish War veteran, contracted the malady in the Philippines. did not know this, however, until in 1917. after he had taken a prominent part in the Montana Legislature session, and was rapidly rising in State affairs. The stricken man elected to retire to an isolated ratim on the Missouri River near here. His bride of eight months refused to leave him and she shares his lonely life. The State board of health and U. S Public Health Service offered the ' Chalmoogra oil treatment. A divine healer, learning of Willett's keen study of the Bible and his firm faith in prayer, visited him about the same time and promised a cure. “I would rather a thousand times fid a leper's grave than submit myself to a physician’s care,” was Willett’s declaration. “I would as soon bow my neck to Baal as to submit to the god of medicine.” Refuses Cure Out in their lonely home Willett and his wife have carried on their prayers for divine assistance. Frequently representatives of the State board of health visit them to renew the offer of Chalmoogra oil. Each time the offer is refused. Tfcday, say these physicians. Willett is growing worse. But his faith in di-

Beautiful Italian Successfully ‘Divines' Presence of Water and Petroleum Wells. ROME, Oct. 11—Augusta Del Pio Luogo, a beautiful young girl of Venice, is looking forward to a period of profitable and pleasant employment. Italy is particularly Interested Just now In two things, ttie location of petroleum, for all the world wants oil. and the finding of water, for the drought of the past two summers is ' said to be but the beginning of a long dry spell. To Augusta Del Pio Luogo is ascribed the ability to locate, within the earth, both oil and water, and her successes have been so remarkable her services are being sought by oil j and irrigation companies. Practiced as Child Augusta first noticed her ability when a child. When walking in the country she would notice little shocks passing from her feet to her head, causing her distinct pain. In 1909 she met a famous water diviner, Chiabrera, and found that his divining rod acted as well for her as it did for him. , A year later she went to Argentina i and, making use of her powers, indicated a number of places where water would be found, sometimes at a depth of 600 feet. In each case water was found, but In some instances it turned out to be salt.

Occult Sways Feminine Heart; Los Angeles Medium Arrested
Mrs. Lillian Hildreth, 16-year-old bride whose charges caused arrest of Harry Y, Cohen (right) and (Inset) “The Crystal Eye" said to have figured in Cohen’s occult rites.
By JACK JUNGMEYER XFA Staff Correspondent. LOS ANGELES. Oct. 11.—What makes the feminine heart and mind so susceptible to the sway of the selfproclaimed mystic? A women, patrons of Harry Y. Cohen, professionally known as the “Rev.” Charles Newman, al lreed love cult medium, are today asking themselves this question as he faces grave charges. Following his arrest on charges of improper conduct toward Mrs. Lillian Hildreth, 16-year-old bride client. In his sanctum, the thousand women discovered their names entered in Cohen's cryptically annotated register. Book Count Evidence This book, said by authorities to hint at intimate domestic secrets, and bearing on the accused medium’s practices, is now court evidence. Its entries run the social scale of Los Angeles and surrounding towns. The disillusioned clientele await Its possible use after Cohen's arraignment. “Women generally believe that there are certajn life and love mysteries which they cannot of themselves fathom.” says "The Man Who- Knows All,” as Cohen styles himself. “They believe that some wiser son of Adam or daughter of Eve knows the key to these puzzling things. That love can be won and retained by some hocus-pocus. That something outside themselves weaves their fate. That's the secret of the mystic's influence and success.” Denies Guilt The accused “spiritualist pastor" vehemently denies guilt of the charges made by Mrs. Hildreth, who says she was subjected to Indignities while consulting Cohen. Ho ascribes his predicament to "professional jealousy of other mediums.” Short, dark, pudgy, living in a palatial residence and maintaining an elaborate office fitted with objects usually identified with mysticism. Cohen says he has practiced successfully in many cities, naming New York, Chicago and Lincoln, Neb. About his "business” as he characterized it, he was quite frank.

| "There's usually something wrong } with a woman’s love life when she ! begins visiting mediums,” he con tlnued. “They go to soers to confirm | or refute their own suspicions. "Practically all women patrons ask me, ’ls my husband true to me?’ “Do you suppose I or any other wise medium answers ’No?’ That would j never do. I immediately propound the counter question. ’Are you true to him?’ IVhen they almost shriek, ’Yes,’ then I reply, ’Wei!, he’s true to you, too. Y'ou’re a couple of fools. Go home and be happy.’ “My system is to out guess them and evade their questions—a battle of wits and perfectly legitimate.” Newman, or Cohen, is said to have grown wealthy from a few months' practice in Los Angeles.
