Don’t Be Annoyed if Your Beautician Makes Mistakes Today—She Probably Is Concerned With Her State Rating

Took Examinations Yesterday in Statehouse for Indiana License. If your favorite beauty operator seems a bit preoccupied today, as she sets the wave in your hair, or if she snips a little too much of the cuticle, don’t be annoyed. She’s probably wondering how she is to rate in the grading of papers, following the examination held in the Senate Chamber at the Statehouse. For Indiana beauty operators have had their first examination under the 1935 law, which requires all operators who had not practiced at least a year before June 10 to answer questions concerning beauty care. It Was Practical Examination In addition to the scientific written examination, given under the watchful eyes of Miss Ruth E. Burnett, State Board of Beauty Culturists secretary, and Mrs. Edythe Wedekind, vice president, operators yesterday were given a practical examination, in which finger waves, shampoos, facials, permanent waves and manicures were demonstrated. Under the cold marble eyes of the statue of Calvin Fletcher, Indiana Senator for the district composed of Marion, Madison and Hamilton Counties in the early 1800s, intent young women swirled blond, brunet and auburn hair into the modish curves required for the present day coiffure. In the same chamber where heart balm bills, revised liquor laws and other serious legislation held public interest last January, perfumed hair-setting lotion poured, combs flicked in deft fingers and nails were buffed and shaped. Brought Own Supplies Operators brought their own supplies and models; hair-drying machines were set along the side of the corridor leading into the Senate chamber. Occasionally, running short of models on whom to demonstrate their ability, beauty operators co-operated, one manicuring one hand on a model, while the other worked on the other hand. Statehouse feminine employes, lacking time to dash out to their favorite beauty shop, obligingly volunteered as models in some instances. The examination became an interesting pantomime, when operators, lacking the conveniences of shampoo requirements, did “make-believe” shampoos, to demonstrate their ability. The scientific written examination was taken bf more than 50 persons, who will need to rate 75 per cent before being considered eligible for licenses. Grading is to be completed this week. The practical demonstration is necessary for all operators in tue state, regardless ■of the length of practice. Operators coming to Indiana from other states must take the written examination unless they have had licenses in other states having beauty culturist laws comparable to the Indiana statute. Similar examinations to those held in. Indianapolis Monday and yesterday are to be conducted in other Indiana cities this month by Miss Burnett. Examinations are scheduled for Richmond today and tomorrow; Bedford, Jan. 13 and 14; Columbus, Jan. 15 and 16; Lafayette, Jan. 20 and 21; Marion, Jan. 22 and 23, and Terre Haute, Jan. 27 and 28.

LARRABEE ENTERS ELEVATION BATTLE Joins Fight After Civic Clubs Wire President. Rep. William H. Larrabee, congressman from the Eleventh district, has entered the battle for Federal aid to be used in bringing track elevation to Indianapolis. Rep. Larrabee called long-distance from Washington yesterday to obtain more information on the status of track elevation here. His action came after a telegram was sent President Roosevelt by the South Side Civic Club and other South Side civic organizations, protesting against neglect of Indianapolis in the Federal track elevation program. The telegram pointed out that $200,000,000 in work-relief funds have been appropriated for grade crossing elimination and that Indianapolis has been passed up on track elevation. All preliminary engineering work for the project here has been completed, the President was informed. BURGLARS TAKE SUITS Seymour (Ind.) Store Robbed of Clothes Valued at 5900.'
