IT TAKES PLENTY of nerve Yo @5 what I did

_ yesterday. I attended a hair-curling session. at the

Indiana Hairdressers and Cosmetologists association 10th annual convention. The ladies and gentlemen of the permanent wave set are currently showing their best coiffures in the Lincoln Hotel. Believe me when I say I'd much rather walk into a den of lions, Byt around here where can a guy find a den of lions? Anyway, I took a seat next to the wall in the Lincoln Room and waited for the proceedings to start. This was to be my first glimpse of how experts achieve that “look” with milady's hair. The appointed hour came and went. No one geemed to be in any hurry to get the thing started. My program showed that three Indiana artists were to perform on the stage. A charming young lady next to me almost fell out of her chair when I'asked why were hairdressers called artists, OK, I'm a boor, but I still want to know, - .

Origin of ‘Artist’ Term “THE REASONUWE CALL them artists is because they create hair styles,” said the young lady as she deftly ran a finger through a big gob of wellmannered blond hair. A quick glance around the packed room convinced me I should have searched longer for that den of

Bonuses Undeserved By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Nov. 5—The votes are just in on whether the State of New York shall be allowed to tip a participant in World War II for his labors, voluntary or otherwise. It's a small tip—from $50 to $250 per hero—but it runs up to $400 million, and I wonder if this sort of thing is going to be an accepted political come-on from here in. It seems to me that war has become such a great big production that presenting the participants with cash prizes for their involuntary part in it is a little like awarding bonuses to babies for getting born. It is away past the point of individual nobility, or purposeful martyrdom. Comes along a war and all hands get mixed up in it somehow. If we get bonuses for veterans I want bonuses for all the wives who sweated out the Western Union boy, aged 79, who fetched the fetter edged in black from the War Department. I want bonuses for the girls who didn't get married, and the girls who got divorced, and the nice girls who turned into tramps’ for reasons directly connected with the war. Shake ‘down the treasury for the 4-F's, whose spirit twisted within them because they- wanted to go and couldn't, and for the cowards who debased themselves by trying all the dodges to stay out.

A Synonym for Come-All-Ye YOU ONLY RUN INTO the word “bonus” when the politicos move into an election. It is the synonym for the come-all-ye, and at the moment, can be considered as a cheap implement for hustling the people to the polls and setting them up favorably for other legislation. The bonus was a practical thing when wars were small and the number of people who went to war was small, but the concept has gotten out of hand and needs some updating. We used the phrases “all out” and “total” to the verge of corniness in the last one, but it was honest corn.

It's a gratuity which can’t help him much as an individual, but which can be used by politicians [72 to buy votes, at the expense of the ex-GI taxpayer himself.

WASHINGTON, Nov, 5—The Senate's Howard Hughes hearings reopen today with fewer hot lights and mooning microphones. Dignity is the word for this stanza into the war-time doings of Hollywood's leading aviator and no time will be devoted to sex. Or at least not much. Eveni now Col. James G. Hall, late of the U. 8. Army Air Forces, is banging on the door of Sen. Homer S. Ferguson (R. Mich.), the chairman, in hope of telling his version of the parties with the nightclub lovelies, The colonel was sitting in the Senate caucus room one hot day last August when Mr. Hughes’ roly-poly press agent, the ubiquitous Johnny Meyer, told about his celebrated expense accounts, One of 'em included $3000 for food, drinks, tips, and presents for the ladies who entertained Col. Hall.

Colonel's Ego Was Shocked BUT THE COLONEL never got a chance to put his side of the story in the record, because Sen. Fer= guson slammed shut the hearings in his face. Col. Hall was entertained by Mr. Hughes, all right, while the latter was building his aerial behemoth, Hercules, and a few photo reconnaissance. planes. Col. Hall enjoyed himself, too. But nobody spent any $3000 on him, he added. What worries him. is an item which any male, I guess, would resent. Col. Hall attended a party, see, and was gallant to the beauties at the table. “And it is terribly humiliating and a shock to my ego to have Mr. Meyer testify that he gave young ladies presents to entertain me,” the colonel explained. The Senators first planned to’ begin the second round of the hearings with a ban on newsreel cameramen and radio broadcasters but Chairman Ferguson

had a last-minute change of heart. He said okay when they agreed to curtail the use of equipment and personnel. “What I want to do is conduct the hearings in a serious manner,” the Senator said. Sen. Ferguson intends to hold the subject to airplanes as much as he can, in preference to blonds. He wants to know how come the government—over)| objeetions of many of its officers—spent $18 million on this one plywood flying macliihe and signed another contract with Mr, ‘Hughes: which will cost it about $22 million for two aerial photo planes.
