Even that la a slim chance unless there Is marked Improvement In bus iness conditions before next fall, M ' YROM presidents of the United States to platinum blondes la long jump. But It takes a lot of widely differing things to make up the life of a great country like this, and right now, thanks to Miss Jean Harlow, platinum blondes are almost as much In the public eye as presl' dents. All the girls who haven't got 'em want to know how to get 'em, and there la a lot of scurrying around on the port of the chemists. ' t F you read your front page care- fully, you noted an opinion the other day to the effect that, taking It by and large, painting offers great er chances of success than bleaching, . So off with the peroxide and on with the aluminum paint. That ought to Interest Uncle Andrew Mel' Ion, who la a big figure In the alum! num trust. Perhaps, on the strength of this little bint, It might pay us to unload something else and take a flyer in aluminum stocks. F you are serlous-mlnded, you may snort wrathfully and aay: "Piatt- num blondes and how to get that way la a great subject to be occupy ing the front page In these days of mighty world events that Involve the fate of national" Soma people are like that, you know. M B UT let's see about this. Taking it for granted that all the girls want to be platinum blondes, .the discovery of a sure-fire way to GET TO BE a platinum blonde would be a great boost to the drug store business. Prosperous druggists, lnclud 1 n g manufacturers, wholesalers and re tailers, would turn around and buy what the REST OP US have to sell, Wouldn't that start something In the way of business recovery? N OR la that all of It. We are really Just getting a good atart. Just aa soon as all the glrla got to , be platinum blondes. It would be discovered that all the dresses they are wearing now wouldn't go AT ALL with platinum hair. So something would have to be done about THAT. rpHE thing that would have to be - done would be to get dresses that WOULD go with platinum hair. That la where the women's apparel trade would come In. With every up-and-coming girl In the country demanding new clothea to go with her new platinum hair, business In the apparel trades would boom.' Jobs In the apparel trades would multiply and unemployment would vanish. t - SO far so good. But let's get on. These new dresses to go with the new hair would demand new ahoes and new hose and new bags and new bats. So the, hosiery mills and the shoe factories and the hat foundries would prick up their ears and begin to show signs of life. Even the auto mobile manufacturers would have to bring out new colore and new up holstery to harmonize with the new modes. More Jobs would be created and MORE UNEMPLOYMENT would dis appear. - TOO scoff?
