Hjiir Curling
By FLORENCE JENKINS
The men didn't know what they
were starting back in the Stone
Age when they curled their hair
and painted their aces. Historian:
say this special care was for two
reasons to frighten enemies and
to attract women.
The primitive caveman bound
up his flowing locks with leather
thongs and rolled his hair around
animal bones. Hair adornment is
believed to have been part of the
rituals of manhood, hunting and
making war. Also, it is believed
that early man drew his hair
through hollow animal bones not
only (or ornamentation, but as a
badge of heroism and leadership
as well.
While in those prehistoric times
the male was preoccupied with his
own hair beauty, woman's hair
seems to have been the object o(
his attention, also. History allegei
there Is some basis in fact for the
cartoon figure of the caveman
dragging the female of his choice
along by her hair.
Only recently a comb extracted
from the earth was calculated
to be 9000 years old. It was made
of bone and heavily carved in
primitive fashion. Around that pe
riod, it is believed, men had de
veloped hair adornment to a fine,
if messy, art. It is known that
they used a hair dressing made
of animal fat and animal ashes
cooked together into a (hick paste.
This was plastered on the head,
the hair molded into sticky waves
and probably adorned with bird
feathers, leather thongs, plant
vines, etc. '
Hair curling in this manner was.
however, exclusively lor the male.
Such finery was taboo for females.
But as. centuries passed, woman
borrowed the glitter of her strut
ting male and, by the time of ear
ly recorded history, competed with
men in achieving hair beauty. Just
when women openly borrowed hair
curling from men is shrouded In
the dim mists of history. But it
has long been a method women
used to choose their mates by at
traction. It also seems to have
been a method of competition with
other women.
Queen Ncfert-ele, the mother of
King Tutankhamen, was the reign
ing beauty of ancient Egypt
around 1300 B.C. She borrowed
from the men, too, and like the
royal males around her, painted
her nails red with henna, outlined
her eyes with black and painted
her eyebrows. To avoid competi
tion with other women, she tor
bade them to cut or curl their
hair; then promptly shaved her
ovftn head completely In the style
of the royal kings.
By 45 B.C., Cleopatra had re
stored hair as woman s crowning
glory In Egypt. Slaves were em
ployed to rub her head with grease
daily, even though she owned a
collection of wigs lo match her
every mood and costume. It is an
historical fact that she was so
conscious of hair beauty that she
slept with an iron band locked
tightly around her brow and iron
weights tied to the ends of her
hair. Her headresl, so as not to
disturb her deceptively simple coif
fure, was a hard clay square not
unlike today's ordinary brick.
About 6(1 A.D. in Rome, Julia.
daughter of Emperor Titus, rolled
her hair in curls around a "rat"
made of hollow bone. About this
time are the first records of the
world's first curling iron hollow
tubes of beaten copper filled with
boiling water lo heat them.
As early as lfiOO in England
there was published a "who's
who" of men's hairstyles and in
the French court men competed
with one another to achieve the
longest, curliest and most elabor
ate wigs. At that time, men initi
ated the first silk stockings, the
first high heels and the first heav
ily adorned shoe buckles.
It wasn't long, of course, until
women were "borrowing" the new
styles from Iho men. And down
the ages it appears that woman's
greatest beauty challenge has been
to change that "hank of hair" into
the much-admired curly locks
which nature bestows on so few.
Shoulder l.im

More paved roads need while
lines along Iheir edges.
Although the painting of while
lines is probably a comparatively
small part of the cost of construe
tion of highways, these lines are
among the best safely devices the
Highway Department has devel
oped.
In an area where winter fogs
are almost constant threat for
night drivers, the white lines alons
the shoulders of the highways are
welcome beacons.
All drivers who have crept

Suddenly a pair of amber lights

They appear to head right at your

miles an hour as you try feverish

You are ready to open the door

the last possible second, you find
you are still on your side of the

The white line along the should

prayer. It is placed where the car
lights naturally shine and serves
as safe tracks to follow. The dan

Driving still demands alertness

While lines painted along a road

route possible. It may save some
lives and avert broken bones and
dented fenders. It's a proper proj

Mail To Congress
By FRANK ELEAZER
WASHINGTON (UPI) Rep.
Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) has re
ceived a letter from a constituent
who asks him to sponsor a con
gressional investigation of the Con
stitution. 'It's unconstitutional," this vo
ter says of the Constitution.
Congressional mail this year as
usual is pouring in by the truck-
load and fortunately not all of it
is that hard lo answer. There are
only 10.000 or so people working
for Congress, including the 534
members, and there wouldn't be
time to think up replies.
Moslly a lilter to a House mem
ber or senator prompts an official
looking answer, bearing the con
gressman's signature which he
may or may not have affixed him
self, and reading like this:
"Dear sir:
"I am glad to have had tne
benefit of your views on the sub
jects you discuss and to assure
you that they will have every con
sideration should legislation on
these matters come before us."
In one well-organized congressio
nal office this is form reply No.
In other offices the number is
different but the letter is the same
Although President Eisenhower's
recent messages on the state-of-the
union, 'the budget, and the
economy got a lukewarm recep
tion from Congress, House and
Senate postmasters think Ihey
were great. They weren't the kind
that generate much extra mail to
members of Congress.
House Postmaster Hap Morris
and his Senate counterpart,, David
u. Jcnmns, have their work cut
out for them without any help
from the President. When hot is
sues are up, they are swamped.
Even between crisis like now
they and Iheir 100 helpers lug
around to the members' offices
about 200 bags of incoming mail
daily, with maybe 50 pounds to
Ihe bag.
The lime-tested way to retire
after one term in Congress is not
lo answer tho mail. So there
as much, or more, going out. As
noted above, this sometimes poses
a problem. Sen. Kenneth B. Keat

which read in full:
"I heard your speech last night
on the radio and I read it again
in the newspaper this morning. Be
lieve me, you're no idiot. I am,
for ever having voted for you."
Every lawmaker keeps a file,
appropriately labeled, of letters
like this. All others, and even
some of these, are answered
faithfully and in some offices with
considerable pains.
Pressure mail printed post
cards and the like, obviously in
spired by a lobby is generally
discounted. But most members
think when a voter takes the
trouble to write, somebody better
look at what he says. Mail from
home plays a big part In some con
gressional actions.

By MERRIMAN SMITH
UPI White House Reporter
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Back
stairs at the White House:
There has been some public
curiosity about why President
Eisenhower with a fabulously fine
home at Gettysburg, Pa., has
elected to spend recent weekends
at the White House mountain re
sort, Camp David, 20 miles irom
the farm.
Housewives might understand.
The Eisenhower home, for custo
mary living purposes, usually is
closed during most of the cold
winter months.
If the President goes to the
farm for a weekend, it means
sending up servants ahead to
open up the house, getting food
in and other assorted housekeep
ing details.
Camp David, on Ihe oilier hand.
is staffed constantly by a detail
cf U.S. Marines, a going concern
whether the President is there or
not. His quarters can be made
ready on much shorter notice and
with much less effort than a mid
winter trip to the (arm would re
quire.
While the President was playing
bridge with old friends at Camp
David over last weekend, all
sorts of activity was going on in
nearby Gettysburg. Cleaned from
Ihe Gettysburg times:
"The 'Upper Adams and Gettys
burg Marching and. Literary So
ciety' is spending its annual week
end at the Tumbling Run Lodge."
Cliff Arquette, an ardent Gettys
burg booster when he is not get
ting laughs on the Jack Paar TV
show as Charlie Weaver of Mount
Idy. was in print, sharply criti
cal of crass business interests
which would ring Gettysburg's
historic Civil War battlefield with
hot dog stands.
A man at Blue Ridge Summit
had 12 peacocks available for
quick sale, several farmers were
advertising for "heavy fowl" to
be used for canning and the
Wenksville Cemetery Association
scheduled a benefit ham supper
for next month at the Benders
ville Firemen's Hall.
A couple of years from now,
and the President might be able
to take in some of these activities
going on near his farm.
The newspapers were filled last
week with the President's ringing
advice to the Republican Party
to quit acting like a "hibernating
elephant" between election cam
paigns, when into the sparkling
political semantics strode big Bill
Knighton, the White House report
er for the Baltimore Sun.
Knighton, whose normal conver
sational voice has the timbre of
tin operatic basso profundo.
braced press secretary Jim Hag
erty with this inquiry: Did the
President know that elephants do
not hibernate?
"I am glad to know." Haeerty
said with an unmistakable tinge
of acid, "that the Baltimore Sun
has an expert on elephants."
It should be pointed out that the
White House man who oversees
the preparation of many of Eisen
hower's political statements is Dr.
Malcolm Moos, formerly of the
Baltimore Sun.
Months of research and prepar
ation went into the President's
economic report to Congress last
week. Finally, the government
printing office delivered untold
hundreds of copies to Ihe White
House.
Dr. Raymond Saulnier. chair
man of (he President's Council of
Economic Advisers, took one look
at the finished document and be
gan to have qualms. The report
was bound in heavy pink paper
After hearing some wisecracks
around the White House about Ihe
august economic council turninn
a bit pink. Saulnier decided action
was called for, lest the White
House run into an ideological
trap.
He got (he printing office on
the telephone and very shortly
Ihey delivered a new hatch of re

ly Puritan shade of gray.

Navy Not Against Budget,

WASHINGTON (AP)-The Navy

oppose President Eisenhower's de
fense budget. However, both at
tach an important "but . . ."
Adm. Arleigh A. Burke, chief of
naval operations, told Congress
Monday he is supporting the de
fense budget. But he also made
it clear he is not satisfied with
the speed at which ships, planes
and weapons are being replaced.
Gen. Randolph M. Pate, Marine
commandant, also made no pro
test about the budget. But he said
that Pentagon orders to cut the
corps to 175,000 men will mean
the loss of six combat landing
teams and six air squadrons. The
new budget provides for only
175,000 Marines.
