Must Have Operation

to Get Hair Permed

Faced with the choice of undergoing an operation on her hend

or going without a permanent wave, Mrs. May Southgate, of Vernon-street, Ipswich, chose—the operation.

►

For years Mrs. Southgate, who is twenty-four wanted a per- manent wave. The opportunity to have one came the other day when she wanted to celebrate getting a new job.

She hurried to the hairdressers, only to be told she could not have one. This is why.

Two years ago, in a shooting accident, she was peppered with shot, and four of the pellets are still in her head.

Her hairdresser will not take the risk of Mrs. Southgate being injured by the effect when electricity is used.

Who Started War Meets Man

Who Ended It

The two outstanding human personalities of the war- the man who started it and the man who ended it-met in London recently to broadcast for “In Town To-night,”

For years they have lived only a mile or so apart, with- out knowing it-one at Brighton, the other at Hove.

Fifty-five-years-old Ernest Thomas, ex-sergeant-major the Dragoons, fired the first shot of the war.

He told how when riding in August 1914 with a troop of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards on the Mons-Charleroi road, they met a troop of German Uhlans. He fired and killed a German oficer. That was the first shot of the war,
