THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, BALHORA CASTLE AWATS MONARCHS King and Queen to Begin Bril- ‘liant Highland Season Wedneday. LONDON, September 20 (NAN.A).— Royal Deeside is making preparations for the most brilliant highland season since the war. Balmoral Castle, which will be the home of the King and Queen for about five weeks, beginning next Wednesday, has been freshened up in readiness for their majesties’ arrival. The Duke and Duchess of York and their children are going to stay for a time at Birkhall, on the Balmoral estate, and Prince and Princess Arthur of Connaught are al- ready at Mar lodge. Princess Arthur has greatly changed the interior of her Scottish home since the death of her mother, the late Princess Royal, and a lot of unwanted bric-a-brac, paintings, engravings, pho- tographs, china and old furniture have recently been sold by auction. Hostess in September. Princess Arthur will be the hostess at the famous Braemar gathering in September, and it is possible, if weather permits, that the King and Queen will attend the games this year. Their majesties are expecting to en- tertain & number of personal friends | at Balmoral, and though the former custom of having a minister in attend-. ance when the sovereign is at the castle has long been dispensed with, several members of the government and their wives will be visiting Balmoral this year. Among the first ministerial guests will be the prime minister and Miss Ishbel MacDonald. One of the visits the Queen invari- ably makes while she is at_Balmoral is to the Ex-service Men's. Institute, at Ballater, where disabled men occupy themselves in the production of various kinds of handwork. She bas taken an interest in this employment scheme since its beginning. Gem-Setting Industry. The Queen's knowledge, a specialized one, is also highly valued in regard to another local industry—that of the pol- s s o8 st ter y 3 tive stones, though used princi ornaments of highland dress, are coming increasingly popular in modern | jewelry design. |~ Baliater, the nearest villn&e of any | size to Balmoral, vies with Windsor in displaying on many of its shop fronts the sometimes enormous coat-of-arms that_ indicates the appointment to royalty. 1t is also proud of the fact | that it contains the small barracks for the soldiers who form the guard of honor while the King is at the castle. Another lesser known link with royalty is the ruined cottage in the picturesque Pass of Ballater. It was here that Queen Victoria was in the habit ‘of breaking her journey to Balmoral for tea, 70 years ago, before the railroad from Aberdeen had been taken through | to Ballater, the passage by coach being a long and fatiguing one.

IMATTRESS M A 33(')50 and REMADE —— HARVARD SHORT HAVING WIDESPREAD VOGUE Summer Camp Barber Believed to Have Started Pop- ularity for Groton, or Crew Style, of Bobbing. BOSTON/ (N.AAN.A).—A Groton schoolboy has joined the major leagues and the “Groton” hair cut has reached the sandlots. How the name started is not quite clear, but the fact is that the close- cropped hair cut that for several years has adorned the classic brows of the Harvard crew men has spread like wild- fire. The past year found it all the rage among high school boys, and this tshummn the playgrounds are filled with em. ‘With the spreading of the idea have come many changes in the name. In many places it's the “Harvard.” Sometimes the ‘“rah rah” and the “whiffle.” Style of Cutting Varies. ‘The styles of cutting aré also varled. The barber tuths out a very neat job in the form of a close pompadour, tapered off.neatly, and the charge in some places is 10 cents extra. Accord- ing to_one barber, the boys simply ask for a “Harvard” halr cut. ‘Then there's the homemade “Groton,” very popular in the Summer and very close to the scalp. Anybody's brother | or father ¢an do a neat job with this style. One theory on the origin of the name | is that the Harvard crews on their| annual training etay at Red Top are isolated 80 many weeks they prefer to rough it. A cloee-cropped hair cut by the camp barber does away with combs and brushes. As there are usually a large number HAIR TRIM of “Grotties” in the Crimson shells the name “Groton” haircut was born. At Harvard it is also known as the “crew” haircut. In the last few years pictures of Har- vard track and foot ball men show & big percentage following the tonsorial ideas of the crew. ‘With high school boys it now ranks with the sleeveless sweater and white and black shoes as the ‘“real McCoy” in fashion. 32. by North American ¥e er Alliance, Inc.)

D. C, TUESDAY, FASCISM T0 GUIDE ONN STYLE TRENDS = Annual Shows Arranged as Officials Deplore Foreign Influence. Special Dispatch to The Star. ROME, Italy.—Even pants and paa- ties have become patriotic and eco- nomic issues in the Fascist eorgonuve state. ‘The councll of ministers has just ruled that two Italian style shows will be held every year at Turin and has provided for the setting up of a com- mittee to make arrangements. “Btyles seem to be fickle and frivol- ous,” a solemn editorial in the Popolo di Roma asserts, “but precisely because of this appearance they have all the stronger and quicker appeal to the people. “This,” says the writer, regretfully, “is especially true of women, who easily confuse style with beauty and basé style on preconceptions of snebbish foreign importations.” Snobbish Taste Fostered. “This snobbish taste for foreign styles, egged on by assiduous and well conceived fmigr;cpmpcnndn‘ has ad- vanced the theory that French or Eritish or some other style constitutes g00d tastg and has denied to Italians any talent or ability in fashions and any intensive ability for designs and models,” the editorial asserts. “All this was bound to come to an end.

There will be no aping of the Rue de 1a Paix and Bond street if Fascism has anything to say about it. (Copyright, 1932 Air Liner Crashes in Desert.
