USES HUMAN HAIR PAINTING SCENERY Former lmr Dresser Uses Head Govering lor Pigments Berlin, Feb. 7 (UP)—Russia has presented another novelty to the world—a portrait and landscape painter, Gregori Boruchoff, who uses human hair in place of the customary oils and pigments In “painting™ his pictures. Boruchoff's unique works, which at first glance appear indistinguish- able from pictures actually done in oil, have been displayed at many private showings and in several of the smaller European museums and galleries. When on a visit.to Berlin = recently, he expressed the hope of being able to show his por- traits in America sometime in the Dear future. Born 42 years ago in Chernigoff, Ukraine, Boruchoff became an ap- prentice hairdresser when he was 10 years old, uitimately reaching the elevated estate of hairdresser for the famous Russian theatrical cast of the Brothers Adetheim. It was while working at his chosen profession in Chernigoff 22 years ago t! he stumbled upon the art of ‘“hair-portraiture.” His initial attempts to perfect the art failed, however, and it was not un- ti! he found himself supplied with an overabundance of leisure in 1915 when he was a prisoner of war in an Austrian camp—that he succeed- ed in developing his knitting tech- nique and his judgment of color values to a point where he could *“paint” to his personal satisfaction, He was assisted in his studies at that time by a Swedish member of an American risoners’ relief com- mittee, who obtained money and the requisite materials for him. During his recent visit here Bo- ruchoff explained his system of *hair-portraiture.” His canvass is a piece of silk or linen cloth and his brush a fine knitting needle. He gathers his materials, consist- ing of many strands of hair of vari- ous shades, on a palette, and there blends or mixes the shades until he obtains the desired tint much as the ordinary oil painter mixes his pigments. He then takes the tlended strands and knits them on- to the cloth. His knitting, method, he said, is that used in making Gobelin tapestries. To get the proper lights and shadows in his pictures he uses light and dark shades of hair exactly as the oil painter uscs light and dark colors. In this manger he succeeds in work- ing into his portraits the minutest details of the face of his subject, down even to the crows.feet about the eyes and the wrinkles around the Nose and mouth. Boruchoff's only complaint was directed against bobbed hair. He must have long, fine hair for cer- tain features of his “painting,” and the bobbed-hair fad has greatly limited his supply of this material. JARDINE BROTHERS IN SAME PATHWAY Both Interested in Products of Farm and Range Corvallis, Ore, Feb. 7. (P—Jim Jardine thinks he can sing better than his brother Bill. He goes back to their old cow- boy days in southern Idaho. The cattle were restless and each mo- ment increased the nervous surg- ing that presaged a wild stampede. The rolling sea of horns went low- er, and a thousand pairs of hooves tore angry scars across the earth. Bill thought of music; he remem- bered it has “charms to soothe the savage breast.” A song might work. But the other cowboys didn’t want to throw the steers in flight, so0 it was Jim who sang. James T. breaks down and con- fesses thaat in their younger days he was a better cattieman than his brother, wko became secretary of agriculture. When he was only 18 he was managing the men and crews necessary to handle 500 head of cattle. Otherwise he claims no particu- lar advantage in their careers, which, singularly parallel, they have sought alone. Both upon leav- ing the ranch on which they were reared went directly to college to study agriculture. Both were back- e |and Mra. Michael fleld stars in football. They culti- | vated 1,000 acres of sod land in Idaho as partners. Then each ac. quired a farm of his own, which he has kept and managed ever since, When they went into educational work their paths diverged, but the direction was the same. Jim rose to a responsible position with the department of agriculture in Wash- ington and then left it to head the large Oregon experiment station, Willlam M. reversed the process. He became director of the Kansas experiment station, then oresident of the Kansas Agricultural college, and next secretary of agriculture in the Coolidge cabinet. ‘While both rose from the cattle range to prominent federal posi- tiona, each has meticulously re- frained from offering a boost or ac. cepting one from the other in pub- lie life. When urged to return to federal service at the conclusion of 12 years as special inspector In charge of range-livestock investi- gations, Jim officially declined. Un- officially, he grinned, “Not while Bill's there.” Weddings MERRITT—McMAHON Miss Catherine T. McMahon of 318 Lincoln street, daughter of McMahon, and Winslow G. Merritt, a foreman, of 114 Franklin street, were married Tuesday. The ceremony was per- formed by Rev. Walter J. Lyddy of 8t. Mary's church.

ELECTION ISSUE STIRS SCOTCHMEN Home Rule Yote in Foreground a5 Leading Issue Edinburgh, Scotland, Feb, 7 (P— —The Scottish nationalist move- ment has thrust itself to the fore- ground as a leading issue in the North Midlothian by-election on January 29. The famous Gladstone once campaigned in this constitu- ency. This s the first time home rule has been offered to the voters of Scotland, and all parties are watch- ing the result with unusual inter- There are four candidates: Major John Colville, conservative; David Keir, liberal; Andrew Clarke, la- bor, and Lewis Spenge, Scottich nationalist. Spence's platform is self fovernment for Bcotland, or, to use the party's phrase, “an inde- pendent national status within ‘the British group of nations.” 8Spence would give the Scottish parliament control over customs, excise, defense and immigration, similar to the Canadian plan. The present movement goes much fur- ther than earlier home rule pro- grams. There have been a dozen of these in the last 20 years, none of which has gone beyond a second reading in parliament. The nationalist candidate speaks of the contest as a “spiritual Ban- nockburn, with the continued ex- istence of Scotland and the Scot- tish race as an issue.” He believes that Scotland should be represent- ed in the imperial scheme, “not as the pale shadow of England,” but as one of the dominions. The nationalist party came into existence only last May, but claims to have 40 branches north of the Tweed. ' BEAL ESTATE NEWS Warranty Nicholas Scappelatti D'Andrea, Corbin avenue. Gunnar A.

POTTERY PUZZLES DEFY SCIENTISTS Fragments Hold Valuable His- tory of 0ld Indian Races Washington, Feb., 7 (A — Frank H. H. Roberts, Jr., of the Bureau of American Ethnology, is spending the winter—not merely a winter's eve- ning—trying to solve a series of pot- tery puzzles which he collected last summer in southwestern Colorado. The fragments came from the ruins of wood and adobe dwellings occupied 1.500 to 2,000 years ago at the very dawn of the Pueblo Indian culture. He has been able thus far to put together 250 pieces of pottery, ranging from children's toys to useful cooking. eating and storage utensils four to 25 inches high and four to 17 inches wide. Like the woodworker who can never foretell what hidden beau- ties will he exposed by the mext sweep of his plane, Mr. Roberis is constantly Moking forward fo mun covering the mysteries of primitive designs. No two of the designs are alike. that the Indians who made them depended chiefly on gourds and other native vegetation for their models, and that the potter’s wheel was unknown to them. They made their pottery much as| their predecessors, the basketmak- ers, constructed the baskets which characterized the earliest culture. Rolling out lengths of moist clay between their hands, they coiled them round and round into the shapes desired, smoothed the sur- faces, decorated them, and baked the vessels in crude but effective Kilns. In later periods, the outer sur- faces were left unsmoothed. This was done, Mr. Reberts believes, to present the greatest possible hes Neville Nominated ‘Washington, Febh. 7 (®—Major General Wendell €, Neville was nominated by President Coolidge to- day to be commandant of the ma- rine corps.

The early re- action followed sharp declines on the “bid board” and dumping over- board of curb securities to protect stock exchange margins. The rise in Goldman Sachs Trad- ing came on the heels of the an- nouncement of its merger with fi- nancial and {industrial securities corporation into a $244,000,000 in- vestment company. Today's advance to 222 1.2 compares with the offer- ing price of 104 in December. Utilities were under selling pres- sure, American Superpower A drop- ping 15 points to 86 and Electric Bend & Share, which is reported to be considering consolidating some ‘{of the holding companies under its supervision, about 10 points.

Partial recoveries took place in a mid-day rally, but new points of weakness were continually cropping out to further disturb speculative confidence. Trading was in unusually heavy volume. Total sales crossed the 500,000 share mark before noon. The ticker, which had fallen 20 minutes behind the market, made up most of the delay by the end of the third hour. Wall street has seldom awaited a market opening with more interest, not so much to see what the market would do as It was generally con- ceded that a reaction was iuevitable, but to learn the extent of the de- cline. The few first prices which appeared on the tape showed losses of only fractions to 2 points but then came a block of 20,000 shares of U. 8. Bteel common at an over- right los of 6 points and a break of 17 points in General Electric on the first sale. Industrials Go Overboard Other high priced industrials were then thrown overboard, Wright Aeronautical dropping 16 points, Case Threshing Machine 15, Dupont 13, Westinghouse Electric 11 and Allied Chemical, Curtiss, U. 8. Industrial Alcohol and National Cash Register falling 8 to 10 points. Rails yieMed with the Industrials, Canadian Pa- cific dropping 9 points and Union Pacific §. It was quite evident that much of the opening selling represented li- quidation by frightened small specu- | lators so that when the renewal rate | for call money was marked down to 6 per cent, several large traders stepped into the market and bought stocks “for a quick tur With an abundant supply of spec- furnished largely by private corporations, individuals and banks outside the control of the fed- eral reserve system, furnishing the background for the recent advance in stock prices, it was natural that the overnight developments which threatened a curtailment of brokers’ loans would result in the wholesale liquidation of stocks, Previous warnings against the ex- cessive use of speculative credit have been generally disregarded but the | possibility of a rise in federal re- serve rediscount rates, coupled with | the higher Bank of England rate which will chgck the flow of gold from London to Ncew York, proved a bitter pill for “bull” traders. IFavorable trade and business news also has been an important factor in the recent rise in stock prices, but the federal reserve board pointed out that business prosperity has been threatened by the recent rise | in interest rates resulting from the abnormal absorption of credit by the |+ speculative markets.
