NEW HAIR ON ANY PATE It is with considerable pride that we, on the eve of El kin's second Amateur Show, announce the perfection of the Browning Hydro-Electric Hair Growing Machine, which will be demonstrated for the first time on the stage of the Lyric theatre tomorrow night (Friday), as a feature of the Ama teur Show. It is necessary, in order to demonstrate this wonderful machine, that some bald Elkin man will come up on the stage. Whoever volunteers will be rewarded with a growth of hair guaranteed not to be less" than six inches in length, and any color he may desire —if the new invention works. If it doesn't, the volunteer won't have need of any hair one way or another. Acting on the principle that intense cultivation, plus a hydro electric bombardment of the atoms of the hair roots will in stantly galvanize any hair root to PAUL GWYN PHONE2SB All Lines of INSURANCE Representing Strong Stock Companies Only—No Mutuals Wi Pl'l'himdll!lMMLLrifml 1 • Lower temperatures ' plus higher humidity pre serves natural food flavor I and moisture in the new Norge LOW-TEMP. ynjUnplr t These advantages, never before available for home «Eii r refrigeration, are yours at ■ F an operating cost no greater than that of ordi r nary electric refrigerations | Come in and see the re frigerator of the future eoSfI£»MUTTLEAt tiv* Norgc cofdfuMirinf _ mtchmnltm, b*s but three | tlowlr moving partt.

C. action, the hair growing machine has been made to both electrify and bombard at the same time. It is expected if the invention works—that the hair will grow with such rapidity that the au dience —if any—will be able to actually HEAR them as they burst through the surface! It is urged that everyone who is THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA the least bit interested in science attend the amateur show, if only to see the hair growing machine. And it is especially urged that bald-headed men come early and sit on the front row. That is, if they wish to be demonstrated upon. Aside from the hair-growing machine and the marvel of the age, "Mekko," the Mechanical Man," which will also be shown upon the stage, an excellent pro gram will be on tap, featuring the best amateur talent available from gurry. Wilkes and Yadkin counties, in addition to a number of comedy acts that are bound to be good. If they are not, then we have had our hair turn grey for nothing. 4 . . . As yet we, as master of cere monies and the fellow who has got to do all the worrying to morrow night, are unable to an nounce whether our Uncle Cul pepper will be present. It all de pends whether or not his sentence has expired, for with the excep tion of a postcard bearing the no tation "1-cent due," which we received a couple of weeks ago, we haven't heard from, him. Un 'cle Culpepper is not as young as jhe once was, and besides, he sort lof hates to leave his hogs. Speaking of "Mekko," the Me chanical Man." there are numer ous people hereabouts who scoff and question the appearance of any such contraption. Some seem to think that Mekko will turn out to be a person who, by walking with jerky movements, will give the impression of being mechan ical. However, this is not the fact, for Mekko, while roughly resem bling the human form, is a man made man, given life by electric ity. To see Mekko is to believe. One look, and anyone with a grain of gumption will instantly realize that no human being, no matter how great his control of muscle, or how good an actor, could ever impersonate such a mechanical marvel. If Mekko isn't as repre sented do you think we could af ford to give so much publicity to him? Of course not. Tsk. Tsk. Winners of the Amateur Con test will go to Charlotte Sunday for a broadcast from WBT begin ning at 1:15 and ending at 1:30 p. m., a total of 15 minutes. At Greensboro last fall the amateurs were allotted 30 minutes, which proved just twice as much time as we needed to complete the pro gram. You can take it from us that 15 minutes, when passing before a microphone, is a heck of a long time! * * * HIGH FLIERS Through the courtesy of Ab Somers, of Elkin Motors, Inc., Hugh Royall, Wilbur Carter, Har vey Laffoon and us went to Cool eemee last Friday and flew from there to Elkin in the large tri motor Ford plane,that was here over the week-end. Mr. Somers also went along, although flying to him is old stuff, he being a li censed pilot in his own right. The boss (Mr. Laffoon), had never been up before —that is, up in a plane (we frequently get him "up in the air")—and we were quite interested in his reaction to soaring along a thousand or so feet above the earth, especially just after that terrible disaster which occurred at Lakehurst. However, he got along just fine, although he did remark that he thought it a little reckless on the part of the pilot not to have got ten out and inspected the land ing field on the Brooks Cross Roads highway before setting the big ship down there. Hugh Royall, who had been up before "but not in ten years"—ap peared to enjoy his trip immense ly after he had succeeded in bum ming a cigar, which he lighted and puffed on industriously until we landed. However, he did ex press his displeasure at the way Wilbur Carter ran up and down the aisle of the cabin, going from one window to another, because he was afraid Wilbur would get the ship off balance. Ab Somers, to make the trip more pleasant for us all, regaled us with stories of airplane crack ups; of the agonies of air sickness, and the like. He was a real com fort. As for us, we just sot thar and looked out the window and no ticed Just how far away the ground was from the right land ing wheel, suspended there in space. And we also wondered, the way the others were gassing, if there was any possible danger of an explosion such as destroyed the German Hlndenburg, which was also caused by escaping gas. But all in all it was a very pleasant trip, rJthough a wee bit bumpy in places, the ship having a tendency to drop out from un- der one every now and then, but always catching itself , before it was too late. And we couldn't help admire the ease in which Captain Gilmour, the pilot, land ed the big metal bird, setting it down as gently as a soap bubble coming to rest on a velvet car pet.
