Egyptians
Invented Wigs
The wig la back In atyle and
— fudging from ncwapaper re-
port* from Chicago and Hol-
lywood — *o i* wig-snatching.
Hut if hi*tory I* any teacher,
the worat I* yet to come.
The Egyptian* were among
the firat to uae wig*, but World
Hook Encyclopedia point* nut
.that they hid an excu*e of
jaort* — wig* protected them
(from the hent and aun. When
l he *tyle came back in the
11100'*, It wa* atrictly for vanl-
'ty'a aake, and the repercuaalon*
were felt by Innocent babe*
and national treaaurie*.
From the moment l.oul» XIV
became bald, the wig waa the
thing in Paria, and the atyle
{quickly jumped the channel in-
to England. The Engliah, eager
jfor a diversion after the
Igloomy rule of the Cromwell*,
took up wiga with a passion.
| Wig-anatching mhrht have been
expected. Hut soon children
jwere being forbidden to go
Iout-of-door* nlone, lest some
'enterprising thief snip off their
locks.
| Fortunately for the French
children, their elder* preferred
jhor < hair. And they imported
so much of it from Germany
that it threatened the country's
(gold reserves, Colbert, the
[minister of finance pleaded in
\ain for a law to prohibit
wig-making.
Wig* finally fell with the
Bastille, nnd after the Revo-
lution anyone appearing on
the street in a wig wa likely to
jlose it, as well as his head,
Iliecaii e of its aristocratic con-
notation. French hairdre < r-,
of coui I-, were ruined, but the
National Assembly decided the
new liberty made them part
of the fraternity and voted
them 22 million franc* in com-
pensation.
England, disgunted by the
Revolution'* excesses, kept it*
powdered wig* on. That i*, un-
til the government needed
money to fight the wlgleaa
French. The faahionable En-
gliahman might remain unper-
turbed as he powdered hia wig
with flour that would other-
wlae have been made into
bread for the poor. But when
the government slapped a tax
on hair powder, a principle
wa* at stake. Million* for wig*,
perhaps, but not one cent for
tax . . . and the wig went the
way of all fad*.

Texas R>
Cost Less
AUSTIN.—The com per mile
of building the Interstate High-
way Hyatem in Texa* i* running
some 40 per cent below the
national average, the Texa*
Highway Department *aid to-
day.
Figure* compiled by the
U. 8. Bureau of Public Road*
show that Texa* will complete
it* portion of the Interstate
System at an Estimated 1010,-
000 per mile, a* compared with
the national average of approx-
imately $l million per mile.
(The Interstate Sy*tem I* a
\ 1,000-mile network of super
highway* scheduled to be com-
pleted in 1972. Texa*' portion
of the ayatem will total 3,027
mlleal.
Comparlaon of the Texas
cost with that of some of the
other large states revealed
these figures: California, $1.7
million per mile; Illinois, 1.3
million per mile; New York,
• 1.7 million per mile; Ohio, 1.7
million per mile, and Pennsylva-
nia, $1.5 million per mile.
Since the beginning of the
Interstate Program In 105ft,
Texas has consistently led the
nation In miles open to traffic
and work In progress. The Int-
<■ n quarterly report of the U. S.
Bureau of Public Roads, dat-
ed August H reveals that Tex-
as maintains this lead. Texas
now has 1,018.5 Interstate
mile* open to traffic and 1,322
miles of work in progress.
(Texas nlso lead* all other
-'ate* in highway building un-
iler the Federal-aid primary and
secondary systems. Since I960,
Texas has built ll,0HK mile*
under these programs).
What are the reason* behind
Texas' low co t - per - mile in
building its Interstate routes?
State Highway Kriglneer I), C.
Greer listed the following fac-
tors :
—Advance planning by the
Texas Highway Department in
anticipation of Interstate re-
iplirements. Texas "stockpiled"
engineering plans and thu*
able to get an early start on Hi
building program. Thia pho-
ning also built a team of Mgfc»
neer* experienced In Interatat*-
type work, which has resulted
in lower coxts on thia program.
—A steady and planned flo«r
of construction work fartl
month (made possible by tho
advanced planning). Thia
flow of work has effectively
ctabilized the Texas road con-
tracting industry and resulted
in lower contract costs.
—The cooperation of Tesao
counties and cities, many of
which provided much - needed
right of way even before th*
advent of th* Interstate
gram. j) «
—Protective right of
buying for Interstate route* to
keep land acquisition eoite
down.
—Taking full advantage off
local materials available in
most parts of the state, than
avoiding the cost of shipping
materials long distances.

An amateur hunter, prepar-

woods, went to a sporting goods
store to buy a compass. He
found one he liked, with a mir-

"What's the mirror for?" he
asked the clerk.
"You just look in there," re-
plied the clerk, "and it will tell
you who is lost."
It was 9 a. m. on a gloomy
