P. Symbol Is the elephant shown on# tne! badge in the photograph the pre-1 decessor of the Republican Party's1 famous symbol? This is the poser asked by a Colmar Manor, Md„ dentist who discovered the old ribbon in a book while searching for additions to his collection of Presidential but tons, badges and other political mementoes. Thomas Nast, famous political cartoonist, is generally credited by historians as the father of the ele phant as the GOP symbol. He fixed it firmly in the public mind with his political cartoons in the 1870’s and in subsequent years. But the Maryland collector. Dr. Harry Lepman of 4231 Bladens / ff -WSSB^ CHACE GUARD. Is this old badge from the collection of a Washington area dentist the first use of the elephant as the symbol of the Republican Party? The owner thinks so. burg road, Colmar Manor, thinks this is a historic predecessor of the Nast creation. The badge is one issued by a quasi-military organization, prob ably named after Senator Salmon P. Chase of Ohio, a political figure of the pre-Civil War days who later became President Lincoln's Secre tary of .the Treasury. Although Mr. Chase spelled his name with an “s,” the name on the badge is spelled with a "c.” But Dr. Lepman, who has done considerable digging into records, says he dis covered that Mr. Chase frequently penned the “s'’ so that it looked like a “c.” » The “Chace Guard" wfiich. as the badge states, was prganized Sep tember 8, 1854. thus would h^ve !be*n set up in the middle of Pres ident Pierce's term.

Mugridge, Library of Congress fellow in American His tory, told The Star there were many of the quasi-military organizations; in Ohio in the period when the Chace Guard was organized and that Dr. Lepman, therefore, may be correct in his deductions. Mr. Mugridge added, after a search of material available at the Library, that he coud find no specific refer ence to this particular unit or any evidence which would indicate whether the badge was issued in 1854 or in later years when the elephant was in more general use as the GOP symbol.

Fsrr«H, Trtcholof ist 1 / V YOU CANT STOP THRIVING HAIR GROWTH IN A NORMAL SCALP! Nature s innate urge to grow luxurious haic is so intense that it takes -a• strong, continuous retardant or in fecliqfe to stop the functions of hair reproduction. When excessive hair loss indicates a laxity or sluggish ness in hair-growing activity. Hair Experts analyse and rejuvenate the complete cycle of hair growth so that lost hair will be replaced naturally by strong, virile, obvious hair growth. IS YOUR SCALP REPLACING HAIR AS FAST AS IT IS LOST? The average normal scalp loses about 26.500 hairs per year. If your scalp is functioning normally, thick, healthy hairs will replace those lost in the normal replacement process . . . But if just one factor is out of balance, the replacement hairs will come in shorter, and weaker, and be success ively replaced by still weaker hairs, until fuzz and scanty spots begin to show. If this condition exists over a period of time, your hair follicles will collapse shut from disuse, and deadly follicle shrinkage will set in. After that It is too late. It is pathetic but true, that most bald people could have saved their hair and their looks had they acted in time . . . before follicle shrinkage was too far ad AVOID BALDNE§S-^try,; Let Hair Expat# ‘'Ifa&Sathjg M Your Scalp to Help Produce THICKER HAIR HERE ARE THt DANGER SIGNALS: If you have excessive hair ill, Tour combines, if rou have shot* weal' hairs at vour frontal hairline, if there is excessive dryness, or oilness. if your scalp is itchy, then there is some condition attacking your normal hair growth. Frankly* in most casco it is a seborrheic infection nurtnred by heavy imbedded dandruff, which chokes off the follicular tubes. The new replacement hairs are successive ly weakened until they are no longer able to force their way through to the scalp surface. WHAT ARE SCIENCE'S INSTRUMENTS TO CONQUER NATURE'S WEAKNESS? Hair Experts use the most modern trichological methods In the country to combat and replace hair loss. Ultraviolet lamp therapy, exclusive formulae created In our own labora tories, intensive professional stimula tion. and massage are all scientifical ly combined to normalise and return the scalp to healthy vigorous growth. Treatments are pleasant, and relaxing. No odorous chemicals, ointments, or greasy salves are used. Treatments are timed to suit your social, and physical requirement*..
