A BRAIN WAVE.
Bald Heads As Advertisement Hoardings. ' NOVEL LONDON SCHEME. (United Service:) V*: : . (Received 10 a.m.) LONDON, September 18. An advertiser in a London newspaper called for twelve respectable baldheaded gentlemen who would allow him to paint a typewriter advertisement on their scalps. The successful applicant* were required to attend theatres, concert halls and other assemblies where heads are usually uncovered. Each was given a personal attendant to protect him from annoyance. Thirty-five replies were received, the youngest man being 25. The chief lure appears to be the prospect of free entertainment. One applicant wrote: "My wife is. quite capable of protecting me and' \yill do so for a suitable remuneration."
