The statement continued that Mrs.
Gibsen requested empleyes of Bech te
curl her hair and te apply treatment
recommended for 11 permanent wave.
During the freatnient, it wns al
leged, the operator was cureless and
negligent" In using a defective and lm lm lm
pioperly constructed electrical machine
which was net sunnlied with proper
guards, pads nnd Insulations."
Mrs. Gibsen alleged further that the
attendants failed te use ordinary pre
cautions te nveid contact of the cur
rent of electricity between her scalp und
the heated coils' of the apparatus.
As a result. Mrs. Gibsen's statement
went en, her henil and scalp were
burned, her scnlp and the musjles of
her head were severely injured nnd be be
cume infected, and the attendants, she
said, used harmful chemicals.

"Thei are utterly absurd." she said.
"Hew can she say such things? Hew

Mrs. Bach added that the attend
ants employed by her husband arc
skilled and careful workers and that no
