OneTubeRadio.com is a full-service blog. While we endeavor to bring radio history to life, we’re also on the lookout for other helpful information, and today, we offer a beauty tip that’s in danger of being lost to the ages.

One hundred years ago today, the October 15, 1925, issue of the San Antonio Light newspaper carried this helpful hint for young women to stay beautiful. According to unnamed beauty experts, “making faces will keep girls young and sweet.” The technique is demonstrated by Kathrin Hatch.

But Miss Hatch probably kept beautiful by also listening to the radio, and this same issue of the paper showed that one could regain health with the radio. According to Major John W. Sherwood of Fort Sam Houston, the base hospital was to be wired for radio. 800 headphones were to be placed in hospital rooms, and loudspeakers would be placed in recreation rooms. More than five miles of wire would be used, and the installation would take about two weeks.
