Professor Unna, Of Germany. and
DIR. Sabouraud, the great French
Dermatologist, claim that a mi
crohe causes badness, and their
theory has been verified by eminent
scientists. This microbe destroys
the hair follicles, in time causing the
scalp pores to close and the scalp to
become shiny. Then, it is believed
nothing will revive the growth. III
treated before this occurs, badness
may be overcome.

Some Very Interesting Facts About the Ford

At a meeting of the Adcraft club in
Detroit, Mich, last week, N. A. Haw

Ford Motor Co., gave an interesting
talk on what it means TO manufacture
200. 600 complete motor cars in twelve
months. His story, bristling Will
figures. was full of the omance oil
business. Ten years age the company
was capitalized at S2S, 900 and did al
annual business of 5000, 600. Today
it is the largest motor car factory in
the world; has capitalization of $50,
900 600 and sells annually 5000, O00,
900 worth of cars in all the world.
The January sales of Ford cars
said Mr.. Hawkins, ''were nearly 50.
900. 900 for the month or more than
twice the gross receipts of the Grand
Trunk railway system for the same
month. In the last four months we
did a business Of nearly $50, 900. 00(
and two of these four months were not
real good ones. He further stated
The Ford is an organization Of young

Throughout the Affected Territory.
st. Louis. April 11.-Imperative and
prompt measures to prevent floods
along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers
and their tributaries were urged by
Isham Randolph In an address before
the National Drainage congress. MI.
Randolph held that the regulation of
the food waters necessarily was a
federal duty and he suggested that
eventually a new member of the cabi-
net to be at the head of a federal de-
partment OF public works would be
necessary. He said in part:
Owing to its conformation there
are vast stretches of our country
where an increase of channel capacity
affords the only method OF preventing
flood damage, and the method of Sc
curing this increase can be wisely de-
termined only after the conditions are
fully known. There are floods to be
cared for OF such vast volume that
securing channel capacity by excava-
ton Is a task too prodigious 10 be con-
sidered. In cases of this kind the only
method of keeping the waters from
spreading over the vast area is by
building on each side of the stream

that the necessarily heightened food
plane will not oyertop them.
Cost Would BE Millions.

cost OF a reservoir system which would

and Monongahela rivers would be $40.

Not only would this expenditure say

the Ohio the food plane of the Missis.
