lieves nothing will be lost by proceed
ing with caution.
What Bill Provides
The subsidy bill would provide for
the American public, through tribute
to American ship operators, paying
whatever sums might be necessary to
give operators minimum annual
profits of 10 per cent.
Vessels now owned by the Govern
ment would be sold to private op-
orators under terms allowing fifteen
years payment with per cent in
terest on unpaid balances.
A loan fund Of 1925, 100000 would
be established from which private
ship owners could borrow two-thirds
of the money necessary to build new
vessels.
Such loans would be made for f1f-
teen years and 2 per cent annual in
terest.
Owners of American merchant ves-
sells. in computing net income for
taxation, would be permitted to de-
duct a sum equal to the income de
rived from operation in foreign trade,
provided they invest double the
amount of the resulting saving in
taxes in building new vessels in Amer
lean yards.

Voters are insisting the situation has
been allowed to drift too long and
legislators realize that a continuation
not only will mean physical and eco

Will result in political embarrassments.
From one end of the country to the
other folks are worrying over the
winters coal supply. And the worry
is two-edged. First, will sufficient
coal be available? Second, will 1t be
available at reasonable prices?
Complaints are already causing
grave concern to legislative candidates
for office.
Unless a radical change comes over
the situation, the House is expected
to talk right out in meeting" when
it reconvenes Aug. Is. President

There are two forms of dandruff.
One is attended with scaling or crusts
and drying of the scalp. In the other
form, the scales unite with oil from
the scalp and form a crust over the
head This is the form that causes
badness.

ing .spread by promiscuous use of the
comb and brush.
Debility, constipation ard other con-
ditions that undermine the health are
future causes of falling hair.
AS badness increases, dandruff
lessons. The disease is one of early
life, coming usually between the
twentieth and thirtieth years. Both
sexes lose their hair from dandruff.
though women rarely become bald, as
do men.
Heredity also has something to do
with badness. One does not inherit
badness, but an individual often in
herits a weak muscled scalp.
With men the shape Of the hat has
much to do with the shedding of hair.
Stiff hats should be blocked to the
exact shape of the owners head so
as not to press too tightly at any one
spot.
Scalp massage is effective in pre-
venting badness. 1t must be done
at least once a day and two or three
times will do no harm.

Americas Foremost Radio Authority.
Until the recommendations of the
recent conference on radio telephony
at Washington are enacted into law,
it seems that we are in for some fric-
ton between competing broadcasting
stations.
There seems to be considerable diff,

AS a matter of fact. those inter
ests which provide the highest quality
of program will eventually WIN out
over those content to supply the pub
lie with canned music.
Open competition for the.public ear,
without interference or congestion, is
the thing which will bring out the
best in broadcasting.
A great deal is expected from the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, which has announced it
will enter the broadcasting field from
its new station. WBAY.
1t is understood the A. T. & T.
originally failed to get into the reg
ular broadcasting field as a result of
its inability to obtain a license to
operate a toll broadcasting station on
wave length of about 435 meters.
However, this station, which is in
tended for commercial broadcasting
has been assigned temporarily, a wave
length of $50 meters.
Hours Assigned
This does not permit simultaneous
operating on the same wave length
in the New York area. AS con-
sequence, certain hours have been
assigned to the stations in the New
York district.
While radio advertising has not as
yet been prohibited by laws or regu-
lation, it is considered, in the public
interest, that applicants should pro-
vide programs Of general interest.
In this way it is expected that con-
siderable publicity will accrue to the
renter and a very high-class program
will be broadcast. 1t is doubtful
whether any of the great merchandise
ing companies would care to have
their names associated with anything
other than first-claSs entertainment.

Uncle Sam is throwing colonies. ma

When Congress last month looked

in the Army. while there were thou
