MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that
every movie actress you have seen
has lovely hair. while the most
popular count their curls as their
chief beauty? In fact, many arc
leading ladies just because Of their
attractive looks. Inquiry among
them discloses the fact that they
bring out all the natural beauty OF
their hair by careful shampoOing,
not with any soap or makcshift,
but with simple mixture by putting
a teaspoonful Of canthrox (which
they get from the druggist in q
cup Of hot water and applying this
instead Of soap. This full cup Of
shampoo liquid is enough SO it Is
easy to apply it TO all the hair
instead Of just the top of the
head. After its use, the hair dries
rapidly with uniform color. Dan.

Vandals Start
Blaze During
Big Dry Raid


Vandals set fire to big auto truck
yesterday afternoon in the course of a
$250,00o Hqucr raid on the four-story
garage and warehouse of the Franz
Trucking and Rigging Company, 13o
West Third Street. Hundreds Of chill
dren appeared in tho crowd which
packed the street in front Of the ware
house. Their lives were endangered
and they hampsred iremcn at their
work.
The crowds had to be beaten back
by police reserves, while two big motor
vans Of the Knickerbocker Warehouse
Company, drawn up to remove the
liquor stores, were backed into the
Franz garage out of the way of the fire.
The flames from the blazing truck set
ire to the Sixth Avenue elevated rail-
road structure. Firemen extinguished
the blaze there with chemicals.
The raid at the Franz place was the
second within week on information
which it is believed was obtained from
witnesses before the Federal grand
jury, which is making an investigation
Of alleged liquor conspiracies. 1t is

charge Of the Franz raid, that alcohol
was being shipped out of the place in
boxes, which closely resembled those
used to enclose cohins. Several of these
boxes, packed with Ave gallon cans of
grain alcohol. were found on the third
floor of the building.
Tenants of the building, other than
the Franz company, are suspected and
evidence is said to tend to show the
Franz company has no guilty knowl-
edge of the alleged transactions which
caused the raid. Among the liquor
stores found in the place were 500 gal
Ions Of grain alcohol, 1000 cases of
whisky, 300 cases of champagne and $50
barrels of red italian wine. None Of
this liquor was removed up to late
hour although seven agents had been
in possession Of the premises since
early yesterday morning. The reason
for this is that Benjamin strumpf, al

Yet there Is nothing ignominious about
the ship being discarded, for when she
appeared In 1900, sister ship of the

greyhounds Of the Atlantic, her twin

and her home port.
= Both Wartime Transports
La Lorra;ne's gross tonnage, t1,373,
exceeded the tonnage Of La Touraine
by about 5000. The former is 563 feet
in length, whereas the latter is $40,
and both were built in st. Nazaire for
the Compacnie Generate Transatlan-
tique. La Touraine created sensa-
tion in this ,ort for her magnificence
when she arrived on her maiden voy-
age in 1892. La Lorraine, although eight
years her junior, with all her luxuri-
Gus accommodations, could never take
away the glamour Of the older vessel.
Too day they are known as one-class
boats, and, due to the immigration re-
strictions Of this countrv. could hardly
make themselves pay. During the war
both were used in the service of their
country as transports and carried
American troops.
The Legrasse, which will be some
what similar to the Paris, of the
French Line, is now under construc-
tion and she will be augmented by the
Leopoldina. which is being recondi-

four large and speedy ships between
New York, Plymouth and Havre, IN
cluding the France and Paris.
Captain Marius Aubert, who has
navigated the Lorraine for many years,
will take her out on Saturday, leave
his passengers in Havre and then take
her to her last port, Genoa, where she
will be dismantled and scrapped. Cap

Another point about which there is
considerable discussion in Washington
is that of the large liquor shipments
which come regularly to American
ports consigned to foreign embassies
and legations here. The claim has
been made since the Daugherty deci
sion was rendered that these ship
ments will be cut off. Mr. Haynes

Secretary Weeks and other officials for
review before being signed. All these
officials, he explained. had taken part
in the drafting,
"There is no doubt whatever in my

~ presume that would depend on
a mans point Of view," Mr.. Armour
said.
Mr.. Armour defended speculation in
grain and the marketing machinery
which makes it possible because the
farmer is afforded an opportunity to
sell his produce on any day of the
year in all open market. The producer
does not always get the price he is
entitled to- he admitted, but on the
average, he said, the farmer benefits
by the system.
His views on the speculative market
were brought out by Mr.. Murdoch, who
asked:
"Do you believe, from your own OBJ
servation, that the speculative plan of
the future market gives the producer
square dealf"
Mr.. Armour weighed the question
for moment and then said:

would buy wheat until he had it sold

War if Congress Gets
Turk Issue, Says Lodge
Senator Asserts u. S, Is Ready
TO Join Powers in Sending
Commission TO Near East

STOCKBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 11.-Sen-
ator Henry Cabot Lodge. speaking at
the annual gathering arranged by Con
gressman Allen T. Treadway here to-
day, said that if President Harding
should refer the Turkish issue 20 Con-
gress there would be declaration Of
war, which he was confident the people
of the United States do not want.
Senator Lodge said that three things
have been done in the Near East issue:
protection of American lives and prop
ertv freedom of the Straits and pro-
lection of racial and religious minori-
ties, and this country is ready to join
with other powers in commission to
meet in Asia Minor.
"Our duty is to stand behind the
President" said the Senator, 81 believe
the United States can render the best
service by acting with entire indepen-
dence. But, if war should come, the
United States would not fail, as it
never has. It's mission is to promote
peace for all mankind"

continued. "No sir, nothing notice
able"
Mr.. Murdock attempted to learn
whether Mr.. Armour leases" in or
out of market through small lot
purchases or sales, or whether he ac-
cumulates his long or short line, as
the case may be, in large lots, but
after considerable sparrinr the best
he was able to learn was, that de-
pends upon circumstances.
Trades on Market Conditions
"You have no theory of trading. bu.
watch the market, is that 2" an ex-
aminer asked. ~ wouldn't say that
the witness cautiously replied.
"Well how do you determine what to
do?" Judge by general conditions
just as you would in buying or sell
ing land or anything else"
Mr. Murdoch brought out that Mr.
Armour gives little personal attention
to his market operations, leaving the
details mainly in the hands of Mr.
Marcy or other associates or subor-
dinates.
