DRY CHIEF
SSTARTS
PROBE
Phenomenal Sale OF Imported
Preparation Arouses
Suspicion.

E. C. Yellowley, in again tax
ing over the reins today as chief
of general prohibition agents, will
conduct a nationwide campaign
against hair tonics, especially the
imported brands, which may be
used for beverage purposes.
VIII Probe Reports.
Yellowley stated his intention Of
making a searching investigation of
reports that the scarcity of liquor has
turned personal ''wets" to two or
able without bad effects.
His attention was called to condi-
tons surrounding the tonic question
by the phenomenal sale of these arti-
cles in a Columbus, Ohio. department
store. Yellowley accompanied Fed
eral Prohibition Commissioner Roy
A. Haynes on his recent trip to
Columbus. He was there advised that
q store advertised sale of imported
hair tonic, and the public response
was SO great that the event had to
be stopped.
To Make Them Undrinxable.
The chemical division of the pro-
hibition unit is to be asked to find
some substance which may be put
into Preparations for the hair, max
ing the liquid undrinkable. If sue
cessfu rules for manufacture will be
issued by the prohibition office.
In the meantime, Yellowley is en-
deavoring to discover whether for
eign manufacturers Of hair tonic are
acting in good faith when they ship
to the United States preparations
that are as much of a beverage as a
hair restorer.

In the afternoon Doc Durgin went

two of these coming in the eighth

DAVIS CUP IS SAFE

Forest Hills, n. Y, Sept. 3 (By A.
P)-The Davis cup. historic emblem
of International tennis supremacy, is
safe in Uncle Sans custody for an
other year. Putting to rout the OPP
position that had proved so start
lingly formidable in the first two
days of play, America swept to vic
tory this afternoon over the Austral-
ians in the final two singles contest
and captured the series by a margin
of matches to one.
Displaying a marked reversal of
the form he showed in going down to
defeat before James 0. Anderson
last Friday, William NJ Johnston
cllnched the trophy for the United
States when he smothered John b.
Hawkes. in the opening match, SO,
90, 6-1. William r. Tilden made it
clean sweep for the DAY when he
conquered Anderson, the Australian
captain, 60, 6-3, 1-6, rs, in a match
that failed to come up to the expec-
tations held out for this struggle be-
tween the Aces" Of the opposing
forces.
The crushing character Of Am

securing this country's supremacy in

anti climax 10 the gruelllHS, spec

come expecting last desperate
stand on the part of the Australians
who had proved so unexpectedly
powerful in dividing the first two
singles encounters and forcing the
doubles match Saturday to five ter
rife, record breaking sets before
bowling in defeat.
But they were doomed to disap

play was there the least uncertainty
