Her Hair Fairly SPARKLES Now!

The woman who knows what 10 10 after waving her hair doesn't ear the effect of hot irons Nor of frequent washings. A few drops of panderine-on comb or towel--and the hair is soft and lustrous, and behaves beautifully. .
 4 bit of Danderine rubbed lightly into the scalp, Is the one sure way to dissolve every particle of dan- druff. But a few drops more make a dressing that is simply marvellous, A sheen that rivals brilliantine, and no grease,
 Any permanent wave or water wave lasts much longer and looks much nicer when Danderine is used instead of water to "set" the wave.

China only recently elected a
member Of the league council,
caused a sensation today by launch
ing an 4 accusation against Great
Britain of bombardment and the
killing of Chinese on the Yangtse
River. 1t is unusual, if not un-
precedented. for one member of the
league to make charges publicly
against another from the rostrum,
especially when both belong to the
council, and this incident is describ-
ed as showing that the assembly is
becoming a real forum for airing
International grievances.
Chao-Hsin Chu alleged that on
July 6, August 2, and August 90 a
number of native ships and small
boats were wrecked by British mer-
chantmen and more than 100 passen-
gers were drowned. He added that
Chinese soldiers who sought to in
vestigate were prevented by Brit

obliged to detain the merchantmen.
On September 5, the Chinese

barded and killed 100 gendarmes at
Wanhsien, while others bombarded
the town. destroying 1000 houses
and Staying 1000 civilians, obliging
Chinese troops to return the fire in

that the situation was so serious that
if it were allowed to become worse
it would endanger the peace of the
Far East. The Chinese delegate

greeted Lord Cecil's reply.
Lord Cecil criticized Chao-Hsin
Chu for not giving previous notice
that he would raise the question. He
did not agree with Chu's statement

ter would be settled. He insisted,
however, that the Chinese statement
did not help friendly negotiations.

Tell of Progress 7
In Fight Against
Disease of Cancer

Lake Mohonk, n. Y, Sept. 24.-P
An important weapon in combat
ting cancer was made ready for use
today when the worlds recognized
! authorities on the disease put into a
single statement all the basic knowl-
edge they have on the subject.
The statement regarded as the
most important pronouncement on
cancer ever made, was adopted at the
closing session of the four day sym
postum on cancer control, which was
attended by more than 100 special
lists of the United States and several
European countries.
Points concerning the disease on
which the experts agree were incor-
porated in the statement. which is
designed for the public and the med
ical profession alike. While the basic
knowledge of cancer is admittedly
incomplete, the summary is consider
ed as a foundation on which to pro-
coed in waging warfare against the
disease.
Although the causation Of cancer
is not complete" said the statement,
sit may be accepted that for all prac-
teal purposes cancer is not to be
looked upon as contagious or infec-
tious.
Cancer itself is not hereditary al
though a certain predisposition or
susceptibility to cancer is apparently
transmissible through inheritance
"The control of cancer, so far as
this subject can be understood at the
present time. depends upon the en-
ployment of measures of personal
hygiene and certain preventative and
curative measures, the success of
which depends upon the intelligent
cooperation of patient and physician.
Persons who have cancer must
apply to competent physicians at a
sufficiently early stage of the disease,
in order to have a fair chance OF
cure.
'The cure Of cancer depends upon
the discovering of the growth before
it has done irreparable injury to a
vital part of the body and before it
has spread to other parts. Therefore
efforts should be made to improve
the methods of diagnosis in these
various locatins and the treatment of
the cancers so discovered.
The public must be taught the
earliest danger signals of cancer
which can be recognized by persons
without special knowledge of the
subject, and induced to seek compe-
tent medical attention when any of
these indications are believed to be
present.
Medical students should be taught
about cancer by the aid of actual
demonstrations of cancer patients

"That is all. Mr.. Daugherty."
After this testimony the govern
ment brought out through documents
and witnesses that Thomas W. Mil
Ter, co-defendant in the present trial,
had two accounts for $4,000 each in
the Midland National Bank as alien
property custodian, and that he had
been influential in placing another
account for $4,000 with the bank.
Nal Daugherty was recalled to the
stand to tell about this. He was
asked whether or not the accounts
had been brought to the bank I, by
ment to be the "fixer" through whom
John T. King reached" Daugherty
and Miller in his successful attempt
to obtain release of 100000 I'M
pounded enemy property for Rich
ard Merton, German metal magnate.
He admitted that Smith had been
influential in getting the business for
the bank and then Max D. Steuer,
counsel for Harry Daugherty. took
the witness for cross examination.
Under his guidance the witness said
that he had never asked any favor
of his brother while the latter was
attorney general He said he thought
it perfectly natural that he should
turn to Smith in that matter, since
he knew him we'll and was aware
that he was a close friend of the at
torney general, the alien property
custodian and of President Harding.
The $4,000 account placed with his
bank through the influence of Smith
and Miller, he said, was that Of
Stoehr and Son of New York, which
controlled the Botany Mills of Pas
sale, n. J. This was an enemy
controlled firm and was at the time
under guidance of the alien proper
ty custodian's Office.

ever, that he has been somewhat dis
appointed with regard to the pro.
ceedings Of the preliminary arms
commission, particularly insofar az
the experts committees of that gath
ering never touched upon naval mat
tiers.
The Washington government has
not lost sight Of the fact that repre-
sentatives of nations which have no
navies participated in that discus
sions and the point has been brought
out by the American delegates.
If the general conference proposed
today will include within the dis
cussion Of purely naval questions the
representatives Of non-naval powers,
there are grave doubts whether the
Washington government would par
ticipate.

Power Transmission

Breton Woods, N. H, Sept. "A
plan for the solution Of problems
arising out of the transmission OF
electric power across state lines that
would be applicable not only In New
England but IN the entire United
States, was presented to the New
England Council today by Its Power
Committee. The Committee formulas
ed its plan only after series of con~
ferences with representatives Of New
England power interests and special
representatives of the governors OF
the six New England states, but all
one of whom are members Of their
state public utilities commissions.
In q resolution presented for th9
Councils approval, the committee de-
clares that where a proposed agree
ment for the interchange OF power
between two companies becomes a
matter of interest to two or mora
states, an arrangement should and
can be made by appropriate legisla-
ton whereby the public utilities cons
missions Of such states shall have
the joint jurisdiction over the matter
in the public interest

The resolution further declares that
such step would render unneces-
sary any federal control of the power
industry of the United States. This
method often has been proposed in
recent years, and it is one that the

Commerce Hoover have sought to
