GOOD AT DRIVING,
 BAD AT FIGURES
Applicants for State Licenses
 File Queer Information

Judging from their own signed statements to the state motor vehicle department, not a few Connecticut motor vehicle operators evidently spent the year 1926 driving back wards. <
 On the application blanks for operators licenses appears the question, Approximate number of miles you have operated motor rehicle?" One man wrote in the space provided for an answer to this question that he had driven approXi- mately 10000 miles. The clerk be- hind the desk, in checking with his last years license, discovered :lat when he applied for a 1926 license a year ago he declared that he had driven 60,000 1piles. Another mans application showed that he had lop- ped off 5000 miles from the driving record he claimed year ago and a third had subtracted 15,000 miles from his driving experience in q year.
 On the other hand, a man whe stated in his 1926 application that he had driven approximately 10000 miles came in this year with an ap- plication saying that he had now driven a half million miles. If both applications were correct, this man must have operated motor vehicles 4SO,O00 miles in the past year, which would be at the rate of not less than 1900 miles every day of year, and, from the time he got his license to the time he applied for his 1927 license, he must have driven continuously, day and night, with no time out for meals or sleep, at rate of 54 miles an hour. His 1927 application, therefore, was q voluntary admission that he had been busy violating the motor ve- hicle laws, and yet he wrote con- spicuous No" after the question, Have you ever been convicted in this state or elsewhere of any vio- lation of the motor vehicle laws within four years? He had no men tai infirmity, according to his appli- cation.
 The motor vehicle department is refusing to accept loosely drawn ap- plications. A great many of the ap- pications received by mail are with out answers to some of the questions asked. The department sends back applications which are not complete ly filled out in every particular. It has found that some applicants who have had trouble as a result Of their driving forget" to answer the question as to whether they have ever been convicted of motor ve- hicle law violations, and some who do answer this question reveal faulty memories.
 Operators licenses for the license year 1926 expires at midnight Feb ruary 2S. People found operating motor vehicles without 1927 ope,, atoris license after that date will be considered to be driving without an operators license.

BROWN
 ON BRITISH PLAN
Criticize Handling of Chinese
 Situation

London, Feb. T CR - British la- bor's displeasure over this coun- try's attitude toward China and es- pecially the despatch of a defense force to Shanghai was emphasized anew at largely attended labor demonstration last night.
 Labor leaders discussed the Chi nese situation from all angles to prove their contention that the British government was not taking the proper course In the far east, but the climax of the meeting came when the chief speaker, for mer Premier Ramsay Macdonald, called upon the government to call home the forces now on the way to the Orient. This evoked expres- sions of appreciation from all parts of Albert hall, where the meeting was held. .r
 Previously MT. Macdonald had questioned Great Britain's right to send an army to the international settlement in Shanghai, and ex- pressed his belief that an hours friendly negotiations with Eugene Chen, the Cantonese foreign min- ister at Hankow, would be worth ''an army corps in China.' Refer- ring to the "inflammatory" speeches of the chancellor of the exchequer. Winston Churchill. he hoped they did not represent the governments policy and that they would be dis avowed hy the government.
 The weekend brought nothing startling in the way of news from China. There is no sign of resump. tion of the negotiations for set clement either at Hankow or Pek- ing. Because the Chinese New Year celebrations passed quietly and the offensive anti-British posters have disappeared from the walls of the Hankow concession. however, it is believed that there need be~no fear of an immediate recrudescence of anti-British demonstrations.
 All the newspapers feature the proposals of the American secre- tary of state, Frank B. Kelloge, urging the Chinese factions to keep the international settlement at Shanghai free from fighting in their civil warfare. The Daily Telegraph, the only paper to con- ment on Mir. Kelloggs proposals, says the exact meaning of the United States is not clear, but if the suggestion is that the rival governments in China should each undertake to forbid its soldiers to Invade the settlement, the situation would not be materially altered, as Chen has already given what amounts to such an undertaking, while the Peking government never attacked or threatened any concession.

Irresistible Beauty

Girls are so lovely when their
hair fairly entices you to touch it
and stroke its luxurious sickness.
That's why it is so noticeable when
this part of ones toilette is neglecs.
ed. There is such a decided con-
trast.
It is SO easy, too, to keep the
hair young, alive with its natural
color and so soft 1t feels like mari
bou, that there is no reason to deny
yourself this daintiest charm.
Two things win do it-your hair
brush and Danderine. Get one Of
the generous S5c bottles of Dander-
Inc from your nearest dealer, wet
your brush with a few dashes of
1t, and draw 1t through your hair
clear to the scalp, with long, even
strokes until each strand Is alive
and glowing, free from dandruff end
that oily film which only Danderine
can remove. 1t takes just a few
minutes. There is nothing greasy
about it, and it does not dry out
the hair so that you have to use
greasy things afterward to bring it
back to life.
From then on you will enjoy the
thrills which come to all girls who
keep themselves good to look at,
and you will never let day go
past without using Danderine. More
than q million girls have made 1t 4
habit. 1t will help to keep in your
waves.
