INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, october
22.-Now we learn what keeps so
many women young appearing
and beautiful. It is the artistry
of the barber shop, according to
the claims set forth at the fifth
annual convention of the Asso-
ciated Master BARRIERS of Amer
lea, which opened a four-day ses-
sion here yesterday. =
THE dressing of a woman's
hair makes her look 10 or Is years
younger, or a careless hairdress
may add that much to her age"
said L. E. McIlwain of Chicago,
national secretary. "A becoming
wave and a hairdress suited to
the face will make the plainest
woman attractive"
Women look better today
than they ever have, and it is so
per cent due to the barber" said
Noah Anglin, general chairman
of a committee on arrangements.
Every State in the Union Is rep
resented at the convention. Otto
Ewert of Chicago, general pres
ident, presided at today's session.

S1Q,ODO,O()O IN BANK

Police Scandal Seeking to
Discover DepoSitorS.
az the Associated Press.

Z BY the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, October 23-Dis-
! trict Attorney Monaghan, who is di-
recting a grand jury investigation of
gang murders, rum runners and police
bribery, is curious about Is bank ac-
counts in which deposits of more than
Sl0,000,000 were made in one year un-
der fictitious names.
The prosecutor said today he be-
4 1ieved the accounts we're opened by
bootIeggers and that he was endeavor-
ing to learn whether there was any
police connection with them.
Accounts in One Bank.
All of the accounts were in the Union
Bank &, Trust Co.. and with one ex-
ceptIon they were closed prior to 1928.
The one remaining after that date was
under the name of Charles Satterson.
It contained deposits of $37,098.35, all
of which was withdrawn by January
IS of this year.
John S. McCulloch, president, and
other officials of the bank have been
questioned by the grand jury, but none
of them was able to throw any light on
the identities of the depositors.
One of the accounts showed deposits
Of 1880, 1899 between April, 1925,
and January. 1925; another totaled
$1,714,616 between December, 1925, and
July, 1926; a third showed total of
S1,515,272 between July, 1925, and
February. 1927, and another S1,317,-
860.14 between January and May, 1927.
The others ranged from $4,000 to
$44,250.
Puzzled as to Identity.
aft is almost Incredible. Monaghan
said, that these millions could repose
in the vaults of bank with no one
identified. as their owners Neither
the high officials of the bank nor any
of its employees seem to be able to
explain to us who the depositors are.
We are determined, however, to find
out who deposited the money under
names which we know to be false.
1T is interesting to note that huge
sums of money have been deposited in
this same bank by the Quaker In
dustrial Alcohol Distillery, an establish
ment with which Max Boo Boo Hoff
is understood to have been closely
identified
Hoff, a manager of prize fighters,
was characterized by the district at
torney shortly after the opening of
the investigation on August 20 as king
of bootleggers." The Quaker distillery
was padlocked several months ago.
While aides delve into the bank ac-
counts, the prosecutor plans to call
several inspectors of police before the
grand jury to question them regard
ing their reported wealth.

state meeting of persons interested
in the education of the deaf, and the
second at the annual presehool insti-

In his address at the Nebraska

NATURAL GAS

An important measure Is TO
be decided by the citizens of
Omaha September Is, and we
feel confident that our people
will be found voting on the
right side. 1t is the proposition
to bring natural gas into Oma-
ha for use as a domestic and in
dustrial fuel. The great need
of Omaha is factories. All adj
nit that. The one thing which
has kept factories from locat-
ing in this city has been the
prohibitive price of fuel. Con-
sequently, factories and in
dustries which would have To-
Gated here have gone to other
cities like Kansas City, Topeka,
and Denver, where they could
get cheap fuel. Natural gas
has furnished this cheap fuel.
Omaha has the chance now to
obtain natural gas, placing this
city in a position to secure fac
torres. 1t IS as plain, there
fire, as the nose upon ones face
that it will be to Omaha's adj
vantage to get natural gas for
industrial purposes chiefly.
Therefore, our advice to our
people is to vote eyes" on the
proposition for Natural Gas,
September 25. Does Omaha
need cheaper fuel? "She sure
do" Will natural gas give us
cheaper fuel? 1t certainly
will. Do we want it? OF
course we do.

THE REMOTE AND NEAR

While there is a vast deal Of
interest manifested in the cleo
ton of the President, it must
not be forgotten that for most
of us it is far more important
who shall be the governor of
our state, the judges of our
courts and like officials, who
touch us all more closely than
does the chief executive of our
nation.
In this connection the follow
ing story is apropos: AT the
time of the election of the pres
ent Pope, an Anglican priest,
or if you will understand it bet
ter, an Episcopalian, who is a
warm personal friend of the
learned Roman Catholic priest,
asked the latter what he
thought of his holiness.
" Faith, replied he, drop
ping unconsciously into his
Irish brogue, I behave he's a
holy and good man; but be-
tween ourselves, as friends, to
tell you the truth, I'm much
more interested in who my bis
hop is than who the Pope is,

A bright and interesting wo-
man has introduced a very
clever slogan: Lets Clean Al

which liberty we apologize to

suggest these contra slogans

The President, like the Pope,
is quite remote from the COM
mon mass of people. There
are other officials, like the gov
ernor in the State and the Bis
hop in the Diocese, who come
in closer and more direct con-
tact with the people. In the
interest in the national cam
paign it is unwise to minimize
or overlook the Importance of
local, county and state officers.
