Turban Comes Back
 As Afghan Headgear

Jerusalem. Jan. 90 M-In Asia's raging conflict over what the stylish young man will wear. derby hats and store clothes or turbans and tho tribal robes of his fathers, the west ern world has lost another battle.
 King Amanullah lost his Afghan throne over the pants and purdah issue. and now the Persian govern- ment has had to surrender on the subject of clothes to revolting tribes in Arabistan.
 Forcible measures by the govern ment, including a punitive expedition under General Faradshallah Khan, having proved unsuccessful, Shah Reza Khan. is attempting a settlec- ment by peaceful means. AS . gesture of peace, he has car,- celled the order making the wearing of European hats compulsory. and has contentcd himself with dec- laration that his subjects may wear either hats or turbans.
 This concession applies to govern ment officials and to all in receipt of any kind of emoluments from the state. Besides this conciliatory measure. tho government has found 1t expedicnt to make more radical concessions. The rebel tribes have been exempted from taxes and from surrenderinE their arms. and some of their chiefs have been assigned state pensions. Nevertheless, some tribes are reported continuing hos tilities.

 Washington. Jan. s3o W-A pre- liminary report of the federal trade commissions investigation into the economic phases of resale prices maintenance has been submitted to congress.
 The commission in its efforts to weigh the advantages and disadvan- tages of resale price maintenance, . system under which the manufac- turers of certain we'll known pro. ducts forbid retail merchants to sell the product below . specified price. has made an intensive study of pub lie opinion on the question. In . letter accompanying tho report. the commission said . large majority of the consuming public was opposed to the practice. while the manufac- turers and distributors, except for department and chain stores, were strongly in favor of it.

Milwaukee, Jan. 30 T-The con- yersational bromide. We aren't hav- ing the winters we used to nave" has been frozen stiff and buried un- der tons of snow in the Wisconsin and Michigan northland. ...
 Today, as word began shivering forth from entire communities that have been winterbound for days and weeks, some idea of the seasons severity was realized.
 Kewaunee. Wis. was one or the places where the oldest residents were ready to admit that never be- fore, in their memory, had there been such a winter.
 No Kewauneean was better able to attest the severity of the weather than pr. w. NJ. Wochos. At dawn, with the temperature far below zero' Dr. Wochos received a telephone call from the Eugene Beaurain home, nine miles away.
 The physician set forth in his ski-equipped motor car. only to abandon it after three miles of tedi- ous travel, bucking the heavy drifts. He started ahead on foot. founder ing slowly through the snow.
 Finally he came to farm house and phoned Beaurain instructions on how to welcome the stork should the bird arrive before he did. A snowplow was put to work to cut a path through the drifts; but even the blow was able to advance only three miles, after five hour.
 Dr, Wochos. bundled in woolens and carrying his instrument case ir many-mittened hands, pressed ahead on foot, fighting bitter cold and snow that was waist high in places. Aftel several hours he stumbled exhausted and nearly frozen into the Beaurair home.
 The stork had beaten him ant Mrs. Beaurain and . baby girl wer' doing as we'll as though the docto had been there on time.

West Palm Beach. Fla, Jan. 70 " = When Haywood Register fell mortally wounded yesterday under q leaden hail from an ambuscade or onicers. Sheriff Bob" Baker finish ed . lob he undertook four years ago when he set out to extermlnate the notorious Ashley gang.
 Register died with his boots on in best approved outlaw fashlon' with his guns blazing defiance al the officers who attempted to return him tc the state pententiary and lie sentence for murder.
 Tho last member of the gang or desperadoes, who from their hidden retreats deep in the swamps or the Everglades preyed for years on the villages along the Florida east coast escaped last December from the state penitentiary at Raiford, where he had been serving concurrent life sentences for murder and an addi- tional IS years term for highway robbery.
 Yesterday he walked into an am- bush, arranged with the aid or friend of Register who the law last Saturday held up and relieved ot s:,0OO. The friend pleaded for the return of his money, and Register agreed on the condition that he be furnished transportation to West End, in the Bahama Islands.
 The victim conferred with Pher- if Baker, and yesterday when he went to keep his rendezvous with Register near . canal at Boynton 17 miles south of here. he was fol- lowed by Baker and his deputies Baker, hidden behind . bush, call ed on Register to throw up your hands,"
 Instead. Register whirled, blaz- ing pistol in each hand. He emp tied three pistols at the five ohiceri and was attempting to draw . knife when four bullets from the posses pistols took effect.
 The Ashley gang terrorized the lower cast coast for many years committing highway robberies and holding up banks. until four year' ago. when Sheriff Baker and hii deputies surprised the outlaws al Sebastian bridge near here. In the gun battle that ensued four of the gang were killed and several cap tured.

 HUGE STANDING ARMY
CoaOoel Tells Woopco Nott0o Reates O. VOlsantoess h Tisne Of
 Natjonal Peril.

Washington, Jan. 20 N-Colonel c. B. Robbins. assistant secretary of war, told the women's patriotic con- ference on natlcnal defense today that mobilization plans of the Unit ed States army call for 4,07o,S2O officers and men for six field armies. He also told the conference that It's support could be of great benefit in carrying out the work of national defense.
 'There are at the present time 27 infantry divisions and six cavalry di- visions in the organized reserve, ne said, and the reserve corps. under present mobilization plan, is based On six field armies which calls for q total of 141,229 reserve officers.
 "The latest estimates show the number to be mobilized to fll the six field armies to be as follows:
 Enlisted men, 3.S2S,S7S. Offi- cers, regular army. 27.10S; national guard. 22,447; organized reserve, 141.22s; replacements. 55.Ss3."
 COlONek EtOUOlH8 BAtN thC SAAeSU States never had, nor is it likely to have Q large standing army, placing it's reliance upon the willingness of a sufficient number of its citizens to enter the military service in time Of emergency.
 Detailing the growth and purpose Of the national guard, the officers reserve corps, the reserve officers training corps. and the citizens mili- tary training camps. Colonel Rob- bins said these civilian components of tho army would become the great reliance of the nation in . future emergency.
 "The fact that 70 many thousands of our youth are willing to volun- tarily take the military training that they may fit themselves for the grim business of war;" he said, "is ono of the finest indications that we can have that the heart of the country is sound, that loyalty and patriotism arc not mere words. and that the continuous efforts of the paciflsts and internationalists to destroy our national defense are without avail.'

DISABLED SHIP
 SAFELY IN TOW
British FrdehtH Silver Maple
 Out Of Difficulties

Boston, Jan. 30 Rl-The disabled British freighter Silver Maple was safely in tow today. according to ra- dio dispatches, after she had drifted helplessly in heavy seas for 25O miles since last Saturday. United States coast guard cutters Tampa and Mojave reached the crippled vessel yesterday after a 300 mile dash from New England waters, and they planned to tow. her to Der muda, l1O miles away.
 Meanwhile hope was revived for the missing trawler Seiner and her crew of 20 when U. s. destroyers Shaw, Davis, and Wilkes acted on . report that a trawler rescm- bling the Seiner was seen last Sun- day 12 miles southwest of Nantucket shoals. The destroyers, assigned to search for the Seiner were informed of the report by coast guard head quarters here.
 A pilot named Hanson of the tank steamer Cities Service Empire. told the coast guard here that he had sighted a trawler apparently drift ing or at anchor. She displayed nc distress signals, he said, and he had not heard at the time that the Sein- CT was missing. The clue was re- garded here as a slender one. but il i was the first of any kind since search started several days ago foI the missing trawler, more than g week overdue at it's homo port Groton, Conn.
 safety Assured
 The safety of the Silver Maple on the other hand, seemed assured today. There was no indication that she was damaged beyond . disabled rudder. The Mojave. first to reach the freighter yesterday. parted the first tow line thrown aboard in the heavy seas but last night the Tamps reported that tho British ship wal l held fast by . hawser she sh01 aboard after the Mojave's line broke Help was on the way today to thu Norwegian freighter Tcrne, caugh' in tho ice ofI Friar's Head, Novs Scotia, for the past nine days. The government steamer Sydney was dis dispatched yesterday from Halifa, after Captain Bjorset of tho Tern, wirelessed that his ships watel supply was running low although h, had food for ten more days.
 Another ship made good its es cape from the winter perils of tn, Atlantic when the New Bedford dragger William H. Killigrew wal 1 lowed into port here by the trawlel Kingfisher after she had driftet hclplessly for eight hours last Sun day 165 miles southeast of Highlant light. A 60-mile an hour gale frs swept her nets into her propeller and then twice parted the tow lin' which held her to the Kinsfsher.

A Doctor Talks About cascara =

It is unfortunate that many people judge the thoroughness of a laxa- tive by its violence. The salts that rush through the system may not even penetrate the film of poisonous matter that has coated the colon. A long list of drugs will ''loosen the bowels" but what is the best way to CLEANSE them?
 The worlds best laxative is one that Mother Nature makes in her own laboratory. It is the bark Of a tree. called CASCARA. The In- dians used to chew this bark-anl reach old age without sick day.

Dunn Field.
L believe I have hit better in the
Cleveland park year in and year out
| than in any other park in the league" F"
says Goslin. ITO me conditions there
are ideal for batter. / know I didn't
do any hitting worth while during our
series there last month. But for all
| time feel certain that have a bigger
batting average for Cleveland than for
| any other park. I generally am able
| to keep my eye on the ball from the
time it starts to the plate. The back
painted wall in Cleveland enables me
to DO so. Yes, sir; it's just fine there
for free-swinging batter.
Chicago has a park l like, too, al
| though 1 do not consider it quite as
good as Cleveland for me. But it's a
great hitting park. It has almost a
| perfect background. There are no signs
anywhere, the only markings on the
stand walls being the electrically lighted
Scoreboards back of left and right
fields, and they do not annoy me. Nor
do they annoy other batters, from what
they tell me-
Leads in Boston This Year.
The Goose has done his best hitting
in Fenway Park here this year. In the
| three games the Nationals have staged
with the Red SoX here this season up to
today Goslin has. banged for an average
of 500. In Philadelphia in six games
he hit for .370, while in three games in
| New York he averaged .353 at bat. His
hitting in the West last month was
nothing much. But, then the Goose
was in terrible slump. He batted .286
in the two games in st. Louis, 273 in
three games at Chicago, $50 in three
Cleveland engagements and measly
| .l67 in the three Detroit tits.
The Goose has done most of his long
hitting outside of Washington this sea-
son. All his seven hof1ers were slammed
on foreign fields. Two were hit in Phil
adelphia, two in New York, one in
Cleveland, one in Detroit and one in
St Louis. Two OF his three triples were
hit away from Washington. Only in
double swatting has he done better on
the home lot, of his 13 two-baggers to
date having been made in Grif1th sta
| diun1.
At home or away from home, this
has not been q very bright year for
Goslin at bat. But perhaps he soon
may soar in the batting lists During
the Nationals recent home stand he
hit for .341 in % games, which may
mean he is about to put himself in the
| batting race again

Poor BACKGROUND in Griffith Stadium Reduces Hitting Ability

Schmeling had things his own way. He
cut Pauline cruelty with q left hook
and shot over his right with linerring
precision. Pauline suffered cuts about
both eyes and bled freely from the
mouth. Right after right was pumped
into Paulino's broad jaw without
let-up. Pauline stood his ground man
fully and when the going got hottest
Pauline fought back harder. But the
Basque's best were not equal to Schmel-
ings better aim. There was hardly
little difference In the heft Of the
punching power except that the Ger.
man Jack Dempsey propelled his blows
more accurately and as consequence
scored damagingly.
Pauline was a sorry sight when the
battle terminated. 1t is a good thing
for him that he covered up as well as
he did Schmeling fred rapidly with
both hands and although he could not
score knock down, Pauline went down
to glorious defeat.
Schmeling won all the praise OF the
huge gathering and will be an even
money shot to whip Jack Sharkey next
September.
