Varney, who is president of the

given the most difficult type of
work.
Among the duties which he
began today was investigation of
complaints concerning the police
department, which are made to
the Commissioners.
General Crosby said that he
did not wish to interfere in any
manner with the usual rouNne of
the poloce in handling investiga.
tions.
Varney was said to have been
chosen for the position of special
assistant and investigator because
he was considered to be inde-
pendent Of any clique or group
in the police department. He
is a veteran of the United States
Navy and was appointed to the
force in 1922.

The trouble calls for the use Of warm
oil treatments, the use Of an astringent
hair tonic, as we'll as frequent sham
poos, and for regular, but light, mas
sage and brushing. In brushing this
type of hair, use the forward, upward
strokes, so that the air may penetrate
and get to the scalp. Sun baths and
air baths are very beneficial.
Before the shampoo apply warm oil
and leave 1t on the hair and scalp half
an hour or more. Shampoo the hair,
using reliable liquid shampoo mixture,
such as liquir soaps containing tar, olive
oil or coconut oil. Rinse the hair
thoroughly in several waters and dry
between warmed towels. Before the hair
is quite dry apply an astringent hair
tonic and finish drying the hair by
massaging with the finger tips, giving
the hair and scalp an air and sun bath
if possible. The general health also
needs to be improved. Usually highly
strung people have excessively oily hair
