Other publications. notably those
owned by william Randolph Hearst,
who was the guest Of honor at the

show as a patriotic upheaval" and
as 'the greatest and most impress

Thompson himself described the
celebration as ''the biggest show Bill
Thompson ever put over"
1t was estimated that about 50,-
900 persons took part in the parade

The Tribune said this number
probably was disappointing to close

fortunes and indicated belief most
of those present were police or

less than half filled the stadium.

You, too, can have long, soft,
abundant hair. It's Simply a matter
of using this easy method; approved
by hair specialists; Endorsed by
stars of stage and screen; used by
millions who haven't time for the
more laboriouS treatments.
Tonight when you arrange your
hair, just put a little Danderine on
your brush. Then as you draw the
bristles through your hair, see how
the scalp is toned and soothed. See
how the hair becomes softer, easier
to manage; how it's natural color is
brought out; how it takes on new
brilliance and luSter!
Danderine dissolves the crust of
dandruff; helps stop falling hair;
keeps hair and scalp healthy; en-

abundant hair. Five million bottles
used a year. That proves Dander-

LEGGE PREDICTS
BETTER WHEAT
SITUATION SOON
Says Shortage of Corn Has
Offset 0verproduction of
Other Grain.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10.-With-
out advising any one to go long on
wheat in the Chicago pit or other
wise to speculate in the market,
Chairman Alexander Legge Of the
federal farm board predicts an i'm
proved wheat situation by January.
He has not modified in any re-
spect his belief that the Ameri-
can wheat farmer must reduce acre
age and eventually get out of the
export market.
So far as the export wheat mar
ket is concerned, Legge believes its
trend is to be downward for some
years because Of overproduction.
But I want to tell you," Legge
said, chat the corn shortage more
than has Offset the oyerproduction
in any other grain. If we fed
every busf1el we have of barley, oats
and wheat to livestock and poultry,
we still couldn't overcome that
100000, 900 bushel shortage of corn,
THAT feeding is going on right
now. Its effect will not be apparent
Immediately. The figures traders
lock at in their market operations
represent stocks of wheat in store
at the great markets. There is 9TH
er wheat in the country elevators
and on farms.
II am told farmers in the corn
belt who put their wheat in coun-
try elevators after harvesting in
the expectation of raising the nor
NAL corn crop for feed now are
hauling their own wheat back to
their farms in southern Indiana,
parts Of Ohio and Illinois.
"Sales for feeding are taking
place from farm to farm. These
operations do not register on the
market because they are unre-
ported. The stocks of grain in the
big markets will be the last drawn
upon. No one could have forecast
three months ago that we would be
so far on the way to solution of this
years wheat overproduction prob
lem at this time"
Legge's advice to the farmer is
to buy his wheat for feed now.

before he was to have been dis

operation for a minor ailment.
So sure was his own doctor and
warm personal friend, DR.
Mitchell that Miles had com.

friends throughout the afternoon.
AS his callers came and departed
one by one, many. remarked ne

physician had informed him

He drank a portion of it, and
fell back on his pillow, gaSping
for breath. DR.. Grass, who was
across the hall treating another
patient, was attracted by Mrs.
Miles screams and hurried to the
bedside. The nurse followed a
few minutes later. Hypodermics
and an oxygen tank were used as
emergency measures but without
avail.
'I found him dead" DR.. Grass
is said to have told Burkinshaw.
"His face was of a purplish black
hue and his eyeballs were protrud-

den asphyxiation."
DR.. Grass is reported to have
also told Burkinshaw that earlier
in the day Miles had complained
of slight plebitiS, a construction
of the leg tendons occasionally
associated with the after effects
Of an operation.
The symptoms were those Of
pulmonary embolism and DR..
