cials made known that it is not the intention of this country to use airplanes in gas attacks on cities. Besides, others hold, equip ment has not been developed for such operations.
 The experiments at Edgewood Arsenal have been confined largely to the use of mustard gas. The pilot was at first endangered but system of spraying the gas from the planes in liquid form was de- veloped. When the gas strikes the air it vaporizes and settles to the ground as a gaseous substance.
 The United States signed treaty in 1925 to not use poisonous gases in warfare, but the Senate did not ratify it. Twenty-seven of forty seven signatory nations, however agreed,

UNCONSTITUTIONAL,
 TYRANNIC METHODS"
Claims "Plalnest Dictates of Humanity Are
 Being Violated

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. B. The Wickersham Commissio o n charged the Department of Labor immigration officials used practic- es in vogue with the Inquisition Of the Middle Ages in departing aliens.
 The report was submitted yester- day to President Hoover.
 The report asserted that "uncon- stitutional tyrannic and oppressive methods were employed in the ex- animation annually of about l0O,- 900 supposed aliens"
 Hardships Wrought
 An additional report said rigid enforcement of rules in actual de- portation of about 15,000 persons annually often wrought hardships that violate the plainest dictates of humanity"
 Among others, the Committee recommended some sort of judi cial body to pass on findings Of Departmental officials, as rting that the zeal of officials as prose cutors and investigators sometimes overshadowed their judicial func- tions.
 Dissenting Opinions
 Dissenting opinions were filed by two of the Wickersham Commits sion, Col. Henry A. Anderson of Richmond, Virginia, and Kenneth Mackintosh, of Seattle, Wash. Both said, in effect, they did not believe there were such fragrant violations of the law as the report charged.

CONSERVATION OF SAL M ON IS
 ASSURED FACT
Senator White Confident O'Malley Has Solved
 SEE. Alaska Problem

Declaring that the fisheries of Southeast Alaska are apparently in excellent condition so far as he could judge from personal obser- vation in several of the areas and learn from personal contact with fishermen and other local residents, Senator Wallace M. White express ed qualification at the situation, just before leaving yesterday aft ernoon for Seattle on the Fisheries vessel Brant.
 T am confident that Commis- sioner Henry OyMalley of the Unit ed States Bureau of Fisheries, has solved your salmon conservation problem and is rapidly restoring the runs to normal size" Senator White said.
 As the author of the present Alaska Fisheries Law, popularly known as the White Act of 1924, the Senator has said he is more ! than casually interested in the Ter ritory's fisheries resources and the industry that is built up around them. During the past week, with the Commissioner, he visited almost all of the principal spawning areas in Lynn Canal. Icy Strait, Chatham Strait, Frederick Sound and Sum- ner Strait.
 He saw well-filled streams, large numbers of salmon on the beds and the main run of pink salmon still coming in from the ocean. He wis., tied canneries which were operat- ing. at capacity and still unable to clear their bins.
 Records of the Bureau of Fisher ies show the take and escapement this year, the off-cycle year, to be larger than 1929 and that year was in turn larger than in 1927 While so far this season, there has been no great surplus of fish, the runs have been good and apparent ly insure an adequate seeding of the beds for the next cycle in 1893.
 Senator White left here at 4 pm. Friday. He was accompanied by his stepson, Richard D. Lunn, Law renee Dodge, Jr., and H. G. Lum- bard. From Seattle they will proceed east.
 We have had a wonderful trip a splendid time, and we hope to return sometime in the near fu- ture for a longer stay" Senator White said

AKRON, O., Aug. 8.-TIhe flut- tering of eight white pigeons in a mammoth hangar here today will mark the passing of another mile stone in the history of American aeronautical progress.
 Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife of the nations chief executive, will re- lease the birds as she christens the giant dirigible Akron. con- structed by the Goodyear-zeppelin corporation for the United States Navy.
 The Akron is not only the larg- est, speediest and safest airship in the world, but is also one of the few in the world commissioned for military purposes.
 The Akron will make her trial flights under command of Lieu tenant Commander Charles E. Ros- endahl and 69 officers and men.
 The history of the Akron goes back to 1926 when Rear Admiral William A Moffett convinced Con- gress that lighter -than-air craft was the present-day word in the air military program of the nation
 Congress authorized the con- struction of two giant dirigibles And the government, in awarding it's contract, helped to create lighter than air industry in Amer ica.
 Work Started in 1928
 In July, 1927, contract was awarded the Akron corporation and a year later $200,000 was made available for construction. Shortly thereafter the Goodyear Zeppelin company started erection of the mammoth air dock here. Zeppelin patents held in Ger many were obtained and l3 ex- perienced Zeppelin engineers were induced to come to Akron. Among them was Dr. Karl Arnstein, world famous Zeppelin builder.

eraI times. Now. after drying the hair.
apply a dandruff lotion to the scalp.
Here is a good recipe: One dram cure
sol, one-half dram beta-naphthol, one
dram tincture Of cantharides, one dram
spirits of fornlic acid, four ounces sweet
oil and enough water to make eight
ounces. Massage the scalp for 10 min
utes. Do not merely rub the hair. but
move the scalp over the skull. Use the
lotion for five nights in succession and
on the sixth night use scalp salve.
This may be made of one ounce rose
ointment and one-half dram precipi-
tated sulphur Next day have another
shampoo with the CASTLE soap liquid
shampoo. On the following day begin
using the dandruff lotion, and use 1t for
five days. Then use the salve and have
your shampoo. I would not advise
shaving off all your hair. Be very care
full to wash and steriliZe your comb and
brushes twice a week. Some types of
hair can stand constant exposure to
the elements, but yours has evidently
suffered from the drying effects of sun
and wind. There are very powerful rays
in the sunlight which can cause damage
to hair and skin upon immoderate ex-
poSure.
Since ones general health Affects
ones hair. you should make sure that
you are not below par physically.

HOUSE HAS WINDOWS ON ALL SIDES.

With all the modern conveniences
that are featured In the latest apart
ment houses, the old-fashioned dwelling
has one great advantage over them and
that Is space. Nothing can take its
place. The woman who has lived in
both a house and an apartment will
agree with this statement. Those who
have never lived in an apartment may
feel that less room would mean less care.
Those who have lived In both know that
it is easier to keep rooms tidy and clean
when they are not overcrowded, and
when living quarters are not used for
duplex purposes. Combination rooms
are the most difficult rooms to care
for. Necessity alone is their reason.
Those who live in houses should see
that they are equipped as completely
with modern 1abor-saving contrivances
as their purses will allow. It is COM
forting, however, to realize that one
advantage is theirs over living In apart
ments, namely space. To this another
splendid feature should be added. A
house has exposures on all sides. Even
q semi-detached house has exposures on
three sides. Occasionally apartments
have this boon.

Everyday Psychology
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Imagina ton.

Imagination Is the ability to predict
While 1t goes on In the present, it looks
to the future. That part is easy to con-
ceive. But the hard part to under
stand Is that 1t also looks to the past
For what we call the future in any
philosophical sense Is merely a COM
pound of the past and the present.
Now psychology poses as a natural
science. and so must assign causes for
happenings. Here are the accepted
facts in respect to imagination:
l. Imagination is based upon sensa-
ton that which we have experienced)
2. Sensations are recorded in the
nervous system and may be revived.
3. The imagination is the sum total
Of such revivals.
4. The imaginal endowment is CO.
extensive with the sensory capacities
Imagination then Is based on some
thing natural-the nervous system
Every experience is an experience be-
cause we have nerve tissues delicate
enough to record and retain 1t. These
recorded experiences exist as modifica-
tons In the nerve tissue. That Is, they
leave traces something like those on q
photograph record, and so are readily
experiences are presented.
So you imagine only In terms Of what
you have seen, what you have heard
what you have tasted, what you have
touched, and so forth. AlIso-called In.
ventions are really combinations of re-
vived experiences.
