Answer-Massaee your scalp and
brush your hair thoroughly every night
and morning. Use q clean brush with
fairly long bristles that win penetrate
through the hair. The massage should
be systematic and vigorous. DO not
rub the surface of the skin, however,
but move the scalp itself, 80 as to
exercise the muscles and stimulate the
flow of blood through the scalp use
mild liquid shampoo to wash your
hair at regular intervals. Rinse well
and use weak henna rinse to bring out
the auburn tintS in your color of hair.
The henna rinse will color the gray
hairs also.
CD You may use the scalp tonic
that you refer to two or three times q
week. The oil treatment before the
shampoo will be helpful also, as your

GANDHHS CUSTOMS
TO AFFECT FARLEY
Mondays to Be Meditation
DayS-Indian Refuses
to Wear Pants.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KARACHI, India, April g. When
Gandhi goes to London to attend the
Second Indian Round Table Conference
the British government will have to
meet several embarrassments in dealing
with him.
In the first place, it would appear
that there can be no session of the con-
ference on Mondays of each week. since
that is the day Gandhi religiously OBJ
serves his 24-hour period of silence and
meditation.
Then provision will have to be made
for Gandhi to squat, or sit on his
launches, on the floor of st. James
Palace in his accustomed Hindu fashion.
He will undoubtedly bring his beloved
clark, or spinning wheel, because he
is at his best as negotiator and talker
when he concentrates his attention on
spinning yarn.
Sir Bahadur Sapru, Gandhi's friend
and prominent Indian liberal. has sug-
gested that Gsndhi discard his goSsa-
mer loin cloth for pants at the confer
ence, but Gandhi has refused, saying
that he could never accustom himself
to trousers. a stiff shirt, white collar
and tight shoes
Gandhi's solution as to escaping the
crowds, to whom he Is certain to be a
great curiosity. is that he will arise
every morning at o'clock and steal
away to the outer world before anybody
else is up, and at night walk through
the streets to his home when all London
is dark and silent.

NEW SCHEME FOR RAISING
 OF ISLANDER
Steel Cables to Girdle Sunk en Craft s Hull to
 Garry 1t Ashore
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)


 Raising of several of the 160 known major wrecks in Alaskan waters with a probable attempt at lifting the Lusitania, .torpedoed off Ireland, to the surface is the am bilious goal of Frank Curtis or Curtis Brothers, Seattle house nov CTS, should his plan of salvaging the Islander prove successful.
 Curtis, who is said never to have failed once he undertook 8 job, has signed a contract with E. H. and H. s. Wiley of Seattle and Olympia, who already have recov- cred some gold from the sunken ship through a patented diving bell.
 The Islander sank August 15, 1901, with a loss of seventy-two lives. She is reported to have carried up to $3,O0o,o00 in gold dust.
 Buying Equipment
 Curtis expects to place a con- tract for about $6O,0oO worth of equipment within the next few days.
 This will include 30,000 feet of one and one-eighth-inch blow steel cable, 10000 feet Of one-inch cable and forty hand winches that will lift ten tons each Gables will be placed under the ship by means of the diving bell, twenty to each side and leading to a barge 45x285 feet.
 The winches will cinch up the cables at low tide, and Curtis fig ures that the barge then will lift the hulk as the tide rises.
 Tow Toward Shore
 Then barge and submerged ship will be lowed toward shore until the ship grounds. When the tide again goes out the process will be repeated. By this means it is ex- pected that the ship can be worked into shallow water and the gold re- covered
 If the hull can be floated he plans to bring it here for exhibi- ton.
 Curtis has handled many difficult jobs in the past few years, moving ships across country, shifting brick buildings and the like. His last major job was the moving of a large gold dredge a mile and half across the Nome tundra. He com pleted this last winter.
 Work of raising the Islander is to start about May l, he said.
 The Empire recently carried an Associated Press dispatch that Cur tis Brothers would attempt to raise the Islander this year.

women and five young men. All persons interested in having roles are requested by Mrs. Ranum to meet at Mrs. Rockers Coffee Shoppe at o'clock Wednesday evening, April 1.
 The dramatic studio, in addi- tion to it's courses in acting, stage management and play coaching, will also teach dramatic reading and public speaking, if there are sufficient enrollments for these classes.
 Mrs, Ranum, who is staying at the zynda Hotel, has lived in Alaska since the summer of 1928 For two years, she taught school at McGrath on the Upper Kusko- kwim River. While there, she wrote an Alaskan novel, which will soon be published. She is now completing a second book.
 She is a Bachelor of Arts gradu- ate of the University of Nebraska, class of 1922, and subsequently, took graduate work there. Her. native state is Nebraska. She fol- lowed dramatic work in Nebraska and has produced plays of all types there.
