BY ROBERT KEASER

G.N.SO.-T was riding along Old
York road in a car with my
brother, John, 16, and two friends
Max RiSkin, 81, and Lance
Smith, 39-when Just outside Of
Doylestown he noticed a man
standing in the middle of the
road waving for us to stop.
Lying in the road in front of
the headlights of the mans auto
mobile we saw what appeared to
be the body of a man on the
shoulder of the road. We stopped
our car and jumped out.
Editors note: The man who
discovered Milne and signaled the
four others was S. R. Gerhart, a
Philadelphia salesmanD
When we got up close we saw
the man was alive, but securely
bound.
There was adhesive tape over
his mouth, eyes and face. His
hands were tied and bound to his
knees, doubling him up almost
into a ball.
We pulled the tape from his
face and cut the ropes with
which he was tied and then asked
him his name. He made several
attempts to talk before he was
able to mutter Milne" I asked:
"Are you Caleb Milne, the
fellow who was kidnapped"
He said:
eyes"
Then we knew we had found
the kidnap victim and we carried
him to the other mans car. We
got back in our car and fol-
lowed it to Doylestown where we
got a doctor and told State
police.

He is assistant director of the Blu
reau of Investigation, working di-
rectly under Edgar Hoover. He
is said to have played an impor-
tant part in solving the UrSchel
kidnapping in Oklahoma and break
ing the Kelly-Bates gang.
R. George Harvey, chief of the
Philadelphia bureau was here
with three agents and two of the
Omen were reported to be from
Chicago.
A mob of curious milled around
in the cold outside the little hos
pital, a former two-story home.
Photographers flashbulbs pop
ped in profusion and sound cam
eraS went into action when
Mines mother and his two broth
ers, Frederic and Aubrey arrived.
None of the family was COM
municative. An uncle Of the kid
mapped youth, Warren Milne, re-
fused to say whether ransom was
paid.
The youth, who disappeared
from his apartment in New York
city on Saturday morning. was
found by S. R. Gerhart, travel
ing salesman, who, by an odd
coincidence, lives within 10 blocks
of the home of Mines grand
father in Philadelphia.
He was driving from Scranton
to Philadelphia when he saw the
huddled form of young Milne
lying in the ditch.
Bringing his car to a stop, Ger
hart lifted the youth into the
back seat and rushed him to the
office of DR.. Bradford Green in
Buckingham. four miles away, and
then notified State highway
police.
DR. Green stripped layers Of
tape from the victims eyes and
lips while Gerhart cut the rope by
which the youths wrists were
bound to his knees.
After a cursory examination,
DR.. Green ordered him rushed to
the hospital.
On the way to the hospital
Milne began numbling incoher-
emily:
milne Milne. Milne!"
Chief of Police James WEIGH,
of Doylestown, and Trooper Strick-
land of the State police identified
him from newspaper photographs.
WEIGH announced that the vic
TINS camel-hair topcat, which
had been bound to him by sew
eral pieces of Irvine, was badly
torn. WEIGH believed the coat
was torn when the kidnapers
tossed him from their car.
The victim vanished from the
New York apartment which he
shares with a younger brother,
Frederic Milne, after receiving a
telephone call early Saturday
from a "Dr. Green Of Oracle
SQUARE" DIR. Green" told the
youth his grandfather was Ill IN
Philadelphia and that he was to
accompany him there.
Milne left the apartment after
leaving a note for Frederick tell
ing about the phone call.
The following day Frederick
Milne received a letter, post
marked "Poughkeepsie, N. Y"
advising him his brother was be-
ing held for $4,000 ransom.
A subsequent ransom demand
was reported made direct to the
victims grandfather in Phila-
delphia.

HEALTH, BEAUTY

Keep Young And Beautiful If You
Want To Be Loved
FALLING HAIR
It's Preventive and Cure

Some n has said that ian ounce
OF prevention is worth q pound Of
cure. We find this saying very
true in the treatment Of falling hair
It is so much easier to keep . healthy
head Of hair beautiful than it is to
grow . beautiful head Of hair with .
diseased scalp.
In order to understand the princi-
plea underlying the Treatments that
stop falling hair and that leads to the
production Of = new growth Of hair.
We should learn what the hair is, and
how the hair grows. We are then in
. position to know when we can ex-
pect results and why.
The hair consists of q shaft which
begins beneath the surface Of the
skin and projects above and is, there
fore, an out growth from the cuticle.
From the bottom Of the hair follicle,
we find the papilla or mother" Of the
hair. It is from the Papilla that the
new hair is created, as it is here we
find the nerves and blood vessels.
The sebaceous or oil glands empty
into the hair follicle. II the duct
which leads from the sebaceous gland
to the hair follicle becomes clogged
or stopped up, we must not expect a
healthy head of hair.
We should mention the Arrector
muscle, which is located just below
the Sebaceous gland. This muscle
does just what the name implies. It
holds the hair shaft in place.
Perhaps you r wondering just
why we have gone so much into detail.
When the Sebaceous gland, the Pa
pilla and Arrector Muscle are doing
their work as they should, we have a
disease free scalp and the result, a
beautiful head of hair.
Ito be continued next week.
