HOW TO CHECK
LOOSE DANDRUFF
and SCALP ITCHING

When your clothing is showered
with loose dandruff scales, it's time
to do something about it. Skin
specialists say that excessive dam
druff is one of the important causes
Of hair loss.
Two things can be done to check
loose dandruff:
First. shampoo once a week (of-
tener if necessary to keep the
scalp free from oiliness or crust
ing, using a rich lather of mild
Rssinol Soap and rinsing thor
eughly.
Second, fne-comb the scalp twice
weekly so as to remove loose dam
druff scales. Then part the hair
carefully and apply Resinol Oint-
ment to the scalp, rubbing it in
gently. Persistent use Of this treat
ment for a reasonable time usually
brings pleasing results.

He had been cruising across the South
Pacific to look into q possible plane

Green, who has written movies Of

tidal wave and the fictitious Sadie
Thompson. for whom an inn in Page
Pago has been named.
He went down to the island with
q party to determine whether "the
hurricane" should be shot at Samoa or
somewhere else. He stayed at the
naval establishment, near the quarters
of Capt. Milne, whose word Is law in
the islands.
What he says goes" Green learned.
IF Washington doesn't like it, it's

anything about it. The Navy De-

Thrills Of Pugo Page Told

Heavy Rains, COn,dr.
Green Says.

From the emerald isolation Of Page
Pago, In the South Seas, where an
American naval ofncer Is almost an
absolute monarch. and where the rain
beats 20 hard that Somerset Vaughan
wrote Q play about it, Lieut.. Comdr.
Lucien B. Green, U. 8. NJ, retired,
arrived In Washington today to report
that the most important treasures to
the carefree Polynesians are canned
salmon and Navy regulation UNDER
shirts.
Green, who lived here three years
ago as aide to Admiral Henry Butler.
commandant of the Navy Yard, went
down to Samoa In October aboard the
Monterey to look into the possibilities
OF doing q picture for Samuel Gold
wyn on THE Hurricane" which was
bought from Nordhon and Hall, the
authors Of "Mutiny on the Bounty"
These writer's live few hundred miles
from Samoa, at Tahiti.
A month later Green caught the
Monterey on its way back to the
United States from New Zealand.
There were times when he and his
fellow passengers doubted whether
they would ever reach the continent.
The Pacific maritime strike was in
full blast and. as it happened. the
Monterey was the last American trans
Pacific ship to dock in q Western
port. The white men through the
South Sea Islands have no hopes of
receiving Christmas presents, waiting
IN ships which do not leave their
docks.
Destination Was Unknown.
I'VE didn't know when we left Pago
Pago II we were headed for San Fran
cisco or Los Angeles, or whether we
would stop in Hawaii" Green said.
I'VE kept getting conflicting orders
from the Strike Committee on what
to do Finally we were told to head
for Hawaii to pick up 500 stranded
men and women.
We came near Honolulu one morn
ing at $50 O'Clock. But the fog was
SO thick that we did not enter the
harbor. Soon the weather blew q gale
and the captain Of the Monterey kept
his boat moving on Honolulu until
$50 that night-always just outside
the 3-mile limit, 50 that any untoward
move by the sailors would be mutiny
instead Of q strike.
Finally a pineapple barge ploughed
out to the ship with the 500 persons.
In the heavy sea the barge and the
ship were lashed together, q gangway
was thrown down and the throng be-
gan to climb aboard. It was q wild
night. Women tainted, and most of
the passengers felt pretty ILL.,"
In Honolulu harbor nine ships were
stranded, and the 5000 seamen who
made up their crews were idle in
Hawaii with nothing to do and no
money. So the members Of the crew
OF the Monterey took up a collection
for their colleagues. put the money in
canvas bag and entrusted it to
Harold Gatty, the man who toured
the world by plane with Wiley Post.
Gatty took the money ashore and
beat the Monterey to San Francisco.

NORBECK SUCCESSOR
QUESTION HELD UP
Funeral Services for Late South

PIERRE, S. OAK, December 23.-
The question of who will succeed the
late United States Senator Peter
Norbeck was sidetracked temporarily
yesterday while State officials attend
ed the funeral of the late Republican
leader, who will be buried today near
Platte, his former home.
Gov. Tom Berry. mentioned most
prominently in speculation which fol-
lowed the Senator's death, main
tanned silence concerning plans to I'LL
the vacancy. Lieut.. Gov. Robert Pc
terson, facing embezzlement charges
in connection with a bank failure, was
firm in his decision not to resign.
Peterson would have the power of
appointment If Berry should decide
to resign to accept the senatcrship.
Funeral services were held at Our
Savior's Lutheran Church at Redfield
for Senator Norbeck. All business
houses were closed for a half hour.
A final tribute will be paid to Sen
ator Norbeck at Platte tomorrow, when
the body will be inferred in the
Bloomington Church Cemetery.

King Arthur's Court. This was the
twentieth century and countless gen.
erations had come and gone in the
shadow of London Tower since knight
hoods flower was supposed to have
withered and died. But as listened
to the eager words Of these loyal Eng
lishmen. I could not help but vision
. field Of honor with plumed horsemen
in armor straining to shatter . lance
with any foe in defense Of their
King.
After nearly two hours Of unanimous
agreement that nothing could be
worse than abdication, the members
of this conclave asked those Of US who
were in communication with the King
to convey their assurances of fealty,
whatever road he might choose to
travel.
New Cabinet Proposed.
Names Of a possible new cabinet
had been canvassed, and the platform
on which such candidates might ap-
peal to the country in q general elec-
ton defined. Because of the COM
mitments made before entering the
meeting, I cannot reveal these pro-
posals.
The situation implied by this meet
ing was precisely what Edward want
ed to avoid. II he allowed his sup
porters to carry the issue to the people.
he might well have won the right to
marry the woman he loved without
giving up his throne. But this, he
felt, would have precipitated q crisis
beside which the furry over his pos
sible abdication paled into insignifi-
canoe.
He knew the forces arrayed against
him-the hierarchy Of the Church Of
England. the government Of Stanley
Baldwin and all the element Of ultra
conservatism voiced in a powerful Sec
ton of the British press. He knew
his own strength-the poor that he
had befriended, the soldiers who had
fought beside him, the common peo-
pie Of England, to whom the idea Of
q commoner Queen was eminently ap-
pealing.
He was not afraid of defeat, but of
victory. A Arm believer in q consti-
tutional monarchy, he felt that popu-
lar acclaim might lift the crown to a
height both unwise and unsafe for
the empire.
And so, in those four hours at Fort
Belvedere, he stood his trial with
Wallis Simpson. Those who may
condemn his choice must at least re-
alize it was made in all sincerity, in
all honor, and, as he saw 1t, in the
best interests of his people.

MARITIME PEACE
CONFERENCE SET
Moves Practically Dead
locked-McGr Grady Delays
Return Here.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, December "a
As each side blamed the other for
blocking settlement, peace moves prac-
tically were at standstill today In
the Coast maritime strike, affecting
nearly 10000 men and estimated by
employers to have cost 1886, 900 900
to date.
Assistant Labor Secretary Edward F.
McGrady temporarily abandoned plans
to return to washington for Christmas
after announcing ship owners and
licensed deck officers would confer
today on possibilities of renewing ne
gotiations in the 55-day deadlock.
A spokesman for the maritime fire.
men said they would not vote on
whether to accept q tentative agree
ment until proposals were ready for
other striking unions. Sailors left in
definite the date on which they will
take similar vote.
Bridges Is Accused.
T. G Plant, spokesman for the on
shore shippers, accused Harry Bridges,
West Coast Longshoremen's president,
Of blocking settlement and attributed
to him the remark that there can be
no Coast peace until striking Eastern
seamen win their demands.
Bridges promptly denied any such
stand. He said mo smoke screen"
can be big enough to conceal those
really responsible for prolonging the
strike"
After weeks of negotiations" said
Plant, I'VE are convinced that only the
highly arbitrary attitude of Mr..
Bridges and a few of his close asso-
ciates prevents settlement. 1t is
high time that the public infinitely
examined his motives.
1T Is regrettable that in the face
of reasonable hopes for an early agree
ment Bridges descends to the level Of
q mere wrecker."'
Ship Owners Blamed.
Bridges, recognized leader in the
powerful maritime federation Of the
Pacific, charged ship owners were at
tempting to disrupt union cooperation
by demanding separate votes on the
tentative agreements.
THE only questions regarding the
Eastern seamen's strike which has been
raised" he said, lis what consideration
will be shown seamen on American
ships that regularly ply between inter-
coastal ports. The unions are wary
and suspicious of any attempt to
create a hot cargo situation imme-
diately after a settlement is reached
- by bringing ships from the East
coast manned by strikebreakers and
demanding they be worked"

HOPKINS DEMAND
THREATENS SPLIT.
Request for $4,000, 900
Brings Division in Admin.
jStrati0n Ranks.

~ the Associated Press.
A reported ultimatum from Harry
L. Hopkins that he will resign as
works progress administrator unless
he gets $3.50, 900 900 to carry the relief
program through next June threat
ened today to split the administration
forces in the new Congress.
One group was described as lining
up behind Hopkins, while another Is
eounseling cuts in relief spending to
pave the way for a balanced budget.
Hopkins 100000, 900 request is half
again as much as President Roosevelt
has mentioned as a maximum neces-
sary to meet the deficiency in relief
funds until the end Of the fiscal year.
President Undecided.
At his press conference late yester-
day the President said he had no idea
whether he would raise his own $780,
100000 figure in his recommendation
to Congress early in January.
He did say, however, there was a
possibility funds from other sources
might be transferred for work relief
to supplement a congressional ap-
preparation. Further information is
being sought, he said.
Most authorities agree the key to
the problem is the rate the unem-
ployed are being absorbed into private
industry, but no definite figures on
this point are available.
The congressional group arguing for
relief cuts Is reported to be insisting
steps should be taken now to make
possible greater cuts next year, and
thus help in the job of ultimately bal
ancing the budget.
Mayors Protests Cited.
The other faction contends relief
needs actually are not decreasing
rapidly, and points to recent protests
by Mayors and relief workers against
any reduction in w. P. A. rolls.
The w. p. A. figures for the week
ending December showed a net de-
crease of 93,77O in administrative
employees. dropping the load to 1884,
202 persons. More than 100000 were
dropped the previous two weeks.
Hopkins $750,000. 900 proposal indi-
Gates he believes the minimum re-
quirement for work relief through June
to be an average monthly expenditure
Of $50. 100000, as there are enough
funds for most of January.
In November. w. P. A. expenditures
were at the rate Of Sl65,000,000 9
month, Assistant Administrator Aubrey
Williams said recently. He added he
believed that figure to be a valid
level" of spending.
In view Of recent moves by city
Mayors and relief workers to prevent
cuts in w. P. A. rolls, Hopkins un-
doubtedly would draw sUrong support
In Congress for his program.
