to Folsom prison for two time losers
and hardened criminals. George E.
Gross was sent to Folsom for
theft OF an automobile and Joe
Sneed went to the same institution
for attempting to burglarize pool
hall in Holtville. Sneed the court
was informed. mad served three
prior terms in penitentiaries, once
at San Quentin and twice at JEFF
ferson City. Mo His faVorite alias
was Joseph Napoleon, the finger
print record showed.
Jose D. Caratachea, dapper Mex
ican convicted Of the shovel kill
ing" of Juan Padron at Pope

Quentin. The court recommended
that he serve the minimum term

fighting, particularly in a drive to
gain territory, must be carried on
by the infantryman.
The present trend, army officials
believe, is toward lighter, smaller
and faster tanks, such as the Ger
man and Italian types. The Japa-
nese are said to be using light
tanks in major Chinese operations.
These light models are believed
to be capable of speeds up to 80
miles an hour over rough terrain.
Virtually all of the 400 tanks in
the United States army are OF the
light variety, weighing between
eight and nine tons and usually
accommodating four men. 1hey

In the spring. hair is apt to be dry
and lusterless, after the winters steam
heat and overheated rooms. Here you
will find it helpful to massage your
scalp with warm oil. Also rub the oil
well over the entire hair and the dry
ends. Let the oil stay on the hair for as
long as you can before you wash it
with mild shampoo perhaps over
night. An oil shampoo and the use of
olive oil on the scalp is also important
if you have brittle hair.
On the other hand. your hair may
be over oily. In that case, wash it
twice week with shampoo that has
mildly drying properties. There are
number of good preparations like this.
Some women prefer to wash their
hair with soap. 1t is best to melt the
soap and make lather. Then pour it
on the scalp. rubbing thoroughly with
the finger tips. Rinse; and repeat
several times. Be sure also that the
rinsing is thorough.

oHELLEY was hypochondriac. He
once thought he had caught elephan-

in a stage coach. The idea worried him
for weeks and even thorough examl-
nation by his doctor failed to convince
him that his fears were groundless.
LAURENCE SrERNE, author of Iris

laugh added to his life, so he laughed
each day until he cried. He said that
his lungs benefited by the process as
much as by the air they breathed.
CLEOPATRA always carried with her
a potent. subtle poison which had the
effect of benumbing the body and
making her quite insensible to pain.
BYRON, to avoid obesity. measured his
wrists and waist daily and if he found
the slightest increase. he Immediately
took a strong dose of Epson salts.

Construction Delays.
Admiral Leahy also said numer-
Gus construction delays, both In Gov-
ernment and commercial shipyards,
had until lately hampered efforts to
strengthen the fleet.
Delays ranging upward to 10
months for the 14,500-ton aircraft
carrier Wasp, which is under con-
struction at Quincy, Mass, were
described In his report.
One heavy cruiser and i've light
cruisers were delayed, the admiral
reported, by "late delivery Of ma
terial, insufficient starting force and
necessary changes while construction
was In progress"
He attributed difficulties in COM
pleting the Wasp to necessary
changes In structural features" and
"difnculty in obtaining certain ma
terial."
The inability Of certain vessels
to meet trial requirements con-
tributed. he said, to the delay affect
