81 use Nine. C. j. Walkers
preparations exclusively be-
cause | get results from them
that | am unable to get from any
other preparation" stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Nine. c. j. Walkers
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam c. j. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-ive years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where. G
. Nine. C.. J. Walkers Glossine,
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
of every woman.
Nine. c. j. Walkers Brown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result of
years of experimenting to pro-
duce the perfect blend to impart
a velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh
ing. Just the thing for these hot
days.
The Nine. C. J. Walkers won
derful preparations are sold by

Stores everywhere. or you can

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Aug. 16.- Despite the Coast Guard and other reports that the Soviets' are build ing an airfield on Big Diomede Island in Boring Strait near Alas ka, Conrad Puhr, eastern writer, is convinced this is not so after voy- aging within 10 miles of the island aboard the mail boat Meteor.
 Puhr, now visiting Ketchikan en- route east, says he observed no ac- tivities, although admitting he was too far away for close observation.
 Puhr argues that nearly constant dense fog, planes would have diff ficult time.
 q was near there for two weeks during the summer and fog was so bad I could only see Big Diomede for about five minutes at a time. The Russians could find a better site nearby in Siberia, so why pick on Big Diomede?"
