Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-10-04

ANN ARBOR, Oct. 3.--Old-
fashioned scout training-urged by
the war department in recent calls
for Ranger volunteers-is getting
a real beginning at University of
Michigan.
Led by a pair of Pennsylvanians
John and Frank Craighead-
twins who have spent most of their
lives tramping and exploring the
forests of remote corners of the
world. Michigan students are
learning the technique of jungle
fighting, of hand-to-hand battling
against the long-prepared Jap
jungle troops.
The Ranger program is recon-
mended by the war department
TO serve two purposes: to teach
'foX-hole" combat and to teach
outdoor skills with which a SOL
der or grounded flier can find his
way in strange country, living on
edible plants and roots and sur
viving by his woodcraft.
After training of several weeks
students are expected to be able
to traverse 10 miles by topo-
graphic map. The student is thus
forced to study contours, and land
marks, such as lakes, streams,
forest types, and varied elevations,
so that he may locate himself
speedily and correctly.
The boys of Michigan particu-
larly lend themselves to the kind
of training needed in the swamp
and jungle-filled South Pacific
islands, the Craigheads say. The
student is told TO use his head
if caught in quicksand bog. not

Fort Wayne, Ind, where he was
a lawyer.
Lack OF identifying witnesses
delayed the poSt-mortem that
had been scheduled for 6 p. m.
Saturday.
Miss James, thrice arrested in
the last four years but never for
mally accused, is best known to
police for her battles with Ben
Feldman. of the Washington Hotel.
Feldman once accused her OF
shooting at him and on another
occasion of setting fire to furni-
ture. In neither case did he
prosecute.
Buckholdt and Sgt. Delbert
Raymond were in the room TAX
ing fingerprints and collecting the
glasses and lipstick-stainned Gig
aret butts when Miss James called.
Not Dead Yet
"My God. aren't you dead
vet ?" he quoted Miss James.
"YOu drank enough last night
to be dead"
Buchholdt spared for time,
saying he could remember little
of the evening.
"Where did you get the red
headed bum?" he said the girl
inquired. "She was giving you
Knockout drops and robbed you
when you passed out"
The detective agreed that some

Ave you gave. me-" the voice
continued. "If you'll meet me,
I'll let you have that"
This was the opening for which
Buckholdt had hoped.
He agreed TO meet her at the
Statler Hotel, where she has been
employed for two months as a
manicurist. When she appeared,
placed her under arrest.

Highly nervous and her be-
sweatered figure intermittently
shaken by fits of weeping, Miss
James told police she first met

Although she insisted Mccoy did
not touch the rum that was being

Murphy Then Under Fire

It must be remembered. too,
that Murphy in 1888 was widely
criticised because of his policies
during the General Motors and
Chrysler strikes. However. labor
was more solidly behind Murphy
than it's today back of Van
Wagner.
The official figures showed that
the governor polled 1925 votes
in the recent primary. while Kelly
had SIS, ASS. Neither was OPP
posed. thus partly explaining the
unusually light turnout.
Official results in the balloting
for United States senator were:
Senator Brown, 155. 103; Judge
Homer Ferguson. POI sos; Gerald
L. X. Smith. 112,444, and Elton r.
Eaton, 1856. -
Brown was unopposed on the
Democratic ticket.

official primary election re-
turns showed Saturday that Gov.
Murray d. Van Wagner and his
Republican opponent, Harry r.

practically parallel TO the 1888
campaign which WAS wen that

The slight difference is in favor
of Van Wagner. who ran stronger
in WAYNE County in the recent
urinary than did Gov, Frank

Mccoy checked into the hotel
Friday afternoon, said clerks at
the Leland who, remembered him
from previous visits that extended
back to 1886.
Apparently he did not plan to
stay long. since besides the brief
case detectives found only toilet
kit. Also in the room were Japa-
nese text book and dictionary.

Scratches on Neck

There were also papers TO indi-
cate that Mccoy recently had been
admitted TO practice before the
United States Supreme Court.
Belief that he had expected to
obtain a commission was strength
ened by a price list of uniforms
from an exclusive tailoring house.
Deputy Coroner Foster Knobloch
said there were no marks on the
body except scratches OF, the neck
that might have been self-inflicted.

Hollywood scouts report a sudden outcropping, in the studios and in the stars homes, of beauty ideas snagged right out of Grandma's diary. Latest example is Nancy Coleman, young Warner Brothers actress, making with .curlers.
 Nancy uses them to, keep hel halr-ends from struggling .. tc lengthen the time between trips tc the hairdreSser to have all her hail set. She dampenS the ends with light cologne, wraps them up 1T curlers, and lets them dry. She wisely warns, however, shat if youl hair is very dry, you'd better skir the cologne, which is likely to con tain drying alcohol.
 Most coifs except the most elabo. rate can be kept preSentable for surprisingly extended span bJ means of curlerS, and if you use simple kind of curler, the routine is brief. Many women performed il with hairpins or bobby pins, simply rolling locks in pincurls. Since big slash in hairpn producton is coming, better supply yourself with the curriers',
 Rubber and metal, especially aluminium ones, are of course scarcer now. But I see plenty ot the fashioned kid-curlers still and they're handy, simple, elective Locks with some natural wave, or locks which have permanent wave are easily handled thus. A curl which is not very lasting, but is beautifully loose and soft, can be kept in by rolling the ends dry-no dampening the hair even with water
 Another self-serviee, idea comes from Ann Sheridan. She makes hel own beauty masks by taking two heaping tablespoons of kaolin (every corner drugstore sells it) and mix ing with witchhazel into it unti past of the thickness of whipped cream is formed. Ann spreads the mixtures on evenly, relaxes until the mask is dry, then washes it of with cold water. Worth trying thougf of course not so pleasant as the professional beauty shop facial.
