Our professional business is, in
simple English the care and treat
ment OF the hair and scalp. First
OF all, let me be very blunt and
say very simply but emphatieally
that we do not and cannot regrow
hair. And as far as we have been
able TO determine neither can
anyone else. Secondly, we wish
to make il quite plain that our
only function is to provide men
and women with a simple.
sensible and effective method of
treating the hair and scalp so as
to keep il healthy. alive and
attractive.
The best evidence OF our in
tegrity is TO visit one OF our
offices TO experience for your
self how we work. There is no
charge or obligation for a private
examination and consultation. II
you decide then TO take treatment,
the decision is entirely yours.
We employ no salesmen. Our
treatments are at your con-
venienee and the modest fee you
charge is payable only when you
take q treatment.

Arrangements previously in effect with the U. s. Army Alaskan De- partmcnt, whereby personnel serving in Alaska may be discharged within the Territory if the dischargees so desire, have now been extended to members of the Alaska Division, Air Transport Command, Gov. Ernest Gruening revealed today.

in Vermont, and we found that al- though the natives didn't know anything at all about the movies they knew every scene and char acter in Way Down East After that we concluded that Griffith knew his audiences"
 Miss Gish remembered some of the financial facts. Griffith paid $165, ,000 for it. It made about $14,- 100000 on the domestic market and something more abroad.
 "Oh, yes," said Miss Gish, i've knew about money then in the movies, too. People today in Holly wood quote astronomical figures and think they are something new. Griffith's Birth of Nation cost $91 ,000 and brought in a profit of $1S,O0O, O,000 It made more than any other picture ever made"
 Biggest Money Maker
 The biggest moneymaker Of the present day. Gone With the Wind,n is estimated to have taken in over $15, ,000 0OO. It cost some thing more than $4,000,00o to make.
 Miss Gish does not think stars can be created synthetically, that they either have what it takes to hold the public or they just haven't. ID. " Griffith used to say that it took 10 years to make star. Money and influence could make star sooner. but she always faded quickly. His idea was that if we wanted to be the star, we took the responsibility of the position. Con- sequently, always had to work twice as hard as anyone else in the picture I appeared in.
 Its easy now-and SO nice-to be a star. You don't do anything but act. We had to pick out our own stories, help cut them, help with the sub-titles, write the ads and then go to the censor boards to help sell them"
 The censors, it seems, were sometimes quite problem.
 Why" Miss Gish said, i've sim ply went up to the projection room to run the pictures with the censors, and when the questionable scenes came on, we tried to attract their attention to something else. We even had the babies born on the screen in those days. you know"
 She doesn't think that people will ever really grow beyond sex pictures.
 "How can you," Miss Gish asked, "be superior to sex?"

 Just as sultry, she added, as the plot in which she is momentarily participating.
 "It was the same sort of story, but with slight difference" she explained. Ut was sex story of the last century. you might say. We cloalted it. The girl always had a baby without a wedding ring and was ostracized. It was a sex story just the same. Now they don't bother with that paraphernalia. They just tell the story.
 "We made The Battle of the Sexes, in 1917, in five days and nights. I guess it was the first. They've been making a Battle of the Sexes ever since"
 Miss Gish looked thoughtful a moment.

THE UNINVITED'
 ON LAST TIMES
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Paramounts "The Uninvited" at the goth Century playing it's last showings tonight unfolds some of the weirdest supernatural effects ever seen on the scheen. The pie ture provides a field day for de- voices of this type of film fare.
 If ghosts were looking for rooms in Hollywood, they'd feel very much at home in Windward House, the cottage perched on the edge of a cliff in "The Uninvited.' Mo- body else felt at home there during the filming and that includes Ray Midland. Ruth Hussey and Donald Crisp, stars of the picture; Gail Rus sell, heralded as the next female heart throb of the country after this initial feature role and Cornelia Otis Skinner, the fine actress who is ap- bearing before the sound cameras for the first time.
 The reason was that the atmo- sphere created for this story of ghosts and spirits was eerie, weird, mysterious. It is easy to under stand, after seeing The Uninvited", why even hardbitten skeptics arc influenced by the mood of the film. The story, widely-read in the best selling book of the same name by Dorothy Macardle, relates the terri flying experiences of beautiful young girl whose dead mothers spirit returns to influence her in a phenomenal way

 DECISION MADE,
 MARRIAGE CASE
By RICHARD KASTSCHKE Associated Press CorrespondenD

LONDON, July 17.--In an unpre- cedented decision laden with social implications, the British Court of Appeals today annulled 13-year marriage as ''unconsummated" on grounds that the husband insisted upon using contraceptives.
 The decision was delivered by a three-man court-the highest in the land under the House of Lords. It reversed lower court verdict and annulled the marriage of Brenda Lee Cowen, 35, of Surrey, and Law renee Gordon Cowen, 45. Both are members of the Church of England.
 Mrs Cowen's petition stated that during the first five years of their marriage, when they lived in Iran, they had used contraceptives by mu- tual agreement, but that in 1887 she begged her husband to abandon precautions and live normal mar ried life' with her so that she might have a child.
 He ignored her pleas, she stated, They separated in 1944.
 Today's decision, the Court said was based on the generally recog- nized truth that one of the chief ends of marriage is the procreation of children"
 The Court said that it was satis- fled that Mrs. Cowen had consented to the practice of which she ulti- mately complained for reasons which sufficiently explained her con- sent and for limited time only"
 Her reason for consenting to i'm perfect intercourse" from 1892 to 1937, Mrs, Cowen stated, was that during those years they lived in Iran where we agreed that the danger of child bearing for a Europ- can woman was very great"

iToday's Motion Pictures Are No Sexier
 Than Old Silcnfs, Says Lillian Gish
By VICTOR cUNsoN

Central Press Correspondent ~HOLLYW D-Lillian Gish took a deep breath, looked back boldly at her 40 years on the stage and screen, and promptly pro- claimed that the future can be as thrilling as the past.
 Right now Miss Gish, still de- mure but still fortnight, is set ting back happily into a new screen career-but, f she should become bored, there still is the Broadway stage-and the radio.
 ''We really have three wonderful mediums now" she said, her blue eyes sparkling.
 Miss Gish returned to Hollywood 30 years after she scared to fame with David Wark Griffith in the classic Birth of Nation"
 It is just 40 years since Miss Gish made her first appearance on a stage. She was five then. It was in a real old-fashioned melodrama called "In Convicts Stripes" pre- sented at Rising Sun, O. Miss Gish is a native of Ohio. with Springfield her birthplace.
 In between that first bit and her present role in Dave Selznick's s Duel in the Sun" rip-roaring hell-firing, sex-laden Texas saga, Miss Gish has rolled a dozen ca reers into one.
 Screen Debut in 1913
 Lillian danced in a Sarah Bern lardt play, she appeared in David Beiasco play, and she made her first movie appearance in a Mary Pickford picture, Unseen Enemy, in 1913.
 After "The Birth of Nation set records never to be broken Miss Gish starred in such smash ing screen successes as "Intoler- ance," Way Down East" Broken Bloss s." Orphans of the Storm" "The White Sister" and "The Scarlet Letter"
 When Miss Gish returned to the New York stage in 1930. her pie lures had rolled millions of dollars into Hollywood coffers, where any thing with less than five ciphers is chicken feed.
 In 15 years on the stage Miss Gish ran the range from Camille" and Ophelia in Hamlet" to Life With Father"
 It was a year and half in the latter which sent Miss Gish scur- rying back to Hollywood.
 "The first 12 months can be sur vived," Miss Gish explains, but when it goes beyond that I think th@ pressure of doing the same thing over and over again becomes too great"
 She found that one thing hasn't changed in pictures-the sex motif.
 Did they make them way. way back then?
 "Oh, my yes," she replied, with

FLOODS:
Thousands Homeless

Familiar but tragic scenes were
reenacted again as the Ohio river
and tributaries rose over their banks
to flood surrounding lowlands and
send thousands of homeless refu-
gees scurrying to safety.
Operations of war industries in the
rivers paths were seriously affected
as the waters rose, and residents Of
the great cities of Pittsburgh, Gin
cinnati, Portsmouth and Louisville
anxiously viewed the broadening
crests, which threatened to spill
over and flood their environs.
Of all the big cities, Portsmouth,
with its 10000 people, was most seri-
ously endangered, with rising waters
tapping at the 63-foot food wall while
state troopers and volunteers strug-
gled to reinforce it with a sandbag
levee.
With rain-swollen rivers flooding
acres of low-lying farm land in Ten
nessee, Arkansas and Mississippi,
thousands of residents of these areas
also were forced to move to the up
