Women now keep their hair smooth, o lustrous, always in place Today, as never before, men and women have smooth, well-kept hair. Why? T A few years ago the hair was a nuisance to almost everyone, for it was usually the least attractive part of the appearance — always unkempt and unsightly an hour after being combed. : There was no way, then, to keep it from being so. Old-fashioned pomades only matted it and made it greasy. Water evaporated quickly and left it drier and more unruly than ever. ~ 5 Today everyone can have smooth, neatly combed hair Now Stacomb'— a delicate, invis- ible cream for keeping the hair in place — has changed-all that. It is responsible for the amazingly improved appearance of men’s hair. And it has made possible for every woman, -however “difficult” her hair, the new smooth effect so much in vogue. > . In the clubs and cafés, at the theatre or the opera, today you can seldom find even one case of un- kempt hair. People who know that the hair can ruin the whole ' appearance— people who are careful about the " way they look — have given Sta- comb an important place on their chiffonier or dressing table. No matter how dry and straggly. your hair may be — no matter how uncontrollable after being washed — Stacomb will. keep it always in place, smooth, lustrous, natural. A touch of it in the morning when you comb your hair — and all day Iong your hair will be just as you want it. v You can now get Stacomb in two forms'— the original light, invisible v -THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Roosevelt Demands President Explain Retention in His “Own Words.” By the Associated-Press. NORTH TARRYTOWN N. Y., Octo- ber 30.—Franklin D. Roosevelt, Demo- cratic vice presidential candidate in 1920, demanded last night in his first political speech made in this State during the campaign that President Coolidge, “in his own words and not by proxy,” explain why he retained C. Bascom Slemp as his private secre- tary and at the same time “pretended horror at the retention of unfit men in office.” : “In the Democratic nominee the country is assured a man President— not a mouse President,” Mr. Roose- velt said, adding that “in Davis we will have a national leader—not an inarticulate figurehead.” “A vote for Davis" he continued, is a_vote for positive right—a vote for Coolidge is a vote to excuse and encourage wrong.” Mr. Roosevelt recalled the exposures v the senatorial investigating com- mittees, and sald the Nation had been thoroughly aroused over disclosures “affecting the integrity of our Fed- eral Government.” At_another point the speaker said Mr. Coolidge “appointed as his closest political adviser and secretary a man widely known as a professional dealer in the votes of Southern Republican delegates. “The disclosures of Secretary Slemp's methods while in Congress relating to the ‘shaking dow Federal officeholders brought s on the White House itself.

J. Manion, group head of the Washington flying squad- ron. Discussing the sources of the tips that pour nto the agents' office at the rate of nearly 200 a week, Mr. Manion said: “Women probably furnish more tips on' liquor ~operations than all other sources combined. Bootleggers Wwho have become incensed at price-cutting by their rivals run them a close second. “Tips come into this office at the rate of more than 25 & day. Kvery mail that comes in carries at least five or six anonymous letters telling us of vio- lations. “To act on all the tips we get and to keep abreast of the supply would take a force of 30 or 40 men. Look,” he lifted from a desk drawer a huge folder, two (o SSSE inches thick. “This is less than one week’s supply of tips. There are more than 175 of them so far this week.
