BBy the Associated Press | PHILADELPHIA, October 23.—Dis- §trict Attorney Monaghan, who is di- { recting a grand jury investigation of { gang murders, rum runners and police { bribery, is curious about 15 bank ac- counts in which deposits of more than { $10,000,000 were made in one year un- fider fictitious names. ¥ The prosecutor sald today he be-| { lieved the accounts were opened by| f bootleggers and that he was endeavor- | {ing to learn whether there was any| } police connection with them.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., October 22.—Now we learn what keeps so many women young appearing and beautiful. It is the artistry of the barber shop, according to the claims set forth at the fifth annual convention of the Asso- ciated Master Barbers of Amer- ica, which opened a four-day ses- sion here yesterday. * “The dressing of a woman's hair makes her look 10 or 15 years younger, or a careless hairdress may add that much to her age,” said L. E. McIlwain of Chicago, national secretary. “A becoming wave and a hairdress suited to the face will make the plainest woman attractive.” “Women 1look better today than they ever have, and it is 50 per cent due to the barber,” said Noah Anglin, general chairman of a committee on arrangements. Every State in the Union is rep- resented at the convention. Otto Ewert of Chicago, general pres- ident, presided at today’s session. POLICEMAN FOUND ILL.

Puzzled as to Identity. “It is almost incredible,” Monaghan said, “that these millions could repose in the vaults of a bank with no one identified as their owners. Neither the high officials of the bank nor any of its employes seem to be able to| explain to us who the depositors are. We are determined, however, to find out who deposited the money under | ; mames which we know to be false, | “It is interesting to note that huge | sums of money have been deposited in this same bank by the Quaker In- | dustrial Alcohol Distillery, an estab!ish- ment with which Max ‘Boo Boo' Hoff ¢ is understood to have been closely identified.” .
