235 MOTHERS SAIL T0 FRENCH GRAVES Gold Star Group Carry Me- mentos for Resting Places of Sons. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July #.—Guarding the precious mementos from home that are 10 be placed on the graves of their sons, 235 Gold Star Mothers boarded the S. S. President Harding to sail for France today with the eleventh pil- grimage of war mothers. Every bag and suit case carried a token—some cherished for years, others prepared at the last moment—each to be laid on the last resting places of 235 Americans who lost their lives in the ‘World War. Mrs. Martha Hadley of Kansas City, Mo., carried a carefully-wrapped box containing pressed flowers, tied with ribbon, picked by her 10 children and 14 grandchildren for a tribute to the memory of her son, Thomas Ross Had- ley, who was killed in battle June 17, 1918. And the package of Mrs. Emma D. Murtagh_of Pickens, Miss., and Mrs, Margie Field of Madison, Miss., held tiny silk American flags, as did the luggage of dozens of other mothers on the pilgrimage. To many of those who boarded the | liner the pilgrimage represents a dream which they feared would fade even at the last moment. Mrs. Hadley, visiting the Cathedral of St. John the Divine here yesterday with a number of the Gold Star Moth- ers, got lost from the party and found herself, after several hours, “talking to a group of people who didn't wear any badges at all.” After a lengthy search she found a bus and made her way back to her party. “I was afraid they'd go without me,” she said. “And I won't have much peace till T get to Paris. I cam't get lost there, because my grandson will be there to show me around.” The greater part of today’s pilgrim- @ge comes from the South and West, In 1854, James B. Lindsay, a Scot- tish electrician, read a paper before the British Association in which he boldly stated that if wires were run along the coasts of America and Britain, and properly charged, he could send mes- sages across the Atlantic.

And give him some credit—he did get rid of the dan- druff—but only for a little while. Then one morning my wife said to me, “Everett,” she said, “why don’t you try Listerine?

By the Associated Press. | Swamped by applications and tangled in a maze of litigation, the Federal| Radio Commission is taking a Summer | breathing spell before renewing its | | struggle to keep pace with the conflict- | ing demands for use of the ether. {. The commission has discontinued its hearings until September 2. Routine business is being carried on as usual, | however, and Commissioner Sykes is | conducting “hearings on the Pacific Coast. End of Demand Not in Sight. | Although the commission two years | ago hung out the “standing room only” sign, applications for new stations, for more power, for changes in wave lengths and for other concessions have “been coming in at the rate of 100 to' 150 a week, with slight indications of the demand ever slowing down. When the commisison resumes hear- ings in September, there will be more than 300 cases on its docket and about | 20 cases pending in the Court of Ap- peals of the District of Columbia. Last year the commission personally re- viewed and passed upon 6.972 applica- tions. This year's total is expected o approach 8,000. | When the commission started func- | tioning, in Harch, 1927, it had a force | of cight secretarics and clerks. One | commissioner _optimistically predicted: “We'll clean this job up, provide good | reception for listeners and be home | again in six months.” | But radio has just begun to hit its| | real stride. Television was coming on, aviation was finding radio essential to safe naviation, the radio telegraph and telephone were developing rapidly and the interchange of programs with Eu- Topean countries was presenting a new problem in channel assignment.

At the Better Dealers dandruff in no time.”, Well, sir, I tried it. Just doused it on ey say in their ads, and massaged the scalp with the finger tips. And, by George, after the first treatment dandruff began to disappear. Right away my scalp began to feel like a million dol- lars. After another treatment, I couldn’t find any dandruff at all; and my scalp was just as cool and healthy as a baby’s. None of that old itching and burning. Net cost: 50¢. What's more, dandruff hasn’t returned. Can you blame me for being enthusiastic about Listerine? Enthusiastic comments like the above are the rule rather than the exception. You can understand Listerine’s success against dan- druffwhen yourealize thatdandruffis agerm disease, and full strength Listerine kills germs in 15 seconds. Even the Staphylococcus Aureus (pus) and Bacillus Typhosus (typhoid) yield to it in counts ranging to 200,000,000. Listerine first dislodges and dissolves the tiny scales which are the outward evidence of dandruff, then it lgmthes, cools, and heals the troubled scalp. The flesh tingles and glows with new health and invigoration. If you have any evidence of this humiliating and dangerous condition, begin with Listerine at once. Re- member that it is entirely safe, and douse it on the scalp full strength, then massage vigorously with the finger tips. Keep the treatment up as a part of the regular soap and water'shampoo, or independent of it, until dandruff is under control.
