Bullitt and Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet foreign affairs commissar, before this country recognized Russia. “I never had an interview with Bullitt and Litvinoff near Vichy or any other place and denied the story at that time. I never heard the sound of Litvinoff's voice, nor have I ever had. any communication with him.

Often- times I find more than one; but one cause or many, there are SPECIFIC treatments de- manded for each individual cause of itching scalp and falling hair. That treatment can be determined only after scientific diagnosis has revealed the cause. Often the removal of the cause enables the hair to come back im- mediately. In other cases only the powerful stimulation of the deep tissues and blood vessels that nourish the hair follicle will start the new growth. My system of alternate vacuum-pressure scalp manipulation provides that stimulation. No Charge for Consultation F. D. JOHNSON Hair and Scalp Specialist 1051-53 Shoreham Bldg., 15th & H N.W.

A. dynamiters at a mu- nicipal quarry here were credited yes- terday by Oscar H. Reinholt, geologist and mining engineer, with having un- TheXoungens Shp D. C, earthed evidence of life forms that existed 1,500,000,000 years ago. Reinholt said the discovery means that the upper Michigan Peninsula region “now takes precedence over the section near Saratoga Springs, N. Y., as the oldest region in which life forms are known to have existed.” The important new tract lies be- tween the north and south iron veins on the Menominee Range and is far older than the iron foundations, he said. - Used to be Rock Island. “If this doesn’t outrank all the geological discoveries of history,” he added, “it is at least as important as the appearance of the dinosauri in Mongolia, or the Rancho La Brea camels, lions and sabre-toothed tigers near Los Angeles.” The geologist stated that billions of years ago in the Algonkian era, Wis- TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, -1936. consin was a large granite island and the Menominee Range country was the shore of a sea which probably ex- tended into Eastern Canada. The discovery here, he said, led geologists to deduce that the shore was gently sloping since the deposit there was seaweed instead of stones and gravel as it would have been had the shore risen sharply from the water's edge. The seaweed, Reinholt continued, secreted lime and magnesium from the salt water and the lime preserved the sez.weed’s form, 2 shape rather like a head of cabbage. Preserved by Pressure. ‘When the forms were exposed to the sun, fissures occurred and new materials fillled the cracks. Under the pressure of later layers as the ages progreased, the seaweed consoli- dated. Sometime, probably at the begin- ning of the upper Huronian, Reinholt continued, the strata tilted and the consolidated algae were eroded, with beveled edges to receive new sediment. Further earth disturbances squeezed them together and made them stand on end. The result ‘was bulbous protuber- ances of rock, the type of formations which attracted the workmen. Harvard University has ordered samples of the rock for the geology section of its museum. Auto Thief Considerate.
