READ HERALD OLASSIFIED ADS New chr Mode from _Bgadway “Everyone admires my hair, now that I'm doing it the new way that nearly every really smart girl I know is using,” says Miss Agnes Traney, popular dancer, now appearing in the Broadway hit “Rio Rita.” “My hair doesn’t need shampooing more than once & month, now. My scalp fcels better than it ever has felt, I have gotten rid of all my dandruff. My hair 18 much easier to arrange, and it stays that way. Al T do to leep it ike this is put a few dashes of Danderine on my brush every time I use it. It's wonderful how Danderine adds to the beauty of your hair, makes it look so silky and lustrous.” Danderine is not oily. It removes the olly film from each strand of hair and restores the matural color and lustre. It dissolves dandruft, cleanses and invigorates the scalp. It is delightfully fragranced. The big hottles are just 35c at all drug stores. Beautiful, smooth, gleaming hair and & healthy scalp for a few cents. PARSONS HARTFORD * NIGATS ONLY— FFB.

GARBAGE COLLECTION | CONTRACT DRAWN UP | Doard of Health Favors FEntering | Into Three Year Agreement With L. 8.

The con- | tract price for the entire period in | $89,400, which is not the lowest fil- ure obtainable. The health department has bids | on three districts into which the city has been divided, and by taking lowest in each district could e made contracts at the rate of | 300 for one years, or $29,800 for | each of three years. The problem of disposal offered the greatest ob- Jection to this plan and because Schmidt has a large tract of land in an outlying district, it was the opin- fon of board members at a meeting yesterday that he is in the best po- sition to handle the contract. Although the board has requested | $125,000 In next year's budget for an incinerator, it is generally be- lieved the entire period of the new contract will expire before a reduc- tion plant is built.

Live But Little While Political and juridical prejecm flourish in each conference like the proverbial mango tree, but few of them live: to bear fruit; and after €ach successive conclave, the Pan- American union creature of the meetings, settles down to its pleas- friendly relations in unoffensive ways—ex- changipg trade reports, broadcasting | Pan-American music, and gladden. | iug thousands of visitors to Havana books and souvenirs, Thres weeks here will witness completion of a large program for cooperation in sanitary matters, for relations between Red Cross socie- ties, for the establishment of a Pan-American {institute of geogra- phy and histoiy, the exchange of professors and students, and, other cultural proposals: Want Non-Political Status But three weeks also will witness a growing sentiment for non-politi- cal status of the Pan-American union, and various international projects for justice, mediation, con- | clliation or otherwise will begin their struggle for existence. There | is considerable sentiment for the Pan-American court, proposed b Colombia, but it yet lacks support from the more powerful countries. There {8 nothing especially sig- nificant in the inability of succes- | sive conferences to unify the poli- | cies and aspirations of many coun- | tries. Twenty-one young ambitious | of different sizes, differ- ent raclal makeup, different eco- | nomic problems, naturally find it difficult to find the common de- | | | nominator of politics and law. Théy have tried repeatedly, and the net effect is always the same— the “common denominator” proves | to be a little wider intelligence, a little more sympathy, and a morc genuine appreciation that Pan- American understanding must be | the everlasting goal.

Aircraft Industry and Already Sixty-Three Plants Now Engaged in Manufacture of i Airplanes of Various Types—New York Leads, With California Second. (BY FRANK J. CARMODY.) That the aircraft industry is & lusty, husky, and rapidly growing infant 1is & generalization that is riven prominent mention in the con- versation of virtually everyone thesc days. In some cases, of course, it is based upon specific knowledge. In others, it grows out of the fact that a good many more airplanes are to be seen or read about as do- ing this, that, or the other thing. But, just what kitd of an industry fs that which produces the airplanes which have bean s0 much in the Where i3 1t located? Ta it geograph- ically centersd in one state, much as the automobile industry is, or is it acattered throughout the country? Are there many manufacturers? Ia the capitalization of the industry nificantly large or is it small? Are newcomers flocking into the air- plane manufacturing ranks as fn- evitably 18 the case when something new takes the nation by storm? An Inclusive Industry. These and many similar questions might be asked by the individual in ssarch of apecific information con- cerning the status of the aircraft industry. Tn answering them, one | is faced with the difficult task of deciding just where the industry be- gina and ends. Are the makers of aircraft accessories, whose output also goes to other markets, to he in- cluded in an estimate of the manu- facture of aircraft? To prevent the possibilities of ramification that ma lead to confusion, this article will deal largely with those concerns en- | gaged n the manufacture of com- ! plete airplanes, Most. significant of the facts ad- duced by " a study of the aireraft field, is that cveryone seems to be getting into it. At present, accord- ing to recently compiled reports of the United States department of | commeree, there are 63 plane manu- } facturers and the number is growing | all the time. Last year, there were | Jos than 50. The most recent com- | inclndes manufacturers of | planes of all types, land and gea, | commercial, military and private, Unlike the automobile industry, the manufacture of aircraft is scat- tered throughout all parts of the | country, save that the south has its lone representatives in Texas and Alabama. Two significant signs of concentration are to be found, al- though they represent geographica! These are in the cases York and California, the former hoasting of 16 airplane plants, the lattér of 12. Tn the Empire State, Long Tsland seems rapidly being converted into an air- plane manufacturing center, boast- ing of some of the largest plants as | well as some of the new-comers. Here, for instance, are located a ma- | y of those concerns which sup- | ply the army and navy air services | with their special types of ahips. In California, the aircraft concerns | seem to be locating in the central | und southern parts of the state. Ohio ranks third in the number of aircraft factories, with six. Tts list includes the name of the manu- facturer of the famous homber plane |of the army alr service. Michigan, | standing first in the automobile field, is fourth in the aircraft list with five factories. Illinois and Kansas | are tied for fifth place, each hoasting of four airplane plants. Pennsyl- vanfa has threc, and Missouri, New Jersey and Nebraska, each have two. States in which one airplane plant is in operation arc: Colorado, Arkan. sas, Washington. Texas, Okklahoma, Alabama and West Virginia. A far-flung industry. How i3 it Retting along?

Rough- ly, this means an average of about 80 to the Individual manufacturer, but of course averages do not count. Some will sell up into the hundreds. Others will be able to put but two or three ships into flying service. That sales have been {increasing steadily since Lindbergh's famous flight, is revealed by answers to a questionnaire submitted to plane makers by the Chilton Class Journal company. In the first five months of 1927, this survey showed, 675 planes were sold. Tn the next three months the market absorbed 1,100, and factories were far behind in their orders. Like every youthful industry, that of aircraft production has growing pains. The individual units for the most part. ave small. Their produc- tion achedules, naturslly, correspond to the size of the establishment. Then again, they are limited hy the fact that quality is a matter of rig- orous inspection and relatively slow assembly. None of them seems will- ing mistakes similar to those that have, earlier In its history, caused | the departure of individual manu- ness. Airplane makers are building reputations as well as planes, and it is a slow process. 636 Marketed st year, according to figures| subniittted by 37 manufacturers, planes were narketed. Many hoped for but few foresaw | hat 1927 was to bring a tremend- ously greater demand. Readjust- ment has been a difficult process all around. Capitalization figures on the air- | plane industry reveal much of inter est. Tf it is fo hecome romnarahl.‘; to the automobile industry, as many maintain, It has a long way to go, for It is pretty close to two billions shy of the $2.081.498325 at which the latter is capitalized.
