I, now appearing on Broadway in the "Greenwich Village Follies." "I can tell girls who are using it, by the way their hair seems to sparkle. It looks so soft, too, and it's al- ways neat. This way just suits me. I haven't much time to give my hair, apd it takes just a second to put a few dashes of Danderine on your brush when you use fit. It certainly makes your hair look grand. Mine needs shampooing only once a month, too, since I'm using Danderine."

Dr. Langsner Declares Un-| Required ravelling of One Small Knot Will Furnish Proof Toronto, Nov. 24.--The strange disa; rance of Ambrose J, Small practically has been solved to his satisfaction, all but the unravell- ing of one small knot which will enable definite corroboration of his theories, Dr. Maxmilian Langs- ner, 'experimental psychologist and eriminologist," said on his re- turn here yesterday from Montreal, There will be a concrete announce- ment covering his progress in the case in about a week, he assured a group of newspapermen, theatrical men, friends and other interested parties who were his guests at a luncheon and demonstration of his work in the King Edward Hotel. "I have a feeling the case fis solved, but it is like a box which must be opened carefully lest it be closed forever or the contents destroyed," he remarked. "There is a delicate lock on the box which eannot be opened unless we pro- ceed with deliberation. You know it is useless to try and force a dif-, ficult lock. you only break it or snap off the key, If I try to go too fast, I will break the key and ft will he me who will get the blame. Gentlemen of the press. do aot be ansry with me because 1 cannot give you news." Small Case Simn'e One Dr. Lanvsner dec'ared the Small onse was far from being a perfect erime, but instead was a compara- tively simple and imperfect one. It was much less difMenlt of so'ution that the Vergon Pooher case in Al- herta, "where the murderer killed all the witnesses, leavine only the heavens, the rein and the house to gay what he had dome." But in Alberta and in Pritish Columh'a he had received off cial eo-aneration had even heen made a speerin] offic er Here he d'd not pet the aMe'al authority he wanted, was hindered hy excessive publicity, and d'd not varelve the financial baakin~ he had heon promised by private interests he evnlained. "Perhans the anthorities here think 1 am getting ton mnreh nub- Yelty, that T am a private inveati- wator. that I am getting or will net too much of the credit for elear- ng up the case, he suggested He Also reneated the remark made in Montreal that h's delay in clear- mg up the mystery was because 'money spea"s an International languare." 'It cannot kill but it can temporarily paralyze know- ledze," he added, He declarcd he was forced" to rive public lectures and demonstra. tions because of his personal ex: nenses in carrying on his work and 'nvest!gating '"mvsterions erimes." Describing himee'f as a student and a pioneer in the fie'd of ex- nerimental psycholozy and affillat- ed pursuits, the genial young Vien: nese discussed at some len~th his studies, exneriments and theories, He aleo put on a demonstration of his accomplishments in the field of mental sensitivity, muscle reading and hypnosis of animals. A large and indignant white rooster ceased its squawking struggles and sub- sided into a cataleptic tramce un- der his ministrations, and a some- what bewlldered grey rabbit be came as still as if it were para- lyzed under his skilful touch and penetrating hypnotic gaze, Dr. Langsner believed that under pro- per conditions he could perform similar treatment on any of the men present, and sald positively that he could cure persons of stut- tering by auto-suggestive strength- ening of their will power, Blindfolded--Finds Pin Perhaps the most impressive feat of the afternoon was. the discoy- ory by Dr. Langsper, blindfolded and with his ears stopped with cot- ton, of a pin hidden by E. C, Drury former Premier of Ontario. Mr, Drury, who, interestingly enough, was chief of the Farmers' Govern- ment at the time Small disappear- od, was at the head table with W. P. Mulock, grandson of the Chief Justice, First, Dr. Langsner's eyes were wrapped with a napkin, inside of which a cotton pad had been plac- ed, and a newspaperman held his hands over the psychologist's ears. Mr. Drury went to another part of the big U-shaped table, thirty feet away, and stuck the pin in the twp of & matchbox resting on a glass ash tray, He then stood behind Dr. Lanesper, and was asked to roncentrate on the position of the nin and give ments] directions a= to which way the Investigator was to go. Practically without hesitation. aside from that occasioned by stumbling over chairs, Dr. Lanes- ner walked to thet part of the ta- ble where the ach tray was. For a few minutes he groned uns»e- sessfully, moving up and down the "im TRUSSES i PHS C--O ID AEPRFRII ERIN A AUTHORS ¢ JH \ Cities heated, and kept in condition; table, but always returning to the right spot.

He placed his front of the ash tray and almost instantly moved it up to the tup of the match box and discover the pin, Mr. Drury stated afterwards that Dr. Langsner had followed his men- tal commands perfectly, turning to right or left. or pressing straight ahead, as directed. "If 1 can find a pin with my eyes hound and my ears stopped." remarked the investizator, signifi- cantly, 'why should it be so hogd for me to find a body with my eyes and ears open?" 1 | 18 DEDICATED AIR FIELDS SINCE JAN. | United States Ports Prepare for First Rating Survey in 1929 Washington, D.C., Nov. 23.-Rush- ing work on their airports to obtain a high ranking when the Department of Commerce makes its first rating survey early in 1920, 118 widely scattered cities in the United States have dedicated municipal landing | flelds since January 1, Many of the larger cities with air- ports already established are adding to their equipment and putting their flelds into condition to meet the re- quirements laid down by the Depart- ment of Commerce for an "A1A" rat- ing, which will designate the na- tion's best airports.
