NEW YORK NEAR POPULATION TOP Gotham Forecast to Pass London by 1940. flu t'mitrd Prr ** NEW YORK, July 9.—New York may expect to pass London in population and be the largest city in the world by 1940, if the two cities continue to increase at their present rate. The 1930 population of New Yoik is 6 955,353, an increase of 1.235.315 snce 1920, according to the official census figures announced Tuesday. This is the largest decennial growth the city ever has had. For the first time, also, New York now has four boroughs w T ith a population of more than a million each. Rxhmond, the fifth borough, has 150,630. Greater London had a population of 7.480,201 in 1921, as against New York's 5,620,048 in 1920.

G. 0. P. SPLITS ON NAMING OF NEW CHAIRMAN Fess-Moses Controversy Delays Retirement of Claudius Huston. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Tress Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 9.—An oldfashioned political controversy among party leaders over a successor to Claudius H. Huston as chairman of the Republican national committee has developed as a result of plans for Huston’s retirement, the United Press was informed today on unquestionable authority. A compromise, however, is expected to be reached within a day or two, with friends of Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio withdrawing from the movement for appointment of Fess to succeed Huston. A temporary appointee acceptable to the various leaders is likely to be agreed upon. It was indicated. The choice may be Ralph Williams of Oregon, now serving as vice-chair-man. Opposed by Moses The leading opponent of Fess’ selection is Senator George Moses of New Hampshire, chairman of the Republican senatorial campaign committee. Moses has elected to oppose Huston’s immediate resignation, despite the disfavor with which most party leaders have view’ed the chairman since the senate lobby committee’s disclosures concerning his handling of Muscle Shoals lobbying funds. Friends of Moses are understood to be urging his selection as chairman. but Fess’ backers are equally unwilling to accept the New Hamshire senator. Expect Adjustment Had it not been for this complex situation, Huston’s resignation might already have been announced, those who are informed concerning the matter say. It is their opinion, however, that a satisfactory adjustment will be made in time so a peaceful atmosphere may pervade Huston’s office here Thursday when party leaders meet to discuss plans for the forthcoming congressional election campaign. Unless a settlement is reached, the dissension may come to the surface at the meeting,

DOCTORS SAY ONE IN 500 IS BURIED ALIVE French Medics Take Action to Prevent Worst of Deaths. BY RALPH HEINZEN, United Pres* Staff Correspondent PARIS, Yuly 9.—Thirty-five doctors in the French chamber of deputies are preparing a law for the verification of death by medicalscientific means before allowing burial. According to these doctors, there have been many cases in the past of the burial of living persons who only appeared to be dead. Many French doctors adhere to j the theory that ’t is impossible to tell the difference between a dead ! body and that of a person in a cataleptic state for at least two days. They suggest that before the burial of any body, a poison be injected, to make sure. In introducing the project before the chamber, the deputies contend that one person in every 500 buried is alive when lowered into the grave. They cited particularly the case of Abbe Prevost, composer and author of “Manon Lescault,” who was about to be buried when one of the burial party saw a slight muscular movement. Dr. Dervieux of the Medical-Le-gal institute, chief coroner of France, explained to the chamber that there are means of telling whether life is extinct. Among the simplest, he suggested: The injection of a small quantity of ether. If the body is a cadaver, the ether will come out. If there is life, it will be absorbed. Inject fluoresceine by small doses. It is not toxic, and if the life is not extinct, the whole body will take a greenish tint. Write on a piece of paper in invisible letters with lead acetate. Hold it to the nose of the body. If the hidden letters appear, the body is without life, for the sulfhydrir gas emanating from a cadayer will

Listerine usually removes loose dandruff in 3 days

DOWN at the office the men under me say I’m a kill-joy. I seldom get enthusiastic about anything. But I want to tell you about my experience getting rid of dandruff. I have always had a good head of hair, and when I first began to be troubled by dandruff, I felt pretty worried. It’s a humiliating thing at best. You feel guilty with those telltale flakes on your coat collar. Sort of ashamed to meet people. It’s bad business.

Os course, the first thing I did was to go to my barber. “Nothing to it,” he said. “I’ll have you over that in a couple of weeks.” You have probably heard that line yourself. Well, I let him wreak his vengeance on my scalp and hair with a lot of funny treatments that were a nuisance. Net result: just as much dandruff, if not more. Net loss: sl2. Then somebody said, “See a specialist.” Well, what that fellow did to my scalp was worse 'than the great war itself. He thumped it. He beat it. He photographed it. He rubbed it. He anointed it. He baked it. He. dried it. He fanned it. Net cost: $25. And give him seme credit—he did get rid of the dandruff—but only for a little while. Then one morning my wife said to me, “Everett,” she said, “why don’t yoi try Listerine? A lot of the girls at the club have tried it and they say it gets rid

have a chemical effect on the lead. There are other means sometimes used to make certain of death, one of them being to hold a flame to the feet. Dr. Dervieux cited another ultimate means of proving death, but one which would bring death if there still was life. It consisted of running a long needle into the heart, ataching at the exposed end a small silk cloth. If there was even the slightest heart beat, the silk cloth would move like a flag. The topaz derives its name from Topazos, an island in the Red sea.

VISIONS FAST ROADS Wide Highways for Speed Predicted for Future. OKLAHOMA CITY, July 9—Visions of a continent interlaced with paved highways 100 feet in width, over which vehicles will speed at 100 miles an hour, were placed before good roads enthusiasts by expert technicians here today. Engineers with years of experi-

of ordinary loose dandruff in no time.” Well, sir, I tried it. Just doused it on full strength, as they 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 dollars. 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: 50ff. 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 dandruff when you realize that dandruff is a germ 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 soothes, 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. Remember 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. Lambert Pharmacal Cos., St. Louis, Missouri, U. S. A.
