One of the greatest moves In Chi cago’s financial challenge, the estab lishment of a securities market by the Chicago board of trade, recently was endorsed publicly by a group of out atanding financiers. ' The board of trade market, these men made plain, will provide long needed facilities for Investment of unlimited Middle West capital at home." ,. . . , william R. Dawes, vice president or ! the Central Trust company of Illinois. I described the 81-year-old commodity • exchange’s new market as "an addi tional financial facility that will bene fit not only Chicago but the entire ; central West." , . . Mr. Dawes’ remarks were backed by similar expressions from Lawrence H. 1 Whiting, president Boulevard Bridge t bamsTand chairman of the Indiana Limestone oompany; H. A. Whae.cr, vice chairman First National BanK, ai:d John J- Geddes. representing President Eugene M. Stevens, of th-» Continental Illinois Bank & Trust company. The latter institution is Chicago's "billion dollar'’ bank, largest of its kind west of New York City. „ . "The Chicago board of trade, de clared Silas H. Strawn, noted attorney and chairman of Montgomery Ward 3» Co., “more than any other one agency, has done more to build up Chicago and the State of Illinois In that It has advertised the city and the state throughout the world. "Its activities extend all over the world. Until the recent 'bull' market in st.ock3 the volume of trading on the Chicago board of trade was greater in money total than that of any other market In the world." This premier position will be re gained by the board, it is confidently asserted in Middle West financial cir cles. when securities are added to the present markets for grain, provisions and cotton. Why Be Gray? j ^EOR6iA O.GEORGe. CHICAGO—Gray hair la not a badge of superior wisdom, but an Index ot slothfulness. ‘‘Silver locks usually considered synonymous with intelligence, actual ly betray their owner's dumbness," declared Georgia O. George, famous hair and scalp authority of Loa An geles. “Human hair should no more become gray with age than cow’s hair or cat’s fur. Gray hair Is dead hair. If the scalp were allre and vigorous. It would quickly expel these hlAuts offenders. "The hair needs food. Unless the scalp is fed, the hair dies. Nourish ment is supplied by the blood stream through the scalp. The only way to .bring the blood regvdarly to the scalp and keep the hair alive and healthy is to shampoo the'head dally. Other wise. the ‘adult cradle crust* which Is an accumulation ot exudations from the pores of the scalp, chokes the nat ural growth of the hair and starves the hair cells." <r'' ‘ : 1 Sergt.
