In Development
X

Which has been at the Brownsville
airport the past two months, will be
taken back to San Antonio Tuesday,
and will leave that city Friday for
Chicago.
Announcement was made by of
ficials of the Universal Airways,
Inc., that the company will extend
its lines into the southwest, but that
definite arrangements had not been
completed and that no announce
ment could be made at this time.
“We have watched the develop
ment of the Brownsvilel airport,
and I am convinced it will be one of
the great ports of the future,” was
the statement of C. T. Schramm,
business manager for the company,
who has been here two months.
“What has impressed us is the
close cooperation between the city
commission, the chamber of com
merce and the people of Browns

Wins Praise
I — ■ ■■ -
The quality of her acting as the
Private Secretary in “The News
I Parade” is winning the praise of
movie fans everywhere for this
lovely newcomer to the screen. At
home in New York City, hundreds
admire her charming personality
* and she has fairly “set the style”
on Broadway by the way she
dresses her hair.
“The simple method I use in
caring for my hair.” says Miss
Shea, “has been of great help lo
me in my motion picture work,
where one's hair must alwuvs look
its best. It's just the thing for
busy girls, too, because it is so easy.
Most of the girls I know in stage
f and picture work are taking it un
as soon as they hear about it. All
you do is put a little Danderine on
your brush every time you use it.
It makes your hair so easy to dress
and holds it in place wonderfully.
It’s ideal for girls who are letting
their hair grow. It keeps my hair
I and scalp so clean and comfortable.
I don’t shampoo half so often, now.
» It gives my hair such a sliky. soft,
lustrous appearance that all my
friends comment on it.”
Danderine removes the oily film
from each strand of hair, restores
its natural color, gives it more lus
tre than brilliantine. It cleanses
and invigorates the scalp; helps
overcome dandruff. It is delight
fully fragranced; isn't sticky or
oily; doesn’t show. Waves, “set”
with it, lasts longer. All drug stores
have it, in generous 35c bottles.—
Adv.
which the port is managed and the
close adherence to rules.”
Both Captain Rentz and Schramm
took an active part In preparing for
the celebration, Schramm acting as
field supervisor during the two
days. Over 700 passengers were
carried by the Universal tri-motor \
Saturday and Sunday.

KEEP STOMACH
YOUNG!
Eat What You Want
When the food you eat goes into j
your acid-soaked stomach, it sours ,
and can't digest, makes foul gas
and sour bile. The blood takes
these poisonous acids and carries j
them through the body. Naturally
it makes you miserable and despon
dent, because your system is not
nourished—you lose weight.
Pape’s Diapepsin dissolves the
acids and sweetens the stomach. It
digests the food; no more sour bile
is taken up by the blood. Your ap
eptite is like a youngster’s again,
and gradually you get back your
health, flesh and energy.
Chew a tablet or two of Pape’s
Diapepsin after meals. It tastes
good, and relieves the misery of in
digestion in five minutes. It will
keep your stomach young and vig
orous so you can eat anything you
want without being afraid of the
consequences.—* Adv.
