DANDRUFF SURELY
DESTROYS THE HAIR
Makes 1t Dull, Brittle, Lifeless, and
Causes II TO Fall Out.

Girls-if you want plenty of thick, beau
tiful, glossy, silky hair. do by all means
get rid of dandruff. for it will starve
your hair and ruin it il you don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to brush
or wash il out. The only sure way to
get rid of dandruff is to dissolve It, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid ar
Won; apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most. II not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it.
You will find, too. that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop, and your
hair will be silky, fluffy, lustrous. soft,
and look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. II is inexpensive and four ounces
is all you will need. no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple remedy
never fails.

Chairman Fitzgerald Tells His Col
leagues They Seem to Regard
Appropriations as a Joke.
must CHECK EXTRAVAGANcES"

Representative John Fitzgerald. Of New
York, chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations, soIemnly warned the
Democrats of the House yesterday that
unless they put a check on the rapidly
rising expenditures they would be called
sharply to account by the people. Mr..
Fitzgerald declared that the Democratic
party. in its platform, had made pledges
TO retrench, but that it had piled up ex-
penditures in such large measure that
It had become the laughing stock of the
country. The House had the legislative
bill under consideration and had voted
down a recommendation made by the
Appropriations Committee that would
have saved thousands of dollars.
THE Democratic party is pledged TO
economy in the public service" said Mr..
Fitzgerald. For years we stood here
and accused the Republicans OF eXtrav-
aKancc. l for one made those accusa-
tions in good faith. / believed them to
be true. I believe that when We came into
power we would take steps to stop ex-
travagant appropriations"
In the next few months ] shall be
called upon TO review the appropriating
record OF this Democratic House." said
Mr.. Fitzgerald. Whenever l think of
the horrible mess that ! will be called
upon to present to the country feel like
quitting my post. Some members on the
Democratic side think this question of
expenditures is a huge joke. Its a seri-
Gus matter now and may prove more
serious in the future"

TANGO CONTESTS FOR BALL

Washington suffragists took great cheer
yesterday from a communication from
Attorney General McReynolds to the ef-
feet that he would make no recommenda-
tfon against women employees of the gov
eminent marching in the big suffrage
procession here next May ..
!. The ''antis'' had made such strenuous
-opjection on technical grounds to partIci-
patton in the suffrage demonstration by
rDiIien employees that the Congressional
Union, not content with the ruling OF the
Civil Service Commission, wrote the At
itorney General asking for a legal opin-
ion. Mr. McReynolds replied as follows:
II understand that the Civil Service
Commission has already explained the
Law, and regulations which affect the sub
Ject. and I know no reason why l should
express any dissent from the conclusion
that commission reached
Q1he commission ruled that the women
might march as individuals, but en-
phasized that they must not do so as
government employees. Suffragists now
regard the matter as settled and are pre-
pairing to make room for at least loo
women from the government depart

Senate of his resolution calling upon
the organization committee to furnish
the Senate with the data collected by
1t during the investigation of the
banking conditions of the country and
the reasons which had led the com
mittee to make its selections as finally
announced.
Senator Hitchcock said he believed the
committee had obtained the views Of the
bankers In all the various sections of
the United States and then had disre-
garded them. He remarked that In his
own State (Nebraska). only. Of the 24i
national banks there had expressed a
willingness to have the regional bank
with which Nebraska should DEAL estab-
lished in Kansas City. He said that all
of the course OF business out OF Nebraska
was with Chicago.
In answer to a question by Senator
Clapp. OF Minnesota. Senator Hitchcock
explained that he felt IL the facts which
had been furnished the organization COM
mittee could be given to the public and
laid before the Senate, grounds might be
developed which would lead the Federal
Reserve Board to reverse or modify the
action of the organization committee.
The banks of the country" said SEN
ator Hitchcock, ARE afraid OF these offl-
cials, and for that reason are inclined to
suffer the abuses Of the organization
committee in silence rather than take an
aggressive stand. II is for this reason
that / have deemed II necessary to initi-
ate action in the Senate"
Senator Warren of Wyoming also ut'
tered a complaint on behalf Of Wyoming.
which. he said. should never have been
included in the Kansas City district. The
business channel for Wyoming. said Sen
ator Warren, is through Omaha and Chi
cago.
Another sufferer from the alleged par
tiality of the organization committee Is
Pittsburgh. according to Senator Oliver
of Pennsylvania. He said that the inclu-
sion OF Pittsburgh in the district OF which
Cleveland was the central point was i'm
measurably inconvenient to his home
town. Then he quoted from Alice in

FIVE STATES MALARIA.RIDDEN.
Report Tells of Conditions I'm Parts
of the south.

Ten thousand cases of malaria a month
from June to November In each of the
following States; Alabama. Arkansas.
South Carolina, Georgia. and Florida. is
one of the striking items in a United
States Health Bureau report issued yes
terday.
Nearly one-third of all the deaths from
malaria IN Alabama from 1910 to 1917
were of children not more than ten years
old
Mississippi statistics show more than
twice as many deaths among colored
people during the first ten months of
1913 than among the whites.
The mosquito is blamed as the chief
carrier of the malarial germ, although
parasites in the blood are also a factor.
Malaria lowers the productive capacity
of workers and also causes two weeks
absence from work per man on the aver
age during the malarial season.

WITNESSES DEFY
I.G.C AT inquiry
Billiard Company Officials Re
fuse to Answer Queries m L
New Haven Case.
MANDAMUS TO BE ASKED
cons1ess May Take Hand-Railroad
Said to Have Practically Given
-- Away" Funds.

An effort by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to throw light on some of the
dark corners Of the financing Of the
New. Haven Railroad has been met by
stubborn opposition on the part of some
of the men involved. Officials Of the
Bifard Company, Of New Haven, which
has figured mysteriously in New Haven
transactions of former days, declined
fatty TO answer questions relating to the
AFFAIRS OF their company.
As a result of this defiant attitude, the
Interstate Commerce Commission has de-
cided to go to the District Supreme Court
Monday morning and ask for a manda-
mus compelling the Billiard officials to
testify and to produce their books. The
Billiard people contend that the commits
sion has no jurisdiction under the Senate
resolution authorizing the inquiry. or
under the law. to investigate them.
The development at yesterdays inquiry
has served TO bring out sharply the diff
ferences that exist between Charles S.
Mellen and the men who surrounded him
In the old management of the New Ha-
ven. and those who are now at the helm
under President Elliott. Itwas disclosed
that Mr. Elliott and his followers has
exerted themselves to the utmost in an
effort to persuade John L. Billiard and
others concerned in the present inquiry
TO produce the books and to clear them
selves OF the suspicion raised by the In
terstate Commerce Commissions accusa-
tons
Laugh in Their Sleeves.
Mr.. Mellen and the men associated with
him, however. sat at yesterdays hearing
and smiled behind their hands at the
futile efforts of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to get new Information as
TO the details of a transaction which the
commission has charged appears to nave
cost the stockholders of the New York,
New. Haven and Hartford Railroad BE-
tween 8, 10000 and S3.O0o.O0o.-
The dividing line between the old and
the new was indicated further by requests
from Walker D. Hines, the New Haven's
counsel, that the examiners be specific in
referring to the New Haven's president,
so.there might be no confusion between
Mr.. Mellen and Mr.. Elliott.
The commission has charged that on
the face Of one transaction Mr.. Billiard
made, without the investment of a dollar
In excess of all expenditures by MIN,
slightly over S2,700.00o,' and that upon
the record as 1t stands. the New Haven
Company has given away the funds of

May Go to Congress.
As result of this attitude members of
Congress undoubtedly will take hand in
the matter again, in the event of a court
decision going against the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The transaction on which the commits
sion Is seeking light chiefly involves the
sale by the New England Navigation
.Cpmpany,-a-N6N fIafeh slibsidIsrs,-o
1cs. .lsS sharess Of SBestonAand Maine stock
to Mr.. Billiard and the repurchase from
him Of the same shares at a subsequent
date.
The sale is supposed to have been made
in 1908, because Of agitation in the Mas
sachusetts legislature against the owner
ship by the New Haven Of Boston and
Maine stock. and the repurchase took
place after this agitation had subsided.
In the sale OF the stock to Mr.. Billiard in
1905, however, the Navigation Company
got only SIS a share, and when II came
to buy II back, paid $50 a share.
Billiard paid for the stock with Nl,ooO.-
0Oe, which he secured on 1t from the Ma
tional City Bank, and with his unse-
cured note for s2.74S,5oo. The Interstate
commerce uciu IhdA
paid no money and gave no security, but
that, so far as the record showed, had
made a profit of at least $2,50OOoo.
Purpose of Inquiry.
The Interstate Commerce Commissions
attorneys in the course of the day dis
closed clearly what the purpose OF their
investigation is. They intend to hnd out
IL the Billiard holding company really
represented the New Haven officials and
directors in disguise. and acted for them
in the purchase and sale OF the Boston
and Maine stock Also the commission
desires to ascertain whether the men
connected with the Billiard Company
really profited from the transaction in
volving the sale of the Boston and Maine
stock, and what were, in fact, the rela-
tions of this company to the railroad.
Among the witnesses called yesterday
were II. B. whipple. of New Haven
treasurer Of the Billiard Company: Sam
uel ]. Hemenway. president OF the Sec
ond National Bank Of New Haven and
former treasurer of the company; Ed
ward E. Field, treasurer Of the Gamble
Desmond Company, of New Haven, who
would neither acknowledge nor deny that
he had been an officer Of the Billiard
COMPANY. and Samuel Morehouse, coun-
sci for the Billiard Company.
The hearing was adjourned until
April %.
