Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

IL YOU want plenty OF thick. heauti-
ful glossy. silky hair. do by all means
get rid OF dandruff. for it will starve
your hair and ruin it if YOU don't
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash il out. Th. only sure
way 10 get rid OF dandrun is to dis
solve 1t. then YOU destroy il entirely.
TO do this, get about four ounces OF
ordinary liquid arvon; apply il at mig int
when retiring; use enough to mosten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning most. IL not all, Of your
dandrun will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every sin
gle sign and trace OF it.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging OF the scalp will stop. and
your hair will look and feel u hundred
times better. You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. II is incx-
pensivc and four ounces is all YOU will
need. no matter how much dandrur
YOU have. This simple remedy never
fails.

ture portrayals, much less heard OF
that opulent magnate Of filmdom, the
National Film Manufacturing com
pany. Truth to tell, the very first
time she learned of its existence was
that evening when, worn out by a
bootless tour of business Offices where
she had hoped for employment. she
read it's "ad" in the Help Wanted sec
tion OF a newspaper.
Millicent had come to the metropolis
abrim with the high hopes and dimi-
nent enthusiasm OF youth. Incidental
ly she brought remarkable good looks
with her too, although, being unso.
phisticated and from the country, she
was not as self-conscious Of them as
most city girls OF her age are. The
home farm was hopelessly mortgaged
and for several years past she had
realized with increasing poignancy
what tax upon her aged parents
slender resources she was.
AS a girl grows older she Graves
more and better things, and, no mat
ter how slightly she may be in.

dulged in the matter, her support is
unavoidably more expensive frcm year
TO year. 1t was acute realization OF
this that had prompted Millicent TO
adventure citywards, armed with her
diploma from the Tingleville CONNER
cial college. proving her to be fully
trained stenographer.
Millicent had found no positions
open, however. Nobody seemed In
need OF a stenographer without past
experience or even a typist. Some
business men. she found, wanted a
girl in their Offices, but they expressed
themselves as being more personally
interested In Millicents good looks
than In her Tingleville certificate. So
Millie wisely looked elsewhere. Wise
ly maybe. but fruitlessly. Then one
evening in her bare hall room this
second week she came across the two
line "ad" OF the National Film Manu-
featuring company. which. II seemed
was lukewarmly interested In secur'
ing a girl for filing" A princely
stipend OF six dollars per week was
the practical inducement offered.
Six dollars loomed gigantic to our
Nrillicent Just then and. although the
thought OF being only an office girl
was humiliating, II was considerably
better than nothing. She determined
TO be first of the hundredodd appli
cants at the studio on the morrow
and so. indeed. she was.
On the way out next morning Mis-;
Millie occupied herself with a perusal
OF the newspaper and therein read a
long account OF the stupendous pro
duction which the National Film Man
ufacturing company was about to re
lease. The names OF fascinating Au
frey Arlington. darling OF the movie

AWAKENING COMES TO
WASHINGTON CHANGE
Demand for Washington Railway and
Electric Causes Unusually Active
Scene on Floor.

One of the most active markets the
Washington Stock Exchange has enjoyed
in weeks was caused by a strong demand
for Washington Railway and Electric
preferred stock yesterday. The floor OF
the exchange was more animated than
II Is throughout the usual days work.
Following the disposal of an odd lot of
twenty-one shares at A1-4, another fifty
shares went at 81-s The broker who
was doing the buying found no more
buying could be done at either Of these
figures and raised his bid to s4 IL. He
secured 175 shares at this figure and the
price failed to bring forth any more Of
ferings The bid was again raised, first
to 81 5-S at which price twenty-five
shares were sold and then to s. and a
transfer of twenty-seven shares was re-
corded.
No sales of the railroads common
stock were recorded, but bids were made
on the floor for that issue at s. and a
bid OF 81 for a single share.
The governing committee Of the ex-
change has ruled in connection with Sc
change and other exchanges orders may
be executed on the foreign exchanges
without reference to the minimum prices
established by the local exchange. The
ruling does not allow trade among the
brokers of the city or with customers,
but limits the activity to actual execu-
tions on the other exchanges
All other sales made yesterday were in
cluded in the bond list. They were a
