NO ADDITION TO
STATE HIGHWAYS
Bills Providing For Changes Will
Be Held in Committees For
Some Time at Least

Bills providing for additions to the
State highway system are going to
have hard travelling this session and
the half-dozen already introduced into
the Senate and the nine in the hands
of the House committee will be held
indefinitely. Until the Governor works
out his Highway Department reorgan>
ization nothing will be done and 1t is
possible that in the event it is decided
to cut down the number of routes now
existing and to repeal the 1,10O miles
added by the act of 1918 to become
effective on June 1 next that all new
ones will go into the ditch. The Gov
ernor has given no encouragement to
new routes.
Thus far the Governor has been
unable to take hold of the highway
reorganization. He asked for sugges-
tions and has received many, but he
has been giving attention to his local
option, conservation, agricultural and
compensation bills, and highways and
education will be taken up later. For
the present State Highway Commits
sioner Bigelow will look after the
roads. His term does not expire until
June.
The Lincoln highway bill, which
makes state highways of the toll roads
on the proposed route from Philadel-
phia to Pittsburgh, is in both branches.
1t would cost hundreds of thousands
of dollars. In the Senate are four bills
for additional routes. including York,
Adams. Carbon and Clearfield. In the
House there are bills for routes in Sus-
quehanna, Tioga, Bradford, York, Ad-
ans, Wyoming, Elk, Clearfield and
Indiana, two for the latter county.

Sure Way to Get
Rid of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain. ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the fin
ger tips.
BY morning most, if 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 no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find too. that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly.
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need This sim
pie remedy has never been known to
fail.-Advertis5 5ment.
