Makes -Four Arrests.

On Sunday last Deputy Automobile
Commissioner Thomas II. Wildman,
made four arrests at Charlotte Hall,
two for offenses against the section OF
the auto law requiring that all ma
chimes be licensed and that those OPP
Grating cars shall be provided with a
drivers permit, and two for violations
of local ordinance as regards speed
in the village of Charlotte Hall.
The attention of the authorities OF
that village should be called To- the
fact that there are no signs at the
boundaries of Charlotte Hall and
strangers have no warning that they
are approaching "a densely populous
section.
Unless the matter Is looked to and
remedied, we fear that Southern Mary
land will forfeit the fair title of Hos
pitable," that has been enjoyed for So
long a time. 1t seems only fair that
strangers should be warned what rate
of speed is permitted through the viii
lage. Attention is also called to- the
fact that persons are not permitted to
throw glass, tackS, etc, on the road.

LONDON, March There was a
little old woman of French nation
ality, whose shOt-ridden little cottage
was about a mile behind our trench
es She had a huge supply of cider
and when one of us got money. and a
chance VIC would sneak through the
trenches back TO her little house,
knock on the battered window until
she opened il and handed out big
cup of apple juice "My good old hus-
band" as she called him, was killed
in the cottage by German bullet.
We buried the body for her and asked
her why she didn't move.
"Noi mol" she exclaimed. "this
is my home and if l die anywhere, l
die here"
One night we saw three little flick
ers Of light come from chink of the
suffered window. On hill, far
away, in the German lines, we saw
a tiny light blink three times. For
three nights we watched tho spark
ing chink in the widows window
blind. We didn't want to believe she
was a spy. because if she were taken
away we would miss our cider. But,
at last, we had to act. We caught
her one night, in the deed, and our
officers sent her away, l don't know
where. She had sold her country for
German gold.
Hers was only one instance OF thi
thoroughness Of the German spy system
One day we found a telephone wire run
ming through the beet fields from the
German trenches to a point iar behinC
our lines. il ended at a poplar tree
where a German spy, hidden in th'
branches had been phoning the enem,

Dcmeille was the spy Of all spies III
lived with us in our trenches, he sh0
at the Germans aud cursed them as We
did. But all the time he was sendin;
messages to them. And when he wa
caught in the act, he kept silence lik'
a man. Our officers took charge OF nm

he knew that his end had come. He was
taken away and sentenced to death by a

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way TO get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve il, then you de-
stroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces OF ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tins. ,ls -. *.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most if not all of your dandruff viii
be gone. and three or four more ap-
plications 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 at
once. and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous. glossy, silky and soft. and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
