DANDRUFFY HEADS
BECOME HAIRLESS

II you want plenty OF thick,
beautiful, 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 1t out. The only
sure way to get rid of dandruff
is to dissolve it, then you destroy
1t entirely. To do this, get about
four ounces of ordinary liquid ar
Won; apply it at night when retir-
ing; 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 en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of 1t.
You will find, too, that all
itching and digging of the scalp
will stop, and your hair will look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
four ounces Is all you will need,
no matter how much dandruff
you have. This simple remedy
never fails.

COUNCIL SHOULD ADOPT FAWCETT'S PLAf

Out of the wrangling and jangling of fixing 1916
city budget has come at least one sane idea
Mayor Fawcett's plan of general cut in city sal
aries, propoftionatey larger for the high salaried
men, is worthy of adoption.
The city is still up against the fact that it must
out many thousands of dollars from it's budget.
Any business establishment facing crisis like
this would show no hestancy in looping off en-
ployes wherever they could be most easily elm
mated
But Mayor Fawcett's plan is more humane and
sensible.
The mayor suggests five per cent cut in salaries
for all employees getting 800 month salary less
This doesn't include day laborers This class of
employee is paid by day wage It includes stenogra-
pliers, clerks policemen, firemen, and other work
men who are on straight monthly salaries. 800
a-month employee for instance, would be cut to $95.
BY the sliding scale that he has evolved, Fawcett
would cut employees of the 5000 Glass; seven and
one-haf per cent and he would cut employees of from
5000 to $500 month, 10 per cent He wants to cut
himself and Judge Stiles-the only two city en-
ployes drawing more than 5000 month-121a per
cent
Fawcett's plan is emnently fair He is willing to
sacrifice $500 year from his salary in order to
help the city out of difficult hole.
An informal canvas of city hall employees shows
that they unanimous in prefering cut in salary
to possible discharge of part of the force.
The council would do well to adopt Fawcett's plan.

shows the .abrogation of so-called international
law and uselessness of our basing our attitude
toward the European belligerents upon such
law, with hope of converting them.
AT the beginning Of the war, the American
people may have believed that they had certain
rights under declarations and precedents of in
ternational law, but all of us knew that law
that isn't enforced is no law, and we all now are
Justified in believing that had we undertaken to
enforce international laws, we would today be at
war with Great Britain and France, as well as
Germany.
There being no international law, it is clear
that we should base our foreign policy upon

In other words, it's an exceptional case that ANY
student at the state university get off with less
than $50 in various entrance fees.

ADMITS FORCER|ES
OF[ANGHORNENAME
CAUSED HIS RECALL
War Department Tells Of A.
legged Crude Wireless Plan to
Create Pro-German Fee|inu.

The War Department has finally ad-
mitted that back of the recall of Major
George T. Langhorne as military at
tache at Berlin was the fact that per-
sons in Germany had forged his name
to wireless dispatches which were sent
out of Germany in the apparent pur-
pose to create sentiment of a pro-Ger-
man sort
Acting Secretary Breckenridge still re-
fuses to shed full light on the matter.
But 1t is learned that Major Lang
whereas someone whose identity is not
known sent out dispatches in English,
and used his name The Eiffel Tower
radio station in Paris picked up the
raise dispatches. and officers of the
French. government directed the atton-
ton of this Government to the mes
sages,
Sent In English.
The attempt to use Langhornc's name
wns n crude one. Denials continue that
the German government was involved
Not only were the dispatches sent out
In plain English. but were in some
cases wrongly addressed.
The State Department was displease
over the matter. but not at Major Lang
horne. His recall was suggested as an
indication of the displeasure felt here
ernment that such abuse of an attaches
name was not relished.
Moreover, the state Department felt
1t would be advisab bic to replace Major
Langhorne by another in order to avoid
any suspicion on the part of the allies
that the United states was keeping an
attache at Berlin who was pursuing
other than neutral course. Major
Langhorne's standing with the Gov
ernment here has not been impaired. as
1t was something for which he was not
blamable.
Think Investigation On.
1t is believed here the state and War
Departments are having an nvestiga-
tion made as to just who was guilty
of sending out the forgeries. But this
is not officially admitted. What is con.
sidered surprising here is that any in
dividual should commit such acts un-
less directed by those higher up"
The real reasons for the recall of
Major Lawton from Switzerland are
not disclosed. Capt. Charles w. Exton,
of the Twentieth Infantry has been sent
