SWISS FACTORIES AID
. GERMANY WITH ORDERS
Allies Not Only Ones Helped by
Outside Resources
Says Writer.

GENEVA. June Is. While the
Germans complain because the United
states sells shells 10 the allies, they
themselves are getting a vast amount
of war equipment from machinery
and electrical houses in eastern
switzerland.
Here the factories are working to
full capacity turning out things need
cd bv the great armies of the kaiser.
For example the works of Escher,
Wvss < Co. and the OcrlikOm cleo
trical works, both at Zurich, are pro-
ducing engine and ship equipment for
tho German army.
In many of the Swiss manufacture
inc companies Germans are large
stockholders and in several cases the
same companies own plants in Swift
erland and in Germany.
1880 Men at Work.
1t is estimated here that about
125OO men. representing skilled
labor of the highest scrt. now are
working in Swiss plants on war
orders. Shops of many sorts have
been modified so as 20 be used for the
production of things useful in war.
ID TO the time Italy entered the
war the Swiss shops enjoyed free
communication with the outside
world and raw material of all de-
scriptions freely entered the country
by way of Genoa and thence over the
ST. Gothard route 10 Zurich.
Now Italy has blocked exit by way
of the St Gothard and the Simplon
to all trains carrying equipment
which might in any way be of service
to the italian forces. Italy also is
communicating such shipments as
might enter into projectile or engine
parts.
For some time the Swiss plants
were receiving ore shipments from
Spain via Genoa and, much Of this
ore come from mineS in Spain con-
trolled 10y the Krupps.
As 10 coal the Swiss shops are
practically Independent. since they
use the electric power supplied in
abundance hv the Alpine streams.

DRY COLD AIR CIRCULATION.
Construction

The dry cold air from the ice chamber
falls into the provision chamber below, dis
placing the warm and lighter air, forcing it
up the large provision chamber on the right,
through the opening of the top, where by
contact with the ice, it is purified, cooled
and again falls thus keeping up a constant
circulation, which is necessary in a good re-
frigerator.

Dandruf Soon
Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty Of thick.
beautiful. glossy, silky hair. do by all
means get rid Of dandruff. for II 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
il, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this. get about four ounces Of ordinary
iiauid arvon; apply it at night when re-
tiring; use enough to moisten tho scalp
and rub it IN gently with the finger tips.
BY morning. most If not all, Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve 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 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, no matter
how much dandruff you have. This
simple remedy never fails.-Advt.
