Douglass Fairbanks, of Watch Hill
and New York son-in-law of Daniel
Sully. former Cotton King, of Kenneth
Ridge, Watch Hill, is taking up peda-
gOgy, and is exercising an active if
destructive part in the curriculum of
the day school established by the Fine
Arms Film company in California for
the instruction of their Juvenile aC-
tors and actresses. AS Miss McClung.
the official schoolmarm of the insti-
tuition, says plaintively:
I'VE love to have Mr.. Fairbanks
with us during sessions. and we do
appreciate the hundred dollar cash
prize he has offered to the best-be-
haved and all-around scholar, but the
trouble is that with Mr.. Fairbanks
around there's no such thing as good
behavior"
In the first place, it has been dis
covered that the actor has an undue
estimate of the Importance of discuss
Ing fishing and boy scoutism in pref
erence to rhetoric. OF course, the star
has no intention of upsetting disci-
pine. He was unfortunately born a
comedian, and that's the trouble. Miss
McClung has finally been forced 10
ask him to limit his attendance to just
Friday mornings, and give the chill
dren a fair chance at pulling down his
| hundred dollars. But even this is
proving unsuccessful-as sure as fate,
come Douglas Fairbanks day in
school," and even the most spotless
week of excellent behavior is sure to
end in pandemonium

WASHING WON'T RID
HEAD OF DANDRUFF

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of or
binary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morn
ing most, If not all, of your dan
druff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop at once, and your hair will
be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a
hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work. adv.
