WOrkmen Removing c. V.
Bridge Over Potomac River
Special to the Telegraph

Hagerstown, Md, Feb PA force
of workmen in charge of James Eng
Ter, of Pennsylvania, are engaged in
tearing down the old Cumberland Val
ley Railroad bridges over the Potomac
river below Williamsport. Two spans
of the bridge have been taken down
and the work of removing the bridge
will occupy a month or six weeks
longer. The bridge was erected after
the partial destruction of the railroad
bridge by the flood in the Potomac in
1889, the year of the Johnstown dis
aster. The Cumberland Valley Rail-
road last year completed new con-
crete and steel bridge across the Po-
tomac at that point.

To be possessed of a head of heavy.
beautiful hair: soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is mere
ly matter of using a little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just
get 20 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine now-all drug stores rec
ommend it-apply a little as directed
and within ten minutes there will be
an appearance of abundance fresh
ness, fluffiness and an incompatible
gloss and lustre, and try as you will
you can not find u trace of dandruff or
falling hair; but your real surprise will
be after about two weeks use, when
you will see new hair-fine and downy
at first-yes-but really new hair =
sprouting out all over your scalp -
Danderine is, we believe, the only sure
hair grower, destroyer of dandruff and
cure for itchy scalp and it never falls
to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove now pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking ono
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
few momInts-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this.-Ad-

DISCUSSION OF
LIVING PROBLEMS
AT WASHINGTON

Washington. Nov. 29.-With the arrival
in Washington of members of Congress
the subject of general discussion among
them is the high cost of living and the
food embargo to be waged by Representa-.
tive Fitzgerald of New York as remedy
The discussion has presented wide va.
rety of views, some members believing
that an embargo is not the remedy for
existing conditions and the subject threat
ems to lead to much debate in Congress
Members in charge Of other legislation
fear that it may impede progress Of ap-
preparation measures.
Rep. Fitzgerald said today that he
would have two bills ready for introduce
ton Monday bearing on the proposed en-
barge Among other House members who
talked of the situation today were Mi
nority Leader Mann and Rep. Borland OF
Missouri. Mr.. Mann said he did not be-
lieve an embargo would be placed on food
products and that it was not a remedy
for the evil. An embargo offered as a
retaliatory measure, in his opinion. differ
ed greatly from an embargo to regulate
prices. and sufficient warrant did not ex-
list for a retaliatory embargo.
Representative Borland doubted the Wis
dom of an embargo. but thought the soar
ing prices of foodstuffs could be checked
by some form of legislation.

Washington. Nov. 9.-Battle efficiency
. of the Atlantic feet. Admiral Benson,
chief of operations, told the House naval
committee today, is improving but the
recruiting problem still keeps ships from
the active fleet. With 81 battleships on
the list. only IA are in full commission.
The admiral said for practical reasons he
thought 1t better not to commission more
than II until enough of the new ships
were available to make the total fightin;
line of g.
If the navy had all the men it needed.
Admiral Benson said, it would be better
to get all the armored cruisers on the
Pacific coast and all the reserve destroy
ers and other smaller craft for scouting
work into full commission than to take
the older battleships out of reserve. He
thought 50 per cent. crews of we'll trained
men on the reserve ships would be ample
preparation against a war emergency
Representative Oliver asked if reports
from the captains of the Atlantic fleet
had not indicated that the men were
growing tired of long stays at Newport

pathetic sight at Newport to see the men
sitting around with nothing to do"
Admiral Benson said his attention had
not been called to such reports. MY ex-
perience has BEEN" the admiral said.

Five years ago he began to use his
spare moments blowing sour notes out
of a bugle. After lot of hard prac-

with sweet ones. Then he began to use
a cornet. Now he is the solo cornetist

Washington, Nov. 29.-The United
States has sent notes to Great Britain
and France. 1t became known today. re-

conduct through their blockade lines
for Count Tarnowski. the new Austro-
Hungarian ambassador to this country
and speaking OF the unfortunate effect
that a continued refusal would have on
opinion here.
The notes point out that it is an in
alienable right of sovereign nations TO
exchange ambassadors and insist that
a third nation. even in time of war, is
not justified in denying that right.
Great care is taken to base the rep
reservations solely on the grounds of
international rights as distinguished
from mere international courtesy. max

not asking a favor or assuming the at
titude of pleader.
Care also is taken not to put the gov
