Claims Half Million IS
 Due From Contractors

Little Rock, May 6.-The state capitol commission, in a counter claim filed today with the board selected to arbitrate the claim of Caldwell & Drake contractors on the state capi- tai, asked judgment for $548,- 326 against the contractors. The contractors in their com plaint, filed two weeks ago, asked judgment against the state for $322, 1929. The docu- ments are filed with Chief Jus tice E. A. Mccullough, of the Arkansas Supreme Court, chair man of the board. Federal Judge Jacob Trieber and J. V. Walker, of Fayetteville, are the other members. The state, in its counter claim, alleges that the contractors failed to carry out the contract to build the building. It is alleged that the walls are not as heavy as the contract provided for, and that an inferior quality of limestone and marble were used in the construction of the building. The contractors asked damages for a part of the contract price which they claim they never received.

People in World.

''One does not have to anticipate in
order TO be optimistic these days; bust
ness was never better" declared R. P.
Andrews. president OF the Retail Mer-
chants Association, late yesterday after
noon.
The public has certainly come to
lively appreciation OF the Importance Of

city in the world. and we are entirely
within the truth when We make such a
statement.
Capital Folk Best Dressed.
New Workers are famous as the best
dressers in the world, but New York is
only well dressed in spots. You can see
spots Of style at the Waldorf Astoria
the Astor and other places of assembly
Washington. however. has the proud
distinction of being the best dressed city
generally 1t Is a happy commentary
mat al OuE people are well dressed. we
see evidences Of this in practically every
assembly of people in Washington, which
circumstance that cannot be claimed
for any other city. | believe that the
unusual attention that Is being given to
spring apparel and other things at pres
mt Is harbinger OF better business than
We have known in a long while.
Easter is but two and a half weeks
IN. and a the rate that the public is
iOtng its buying / am convinced that the
National Capital is going to set sarto-
rial mark this year that will be a reve-
alton to every one"

A SIMPLE WAY TO
REMOVE DANDRUFF

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff
at once, and that is to dissolve it,
then you destroy 1t entirely. To
do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this
is all you will need), apply it at
night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the 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 dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hun
dred times better.
