Try as you will, after an application
OF Danderine, you cannot find single

your scalp will not itch, but what will
please you most, will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair,
fine and downy at first-yes-but real
ly new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No differ

Danderine and carefully draw 1t
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect Is i'm
mediate and amazing-your hair will
be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an
appearance OF abundance; an ineom-
parable luster, softness and luxuri-
ance, the beauty and simmer Of true
hair health.

as any-that it has been neglected or
Injured by careless treatment-that's

Construction OF an improved higl.
way from Little Rock TO Teyarkana
IS urged by r. r Thompson OF En-
reEa Springs as part OF tn Arkansas
link in the Southern Highway route
established by the National Highway
Association about three years ago.
The route extends from Savannah.
Ga, to III PaSo, Tex, and passed
through Memphis, Little Rock and
TeNarkana
The Arkansas link was given con,
irmation Mr. Thompson said, by 4
resolution passed by the Fortieth Gen
eral Assembly, and is the only rou,e
established in the stat. by the ma.
tional association. Unless the Ark
ansas link is built he said, Il proba,
bly, will be changed if another i'm
proved road is offered the association
for designation as part OF the route.
That part OF the road between Little
Rock and Memphis is largely embraC.
ed in the Fort SmithtO-MemphiS Road
Improvement District bill An effort
will be made to get the Introduction
Of a similar bill, providing for a dis.
trict from Little Rock to Texarkana.
The Batesville-Little Rock road. Hot
Springs-Little Rock highway. and the
Arkansas-Louisiana highway projects
are all important Mr. Thompson said,
but he believes the Little Rock-Tex-
Akana road is the most important not
now provided for. II would be OF
great value to the counties touched,
ne said, and the completion of the
highway would each year attract a
greatly increased volume of tourist
traffic
