GIRLS! LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL HAIR
 NO DANDRUFF--25 CENT DANDER|NE

difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten- a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw 1t through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is amaz- 1ng-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable lustre, softness and luxuriance
 Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's s Danderine from any drug store, or toilet counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment-that's all you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try a little Danderine.

Hair coming out? If dry, thin, faded, bring back it's
 color and lustre. k

Within ten minutes after an appli-
 cation of Danderine you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling
 hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks use. when you see new hair, fine and downy at first yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderine immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. Nc

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, Oct 27.--When General
Petain rocked the German line with
his upper cut to the jaw on the
Chemin Des Danes, the German COM
mand had to rake the whole western
front to assemble reinforcements and
bolster up the tottering sector.
A census Of prisoners today re.
vealed that the reinforcements were
collected not in units of divisions,
but in such small military fragments
as companies and battalions. And
those companies and battalions were
identified as of regiments widely
scattered along the whole western
line. Plainly the German high COM
mand with its reserve forces waning
fast, was compelled hurriedly to grab
occasional units from everywhere to
create a prop for it's Chemin Des

LONDON Oct. 27.-General Mack
ensen has massed 100000 of his Ger
man troops bare twenty miles
from the italian border, holding them
in the hope of striking a battering
ram blow that will pierce the Italian
lines and force the fighting on the
Italian plains.
According to- this information
which reached here today, all these
troops are from the Russian front.
To gather them, Germany has had
to strip all her lines to the north, to
retire at scores of places in order to
construct twisting battle fronts, leav.
ing a bare skeleton of trench de-
tenders.
Political and military reasons both
have apparently impelled the Ger
man staff to it's efforts against Italy.
First of all Berlin has been i'm
pressed of late with the alarming
loss of morale in teh Austrian army.
That loss was reflected at home In
dropping spirits and recurrence OF
nation wide movements for a peace
at any price.
The situation must have been and
may still be far more serious-from
the German point of vfew-than heav-
ilv censored reports from Austria
have vet limited, if it forced the Ger
man high command to the offensive
The inevitable loss Of men and ex-
penditure Of ammunition required 1s
high price for Germany to pay lii
her effort to hearten her ally again:
Germany is hard up for both men and
ammunition now.
Not only was the Italian offensive
seemingly planned to revive Aus
tria's military slump, but there IS
every evidence here that the Ger
mans hope to deepen Italian political
differences. Every dispatch from
Rome today emphasized that the
drive was likely to have exactly the
opposite effect.
The British press today admitted
the German campaign was fraught
with grave issues, but every conf
dence was EXPRESSED in General Cad
orna,s ability to withstand the drive.
Oficial dispatches indicated that the
withdrawal from the Bainsizza plat
can was being effected in orderly
fashion. The Italians in at least one
place are now fighting on their own
soil, endeavoring to stem the in

WASHINGTON Oct 27.-The lead
ers of Americas business genius
are breaking themselves on the war
wheel by their terrific speeding UP
to help the allies smash Prussianism.
The collapse Of Chairman Frank A.
Scott, chairman OF the industries
board, and his resignation and de-
parture for sanatar1um is Just an
example OF what the nations 81 a
year war makers are doing to them
selves.
The near-breakdown OF Admiral
Capps of the shipping board is anoth-
er. Capps has been called off his
16-1S-20 hour day schedule Just in
time to prevent his sharing SCOTS
fate, 1t Is said.
Barney Baruch has fought with
every hour in the twenty-four to keep
up to his schedule. He seems to be
doing 1t. Food Administrator Her.

and day Most of the day time goes
for conference, the nights to studying

work jags."
Secretary McAdoo though still go
ing, is worn out from the Liberty
bond campaign, but refuses to take
q rest. Secretary Of Interior Frank
lin X. Lane went down under the
war burden and has been Ill in bed.
What is true Of the bigger men Is
equally true of their staffs and sub
ordinates. Washington is war
factory working on twenty-four
hour basis with only one shift Of
skilled laborers to keep 1t going.
A certain group of cantonment en-
gineers started their task with a
continuous session Of three days and
nights. They have been at 1t con-
stantly ever since and even now
eighteen hours is short days work
for them.
The president himself learned his
lesson long ago and keeps fit by
taking frequent brief vacations.
Should his staff of volunteer helpers
confine themselves to an eight hour
day, Americas war program would
be set back from six to nine months
for they average sixteen to eighteen
hours a day now.
They are all under tremendous
strain, harried and driven by the
realization that the war branches
they are organizing are desperately
