DOUBLE SUICIDE HAS
DRAMATIC FEATURES
Two Girls After Eating Meal
Shoot Themselves at Same
Instant

Portsmouth, n. H., March 2S.-Mys-
terry today surrounds the double suicide
of Ethel Stanton. age % of Cinein-
natl, and Margaret Spalding, age Is, of
Newton Center, Mass, who shot them
selves shortly before last midnight in
popular restaurant here. Not word,
as far as the police could find, was left
behind to tell of the disappointments
and trials that led up to the suicide
pact. Only note addressed to G. F.
Malsbnry, johnson building, Cincinnati,
Ohio, was found on Miss Stanton. An
other, intended for Mrs. G. F. Spalding,
SS Paul street, Newton Center, was in
Miss Spalding's pocketbook.
Revelry was at its height in the cafe
when both girls entered. They ordered
meal and calmly ate it, Then both
stood up faced one another and sent
bullets crashing through their brains
from 80 ealibre revolvers. They had
occupied small stall, facing directly
on the main dining room. Diners leaped
from their seats at the sound of the
shots. The girls lay across table,
each holding the revolver that had
ended their lives.
Miss Stanton died instantly and Miss
/ Spalding few hours later in hos
pital.
The note to Mrs. Spalding was brief
| 1t told of the agreement of the two
girls to die together. 1t then said;
"Do not feel bad. | will meet you
in better world and will watch over
you and protect you.
Miss Stanton is believed to have
been student at Wellesley. That she
first intended to go back to the college
is indicated by the fact that a return
ticket to Wellesley was found in hel
bag.
IT was learned today that Miss
Spalding was a physical culture
teacher in Boston. Sh, graduated from
Newton high school last June.
Miss Stanton's father and mother
are divorced. The father, passenger
agent of the Rock Island railroad, lives
in Los Angeles. The mother lives il
Cincinnati.

DANDRUFFY HEADS
BECOME HAIRLESS

X X X x x X \ x X x x x \ x x
If you want plenty of thick, beauti-
full, glossy, silky hair, do by all means
get rid of dandruff, for it will starve
your hair and ruin it If you don t.
1t doesn t do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; 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 OF
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel hundred
times better. You can get liquid arvor
at any drug store. 1t is inexpensive anc
four ounces is all you will need, ne
matter how much dandruff you have
This simple remedy never fails.

CALLED BACK TO NAVY
Lack of Officers Causes Many
On Retired List To Be
Called for Duty

Washington, Mar. 23.-The navy re-
called into active service large numbers
of retired Officers, Secretary Daniels
announced today.
Utter inadequacy OF the Officers per
sonnel resulted in this order, which FOL

ence of American shipbuilders win be
held at the navy department tomor-
row.

tion, the Fore River Shipbuilding com
pany, the Newport News company and
Cramps Of Philadelphia will be repre-
sented, as win every ship yard which
has ever built destroyer or which
can build one. An extreme effort will
be made TO build the destroyers in 10
to Is months. Twenty-Five or "a months
has been the customary period.
No limit win be placed upon the ex-
tension ON the navy in destroyers, sub
marines and submarine ehasers, other
than the physical capacity Of the eoun-
try s shipyards to turn out the vessels.
While Is destroyers are already spe-
officially authorized, Secretary Daniels
announced the department would order
at once as many destroyers as can be
built in time to meet the present crisis
If as many as 80 can be built, they will
be ordered.
Immediate increase of the destroyer
fleet is the first desire of the navy de,
partment, Daniels announced today
Bids for the l5 authorized destroyers
will be opened tomorrow. In addition

fast motorboats, submarine ehasers

THERE MUST BE EXCEPTIONS.

It is only three days since we joined the Good Word Club and promised to always have good word to say about everybody; yet we are about to switch off from that good resolution and say unpleasant things about class of beasts" in the form of human beings, wh0 were it not for the fact that they are parasites, they would also be entitled to a good word; but their detestable manner of living gives us the right to make ex- ception.
 Yesterday, it was reported that down-and- out woman had attempted to take her life. Aid was called and she was taken to the hospital where she was revived and her chances for recov- cry reported to be good. In connection with the case, certain man was arrested for assault and battery committed on the woman which. the presumption is. led the woman to attempt her life.
 That class of men are designated by a certain name against whom war has been declared re- peatedly and fought in some quarters with earnestness but apparently Ketchikan is a haven of safety for them as they are and have been in the city in large numbers yet the authorities have done nothing to prevent this congregation of 'macQues' who not only attach themselves to the fallen women but abuse them besides
