is YOUR HAIR SLIPPING?

The presence of dandruff and fall
ing hair conveys a warning which it
is best to heed At first the loss of
hair may be so slight as to be hardly
noticeable. But no matter how little
may be the fall each day, it is work
ing toward the same and inevitable
result, and that is total badness.
You may have hair enough today,
but how about tomorrow and the day
after? Dandruff and falling hair
mean badness sooner or later and
demand the immediate regular and
energetic use of Newbro's Herpicide.

dandruff and allows the hair to grow

Consolidation of
Pennsylvania Lines
Is Contemplated
Proposed Change Will
Eliminate Unnecessary
Expenses, Says Mr.. Rea

Direct operation of all the lines IN
the Pennsylvania system west OF
FittSburgh by the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company is contemplated by the
board Of directors, according to an an
nouncement made yesterday by Sam
uel Rea, president. The lines east OF
Pittsburgh are already operated under
the direct supervision Of the railroad
company. while the lines west are oper-
ated by the Pennsylvania Company
This corporation, under the proposed
plan, is expected to pass out Of eX-
silence.
The expected changes will be Of an
intercompany nature, as all the $751;
900 900 stock of the Pennsylvania Com
pany is owned by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. Direct operation
of the western lines BY the latter cor
poration, Ny. Rea said, will eliminate
unnecessary companies, duplicate &C
counting and financing.
whether finally consummated or not,
said Mr.. Rea. there will be no dis
turbance Of the experienced and eff
cient organization of the Pennsylvania
system now at Pittsburgh, which has
charge Of the administration ana oper-
alton of the western lines. Under the
present pressure of traffic and in or
der to assist in the effective prosecu-
ton of the war, we need more expert
enced officers instead of decreasing the
number"
The lines now operated by the Penn
sylvania Company and affiliated roads
have a mileage OF 1888. Ia addition
TO the stock capitalization this cor
poration has funded debt amounting
10 s121,698,543. In answer to inquiries
Yesterday as TO whether the acquisi-
ton OF the lines west Of Pittsburgh
would involve new financing bankers
for the railroad company said they
knew of no such plans.

Wall Street was treated yester-
day to the spectacle of a STOCK
market responding vigorously to
the stimulus of an Allied military
success. The news from the Euro
pean battlefield was of a character
that stimulated buying and sharp
inward movement in stock prices
that held well to the close resulted
At the high prices of the day, made
in the afternoon, leading issues
showed net gains of | TO 3 points.
The rise was all the more interest
ing in view of the fact that it came
on top of two preceding days of adj
vancing prices. Activity was again
on an increased scale. Buying came
from professional operators who
were short on the market and
traders who have been quietly ac'
cumulating investment securities
ever since the break Of a fortnight
ago. Special issues were of more
than usual prominence in the trad
ing, United States Industrial Alco-
hol. a volatile speculative issue, ris-
ing 6 points on a turnover of $500
shares. Continental Can, normal
" inactive speciality, advanced "a
points on a transaction Of 100
shares. United States Steel COM
mon after touching 98A closed at
81. Steel preferred advanced "a
points on transactions of 1900
shares. Railway stocks displayed
ouieter tendency and did little more
than hold their own. Before the
favorable war news reached the
Street Pennsylvania Railroad
shares fell to a low record Of 46,
with a subsequent recovery to 47%.
A rise of 81 points was attributed
to the covering of outstanding short
contracts.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Decentralization Of Italian exchange
furnished the principal feature of the
local market yesterday-the dropping
to new low record of s.91 lire to the
dollar. This compares with a par OF
$751; lire to the dollar. Exchange
brokers in discussing the persistent
weakness Of Italian bills in this market
said there was scarcely any demand at
all for lire, while the pressure OF sale
is only moderate. Open market rates
have not meant much for some time
now, inasmuch as a person desiring
10 trade in lire has found an extremely
narrow market. ,
