Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruh

The only sure way to get rid Of dan
druf Ia to dissolve It, then you destroy
IL entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvOn; apply
n at night when retiring; use enough
10 molsten the scalp and rub 1t in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most, II not all, of your dandrufr
will he gone, and three or four more
a~pplications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single sign
and trace Of II, no matter how much
dandruf you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
iustrous. glossy. silky and soft. and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. II Is Inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.-Advt.

Foe IS TESTING CRAFT

John Hays Hammond Jr. Expects
Extension of New Means
of Warfare.

GLOUCESTER. Mass, Nov. G.
John Hays Hammond IT,, whose wire
less controlled boat Is being deyel-
oped with the assistance OF the Gov.
eminent, to-day expressed the opin-
ion hat the recent attack on British
patrol ships OF the Belgian coast by
an apparently similar device was In
the nature OF an experiment by the
Germans and the beginning of more
serious attempts on their part ~ use
shore controlled craft.
Reports from London concerning
the attack or the British patrol by an
electrically controlled torpedo indi-
Gates" Mr.. Hammond said. that the
Germans are to-day proceeding more
seriously on the crude development
which l witnessed a few years ago
near Berlin.
From the report Of the manner in
which the attack was carried out, 7
believe that this development has by
no meant progressed as far as that
of our own. The tactical mistake Of
endeavoring to attack n group OF
warships with ono surface topedo in
the daytime is as ridiculous az would
be. an attempt to carry u a torpedo
attack by a single torpedo boat
against a squadron OF capital ships.
II Ia evident therefore that the re-
ported attempt was some form Of ex-
detrimental trial, and II II very prob
able that II 10 only a precursor to
future attacks where the controlled
