STOP DANDRUFF!
HAIR Gets Thick,
WAVY, BEAUTIFUL
Girls! Draw a cloth through
your hair and double
it's beauty.
Spend a few cents! Dandruff
vanishes and hair stops
coming out.

To be possessed of head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff, is mere
ly matter of using little Danderine
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get
a small bottle of Knowlton's DAN
derine now-all drug stores recon-
mend it-apply little as directed,
and within ten minutes there will be
an appearance of abundance, fresh
ness, f1uffiness and an incompatible
gloss and lustre, and try as you will,
you can not find a trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and
downy at f1rst-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your
scalp-Danderine is, we believe, the
only sure hair grower, destroyer of
dandruff and cure for itchy scalp, and
it never fails to stop falling hair at
once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft vour hair really is, mosten a
cloth with a little Danderine and care
fully dra,t it through your hair-tak-
ing one Etlall strand at a time. Your
hair will be soft, glossy and beautiful
in just few moments-a delightful
surprise A7aits everyone who tries it.

ENROLMENT OF
SHIPYARD HELP
WILL BE PUSHED
Cards for Volunteers Will
Be Distributed Within a
Few Days.
SECRETARY BAKER
AIDS IN CAMPAIGN
Says Our Forces Abroad
Will Depend Entirely on
Ships Available.

Hartford, Feb. 11.-Because of de-
lay in securing enrolment cards for
the United States Public Service Re-
serve from Washington, Leo A, Kor-
per, state director for Connecticut for
this work, has ordered an adequate
supply of these cards from a Hart
ford printing concern and they will
be ready within a few days to send
out to War Bureaus and Town Com
mittees of the Connecticut State Coun-
Gil of Defense, with which Mr.. Kor.
per is cooperating in this enroll
ment.
Two cards are essential for the en-
roIlment of shipyard volunteers. One
is the enrolment card of the United
States Public Service Reserve which
is an Official branch Of the United
States Department of Labor. On this
are recorded answers to numerous
questions concerning the man en-
rolled, his citizenship, present en-
ployer and special ability in various
trades.
The second essential card is frank
ed postal card addressed to Edward
N. Hurley, chairman of the United
States Ship Board at Washington, D.
c., which the shipyard volunteer signs
and mails. This card is a matter OF
government business and no postage
is required for mailing it. On this
card the man enrolling for service in
the shipyards signs the following state
ment to Mr.. Hurley
"Appreciating the Nations impera-
tive need for skilled workmen to
build merchant ships with which to
overcome the submarine menace, I re-
quest to be enrolled as a member OF
the United States shipyard volunteers
of the Public Service Reserve. I rea-
lie that the world war will be won or
lost in the American shipyards. Every
rivet driven is a blow at the kaiser.
Every ship turned out brings Amer
lea nearer to victory.
"I understand that if am asked to
enter shipyard employment my COM
pensation shall be at the rate of wage
prevailing in such yards"
Upon receipt of this card Mr.. Hur
| ley sends to the individual who is en-.
rolled Public Service button and q
formal certificate of enrolment.
The officials at Washington were
able to supply Immediately only about
| one-tenth of the number of cards
needed in Connecticut. Consequently
Mr.. Korper has gone ahead and had
them printed in Hartford. 1t is ex-
pected that they will be in the hands
of all Connecticut State Council of
| Defense War Bureaus and Town
Committees throughout the state be-
| fore February Is.
"The number of men we can place
| and maintain in France will depend
upon the number of ships available
| for their transport and supplies"
This statement is made by Secretary
of War Newton D. Baker in tele-
gram to Mr.. Korper.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance
Often Rejected.

An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview of the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected iShbecause
kidney trouble is so common 10 the
American people, and the large ma
jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
prepare ton that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these conditions.
The mild and healing influence of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for it's remark
/ able record of success.
| We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of
such a remedy to give it a trial. ALT is
on sale at all drug stores in bottles of
/ two sizes, medium and large.
/ However, if you wish first to test
/ this great preparation send ten cents
to DIR. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, N
I Y, for a sample bottle. When writing
! be sure and mention the Bridgeport
Times.-Adv.

ODD FELLOWS
HERE MAY BUY
OWN BUILDING

At the meeting of Samuel H. Har-
ris lodge, I. o. o. F., held last evening
a communication was received from
the Odd Fellows association of
Bridgeport, relative to the purchase
of the building at Broad and Cannon
streets now occupied by the four
American lodges, Pequonnock, No.
4. Arcanum, No. Al, Harris. No. 80
and Adelphian, No. 80.
The Odd Fellows association, COM
posed of the representatives of these
four lodges, control the building at
present and have secured an option
from the owners. The proposition
has been submitted to the four lodges
for their action.
There is a strong sentiment among
the Odd Fellows that the time has
come when they should own their own
building and, as their present quar-
tiers at Broad and Cannon streets were
built expressly for their use about
eight years ago, the general opinion
is that the property should be pur-
chased.
S. H. Harris lodge will take defin-
lite action at it's regular meeting next
Monday evening.
Members Of Pequonnock lodge, will
celebrate the 50th anniversary of its
organization this evening at the lodge
rooms in Broad street. One of the
features will be the exempIification
of the initiatory degree by a team COM
posed of past noble grands of the
lodge. Officers of the Grand Lodge
will also be present. The lodge was
organized first in 1S41, and after a
few years of existence the charter was
allowed to lapse. 1t was reorganized
in 1869. The membership now ex.
ceeds 500, and the lodge has large
cash fund.

UNMOVED
BY UKRANIANS'
PACT FOR PEACE

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE peace treaty
between the Central powers and
Ukrainia is not taken seriously in
French official or semi-official circles,
first because no one knows whether
it VIII ever become effective, and sec
ond because, whether effective or not,
the people of Ukrainia have not been
able under the present conditions to
have their say.
The treaty, however, is regarded as
very instructive as to what a Ger
man peace may mean.
at is the beginning of an attempted
realization of Middle Europe says
the Temps, referring to the article in
which Ukraine is excluded from the
advantages guaranteed by any one of
the coalition of the central empires to

ROMANCE GONE
Efficiency Kills Sentiment as
Machine Makes Socks
In Is Minutes.
BY RUTH DUNBAR.

How snowy white your fingers look
against the scarlcr wOOlw was the
favorite speech of grandfather when
he was paying suit 10 grandmother,
who, If history is correct, never al
lowed little things like love and court
ship to distract her mind one minute
from her knitting.
The modern young man Is robbed OF
any opportunity TO make these pretty
speeches, for the wool i& no longer
scarlet but khaki. Worse yet, the
maiden sits before cold, steel ma
chine and grinds off socks in as many
minutes as it takes hours to knit them.
This is what efficiency does to rO-
nance.
In the various Red Cross wOrkrOOms
Of the New York County Chapter there
are nearly seventy-five sock machines.
Eight of these are in the model work
room ut 20 East Thirty eighth street and
others that have been ordered are held
up by traffic conditions. Here instruc-
tors teach the use Of the machine to
Red Cross workers.
A complete pair of socks can be
made on the machine In 25 minutes.
The machine looks like cross between
fishing tackle and pile driver. The
worker threads 1t through the arm and
carrier on to the threader. The body
of the machine is a circle of needles
bent at the ends like crochet hooks.
: Sweaters also are made on the sock
machine, the strips sewed together and
the ribbing at top and bottom knitted
on by hand.
Besides the machines In the Red
Cross workrooms there are many
owned by private individuals or groups
who work at home and donate the re-
suits to the Red Cross. In family
hotel. for instance. four or five women
can club together and bay a machine
