Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair. besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle OF
dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy,
healthy hair If you have dandrufr.
This destructive scurf robs the hair
of its luster, its strength and its very
life, and if not overcome 1t produces
a feverishness and itching of the scalp;
the hair roots famish. loosen and die;
then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and

oily, get small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter for few cents; apply q little
as directed, and ten minutes after you
will say this was the best investment

We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that II you

"AlI-of-a-Sudden Peggy" the play
which was presented by the George
Washington University Players dur
ing the Christmas holidays and
which was to have been repeated
on the night of February %, will
not be given until after Lent, ac-
cOTding to announcement by Elmer
kayser, graduate manager of stu

Inability to find a suitable hall
for the presentation of the play
on WashingtOn's birthday is given
as the cause for the postponement.
1t is probable that the play will be
given in the Central High School
auditorium. Proceeds will be de-
voted to athletics at the university.
The spring play last year netted the
amateur dramatists approximately
$500, and it is believed that this
amount will be exceeded this year.
The cast has been selected, and
reheaTsals have been under way for
about a month. If the play is a
success, it is probable that it will
be presented at some of the army
camps in and near Washington.

Jewish Nation Looks for Protection.

Recent developments in the war

tector of the new Jewish nation of
Palestine. that will be created after
the war;" declared Norman Hap
good in an address before the Wash
ington Zionist Circle. at the Col
lege Club last night.
Mr.. Haywood then illustrated the
manner in which the war had
greatly broadened the conception
of all nations toward the Zionist
movement, and had strengthened
the foundations Of an independent
Jewish state.
He warned his hearers that a
failure to establish a national home
would result in a disentergation of
Jewish ideals and the ultimate pas
sing Of the race from the earth.
Elias Breeskin, noted violinist,
who appears at the National this
afternoon. gave several classical
selections.
Capt. David Albala. Royal Medical
Corps. Serbian army. stirred the
passioned reference to the glorious
traditions of Jewish history, and
declared that the achievement of
the Zionist dream would mean a
rebirth of the Hebrew race.
Robert Szold. president OF the
Washington Zionist Circle. presided
at the meeting. and told of the pro-
gress being made by the colonists
now in Palestine along agricultural
and commercial lines.

flying yesterday afternoon. British
aviators, of the British Aviation Mis-
sion here, will ascend again this morn

leave on trips about the country in
their machines, visiting the various
aviation training camps.
Only one of the two biplanes brought
to this country for use by the mission
has been unpacked and set up as yet.
Later, however, the other machine
will be placed in use. Washington will
be made the headquarters of the mis-
sion during its stay here, and many
flights will be made between this city
and various camps.
Weather conditions were ideal yes
terday for flying. it was said, and
should the weather continue good
flights will be made this morning and
afternoon by Lieut.. Sully, who is a

FORD PLANT VAST
AIR engine MAKER
Form of Contract Benefits Govern.
ment by Production Saving.

Henry Ford has turned his automo-
bile industry to vast airplane engine
production. He is making the bulk
of the new Liberty Motors. the U. 8.
Twelves. and already his quantity
production on cylinders has cut cost
estimates almost 40 per cent.
Aircraft Production Board officials,
although admitting that the Ford
factories were concentrating on
Americas powerful motor, could not
divulge the figures of production.
Some idea of the magnitude Of pro-
duction, aside from the great reduc-
ton in cost due to quantity output,
was indicated in the statement that
these motors would constitute the
greater part of Americas contribu-
ton to the allied air program.
incidentally the participation of
Ford in Americas aircraft program
on so large a scale has resulted al
ready In saving many thousands Of
dollars for the government. The Air
craft Production Boards form of con-
tract, which is being considered for
adoption generally by other war agen-
cies of the nation, takes 75 per cent
of cost savings.
Instead Of the usual cost-plus basis,
which has the evil of increasing prof
its as costs increase. the aircraft con-
tract fixes definite and constant per-
centage of profit on the estimated
cost. If production exceeds the esti,
mated cost. the profit remains the
same; if the manufacturer decreases
cost, his profit does not change, but
he gets in addition Is per cent Of the
saving.
