CAMP MEN
BUY BONDS FREELY

H. Salem, Ore, May 8.-The sale of
Liberty Bonds in the road camps
where employees of the state highway
commission work has proved to be an
impetus to greater endeavor in road
building. besides raising large sums
for the government according to State
Highway Engineer Herbert Num-.
Patriotic enthusiasm generated in the
road camps of Oregon by bond cam
paigners resulted in greater zeal in
construction wor and the lowering
of unit costs. the engineer declared.
Regarding the increase in work per-
formed. Engineer Num- said:
This entirely gratuitous assistance
given by the ME had such an enliv-
ening effect upon them that I am
pleased to report a distinct drop in
unit costs due clearly to greater per-
formances with the eight hour work
ing periods ince that time"
AT n camp the Liberty Loan COM
c,ittee made arrangements to visit the
employees in company with the con
tractor in charge of the work. The
contractoA L. C. Harold. addressed
the men $t each gathering explaining
that the purchase of bonds was not
compulsory but that every man owed
1t to himself as anSAmerican- citizen
to buy a bond and assist the govern
ment in conducting the war. He told
them that he had a check book and
fountain pen ready and that any man
who desired could have an, advance
on his wages, UP to, the, amount then
due him. for the purchase. of bonds.

Captain Hall was. pursuing, being
hard pressed. adopted this desperate
expedient to escape death and won
for several hours after the fight for
him to return before giving him up

about four ounces Of plain. 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 il not all. Of your
dandruH will be gone. and three Or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace OF it. no matter
how much dandrun you may have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging OF the scalp will stop in
.stantly. and your hair will be fluffy.

CHAIRMAN HURLEY
TO ASK FUNDS TO
BUILD MORE SHIPS

Washington, May An appro-
priation for merchant ship construc-
ton will be asked of the house APP
preparation committee tomorrow by
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board, in presenting estimates for the
fiscal year beginning July /. Until
congress is informed Of the boards
plan, Mr.. Hurley declined to indicate
their extent or exact amount %involv-
ed. With all shipyards in operation.
1t is estimated that more than 0 ,OOO.-
900 tons of shipping can be produced
during the year. On this basis. Mr..
Hurley's budget for the new year
probably will run close t 81, $780,
100000. allowing for new concrete
yards to be built and concrete con-
struction not contemplated in the
original plans Of the board.
Delays in steel deliveries, due in
large part to transportation. still are
causing officers concern. Only So
600 tons of steel plates and shapes
were delivered last week, much be-
ow requirements now, and only a
fraction Of what will be needed as
work progresses.
Director General schwab Of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation is en-
deavoring to arrange supplies so that
a yard will have steel available for
three or four months when a keel is
laid. He believes abundance Of ma
terial will act as an incentive to
speedy production.

The German Game.
The usual German game was to
have a small number Of planes appear
near the American lines while a re-
serve of four or five machines re-
NAMED out Of sight until the Ameri-
cans came into action. The reserves
would then swoop down in an attempt
to wipe out the Americans. The
