London, April 4.-The sum of $780,
100000 was expended in maintaining
the civil services in Great Britain for
the past year, says an official an
nouncement. This includes the sums
spent on the kings palaces. Immense
excesses of expenditure over the
amounts originally estimated are ac-
counted for by war bonuses, increased
cost of labor and material and the
higher cost of food.
In some items there are consider
able savings. Members of parliament
turned bac ktheir salaries to the
amount of $4,000. There is saving
in the estimates for prisons, due to
the decrease in the number of prison
ers. Reformatories and similar insti-
tutions, howecer, cost more, owing to
a larger number of juvenile delin-
Iquents. There were considerable saw
ings in the diplomatic and consular
service due to the withdrawal of mis-
ions from enemy countries.

Behind the British Lines in France,
March % (By maiD-One of the Ger
mans favorite devices for opposing
British airmen on night raids or re-
connaisances is a barrage of the So
called "chain rockets" These consist
OF long chains of brilliantly luminous
balls, bright green in color, which
which are sent upwards like skyrock-
cts in strings of thirty or forty, and
which hang suspended in the sky for
q considerable time, apparently for the
purpose of catching the airplane and
setting fire to it.
The rockets must be driven up with
tremendous force, probably from a
gun, for they rise to height of 1O,-
OOO feet, and can be placed with great
accuracy The fireballs appear to be
about a foot in diameter. AS they
rise they are often caught by the
wind and assume beautiful curves.
Sometimes the whole line topples and
turns before it vanishes, floating for
a few moments like a row of strange
green japanese lanterns. 1t is sup
posed that the balls are supported in
the air by small parachutes.
Thousands of these chain rockets
are fired by the Germans on every
occasion when the Entente airrnen at
tack town or camp. They are part
of the regular shrapnel barrage which
is used to hamper the attackers, but
they give a much more spectacular ef-
feet than the bursting shrapnel, which
only gives a momentary flash in the
SKY and then is gone.
If a machine is caught by a search
light, hundreds of the chain rockets
are straightway sent up towards it.
They make a remarkable spectacle as
they are seen climbing up the sky
and passing, one by one, across the
beams of light, and finally appearing
in their appointed station in the up
per darkness.
British airmen declare that the sen.
sation of having these chain rockets
fired at them is rather pleasant thar
otherwise 1t is difficult to believe
that anything so fantastic, beautiful
and fairiy-like can be really danger

There is one sure way that new
or fails to remove dandruff COM
pletely and that is to dissolve it.
This destroys it entirely To do
this, just get about four ounces
of plain, ordinary liquid arvon;
apply 1t at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the fin
ger tips.
By morning, most II not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will
be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a
hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never
been known to fail.
