You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it
at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most
if not all of your dandruff will be gone
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy,
every single sign and trace of it, no mat
ter how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that ali itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, 1ustrous,
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 never fails
to do the work

DANIEL c. MASON
ISSUES NEW BOOK

Daniel Gregory Mason has had
much 20 10 with popular education in
music in America, and he has done it
without concession TO low tastes and
inferior ideals. new volume by
him rounds out a series Of studies
bringing the story OF musical devel-
opment down from Palestrina's time
to our own day. The three volumes
preceding the work under ones hand
are: Beethoven and His Forerun-
ners." 1.-The Romantic Composers"
From Grieg to Brahms"
Mr.. Mason is able to cloak his cru
dition prettily with figures of speech
and flowers of fancy. He is not dus-
tily dry for the average foot-passen-
ger upon life's highway; neither-as
he shows in the scant respect he pays
| to ragtime-does he think that the
vote OF the crowd is the final verdict
as to the quality OF a work of art.
Democracy learns-democracy appre-
coates many things today that left it
yesterday only bewildered or bored.
In his preliminary chapter on De-
mocracy and Music Mr.. Mason says:
Real democracy never forgets that
the majority are always inferior, and
its aim must be TO give the superior
minority a chance to make their in
f1Uences felt. In other words, to
level down to the people is to vul-
gariZe rather than to popularize.
Theodore Thomas set a model for the
conductor of popular concerts in the
best sense, for all time. when he re-
piled to one of his orchestra players
who said that people did not like
Wagner, Then we must play him un-
til they do"
Richard Strauss, Edward Elgar
Vincent d'Indy. Claude Debussy are
the four great protagonists of the
, musical art OF this decade whom Mr..
Mason chooses to discuss particularly
and he concludes his suggestive and
stimulating volume with a disserta-
tion on Music in America" in which
he declares Of Mcdowell: "The SUI
preme place he undoubtedly holds
among our composers is due precisely
to this quality OF personal distinction,
Of individuality, to the fact that his
music, in spite OF the pronounced
Grieg and Ran elements in IL, does
not sound quite like that of any one
else"
The Washington times., 1918-10-31
new COLUMBIA RECORDS

Lazaro, fittingly called "the tenor
of the generation" heads the list Of
Columbia artists who make new rec
ords for November. He sings that
magical burst OF passion which comes
in the first act of "Rigoletto," the
dukes careless "Onesta Onella.
BakIanoff, greatest of Russian bari
tones, offers the lifting fishers song
from "Giaconda," and Stracciari rem
ders an aria of rare brilliance and
powerful dramatic feeling, the "Pari
Siamo" of "Rigoletto."
A new record by the New York
Philharmonic is always an event, and
this month Mr.. Stransky's master mu-
sicians render LISTS immortal Sec
ond Hungarian Rhapsody" with the
brilliant Flower WALTZ" from tbs
"Nutcracker Suite" on the back
Among the other instrumental rec
ords on Columbia's November list are
"FunnicuII, Funnicula," by the HA-
waiian Trio. and several Serbian
waItzes by the famous Serbian Tam
bouritza Orchestra.
As for popular songs, Columbia has
some of the newest Broadway hits,
both war songs and sentimental. One
of the best is Irving Beriin's How
Hate To Get Up in the Morning.
Another IS Smiles" that wonderful
harmony that is sweeping the coun-
try.

Boston symphony Orchestra.

Through the courtesy OF Gatti-Ca-
sazza and the Metropolitan Opera,

Metropolitan's season on November

Thus II is by a very small margin
that we are privileged to know yet
, another great French conductor.
Henri Rabaud, who comes from Eu-
rope to direct the Boston Orchestra
for the season, arrived in the United
States last Monday. He has gained
fame in conducting opera at the
Grand Opera, Paris, where he was
under Messenger. 1t will be interest
ing to compare these three French
men who bring us the best traditions
OF tue French art in music.
Nicholas Douty will give a series OF
fvs Iecture-recit4ls on "The Dpe-s,-

of this work ever having taken
place in the Metropolitan or the
Academy of Music. For the public 1t
will be virtually a new opera by
Verdi, the great Italian master, and
sung by Caruso."
Mr. Douty always gives his hearers
a convincing glimpse into the operas
he essays. He has led US into fields
that Washington is never privileged
to know in the larger fOrm-the COM
plete opera.
Thus the opening week of music in
Washington will bring two of the
foremost orchestras OF the world, the
greatest 'cellist before the public,
and a touch of that opera world of
which we hope TO know more in fu-
ture years.

French symphony Orchestra.

The coming of the French Sym
phony Orchestra from the Paris Con-
iservatoire, on Thursday afternoon.
emphasizes an exclamation of Regi-
maid de Koven's that came from his
second delighted hearing OF this IA
nous organization in New York. Mr..
de Koven, at the close OF his appre-
citation OF its playing, wrote:
And, oh, my brethren, in this great
land of ours, please to remember and
bear in mind that last night we heard
a national orchestra, composed en-
tirely of Frenchmen, each and every
one bent to give to the audience the
best that in them laid to illustrate
and emphasize their national art.
And remember, at the same time, that
we in this country have no national
orchestra; and, furthermore, that all
the orchestras we have, with the sin
gle exception OF Mr.. Damrosch's, arg
conducted by foreigners. Nethinks It
would be we'll TO take this fact to
heart and ponder it,"
Commenting on the playing of Bee
thoyen's Fifth Symphony by this or
chestra, the New York Times writes:
at was an interesting experience
to hear this symphony. as now per-
formed with all the difference that
Richard Wagner referred to when, in
Paris. he wrote that French musi-
clans, sooner than the Germans, dis
covered the secret of interpreting

ated with the Italian school, look on
