New Ministry May
Grow From Meeting
of War Bureau Heads

Washington. March 21.-Co-ordi
nation, the greatly overworked slo-
gan of official Washington, was en-
ployed by the President yesterday
in demand for more teamwork by
war bureaus, whose activities dove
tail in many respect.
The President did not say that he
believed a spirit of full cooperation
does not exist, but he expressed the
view that by conference and joint
consideration of important questions
the combined machinery would move
more smoothly.
At two-hour conference at the
White House the President outlined
to a group of five of the leading ad-
ministrators of special war bureaus
his plans for a general speeding up
of war plans, chiefly those affecting
the industrial and economic fabric
of the nation.
Aside from consideration of the
important questions involved in the
conference it was expected that a
new war cabinet would develop COM
posed of Bernard NJ. Baruch, chair
man of the War Industries Board;
Vance c. Mccormick. chairman of
the War Trade Board; William G..
McAdoo, director general of rail-
roads; Edward n. Hurley, chairman
of the Shipping Board; DIR. Harry A.
Garfield, the federal fuel admins
traitor, and Herbert C. Hoover, the
federal food administrator.
Although none of the officials who
attended the conference would at
tempt to speak for the President in
his views on the establishment of
such conferences for the period of
the war, the fact that he requested
them to return for a similar meeting
next Wednesday was taken to indi-
cate his inclination toward regular
conferences.
The President was brought into
immediate touch with the problems
of the five departments represented.
He was understood to have inquired
into the most pressing problems of
each, and by a general discussion
sought to reveal methods by which
each bureau chief could be of as
sistance to the others.

DandruH Soon
Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick.
beautiful, glossy, silky hair. do by all
means get rid of dandruff. for it will
starve your hair and ruin it If you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy 1t entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply 1t 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 dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of 1t.
You will find, too that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. IT
is inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails.

WILSON CALLS
FOR ACID TEST
ON CANDIDATES
Democrats Want Him to Mix
Patriotism With Politics
in Campaign

Washington, March 21.-President
wilson made two moves yesterday
which may be regarded as indicating
the active part he will take in the
political campaign of the coming
summer and fall. This does not
mean that the President will leave
for any length of time the heavy du-
ties that keep him at the White
House. nor that he will give anything
but first consideration to the posi-
tion accorded him in Europe as in
ternational spokesman for the Allies
in all their dealings or debates with
Germany.
But the President is eager that a
Democratic House of Representatives
shall be elected next fall. He il said
to fear that Germany might miscOn-
strue the election of Republican
House reputation of Americu's
entry or policy in the war. This
view has been urged upon the Presi-
dent by Democratic leaders in both
the House and Senate and they have
frankly told him that his personal
aid is needed to bring about the vic
tories at the polls the Democrats de-
sire next November
The President realizes that many
of the Republican members of the
House have been among his staunch-
est supporters in all matters pertain
ing to the war. His sense of fair
ness is such that on question of
loyalty he probably recognizes that
many Republican Congressman will
have an equal if not better claim to
the patriotic voters consideration
than some of the Democrats.
Picks Democrats First
But whenever the fight resolves it,
self into an issue between a loyal
Republican and a loyal Democrat the
President will naturally throw his
support in favor of the Democrat. He

The Russian revolution and the
social unrest apparent in virtually all
of the world have not been without
their effect upon the President He
already has expressed his warm SYM
pathies with the struggling masses
seeking to throw off the yoke of au-
tocracy. so it is not surprising to
find in his letter to the New Jersey
Democrats the admonition that:
Every sign of these terrible days
OF war and revolutionary change,
when economic and social forces are
being released upon the world whose
effect no political seer dare venture
to conjecture, bids us search our
hearts through and through and
make them ready for the birth of a

of greater opportunity and greater
prosperity for the average mass of

greater safety and opportunity for

A Ticklish Moment

here yesterday that show the trans
port service in which he is engaged
is one of the most dangerous in the
service. He has made two trips to
France, and on the last trip sighted
the periscope of a German subma-
rine about two miles off, coming to-
ward the Van Steuben at great speed.
1T was a ticklish moment" said
Johnson, showing his white teeth in
an amiable grin, waiting for that
sub to shoot her torpedo
While the sailors stood by to han
die the lifeboats and life RATS, and
everyone on board buckled on a life
belt, johnson said twelve 5-inch
guns directed ombardment against
the silent enemy. The shots spurted
the water high into the air all around
the lodging, ducking submarine,
Johnson said, while those on board
waited in tense eagerness to see a
shot take effect. The gunfire became
too accurate for the submarine,
finally, johnson said, and the peri
scope ducked beneath the briny.
I'VE didn't see any oil on the water,
either" said the sailor, recounting
the experience.
Another experience related by the
sailor showing the excitement of the
service in which he is engaged was
that of a ricocheting shell, which
killed one man and injured four
more during a trip across The water
was rough, Johnson said, and a
