Ross L. Beclkey. whose election as
a supervisor of Lower Allen town
ship in Cumberland county by a ma
Jority of $50 attracted countrywide e
attention last fall. to-day consented
to be candidate for the Republican
nomination for the House of Repre-
sentatiVes from Cumberland county
FOR several days friends of Mr.,

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beau
tifuI, 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
dissolve it, then you destroy it en-
tirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; ap-
ply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
of it.
You will find. too. that all Itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop, and your hair will 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, no mat
ter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never fails.

stores at Vladivostok. 1t is be-
lieved in Washington that military
activity by Japan is imminent.
Action Seems Necessary
Need for Japanese action has been
increased. it is felt, by the signing
of peace by the Bolsheviki and Ger
man invasion of Finland. Also there
are further reports of the hostile
attitude of the Bolsheviki element
in Siberia as well as of the thou
war prisoners who have been armed
and drilled. A belated dispatch
frim Peking says Russian forces are
menacing the frontier of Chinese
or eastern Turkestan. Turkish and
German agents have been active in
this territory attempting to arouse
the Mohammedans against the
Chinese government.
Details Lacking
Articles of the treaty signed by
Russia and the Central Powers do
not go into detail, but German DOM
nation of the territory taken from
Russia is assured, Article III pro-
viding that Germany and Austria
shall be permitted to decide the fate
of the territories Gin agreement with
their populations" The new Rus
sian frontier from the Gulf of Fin
land to the Caspian Sea is to be
determined later, but Russia is to
evacuate Anatolia and surrender
the provinces of Batoum, Kars and
Erivan-the remaining portions of
ancient Armenia-to the Turks.
This territory has a combined area
of 10000 square miles and a popu-
lation of more than 100000.
Berlin announces officially that
Rumania has accepted the German
armistice conditions. The peace ne
gotiations were interrupted last

armistice and it was necessary to
agree to new. one before the
pourparlers could continue.

Interned Germans
Will Build Roads

Philadelphia. March 5.-Interned
German prisoners of war will be used
to build roads in this country, ac-
cording to information received from
Washington yesterday by the Phila-
delphia Board of Trade.
For some months the Board has
been studying the problem of utiliz-
ing the labor of German prisoners
to make up for the shortage now ex-
isting. Some time ago Miers Busch,
chairman of the inland transportation
committee of the Board, wrote to all
Philadelphia Representatives and the
two Pennsylvania Senators, asking
them to see that measures were
taken to put these men to work so
they should not remain in comfort

short of labor.
