PREMIER GIVES
 MAYOR OF METZ
 KEYS TO CITY

Metz, Dec. 9-During the eere- mony in the city hall, Sunday, in connection with the official entry of President Poincare, Premier Clemen- ceau handed to the mayor of Metz the keys to the city which the Ger mans failed to get when they cap tured Metz in '870. The keys had
 been preserved by a descendant of
 General F. A. Lapasset, one of ths
 defenders of Metz.
 After giving hearty greeting to the
 French troops three weeks ago, Metz received President Poincare and rep
 resentatives of every branch of the
 French government, yesterday. The visit meant more than military occupation. The people of Metz looked upon it as a sort of official
 entry into possession Of the city.
 They proved 1t by the presence of a. vast throng that continually cheered President Poincare, Premier CIemen- ceau, Marshals Joffre, Foch, Petain
 and Haig, and Gen. Pershing, who were included in the official party that gathered here,
 All the bunting in Metz was flying
 when the presidential train pulled 1 Into the station. The girls of Metz,
 wearing their national costume, were l banked on both sides of the street | from the station to the esplanade. i Behind them were packed men and
 women, carrying the French flag and wearing artificial tri-color bouquets in default of real flowers.
 All around the square of the es- | pIanade were great grand stands, while crowds covered the house tops 1 and filled the windows, Marshals 1 Joffre, Foeh and Petain and Gems. 1 Pershing, Fayollet and Gouraud re- ceived the warmest greetings.

American Party in Italy Visits Turin,
Then Departs for France.

Turin, Italy, Sunday, April 21.-H.
P. Davidson, chairman of the Ameri-
can Red Cross war council and his
Red Cross party spent today in Turin.
They inspected Italian and American
Red Cross stations and were guests
at luncheon where the mayor of
Turin spoke of Italy's friendship for
America.
When leaving the city for France,
Mr.. Davidson said that the American
people would be gratified deeply to
know that everywhere in Italy, among
both the civilian and military popu-
lation there existed a true feeling of
brotherhood with the United States
The effect of this fraternal feeling
between the two peoples would be far
rea ching and conducive to the future
happiness and welfare of the world.
The Davidson party, owing to the
closing of the Swiss frontier, reen-
tered France by way of Mont Cents.

Simple Way To
End Dandruf

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), ap-
ply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the fi-1ger tips.
By morning, most if 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 it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair Will be fluffy, Iustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better-Adv.

A hard rain prevented me from speaking
