Hope to Pass
 Cummins Bill
 Without Delay

Washington, Dec. 2.-Congress got into full swing today with receipt of President Wilson's annual message and inauguration of actual legisla- ton in both senate and house.
 The senate took up the Cummins railroad bill, hoping for it's passage before the Christmas holidays. House leaders arranged for immediate at- tack on the annual approximation bills carrying almost five billions, as sub- mitted by the departments.
 The house adopted during the day the, conference report on the Edge bill, authorizing foreign trade financ- ing corporations and the measure now goes to the president for appro- val.
 In the senate no formal move to- ward final disposition of the German peace treaty was made, and the presidents message made brief ref erence to it, with view to a special message later. Congress also will receive a special message on the railroads.
 The Cummins bill was before the senate most of the day with Senator Cummins explaining it's provisions and answering scores of questions. It will have right of way.

Brussels, Monday, Dec. 1.-The third conference of national associa- tions for the league of nations met here today, IS countries being repre- sented. Baron Deschamps, Belgian member of the Hague court of arbi- tration, who acted as chairman, eX- pressed the hope in his opening ad- dress that notwithstanding the con- fused situation in the United States, that nation, (which rendered im- mense service to civilization during the course of the war, would help to consolidate the idea of the league"
 Paul Hymans, Belgian foreign minister, also alluded to the situation in the United States and hoped tor a "quick and happy solution as the world needs peace and the securities of organization"

 He said he knew "perfcet unity of thought exists between the allies and America"
 On motion of M. Bourgeois mes sage was sent to the American League to Enforce Peace expressing the conferences recognition of the reasons preventing Americans from attending and it's appreciation of "their incessant efforts for the req lization of great international task" After sending cordial greetings ths message declared there was a "warm wish to, see Americans as soon as possible take the first rank among the delegates"

Simple Way To
 End Dandruff

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), apply 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 en- tirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find all itching and digging on the scalp will stop in- stantly, an dyour hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky anc soft and look and feel hundred times better. Adv
