This indicated that the people had

cash to meet her obligation.
For the first time in my connec-

Manager Dunnack last evening, after
the meeting. Never before has the
city collectively failed so thoroughly
to give according to it's means.
The amount of subscriptions over

negligible. yet the city as a whole

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This des-
troys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain. ordinary
liquid arvon; 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 COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy.

You can get liquid arvon at any

some length the employers agreed to
the amount as stated.
The newspaper printers have been

the jobbers get voluntary raise, but
in this case there are no strings at
tached such as an extension of con-
tract or anything else. The meeting

While. in a number of shops the job
printers already receive more than this

FINE ENTERTAINMENT
FOR THE CARPENTERS
Labor Day Celebration for Re-
turned Service Men of Local
1742 of New Haven.

Carpenters Union Local 1z42 of New
Haven, United Brotherhood of Carpen-
tiers and Joiners, celebrated Labor Day
by giving reception for the returned
members of the union from the mill
tary service of the United States. The
celebration took place in the Labor
Lyeel1m and the speechmaking, music,
eating and drinking was confined to
eight hours, from to II p. M, so the
carpenters could be fresh for their work
on Tuesday morning. 1t was generally
agreed that the best speech was rnads
by Private Benjamin Freedman, whose
khaki coat was covered with medals and
decorations for bravery in action, and
the room rocked with laughter when
Fannie Levine sang a Russian comic
song. Standing On dais under the stars
and stripes this little girl sang the
"Marsellaise" which aroused great en-
thusiasm.
P. Hubelbank was chairman and
POSTMASTER. Private Feldman, who
served sixteen months in France, said
that the most terrible thing he ever wit
messed was a bayonet fight between
American and German soldiers He
was so affected by it that he toppled
over into Inconsistencies. Soldiers
who served at the front say that this
was common occurrence. When Field
man was found by Red Cross agent
his company had advanced two miles.
Later, he performed brilliant feat of
ga11antry and by direction of the briga-
dier-gencral he was cited for bravery
and for carrying wounded comrade
on his back nearly a mile while under
a heavy she'll and machine-gun fire.
Private eF1dman has no relatives in
this country and the thought came to
him on the battlefield that if he was
killed there was no one in this country
to care. He said that after the recep-
ton by Local 1742 he. felt that he in
deed had friends here and he looked
upon the carpenters in this organization
as one family.
There were songs by Yetta Marniett,
Fannie Levine Sidney Levine, Hannah
Hubelbank and Sofa Hubelbank anil
songs and recitations by J. Cooper, Max
and Jafe. The arrangement committee
was composed of S. Daich, D. Hubel-
banld Phi. Hubelbank, J. Cooper, J.

vine, A. Horwitz, and ]. CozokeWitz.

CIGAR FACTORIES
MAY CLOSE TODAY
Tobacco Shippers in One Shop
Notified Thursday Not to
Report For Work.

No agreement was reached between
the cigar manufacturers of New Haven
and the Cigarmakers' Union and it is
possible that the factories will shut
down today. A committee of the union
and the Cigarmakers' Association met
on Thursday and an offer was made by
the manufacturers. 1t was not up to the
demands made by the union and the
offer was not accepted. -
The tobacco strippers in the Oster-
weis factory were notified on Thursday
evening that their services would not
be required until the difficulty with the
cigarmakers was over. 1t was reported
that similar notices would be posted in
other factories. The Tobacco Shippers
Union also made a demand for in
creased wages, the demand being ap-
proved by the international officials, and
this demand was considered by the man
ufacturers at the time that of the cigar
makers came up for consideration.
