chase of additional land to the I'm

legislative action and the necessary
funds to accomplish the great de-
veIopment.
Capt. A L willard. who was
commandant and superintendent OF
the gun factory. was q guiding
spirit. having a keen insight into
the needs and future of the plant.
He was senior member of tho
Board Of Acquisition of Additional
Land and with the assistance of p.
Gordon Cooper. who made all ap-
praisals and purchases of land. and
H. II. Martin. assistant to the So
licitor. who passed on title and
payments, obtained the land in rec
ord time, and with minimum ex-
pense to both owners and the gov
ernment.
The Navy Yard is a great insti-
tuition for the development Of
Washington and is an appreciable
part OF its illustrious history. Pro-
vision for 1900 men on a single
shift, that can be increased in an
emergency. to a force of $4,000. is

breathe the breath of twentieth CEN
tury life into the constitution, and
is compelling Legislatures to shift
the paternalism or the state from
employer to employe.
All of the present day advantages
have been wrested from unwilling
hands, yet withal we find innumer-
able instances of beningant CO.
operation between employers and
workmen where due consideration is
given to the rights of the latter.
However cheering this in itself may
be, the regretable fact remains that
many of the essentials of comfort
able human existence are still arbi-
trariarly controlled by the few. But,
sooner or later, the paradoxical and
incompatible rule of Oligarchy in
economic life will be overthrown,
and labor will come into full reali-
zation OF it's long cherished dream
of equality and justice. While labor
looks hopefully forward to the full
fllment of it's ideals, it is not with
out full realization that it is a war
to the finish, and that there can be
no truce. Human strife at all times,
revolutions of all kinds. have been
fundamentally concerned with the
establishment of a new order, and
labor fight is to put in force the
principles which I have briefly out
lined. The day of kings and abso-
1utism is passed. No more can arbi-
trary possession be easily clothed
with legal sanction. The labor move
ment is progressing steadily toward
it's goal. and 1t never ceases to ad-
vance.

A Sure 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 entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace of
1t, 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, lustrous
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.
