which provides that in cities where

ians or Jews, official advertising
shall be published in German. Ital-
ian or Yiddish newspapers.
A second bill would abolish the
act of July 2, 1895, which provides
that all official advertising appear
ing in English language newspapers
shall also be published in German
language papers.
Another measure eliminates Ger
man lanuage newspapers from the
act of June 16, 1886, providing Tor
the advertising of sheriff sales OF
real estate in counties having more
than 10000 population.
The fourth bill repeals so much

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve 1t, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply 1t at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most, If not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single
sign or trace of 1t; no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.

GO0DLAWN SHOULD

EXPERTS AGREE
Valuable Information Furnished by
Government Experts In Sowing
and Care Of Lawns.

Washington, d. C.-If you desire
greensward that is slightly, attractive,
healthy, and capable Of producing an
abundant growth from early spring
until fall developing unsightly bare
spots or brown, scared turf, SOW your
grass seed in the fall and SOW it early
enough, so that the grass plot will
make sufficient growth to weather the
winter in a rugged, robust condition.
This information is intended particu-
larly for lawn makers in Pennsyl-
vania, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, and
Tennessee, and other States in the
same latitude where the common but
unsatisfactory method Of spring seed
ing dominates.
Mr.. Lawn Maker, If anyone urged
you to sow oxeye daises, sheep sorrel,
broom sedge or other Objectionable
weed in your lawn you doubtless
would characterize him as crazy. Yet,
If you sow your grass seed in the
spring this is exactly what you are
doing, as spring seeding really means
stirring up good seed bed for crab
grass. Invariably this weedy grass,

ton gets the jump and gains supre-
macy over other grasses which are
adapted to these States.
Good lawns are difficult to estab-
lish and maintain in the territory
mentioned. Two of the subtropical
grasses, crab grass and Bermuda
grass, are extremely troublesome as
weeds. This is particularly true of
crab grass, which during the sum-
mer invades most lawns and kills out
other grasses in large patches. Al
though crab grass is fair lawn grass
during the summer, 1t succumbs TO the
first heavy frost with the consequence
that the greensward during the fol-
lowing winter and spring is decidedly
unsatisfactory. Bermuda grass be-
HAYES similarly but is perennial and
difficult to eradicate. There is only
one way to control Bermuda and that
is to kill it out by careful digging.
Crab grass once established can be
eliminated only by hand wedding, a
method not advised except where one
is willing to devote considerable cash
and labor to battling the weeds. De-
spite the widespread abundance Of
crab grass in the middle States Of the
country, lawns have to be made and
management has to be followed which,
as far as possible, will eliminate the
pestiferous crab grass. By seeding in
the early fall between September 1

tablished relatively free of crab grass.

pounds Of red top, l pound Of white
clover and 20 pounds of Italian rye
grass, should be sown. Top dressing
the lawn with coating of one-half
inch of fertile garden loan is valuable
after the seed Is sown. The Italian
rye grass is used as sort of carry
over cover, because of its vigorous
growth during the late fall, winter and
early spring when the other grasses
grow more slowly. 1t will practically
disappear the following summer when
its associate grasses in the mixturt are
at their best.
Cleaning Out Infested Lawns
Even lawns which are thoroughly
infested with crab grass, If properly.
treated early in September OF each
year, can be reformed and made to
yield fairly good sod. 1t Is essen
tial that this rehabilitation work be
done early as otherwise the crab grass
will so dominate the lawn that it will
be bare and spotted during the seasons
when crab grass is dead and inactive.
In September each year the lawn
should be clipped very closely and af-
forwards as much as possible of the
crab grass shrould be conducted Wig
lorously as thorough raking will exert
little or no injury on the other desir-
able turf grasses in the lawn. There
after the soil should be scratched thor
oughly with ranks and loosened to the
depth of an inch or more, when the
lawn mixture previously mentioned
should be sowed
To improve an old lawn is frequent
ly more difficult tina nto make a new
one, and hence it Is usually imprac-
ticable to attempt turf reformation
where the soil Is very poor and where
the existent greensward Is especially
sorry. This rejuvenation work during
the fall season is usually neglected in
the middle and south Atlantic section
because at that time the lawns look
satisfactory and owners are not as en-
thusiastic about ornamentation around
their homes as they are in the spring

previously suggested, an application

area should be lightly rolled. Care
should be exercised when moving oil
watering the newly seeded plot tt
avoid washing out the seed.

Waste Paper Turned Into
Books for Soldiers
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Waste
paper, saved by public school children
in Cleveland, is bling turned into books
for soldiers, according to information
given by the Public Librarian of that
city to the American Forestry asso-
citation here today.
The school children, it was stated,
take old magazines and newspapers
to school once a week where they are
baled and sold to the highest bidder.
Save bale of paper" is the slogan.
The zeal of the children has been
stimulated by the starting of compe-
tition to see which school can collect
the most paper. After the soldiers
libraries have been equipped, the plan
is to purchase books for the libraries
of Cleveland and continue the good
work
This is fine paper saving
scheme, says the American Forestry
association. st is an easy and con-
venient method of collecting it and
has the added value of teaching the
children the value of conservation.
The use of old paper helps to save
our forests and it saves coal for every

three pounds of coal used in it's manu-
facture. 1t is hoped that many other

, new FUEL TESTED
IN CARFORD TRUCK

With the passing of the censorship
governing publication of facts per-
tanning to certain war activities,
comes detailed information relative to
tests of Liberty fuel conducted by the
war department and bureau of stand
ards. said r. III. Fetta, of the Weldex
company.
AS result OF these tests the new
fuel is reported to be satisfactory in
every resepct. The cost is said to be
40 per cent. lower than the cost Of
gasoline with a greater power-produc-
ton.
The manufacture of the new fuel in
wolves still process. The ingredi-
ents used are described as commodi-
ties which are now a drug on the
market. These can be obtained in
sufficient quantities to assure an am
pie supply. The formula is a secret
held by the inventor and the war
department.
Liberty fuel is described as being
scentless, tasteless and without gasi-
fication odor The report states that
1t is cooler than gasoline and that it
is non corrosive. 1t does not give out
SCOT or carbon and starts the motor
more readily.
The quality and specific gravity Of
the new fuel are changeable at will.
1t will ignite only from spark or
flame. No special apparatus Is re-
quired either in the engine or the car
buretor
Practical tests of the Liberty fuel
We're conducted by army officers with
I the aid of Garford three and one
half ton truck. According to the off,
cial report, this truck carried a load
averaged 104 miles per gallon with
Liberty fuel over a distance of 232
miles. The route lay through the
mountains of the Cumberland district.
The Garford used two gallons Of
water in the radiator and consumed
two and one-half quarts of lubricating
oil, an average of 1881 miles per
quart during the test.
With gasoline the truck, under like
conditions, averaged 6.37 miles per
gallon. 1t used eight and one-half
gallons Of water in the radiator and
four and one-half quarts of oil. an av-
erage of 63.5 miles per quart. The
truck easily negotiated the Cumber-
land district mountains on Liberty
fuel, the report states.
