decided that she could not remain
aloof from a struggle in which the
fate Of every country was involved.
She has made, and her dominions and

MAXWELL KNOWS No

To see her drive you would think
she was qualifying for the movies, at
least that is the opinion of the friends
of Julia, the popular professional
masseuse of Santa Barbara who takes
delight in trying all sorts of difficult
stunts with her new Maxwell touring
car
Julia says she is simply practicing
for some High Sierra trips she expects
to take next year but her accomplish
ments are so unusual that we believe
she is trying to find the limit of en-
durance and power in her Maxwell.
When 1 took delivery of my new

CLIFFORD SMITH
IS HELD ON CHARGE
Of GRAND LARCENY

With the defense confined for the
present to ss-examination of the
states five witnesses in the case of
State VS.. Clifford Smith, the defend
ant was bound over to the superior
court yesterday afternoon under con-
tinuation of his present bond of $500,
following his preliminary hearing in
Judge De SouZa's curt, though the
county attorney moved for an increase
Of the bond.
The particular aim of attorneys for
the state yesterday afternoon was to
unearth the history of four Liberty
bonds aggregating $3.50 in value,
through various transactions in which
they have figured in the last six
months.
A. B. Sanders, cashier of the Farm
ers' & Merchants Bank of Tempe,
first witness for the state, testified
to the purchase by A. ]. Peters, hay
merchant, of three 800 Liberty bonds,
| whose numbers he furnished the
court
| H. G. Corson, bookkeeper for Peters,
testified that Smith left Peters en-
ploy on April 2, although he returned
till noon, when he said he was going
out to lunch. He never returned
from lunch and had not been seen by
him, Corson stated, until yesterday at
the hearing. Some days after his de-
parture the bonds were missed, Cor
son said, and he recalled on the stand
that Smith had been alone in the
| same room with the bonds for a time
on April 3. The safe, though locked
at light, was always left open in
! the daytime, Corson testified.
Mrs. Charlotte Urquhart, 357 West
Sixth avenue, Phoenix, testified that
| Clifford Smith was known to her; that
he had given her three 500 bonds
and one $50 bond, whose numbers she
did not recall, and that she had sold
these bonds on May -.
J Bond No. S,272,497 par value 500
had been sold to B. H. Dodt, Phoe-
nix bond broker, Mrs. Urquhart tes-
titled. Two other bonds of the same
denomination had been sold to the
Arizona republican., 1919-10-12

Central Bank in Phoenix, and one to
the Citizens State Bank at Five
Points, she added.
The purchase of bond No. S,272, 497
by B. H. Dodt was acknowledged by
Mr.. Dodt himself on the stand, and
Attorneys Laney and Lewkowitz for
the prosecution, called attention to the
fact that this number was identical
with the number of one of the bonds
which Mr. Sanders swore he sold to
Mr. Peters originally.
The state therefore having estab-
lished at the hearing the fact that
at least one bond had followed the
Sanders, Peters, Smith, Urquhart
Dodt circuit, and as Mr.. Peters had
sworn on the stand that he had never
given Smith any bonds, or authorized
him to have bonds belonging to him
self in his possession, Judge De Souza
after attorneys for the state and for
Smith had rested, held the defendant
to answer in the superior court on d
charge of grand larceny.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Jan. 27.-There were violent fluctuations in the cotton mar ket here during today's trading. An early decline of approximately a pound was followed by a rapid recov- cry of about S5 points on reports of a drastic cut in British freight rates with later fluctuations irregular. The general list closed very steady net un- changed to 39 points net lower
 Local brokers attributed much of the early selling to the influence of un settled industrial conditions, particul- arly in textile circles.
 A report that British freight rates from $350 to $1.10 a hundred were followed by a very sharp rally, dur ing the early afternoon. There seem- ed to be uncertainty, however, as to whether the reduction applied to cot ton and later fluctuations were ner- vous and irregular
 There was considerable southern selling here early, but private reports of continued firmness among inter- for holders probably helped the after noon rally.

Dandruffy Heads }
 Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't.
 It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way. to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when re- tiring; 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 dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel hundred times better. You can, get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails.
