LEAGUE OF NATIONS TO
BE TAKEN UP BY PEACE
CONFERENCE TOMORROW

PARIS, Jan. 24.AThe League Of Ma
tions will be formally taken up at
tomorrow's session OF the general
peace congress, it was learned from
authoritative sources today.
Much of the work in preparing
drafts of the various nations pro-
grams for the league is being done by
the respective delegations outside the
joint meetings, and it was expected
the prelimina-ies would be in such
shape as to permit Of a full discussion
Of the broad outlines of the plans to-
morrow.
The American delegation. it is un-
derstood, spent two hours in going
over their league plans late yester-
day, with the result that the formal
draft was practically completed. Yet
II was reported that neither the Amer
ican nor the British plans would be
presented in entirety tomorrow,
though they are farther advanced as
regards details than any of the 9TH
ers. Apparently, President Wilson
and Premier Lloyd George will wait
until the other programs are submit
ted and thoroughly discussed, then
they will bring forward the program
Of their delegations.
The correspondents. it was an
nounced today, will be admitted to the
full meeting tomorrow, as at the ini-
tial session of the plenary congress
last Saturday. Meanwhile, the meet
ings of the steering committee" con-
tinue secret.

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out DandruH

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve 1t then you
destroy Il entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces OF ordinary liquid
arvon; apply 1t at night when retir'
ing; use enough to moisten the scatr
and rub II In gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most IL not all, OF your dandruff will
be gone, and three OF four more appli
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace Of IT, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will ind, too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
troas, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. IL 10 inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.

DARK HORSE MAY
GET SPEAKERSH|P

The race for the Speakership or the
next House OF Representatives Is at
the stage where the proverbial dark
horse may take the lead at any time.
Democrats who are watching the
Republican race from the side lines
declare that Congressman Longworth
of Ohio already has Congressman
Mann OF Illinois and Congressman
Gillett of Massachusetts, the two can
didates who have announced them
selves, outdistanced.
A plan to get Republicans and Re-
publican members-elect together for
q caucus to settle the speakership
nuddIe soon after March is being
discussed. All sides declare them
selves in favor OF this, but none Is
pushing II very hard.

COMPLETE CONTROL

Some unusual conditions have been presented to the Ameri-
can people by the congress within the past two years.
The senate of the last congress was safely Democratic, but
there was not a time when the Republicans might not have cap
tured the house. But it was a part Of the party policy to leave
the conduct Of the war to the Democrats, and the impression to
the country that the president had a sympathetic majority in
both branches. For that reason the Republicans declined to
press their advantage, and left the organization in the hands OF
the Democrats.
In the present congress the house is safely Republican, and
the senate by a majority OF one is Republican. The disposi-
ton of the Democrats now is very much the same as the dispos-
ton of the Republicans during the war, They are satisfied for
the Republicans to assume full responsibility, with the idea that
something will transpre to give the Democrats an advantage in
the elections next year, or the presidential election two years
hence.
The Democrats, by making a contest for the seat of Sena-
tor Newbury, would show very clearly that he is not entitled to
a place in its membership. In violation OF the law he is said
to have spent upward OF half a million dollars, and fraud Of
every conceivable form was resorted TO in the contest to defeat
Henry Ford. II the Democrats should make a contest, and the
developments should warrant the seating Of Ford, the member
ship Of the senate would be equally divided, with the %vce-prest
dent a Democrat, and entitled to vote on a tie.
But the disposition of the Democrats, we take II, is to con-
cede everything to the Republicans, including full responsibility
for the rehabilitation measures, and whatever criticism that goes
with them. The Democrats appear to be as unwilling to share
responsibility as the Republicans were in the last session.

A SIGNAL HONOR

1t is an unusual and wen-rerited compliment that has come
to Miss Charl Williams in her appointment as a member Of the
Democratic national committee as the representative OF the
women of Tennessee.
The national committee has heretofore consisted OF one
member from each state. The future program OF the Democratic
from each state. The distinction that has come to Miss Will
liams is heightened by the fact that she is one OF 4S women
selected for the high honor throughout the United States.
Miss Williams does not belong to the picketing, militant
or other types of s~uffragsts, who have done so much to retard
the progress of the campaign to secure votes for women. She
has proved the capacity of women by her works, rather than by
shouting their qualifications from the housetops.
The usual good judgment of Representative Cordell Hull,
member Of congress from the Fourth district, is reflected in the
selection of Miss Williams.
