Dandruf Soon -
Ruins The Hair

Girls-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.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is te dis
solve 1t, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
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 completely
dissolve 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. 1t is inexpen sive
and four ounces is all you will need,
no matter how much dandruff you
have. This simple remedy never fails.

PRAISE FOR FLORA
Weather Bureau Expert Com
pliments His Work Here.
Prof. Henry Says System Com
pares FavOrably With Best.

Prof A D. Henry of the central
weather bureau office Of Washington.
D. c., was in Topeka today visiting s
D. Flora, state meteorologist. Profess
sor Henry is a professor of metorology
and chief of the river and flood divi-
sion Of the weather bureau. He has
charge of the river and flood work
over the entire United States and all
warnings of floods in the principal
streams of the country are made un-
der his direction.
He expressed his entire approval of
Flora's plans for collecting reports of
heavy rainfall and river gauge read
ings in the Kansas river district. part
of which are obtained thru co-opera-
ton with the Kansas water commits
sion, and he authorized still further
extension of the service. Flora's sys-
tenn is a series of twenty-six co-opera-
tive, or rainfall stations. scattered
thruout the Kaw valley, and fifteen
river gauges at various points. eleven
of which also record the rainfall. As
soon as one inch of rain falls at any
given point, the man in charge of the
station telegra phs the fact at once to
the local weather bureau. In this way
flood warnings can be issued to any
locality long before the high water
reaches it
No More Surprises.
When the river begins to rise, the
figures as noted on the river gauges
are Immediately telegraphed to Flora.
In this way no locality can be taken
by surprise as was the case in To-
peka during the great flood of 1908,

ALL LEADERS IN DOUBT ON
 PITTMAN BILL

Washington, Aug. 21-Leaders on both sides in the treaty fight in the Senate were in doubt today as to when a vote would be had on the resolution of Senator Pittman, of Ne vada, a Democrat of the Foreign Re- lations Committee, proposing reserva- tions to the League of Nations Coven- ant separate from the resolution of ratification.
 On the Republican side, it was said that if the administration wanted I vote the move would be welcomed, but that the ordinary course would be for the resolution to go first to the Foreign Relations Committee.
 Senator Hitchcock, the administra- tion leader, indicated there would be no effort on his part to bring imme- diate action and Senator Pittman said he was not certain he would call the resolution up today.
 Senator Pittman made it clear that in presenting the resolution he sim ply was carrying out his own desire to get action along the line suggested by the President in the White House conference Tuesday. Other admins tration Senators also said they re- garded the move as taken on MT. Pittman's own initiative.
 While the group of Republican re- servationists led by Senator McNary of Oregon. indicated they would stand together for reservations in the final ratification resolution. some of them were not sure that in the mean time they would not favor the Pitt man plan as step in the right direc-

 was discovered the mans hands were tightly gripped about strand of wire fence. Scratches and marks in the dirt, which had not been obliterated by the rain gave evidence that the man struggled vainly to drag himself into the roadway after his assailants face was cut and slashed so as to make recognition almost impossible. Nine stab wounds were inflicted in the mans chest, and his hand was terribly gashed probably through his attempts to ward off the knife thrusts.
 The remains although in partly decomposed state show that the vic tim was a man of more than ordinary physical development. It is the gen. eral concensus that he put up a ter rife battle for his life. and that he was killed only by a number of per sons who used an axe or hatchet, heavy knife and a stiletto in accom- plishing their purpose.
 The story of the automobile scouts any idea that the murder might have been committed at the scene where the body was discovered. With a tan gible clue to work on the police are leaving no stone unturned in their eff forts to locate and bring to justice the perpetrators of this murder, the most ghastly in the records of the local police department.

lieutenants and sergeants of the de- partment. The members of the force were given to understand that no more temporizing will be tolerated and that drastic measures must be taken.
 The mayors original statement fol- lows:
 There are a number of disputes in this city between capital and labor. I believe these questions can be set tied by the parties immediately con- cerned. There are certain individ- uals, most of whom come from out of town, who are taking advantage of the present unrest to proclaim un- American doctrines and thoughts subversive to law and good order.
 ''I am determined that law and good order shall prevail in this city, and the fair name of Bridgeport shall not be jeopardized by un-American, irresponsible persons seeking personal gain at the expense of the comfort and happiness of the lawabiding citi- zens of our city.
 "We do not need or want the in reference of any out of town agita- tor to assist in the settlement of any questions arising in our city. and
 
 resources of the city to keep such persons from our doors.
 "I ask the cooperation of all good Americans fin my efforts as mayor to stamp out and crush the activities of the Irresponsible. lawless, and un- American elements now present in our midst.
 He added the following final warn ing of what would be done:
 "I have already advised with the police and shall use every means to prevent any disorder. There has been none so far anud I do not pro- pose that there shall be any in the future"
 The mayor refused to designate anyone to whom the statement was meant to apply. He declared that it was a general warning and those concerned could heed it or take the consequences.

PRISONER MAKES DARING EFFORT
 TO BREAK JAIL


 John Juliano. of 760 Broad street. who was arrested yesterday after noon charged with non-support, made daring break for liberty at police headquarters as he was being taken to a cell to await the arrival of the New Haven police, who requested the arrest. Bad luck and the presence of a large number of policemen were solely responsible for the failure of the prisoners efforts
 After the customary session in the detective department, the man was escorted downstairs. At the entrance to the cell room he decided that he had gone far enough, and therefor made a break for it. As Juliano lodged away, the doorkeepsr ripped him up, and he plunged down the back stairs directly into Sergeant Coughlin who was just ascending the flight. One of the prisoners feet struck the sergeant in the eye, the accident allowing the fugitive time to regain his feet and dash out of the rear door,
 As soon as he fled from the build ing, however, Juliano's luck deserted him. He found himself in a blind all ley with no chance for escape. The police building literally spouted men from all directions, and Juliano was soon overpowered by a mob of off, cers.
 John Lawlor of the New Haven police force arrived in Bridgeport this morning, and relieved the local police of their troublesome ~uest who nearly gave them the slip.

 At the last hearing before Judge Walsh Mrs. Meader said her hus- band had been persuaded to have her sent to the sanitarium. She ad- mitted having signed paper in which she agreed to remain at Blyth- wood but said she signed 1t because she feared for her life if she did not.
