new REPORT is
made ON FOREIGN
LANGUAGE BILL
Revised Draft Tends to Let
Down Bars on ParoChiaI
Schools for Religious
instruction.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, April 3.-The majority
of the conference committee in
charge of the measure reversed it
self Thursday morning, on the re-
port on S. F. a. the Siman foreign
language bill, and new report was
framed which five of the six con-
ferees signed.
The revised draft cuts out of the
bill the word secular" which was
put in by four members of the joint
committee Wednesday and which
had the effect of letting down the
bars for parochial schools to give
catechism and other religious in
struction in a foreign tongue. 1t
changes the wording slightly as to
other provisions, making it clear
that above the eighth grade foreign
languages may be taught as Ian
guages, but not used as medium
of instruction for other subjects.
Senators Reed, Cordial and ST.
man and Representatives Gerhart
and Byrum ratified the bill in this
form by signing the majority report.
Mr.. Reynolds alone held out for a
further revision. He prepared a
minority report proposing an addi-
ton to the majority draft, so that
church schools held on Saturdays
or after the regular school hours on
other days, would not be forbidden
to teach in foreign tongues.
1t was believed that both branches
would adopt the majority report.

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

II you want plenty of thick, beau
tiful, 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 dis
solve it, then you destroy it entire
ly. 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 gent
" 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
t.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
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 rem
edy never fails.-Adv.
