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 1t out, 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 Il. at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
BY morning, most II 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 1t.
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, 1t is inexpensive
and four ounces is all you will need,
no matter how much dandruff you
have. This simple remedy never fails.

POSTMASTER ADMITS
LOSSES IN SPECULATION
w. R. Whitney of Franklin Gave Him

Is Under $4,000 Bail.

Burlington, Dec. WESLEY Ray
Whitney, for the last seven years post
master at Franklin, is in the Chisten-
den county jail awaiting trial in the
United States court on a charge Of
embezzling about $1,000 from the post
Office of which he had charge. He was
arraigned Saturday before United

when bail was fixed in the sum of
50, 600. This amount he has thus far
been unable to raise.

four children, is said to have admitted

HARVARD NOT DECIDED.
Whether to Take Trip to the Pacific
Coast.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec, Whether
the Harvard university football team
will go to the Pacific coast to meet a
western college eleven will be decided
tomorrow night at meeting of the
athletic committee of the university.
University officials had before them
to-day a sheaf of kilograms request
ing the crimson team to make the trip,
including message announcing that
formal invitation to the team to play
in Pasadena at the Carnival of Roses
tournament on New Wars day, was
on the way. The mayor of Los Angeles
joined in the request in telegram to
Dean LeBarron r. Briggs, chairman of
the Harvard athletic committee, and
other messages said George Stephens of
California was forwarding an invita-
tion in behalf of the state.
Opinion at Harvard appeared to fa-
vor acceptance. The players were said
to be almost generally disposed to 60
and the athletic Committee, it was
stated authoritatively, felt that much
good might come of the inter sectional
game. The faculty's attitude alone re-
mained in doubt With a two weeks
Christmas holiday already arranged for
this year, the objection which has aris-
en- to previous proposals of this ma
ture was believed to be eliminated as
the trip would not keep the players
away from their classes longer than
the recess period.
The Harvard team, which went
through the season without defeat, and
closed with its 10 to 3 victory over
Yale, has been disbanded, its coaching
corps has scattered, and partial recon.
struction would be necessary. Athletic
authorities at Cambridge, however, said
to-day that they felt the eleven could
be brought back to playing trim not
withstanding that preparation would
be handicapped by unfavorable condi-
tions and lack of opportunity to prac-
tjce

DESIRE AMERICANS
TO STAY IN PARIS
French Representatives Want Them to
Remain Until the Protocol
Is Signed.

Paris. Dec. 1.-The French represen.
tatives in the peace conference are urg-
ing the American delegates to delay
their departure for home until the pro
tocol is signed, putting into effect the
peace treaty with Germany, it was
learned to-day.
Although to-day was the date set
for the exchange of ratitications OF the
treaty, no definite news was at hand
regarding the intention of the Germans
as to the signing Of the protocol in
which they are expected to guarantee
the carrying out of the armistice terms.
The supreme council this morning
adopted the terms Of the reply to the
recent German note regarding prisoners
OF war. The contents Of the note, how
ever, were not given out.
The feeling in French circles, which is
shared in by some OF the other delega.
tions, is that the departure of the
American delegates at this time would
be misinterpreted in Germany as sort
Of abandonment df the conference, al
though it would in no wise change the
relation of the United States toward
that body
The decision of the American dele
gates to leave as soon as possible aft
er Dec. was made long in advance of
any sign that the Germans would hang
back when the time came to make the
Versailles treaty effective and long be-
fore il could be fofeseen that the Unit
cd States Senate would adjourn with.
out ratifying the treaty. Hence, their
departure now is entirely unconnected
with either OF those developments.

BULLET PLOUGHED CHIN
OF SOLDIER nv ROW
Colored Man Arrested in Burlington or
Charge of Shooting Henry
LaBounty.

Burlington, Dec. 1.-The police last
night arrested colored man named
Lucille Stieger, who is charged with
assault with dangerous weapon with
intent to kill, the arrest coming about
following the wounding of Henry La.
Bounty, a soldier of the medical corp.
and stationed at Fort Ethan Allen, Sat,
urday night in front of house on
First street. LaBounty has a deep cut
in the chin which he says was ploughed
by the bullet.
According TO the story told the po,
lice by LaBounty, he had been at
house on First street, calling on some
girls. He came out of the house about
1880 o'clock when two eolored men
we're standing in front of the next
house, talking. One of these made
some dispsraging remarks about the
girl who lived in the house and the
soldier took exceptions. He went oven
to them to ask them what they meant
by such remarks and one of them
drawing a gun, fired it at him. Ths
bullet narrowly missed wounding him
seriously.
LaBounty, accompanied by officers Of
the department, visited house neal
where the shooting occurred and iden.
titled Stieger as the man. Stieger came
to this city from Tennessee about eight
years ago and has since that time
worked as a laborer in Burlington AND
Plattsburg. He has recently been EN-
ployed at the chocolate factory.

Sec. Glass Estimate Calls
for Nearly Five Bill
lion Dollars
EVER ASKED
DURING PEACE TIME
Yearly Interest on Debt Is
Greater Than Previous
Appropriations in Peace

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 1.-The rec
ord billion dollar Congresses of ordi-
nary peace times faded into the past
to-day, when Secretary Glass, present
ing the annual estimates, proposed ap-
preparations of practically $5,000,0O0,-
900 for conducting the peace time ac-
tivities of the government during the
fiscal year 1921.
According to these figures, it will
cost more than five times as much to
conduct the peace time affairs of gov
ernment as it did in the year imme-
diately preceding the world war
The greatest individual estimates for
expenditures, Of course, go to the army
and the navy. The yearly interest on
the war debt, however, is 81 l,0l7 100000,
which sum alone is greater than all the
appropriations for all purposes what
soever Of any peace-time Congress
All in all, the estimates justify the
predictions made on the floor of Con-
gress during consideration of the war
tax bills, that the present generation
would not see the government conduct
ed at an expense Of less than four bill
lions year.
The estimated appropriations for the
principal government departments were
presented as follows
Legislative Congress-, $0,025 1888.

ment Department., 49,lll ,46S77.

nor Clement that he would be in Wind

This action Of the governor follows
the report Of committee appointed
by him to ascertain the mental condi-

the effect that the committee had found
that Kelsie was not now and never
was mentally responsible, and should
not be compelled to suffer the extreme
penalty of the law.
Kelsie has been at the state prison
for three months, during which time he
has been a model prisoner. He was to
have been executed on some day dur
ing the week ending Dec. 6.
Yesterday morning Superintendent
Walker, before informing him of the
governors decision, asked kelsie how
he felt about the approaching event.
Kelsie replied
well, I guess have got to take it
as it comes"
When he was told the truth about
what would really happen to him, he
was not much affected, but he said he
thought lately that he would not be
executed. During the last few weeks,
however, his condition has been getting
more nervous and he has appeared wor-
