PRIMARY CAUSES OF
HIGH COST OF LIVING

Mr.. Good. attributed the high cost
of living to four primary causes:
Increase in the circulating
medium.
2-Increased prices are made
necessary to meet increased cost OF
production due to increase in
wages, decrease in labor efficiency
and an increase In taxes.
3-Excess of exports.
4--The world has lost tremend-
ously both in man power and prop
erty. This loss has vitality effected
world production.
III the nation Is to receive relief
from present unrest and from high
prices OF the necessities of life, our
people must practice the strictest
economy. We have arrived at a
time In this country when we must
resist the incentive to buy, and to
spend money. and we must COM
mence to practice those plain home
ly virtues of thrift. saving and fru-

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid CT dand-
ruff 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 retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning, most
if not all, of your dandrutf will be gone
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging Of the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store 1t is inexpensive and never fails

ENGINEER TELLS
ATROCITIES OF
nun INVADERS
Mine Equipment and Plants
Are Demolished And
Machinery Moved.

Washington, April 21.--Frank Fl.
Probert, consulting engineer of the
bureau of mines, department OF m
terror, and dean Of the college OF
mining, University of California,
member of a special commission to
investigate the damage done by the
Germans during the war to the coal
and iron mines and the steel works of
France and Belgiums, after a per-
sonal investigation, has just return
ed to Washington with a first-hand
story of the almost unbelievable at
rocites of the Huns in the destruct-
ion and wrcckage of the industrial
life of France and Belgium. So svs-
tematic and diabolical has been this
destruction in one great coal-mining
region, Mr.. Probert says, that it will
take at least five years to rehabili-
tate this district and it will be twelve
to Is years before it gets back to
normal, pre-war output. He predicts
that with the indomitable spirit of
France, in spite of the fearful de-
struction to her steel works, with
the return of Alsace and Lorraine
to the mother land, France will even
tually become the dominant factor in
the future steel industry of Europe.
Exploit Iron Mines.
In a preliminary report to Van II.
Manning, director of the bureau of
mines, Mr.. Probert says in part:
early in the war the German hor-
DIES swept southwark through the iron
basins of French Alsace and Lor-
raine, and for nearly four years this
renowned mining area was held and
exploited by the invaders. Many of
the employees were made captives and
compelled to work in the mines und-
er German direction. The information
al boundary line between France and
Germany was drawn in 1871, to give
the victor of the Franco Prussian war
control of the iron fields, but since
that time development, guided by a
better understanding of the local ge-
ology, exposed for France greater
ore reserve at lower horizons than
that of the Lorraine Annexee.
During the German occupation
the iron mines were not intensively
exploited because of the necessity of
recruiting every able bodied man in
W tHe ueCOIl aTlnV anu OH dCCOuHI
of the large accumulation of war min
erals in preparation for the war.
The actual physical damage to the
mines is comparativcly small when
compared to the destruction of the
coal fields of northern France, which
is as reprehensive as it is complete.
Only in few cases, where pillars
have been robbed in the mines is there
any collanse of underground work
ings, but the equipment, both surface
and underground has been misused,
and where ore has been mined, the
lack of DEVELOPMENT will defer real
ization of capital until the explora-
tory work is sufficiently advanced to
admit of daily output approximat-
ing pre-war conditions. The mines
are not seriously crippled. but what
of the steel plants in which the iron
ores are smelted? In my opinion no
such atrocity was ever perpetrated
against the industrial life of any coun-
try. Magnificent plants, comparing
favorably with anything we have in
the United States, are now but tan
gled, twisted mass of structural steel

and broken stone. The wilful demol-
ton was scientifically planned and
systematically carried out. This af-
ter the removal Of all such mechani-
cal and electrical power units as
could be used by Germany. The ma
hciousness and efficiency with which
this crime against French industry
was carried out is almost unbeliev-
able.
Raced Structures.
"ln the coal districts of Pas de Ca
lais and Nord, a sector fought over
from the beginning to the end of the
war, changing hands frequently, bonn
barded all the time, all surface strnc-
lures whether of town, village or min
ing enterprise have been RACED. Per-
haps this may be legitimate warfare.

tivity but a few years ago and the
mainsprings of French industrial life
are gone, but the indomitable spirit
of France survives and already plans
are laid for the future. Bruay, at the
western edge Of the known coal fields
was was not in the fighting zone and
its output has been steadily maintain
ed, but going eastward and frightful-
ness is more and more appalling, for
the hate of the hun left it's mark on
the mines during his forced retreat.
The coal measures are overlain by
INV hnp ct~ IN
special methods of shaft sinking and
support to keep the mines dry. The
steel lining of the shafts was dyna-
mited, letting in the quick sands
and flooding the underground work
ings for miles around. In the entire
Pas de Calais region it is estimated
that 100 million cubic meters of wat
err must be pumped before mining OPP
erations are resumed. Having flood
ed the mines, the headframes and sur
face equipment were systematically
dynamited. the twisted debris in many
cases filling up the demolished shafts.
