RAPID INCREASE SHOWN
IN THE LABOR SURPLUS
Department of Labor Urges EARLY
Action on Legislation to Ad.
just War Contracts.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Early action
on legislation TO adjust war contrac.
controversies was urged by the de-
partment OF labor, in a statement
showing that the labor surplus in
many industrial centers had in
creased rapidly in the last ten days.
Plants heretofore engaged in war
work were said not to be changing
back to peace activities rapidlv
enough to hold their proper propor-
ton OF labor. The cancelling of war
contracts with no provision for an
early financial adjustment of the
manufacturers investment in war
machinery. materials and partially
completed products was blamed for
piunging some concerns into state
bordering on stagnation.
The department of labor's in
vestigation OF ways and means to
stimulate building and improvements
and augment the absorption of labor
in industry. disclosed these two i'm
portant WAYS Of getting results" the
statement SAYS:
Il. Legislation enabling tn
building and loan associations OF the
country to use their real estate
mortgages for collateral in a system
OF federal home loan banks.
2. Legislation TO authorize i'm
medlate adjustment and payment by
the government OF reasonable
claims growing out OF the summary
resembling of war contracts.
THE former would permit HON
builders to avail themselves of al
most two billion dollars in loans
the latter would provide most need

CONSIDER CONSTITUTION
ChristenSen-McGhee Concur
rent Resolution Considered
Most Important Legislation
Before Assembly.

Chistensen-McGhe concurrent reso
luton from the senate proposing to
submit to the people the question OF
rewriting the state constitution. The
constitution was written in 1S9
and is in many respects obsolete or
encountered with restrictions. This
question is now the most important
piece of legislation before the lower
house and will likely be reported out
by the committee within the next few
days. ConCcnsus of opinion is that
a two-thirds majority in the hous ,
can be mustered for the passage of
the resolution. If the resolution
should be approved by the house. the
question would be submitted to the
people at the general election of
1920. The following legislature
would then be required TO frame sucI
regulations governing the calling
and fixing the time for holding the
convention. which would be in the
spring or more likely in the summer
of 1921.

That the American people are the
easiest spenders in the world can
be judged from the persistent urging

President Wilson will sign the bill

pony up. But is not this rather a

arno Destroys
Dandruff BaCilli

Science has perfected a wonder
fui preparation that stops Seborr-,
hea (the medical term for dandruff)
by killing the dandruff microbe. :
Its name is FAMO and it is al
product of one of the famous
pharmaceutical houses of Detroit
The ingredients have never been
used on the scalp before but they
are we'll known to physicians.
As fast as nature grows new hair
the Seborrhea germ kills it off.
Unless you destroy the germ
with FAMO, the new hair will grow
weaker and weaker and badness
finally will result.
FAMO destroys the dandruf ba-
cilli and makes new, luxuriant hair
grow.
FAMO actually retards grayness.
It contains no alcohol. 1t stops all
itching of the scalp.
FAMO should be used daily by
every member of the family, even
by those who have no dandruff. 1t
keeps the hair healthy and beautiful
and prevents seborrhea.
FAMO is sold at all toilet goods
counters, also applied at the better
barber shops 1t comes in two

The idea was advanced because It
was claimed that The division would

a warm reception. ii vas looked up
on as an uniustified piece Of destruc-
ton and a waste Of material which even

much loss. ought not to ne deliber-

structinG new ones.
In connection with this it IS to he
roted that Germany will be called
upon to destroy the Notifications at

curbing Of the militant spirit in that

for the destruction of the warships

there is for the sinking of the loco
