 Many of the smaller London houses have been given up, and it Is rumored that at least one large and famous house is about to be put on the mar ket People are finding that they can do quite as well with & small, smart flat or maisonette, thereby making a big saving which enables them to increase the comforts of their house in the country
 A social observer says that he sees the time near when the historical London mansion will no longer exist, and people of means, when they come to London. will entertain in hotels. The disappearance of the town house will mean the further development of certain kinds of hotels and restaur- ants.

ness and every one associated with
the show cannot speak highly
enough of it's success, which, really,
is beyond all expectations. We are
drawing from n wide radius of the
State, from such distances as AL
toona and Chambersburg, and the
out-of-town folk are even more en-
phatic than Harrisburg in declaring
this demonstration the be nearly
perfect. Not one complaint has been
made of any kind. To-day and to-
morrow promise to bring the great
est crowds yet registered, and such
is the enthusiasm for motor traffic
that I believe the truck and trac-
tor show, beginning at 10 a. m.
Monday, will be equally successful"
Preparations are being made to
take care of an invasion of the
country market folk who have noti-
fed the managers that they will be
on hand in multitude Saturday
morning when they have finished
feeding the capital city. Excursions
from many nearby towns are also
planned for tomorrow and the illus
trious show will wind up in a mon
ster party tomorrow night.
The truck and tractor exhibition
should attract thousands, for the
mate since the war closed. The pro-
prietors of the Overland plant con-
tinue their generosity of making no
charge for rent and the intelligent
visitor will see the big plant almost
as attractive with motor engines
planned for work as with the beau
ties which furnish pleasure and re-
creation.
Manufacturers began this morn
ing to get their products to the vi
cinity and the streets will be crowd
ed soon with all sorts of motor We
hicle, including the nifty garden
tractor which man. woman or child
can use on the smallest plot; the
demon which is going to turn every
garden owner into a producer.
There is almost snap of romance
in this exhibit planned for three
days next week. Like magic, these
dozens of types of tractors will, in
a few years, tuln out more food than
was ever contemplated, for the trac-
tor is here to stay. The truck was
introduced only few years ago, but
even now, according to George B.
Mcfarland, head of the Harrisburg
Automobile Company, and handler
of Cleveland and the Beman, there
are nearly seven hundred motor
trucks used in this city.

SAVE YOUR HAIR
AND BEAUTIFY 1T
WITH "DANDERINE''
Spend few cents ! Dandruf dis
appears and hair stops
coming Iut.
Try this! Hair gets beautiful,
wavy and thick in
few moments.

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty. of your hair, besides it i'm
mediafely dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice,
heavy, healthy hair if you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf
robs the hair of it's lustre, its
strength and its very life, and if not
overcome it produces a feverishness
and itching of the scalp; the hair
roots famish, loosen and die; then
the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded, dry scraggy or
too oily, get small bottle of Knowl-
tons Dandarine at any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents; apply
little as directed, and ten minutes
after you will say this was the best
investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless
of everything else advertised, that
if you desire soft, lustrous, beauti-
full hair and lots of it-no dandruff
no itching scalp and no more
falling hair-you must use Knowl-
tons Danderine. If eventually
why not now?
