Maidens With Trench
Mirrors Get Attention

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.-And now
comes the trench mirror for the bath
ing beauty.
Oh, yes, the war had it's effects upon
the b9thing beauty as we'll.
Even men find some Of the wars by
products useful, but the peach who sits
upon the beach is the latest to find
use for surplus war material
She now has her own little trench
outfit, mirror and everything feminine
in it, and watertight, too, which she
uses to rehabilitate the charms that
may succumb to the Potomacs dissolv-
ing influence.
The musette bag, which the boys
overseas used to carry their personal ef-
fects in, are also popular at the beaches.
They are handy for carrying not only
bathing apparel, but candy and lunch as
well, and former service men are being
besieged by sisters and sweethearts for
donations Of these bags.
But the bathing beauties with the
trench mirrors claimed most attention
when more than 10000, including Presi-
dent Wilson, recently visited the Tidal
Basin bathing beach.

pIoyes who were on hand expressed the
greatest confidence in their employer and
attempted to instll this confidence into
the crowd.
Charges that Ponzi is Unbalanced on
one subject, is hopelessly insolvent, has
not sufficient funds to meet his notes,
and has sent or received no money from
Europe recently" we're vigorously denied
by PonZi
The charges, contained in a copyright

R0TARIANS PICK
 LOCAL WOMAN , POET LAUREATE
Speaker Arraigns Autoists
 for Reckless Driving in Pine Bluff

Election of Mrs. J. I. Norris as club poet laureate; vocal solos by Mrs. F. L. Dilley; arraignment by H. G. Hig- inbotham of reckless auto drivers and violators of city ordinances; an optimistic talk on cotton prospects by H. E. Bluthenthal, and trade talks by several members featured yester- days meeting of the Rotary club at the Hotel Pines.
 The session was attended by 75 members of the club and several guests, including Mrs. Norris, Mrs Dilley, Mrs. Vernon Niven, all of Pine Bluff; pr. M. T. McCaskey of Chi cago; c. c. Crow of Little Rock; w. s. Turner, Pine Bluff; Wm. Grace Little Rock; John D. Crockett, South Bend; and Fred Palmer Pine Bluff.
 Mrs. Norris selection as poet laure- ate of the club was on motion of H. K. Toney following a talk by Dr. Nm. Breathwit, who paid tribute to Mrs. Norris as a home manager, mother and poetess, and declared that Pine Bluff had never properly shown it's appreciation of her. Mrs. Norris, in vited to contribute to the program. recited an original poem which is scheduled to appear in an early issue of national magazine.
 After responding to a hearty sn- core in a manner that evoked geYler- ous applause, Mrs. Dilley was invited by President w. T. Woodbridge to visit the club in the near future and Fred Dilley was sentenced to pay a fine for his omission in not bringing Mrs. Dilley to the meetings before.
 Criticised Officials
 MT. Higginbotham recited numer- ous instances of reckless driving by motorists, and violations of ordi- nances by automobilists, and bicycl- ists. He declared that safety of the citizens requires enforcement of the laws, and deplored that the city of ficials permit infractions of ordi- nances without prosecutions.
 The Fasteners are more optimis- tic than the Southerners concerning business prospects of the future was the statement of H. E. Bluthenthal, just back from a several months stay in New England cotton centers. He asserted that mills have little cotton on hand, and voiced the opinion that cotton prices will improvce.
 The Rotary trade talks were by Garland Brewster on "The Romance of Bricks" in which he described the manufacture of this building materi al; Will Toney on "Horses and Mules," and Guy Busenberg on "Farm Loans,"

Sure Way To Get
 Rid of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This de- stroys it entirely. To do this. just get about four ounces of plain, ordi- nary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to mois- ten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, ot your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, nc matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly. and your hair will be fluff fly, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft and look and feel a hundred times l better. You can get liquid arvon at any
 drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This
 simple remedy has never been known
 to fail.
