ADVOCATES UNIVERSAL MILITARY
 TRAINING MEASURE
Unqualifiedly Endorses Meas
 ure Now Before Con- greSS

Little Rock, Feb. 12-Universal military training for the youth of the nation was advocated by General John J. Pershing here tonight when he spoke at a banquet given in his honor by the Little Rock Board of Commerce. His endorsement of the plan being proposed and opposed in congress was absolutely unqualified He charged the opposition to the plan to a failure on the part of it's opponents to comprehend the propos- ed system and it's worth to the young manhood of the nation.
 "I am strongly for the belief that every young man .in the country is in need of period of intensive milj- tary training" said the general. "ln urging universal military training I am not only thinking of the possi- bilities of war, but of the great phys ical benefit that a period of train ing such as the army gives would be to our young men.
 Those who oppose the plan, do so largely because they fail to conl- prehend the real meaning of the plan and the real benefit that it will be to the country. This is a big sub ject and it must be carefully analyz- ed before it is actually comprehend ed."
 General Pershing paid sple1did tribute to the American Legion when he said that organization stands for all that is good and just. He fore

Peace Delay Ties Up Work on HarbOr
 at COnstantinOple

Constantnople, Feb. 12.-Work in the harbor here is completely dis organized as a result of delay on the part of the peace conference to reach decision relative to the future status of Turkey. It is impossible to move cargoesa to Black Sea ports because of the bolshevik menace and spectators here are holding clothing and foodstuffs for higher prices as result of which the cost of living is as high in Constantinople as it is in Paris or London.
 Thousands of Russian refugees are arriving here and are cordially well comed by the people of the city. The average Turk wears out his capacity for hatred in expressing his enmity against the Greeks and pays little attention to persons of other nationalities, even traditional ene- mics such as Armenians, who come

Simple Way To
 End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never failed to remove danaruff at once, and that is to dissolve it. then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retr- ing; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely de- stroy every single sign and trace of it, no mateer how much you may have.
 You will find all itching and dig ging of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will be fluffy, lus- trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel q hundred times bet ter.
