BROOKLYN'S
MILLIONS
STILL WALK
Both Sides Are Determined
Upon a Fight to the
Finish.

New York, Aug. 31-Prospects of a
long drawn out fight between the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company and
it's striking employees were apparent
today.
With virtually no increase in SER
vice by the subways. elevated roads
and trolleys since the unexpected
strike Sunday seriously crippled the
system, both the company and the
strikers declared their determination
to fight to a finish. Meanwhile
Brooklyn's two million residents still
struggled with improvised means OF
conveyance.
That sentiment among the strikers
was growing more bitter became evil
dent early today when a trolley. in
spector was beaten to Inconsistencies
by six alleged strikers, all of whom
were arrested. AS a precautionary
measure against disorder, $500 police
men were on duty and a large force of
reserves was held in readiness.
Volleys of stones and bricks greeted
a bus load of SO men being conveyed
to the East New York and Halsey
street barns where 200 had been re-
cruited to take out cars.
Scores of detectives were assigned
to special duty at congested points to
protect commuters from pickpockets.
Interborough trains and ferries again
were jammed almost to suffocation.

l-AS soon as an ordinance is pass
ed and made effective which falls
within the terms of Judge Banks de-
cision as being valid and one under
which jitney bus operations are
brought under control and the inter-
ests of this company thoroughly pro-
tected, we will resume operations.

operations are resumed, to give the
people Of Bridgeport the best service
that can be produced with the facili-
ties which the company controls. We
feel confident that. we will be able to
fully adsfy the public in this re-
gard.
We have always re1t that the in
terests Of the company and those of
the community are identical and are
more than ever convinced that with
out a profitable, street railway enter
prise both the corporation supplying
the transportation and the commune

only means to achieve this end is
through complete public support,

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sire way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon !;
apply it at night when retiring; 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 viii completely dis
solve 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 instantly,
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 four
ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail.
