BY BRUCE COPELAND.
TITLE AT STAKE.

The Staley-Akron game in Chi
cago tomorrow is the all-absorbing
sport topic today in the tri-cities.
Owing to their loyalty to the
middle west, many are inclined TO
believe the Staleys will win. How
ever, the more calculative ones con-
cede the conquerors OF the Canton
Bulldogs a victory by a narrow
margin.
1t would seem that the latter
have calculated wisely. 1t is the
logical procedure to pick as win
ner, the eleven which knocked the
Thorpians OF the professional
football throne-twice.
The Staleys will find themselves
topped, however slightly, in all de-
partments Of the game by a team
which has played together for near
" three years. The Numatics are
not a team of hand-picked ex-
college stars, who have played
through only one season.
The Starchworkers have been
unable to score more than one
touchdown against any OF their
stronger opponents. Their usual
victory was accomplished by one
touchdown and one field goal.
Akron has presented a far better
scoring machine against the pick
of the Ohio pack.
Like the old Independents. Akron
excels at straight football. They
diversity their attack with just
enough tricky plays to upset the
dope. Defensively, the teams are
we'll matched: extensively, Akron is
the better eleven.
The professional title goes with
the victory.

Sure Way To Get
 Rid Of Dandruf

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This des- troys it entirely. 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 will completely dissolve 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 in stantly, and your hair will be fluffy. iustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive. and four ounces is all you will need. This sim pie remedy has never been known to fail
