The road and bridge expenditures
for 1919 show an increase OF approxi-
mately 33 1-3 per cent over those Of
1913 and 20 per cent over those Of

increase in the proportion of the total

CORN BORER ALARM
IN OHIO NEEDLESSLY
SPREAD SAY EXPERTS
INV Associated Press,

COLUMBUS, o.. Oct. 7.-Alarmists,
and those who don't take time to in
vestigate, are spreading needless fear
about the European corn borer null
tiplying throughout Ohio. it is asserted
by experts at Ohio State university
here.
The false alarms are due in great
measure, IL is declared, to the fact
that the corn ear worm. far less de-
structive insect, is prevalent in the
state this fall
Farmers finding this insect at once
connected it with a recently discov-
cred infestation of the European corn
borer. and have sent in excited crys
for help. according to T. H. Parks, ex-
tension entomologist of the Ohio State
university. In a number of cases,
county agents have been called from
their beds in the middle of the night
to ride ten miles and look at a few
comparatively harmless worms, Parks
asserted.
Found Near Lake Erie
The European corn borer to date
has been found only in counties Dor

Parks. Even there infestation is SO
light that none except trained ento,
biological scouts have been able to 10
cate it. The threat is next years crop,
not against corn now in shocks.
Corn borers works from the inside
of the ear outward. Farmers who
find ears with insects eating into the
kernels at the tip of the ear from
without, may be sure it's the worm
not the borer. Ear worms are not
native pests 70 Ohio and operate only
after such mild winter as the last
one. 1t is unlikely they will do seri
Gus damage next year"
Professor Parks describes corn cal
worms as from an inch to an inch ant
a quarter in length, and corn borers as
only about half that size.

Washing Won't Rid
Head OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid OF dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
TO moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will be
gone. and three or four more applica-
lions will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, 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 new

London. Nov. 14.-The American
plan for a ten-year naval holiday and
the scrapping of all but limited
number Of warships. call for much
less sacrifice on the part of Great Bri-
tain than by the United States and

The proposed sacrifice. he says.

the United States, but comparatively

The American scheme involves no
injury to British interests, for in plain
fact the British navy today is third
in postwar ships and ocean-going
submarines. the two factors which will
probably count for the most in future
naval warfare. The real question is
whether Japan will be content to ac-
cept conditions which place her navy
in position of permanent. nferiority.
