Fort Myer Officers Five
No Match for MOrse's
COllegians.

Real basketball was hard to find in
the George Washington-Fort Myer
Officers tilt last night at the Central
Coliseum. which the college five easily
won by the score of 35 to Z. The
officers were no match for the Col
legians in any department Of the
game.
Probably the Hatchetites would have
displayed better basketball had the
game been between two drilled teams.
but the officers seemed to have no
team work whatever and did not
possess any basket shooters Of
ability. The college players held their
opponents without score until seven
minutes had elapsed in the second
half Forward Loub broke the ice
then witfNa chance shot from the
spectators burst into cheers at this
feat.
"Gocdy" GosnelI and Goldstein were
starters in the G. w. Y. lineup. Both
played fairly well in their initial ap-
pearance. Gosncll looked we'll at

Sure Way To Get
Rid of Dandruf

There is one sure way that never falls
TO remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve It. This destroys it en-
urely. To do this. just get about four
ounces Of plain. ordinary liquid arvon;
apply 1t at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub It
in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning. most II not all. OF your
dandruff will be gone. and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace OF It. no matter how
much dandruff you nay have.
You will find. too. that all Itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly and your hair will be fluffy.
nstrous, glossy silky and soft. and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store, and four ounces is all you viii
need. This simple remedy has never
been known to fail.

NEW YORK, oct. 2S-The wo-
men want 'em short II the resolution
requiring that skirts be seven inches
from the ground, which passed the
cooperative meeting OF the City
Federation of women's Clubs yes
terday at the Hotel Aston, is any in
dication.
Mrs. A. M. Palmer. president of
the Rainy Day Club. introduced it.
with the assurance that IL New York
would pass It all the other cities in
the country would follow.
The resolution shook its finger at
the dressmakers and designers,
warning them that their new gar
ments which swept the ground
brought germ-laden dirt into the
home. The measure urges all wo-
men in the interest Of health to in
slst that garments, including
draperies and panels. be no nearer
the ground than seven inches, and
cut in such manner and with sufii-
cient material as to permit perfect
freedom of all parts of the body.

CHICAGO, Oct. ga spirited de-

opponents of Spirltualism to submit

The proposal was vigorously op-
posed by John Slater, of Oakland,

ney of San Antonio. Texas. They
contended that special training was
not necessary for the medium to re-

Mrs. Elizabeth Shauss Crumm and

amendment declared that though

requisite for communicating with

WHEAT STOCKS
ARE SMALLEST
in MANY YEARS
EXCEPTING IN 1918 THEY ARE
LOWEST OF ANY YEAR IN
PAST DECADE, u !. SAYS.

Washington, D. c., March 1.-THE
stocks Of wheat in country mills and
elevators March / were estimated at
T2, 5G5, 900 bushels by the y. 5. ne-
nactment of Agriculture This is the
Smallest quantity in the record of
rerorts for that date the past ten
yea1s. with the exception of Mare, l.,
1913, when the abnormally low stocks
of 6t 100000 bushels followed TIE
small wheat crop of 1917.
Exports of wheat from the 1891
crop have been heavy and the coun-
try mills and elevators possessed only
nine per cent of that crop. This is
the smallest percentage in the same
month for ten years, the highess re-
cord of Is per cent.
The average wheat stock in the
country mills and elevators were
about 81 10000 bushels during the
past S years. Stocks were 20 per cent
less than the five-year average.

Value of Railroads.

The value OF the railroads is less
than their bonded debts, according to
the physical valuation reports 10 far
compiled by the Interstate Commerce
commission.
Engineers working on the valuation
program have set the value OF "a of
the leading railroads at $32,717 per
mile. II this value holds for the 10.
mainder Of the country. the total
value Of all railroads probably would
be $s,s6s, 100000
In other words, the actual value
would be less than half what the com.
mission established to carry out the
Esch- Cummins act. On this act the
commission allowed a valuation upon
whicn freight payers had to guaran.
tee per cent return, OF nearly 10
billion dollars.
Thus, it is conservative to say that
the people of the United States are
paying over 5000, 100000 q year
through freight rates and interest on
railway stock, they are worth moth.
ing. On the "a railroads considered
there are 1853 million dollars of stock
outstanding, which have nothing Of
value behind them, according to the
engineers reports This stock is sim
ply water which never did have any
thing behind 1t and which the railroad
flnanciers hoped some day would be
OF value by reason of the growth OF
the country.
When the Esch-Cummins bill was
pending, Nonpartisan League farmers
and railroad laborers were rouRdly
scored as radicals for declaring that
the railroads Of the country repre-
scented an investment value OF not
more than IL billion dollars. The
findings OF the commissions expert
show that the League and Labor eves~
estimated railroad values by 5 90 8
billion dollars.
The more we inquire into the rail-.
road situation. the more amazing do
the frauds become
