City Has
WorthiIy Honored
The Nations Great

IT Is the great number of federal
tatues and structures which strike the
tisitor as making Washington differ
mt from any other city. Many of these
lronze statues are of the heroic figures
" the Civil war. Union generals and
ldmirals. many of them equestrian
ltatues, on comparatively small gran
tie bases. Some OF the older of these
ave been criticized by artists as rather
commonplace. Undoubtedly the artis-
ic taste of the people has advanced
Turing the last generation, resulting
about twelve years ago In the creation
by congress of a fine arts commission
charged with the duty of passing upon
all statues. structures and public
works OF art and their erection. This
has brought about a marked improve
ment In both the selection of design
and subjects. and their appropriate
placement with reference TO the future
development of Washington. which 1t
Is the hope of every one will eventual
iy become the most beautiful city In
the world. The improvement is seen In
the removal last year from Dupont cir
Gle of a standing bronze statue OF Ad-
miral Dupont, of Civil war fame, and
the erection in Its place of an exquisite
memorial fountain with a bronze bas-
relief of the admiral. Early in April
a memorial was dedicated to General
Meade, commander of the Army of the
Potomac and the hero of Gettysburg,
the turning point In the Civil war. The
group Of which the great warrior in
full military uniform Is the central fig
ure includes also figures representing
Military Courage, Energy. Fame. 10y
atty, Chivalry and Progress. The
Meade memorial is the gift of the state
Of Pennsylvania.

A Sure Way To
End DandruH

There is ons sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this. just get about
four ounces Of plain. ordinary liquid
arvon from any drug store (ths is all
you will needD; 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 two or three
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace Of it, no matter how
much dandrun you may have.
You will find. too. all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instant
ly, and your hair will be fluffy. lus-

GOOD APPEARANCE

Look your best and you will act your best.
Haven't you proved that statement for yourself many a
time?
To feel suitably, neatly and welldressed gives one a feel
ing Of satisfaction and selfrespect that is stimulating.
To fill that bill does not necessarily mean expensive or
numerous clothes, but it does mean appropriate clothes Tor
the occasion-business or SCOTLAND especially clothes kept
in good condition. The suit that needs pressing, the bit OF
lace on your collar which needs mending, the skirt that needs
cleaning or the shoes that need p~olishing-these are the things
that detract from your appearance and take from your sell
respect.
Not only do they take from your own self-respeet but
from the respect of others for you. In the business world the
employe who is careless, mussy and frumpy IN her appear
ance-can her subordinates respect her, no matter what her
ability, as they do the welLgroomed, well-dressed woman?
Perhaps your husband isn't the kind OF man who notices
what a woman wears, you say. But I'll wager you, II his wife
looks dowdy and careless in appearance, he makes many a
mental note of comparison between his wife and his friend S
wife, who has the reputation of being always wel[dressed.
His lack of comment may be caused not SO much from his IN
difference as his disgust, or possibly kindness i'll fear of hurt
ing your feelings. At any rate, don't take a chance OF losing
his respect by your own Indifference to your appearance.
Or if you have growing sons and daughters. Certainly IN
their ewes you want to look your best. The sons and daughters
of today will hold you up to much. Meet the test, mothers.
Yes. women owe it to themselves and all with whom they asso-
ciate to look their best. Are you doing it?

Polly Mount, "but when 1 wear this

shall be a kind Indian girl that
takes meal and meat to the starving
ones. You know there was a famine
in Plymouth one year because the
crops failed and so many of the
company died that the men planted
corn over the graves to keep the In
dams from knowing how few were
left"
"Then let's have one scene in the
play where you steal through the
woods at night to leave a bag of
food by the door of Master Win

it among the people," was Sans
suggestion. He couldn't decide
whether to be the governor OF

When Polly appears on Thanks
