ruin it If you don't.
1t does no good to try to brush
or wash it out. The only sure way
to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve
it, then you destroy it entirely. To
do this, get about four ounces of
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, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of il.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop.
and your hair will look and feel
a hundred times better. You can
get liquid arvon at any drug store.

FIRST AMERICAN GOLD COINS
What Are Known as Eagles Placed in
Circulation in the Year 1872
Bird as Symbol.

The first American gold coinage of
eagles, half-eagles and quarter-eagles,
of the value of $40, So and $3.50, re-
spectively, was placed in circulation
in 1892. Since that date the United
States minis have turned out 1892,
365 double eagles, or $40 gold pieces;
1851 ,2S9 eagles, 74,36O,57O half-eagles
and 15,580,2OS quarter-eagles. One
and three-dollar gold pieces were for
merly coined, but they were discOn-
tinued in 1890.
The first coin called an eagle was
used in Ireland in the Thirteenth CEN
fury, and was so called from the fig
ure of an eagle impressed upon it, but
it was made of base metal. The stand
ard of the eagle was borne by the an
cient Persians, and the Romans also
carried gold and silver eagles as en-
signs and sometimes represented them
with a thunderbolt In their talOns.
Charlemagne adopted the double
headed eagle as the standard of the
holy Roman empire. The eagle was
the standard of Napoleon and Ma
poleon III, as well as Austria, Prussia
and Russia.

s'The American People,

Editorial in the Milwaukee Journal
1.-THE American People" is great
phrase. Americans believe that it
names the greatest nation of all time
If you can find out what the Ameri-
can people are thinking about and as
sure someone that they are on your
side, you have an argument to be
listened to. Therefore it is consider
ably the fashion to say you know
what they want. President Harding
is having good deal of trouble with
the phrase; members of his party arc
using it as club, first on one side
of his head, then on the other.
Mr.. Harding made very modest
proposal about taking part in the
world court. He had said at one time
he would keep the party out of the
League; he has done that. He, with
his party, had promised to cooperate
with other nations for world peace
and order; he has done that. Only By
stretching the imagination could en-
tering the court be called fulfilling
the pledge, but it would be something
paid on account.
But Senator Borah says "the Amer
lean people" are unalterably opposed
to the League and will have none O.

starboa I'd and Port.

The ancient rule Of the road was
to keep to the right and drive from
the left, because the first animals
driven in civilized countries were cat
tie and the driver, walking beside his
oxen, piled his CAD with the right hand.
Italian sailors made starboard the
right side of ship in their earliest
voyages. The term was evolved by
the British from "esta borde," mean
ing this side, while larboard came from
the helmsman, first probably with
gestures Of the hand accompanying
the call.
In heavy weather, and under other
adverse conditions, the two terms be-
came COMPOUNDED frequently in speech.
Larboard was dropped and in its place
port was employed, for port meant
port wine, which is red, and red is the
color Of the light on that side of the
ship.

Little Thing Like fhS Running out 81
OIL for He Engine Easily Over
como by Traveller.

How we all enjoy stories with re-
sourceful hero! No cornered hero Of
romance ever showed more ingenuity
than Mr.. Roy Chapman Andrews
showed when he ran out of motor oil
on the Cobb desert. We quote Mr..
Andrews exploit as he narrates it in
Natural History:
We were returning to Kalgan from
Urga, the capital Of Mongolia. when
we made our discovery. Since the
oil had all leaked out OF the cans, and
we could not go much farther, we
were debating what to do Then as our
car swung over the summit of rise
we saw the white tent and the graz
ing camels of an enormous caravan.
OF course Mongols would have mutton
fat; why not use that for oil?
The caravan leader assured us that
he had plenty, and in ten minutes a
great pot of fat was warming over
the fire. We poured it into the motor
and proceeded merrily on our way, but
there was one serious obstacle to our
enjoying that ride. We had had little
food for some time and were very
hungry, and when the engine began
to warm most tantalizing odOr of
roast lamb rose from the car. Short
ly imagined that could even smell
mint sauce.
On another occasion when we were
without cup grease for the cars Mrs.
Andrews sacrificed all the cold cream
and vaseline that she had prepared
for a summer in the field. We also
substituted Mongol cheese with good

4 WARNING ON THE HIGHWAY

An indication of the trend of popular
thought is seen in the proposal, made
in the Illinois Legislature, to compel
the equipment of every licensed auto
mobile in that State with a device
automatically limiting it's speed to
twenty-five miles an hour. Perhaps
it is hardly probable that the particu-
lar measure presented will become
law, but the overture is significant
because it represents an unmistakabie
warning that, unless the practices in
dicted are ended by the voluntary ac-
ton of drivers of motor vehicles, the
public will impose regulations suffl-
GENTLY drastic to make them impos-
sible.
Of course the maximum speed which
it is proposed to fix, and beyond which
no licensed vehicle would be able to
travel, may be regarded as prepos-
terously low, the equipment of mod
ern cars and the condition of rural
highways considered. But it is true
beyond question that there is, on the
part of the users of motor cars a
growing tendency to disregard the
common rights of others to whom
the highways are equally open. The
terrible toll which careless or needless
drivers are taking everywhere in the
United States has aroused public in
dignation. Manifestly the time has
come when steps must be taken, either
voluntarily or arbitrarily, to make
impossible a continuation of fragrant
and wanton abuses.
Faced by this necessity and warned
by the threatened action of one of the
states, the wise course might be for
those who would be penalized to COM
pei, among the drivers and users
of motor vehicles, action which would
reassure a justly indignant public.
Exactly what action would serve to
give the required assurance must be
the subject of deliberate action and
undoubted sincerity. The offending
motorist has shown that he cares lit
tie for the imposition of fines and the
usual penalties meted out. If the car
owner loses his license because of in
fractions of the law, he rides beside
some member of his family who is per-
mitted to drive, or engages paid
chauffeur. But he would be humiliat-
ed if compelled to limit, automatically,
the speed of his high powered car to
twenty-five miles an hour. And every
careful and considerable driver who
might be able to travel safely at a
higher speed would be pealized for
the misdeeds of those who habitually
offed.
The proposed act may be regarded,
perhaps, simply as trial balloon, sent
up to test the temper of public opin-
ion. and incidentally to apprise the
reckless drivers of the determination
to end the practices which have be-
come public menace. But in it there
is also q reiteration of the almost
forgotten fact that the highways be-
long to the public. Christian Science

Mystery Explained.

In Lake Manitoba there is little
island from which issues mysterious
sound. The Indians supposed this Is
land to be the home of Manitoba, the
speaking god, and from this is derived
the name Of the lake and the province.
The real cause Of the sound is the
beating of the waves upon the huge
pebbles lining the shore. On the north
ern coast Of the island is long low
cliff, composed Of finegrained lime
stone, which, beneath the stroke Of a
hammer, rings like steel. The waves
breaking at the foot of the cliff cause
the falling limestone fragments to
clash one against the other, and the
sound thus produced resembles the
Ginning of distant bells.

TERM FOR POLITICAL CUNNING
italian Genius Gave Name to What
Might Be Called Inscriptions
Craftsmanship,

"Machiavellian" is a term for po-
litical cunning, duplicity or bad faith,
because NiccOlo Machiavelli, an Ital-
ian statesman and historian, held as
one Of his principles that any means,
however lawless or INSCRIPTIONS,
might be justifably employed by a
ruler In order to maintain strong
central government. He, produced
among other works a treatise on gov
eminent called 1.-THE Prince" the prin-
ciples of which have gained for him a
nOtOriety as wide as the civilized
world.
Briefly, Machiavelli's political doc
trines maintained a justification Of the
means by the end. The ruler or prince
was to retain and augment his power !;
and to do SO he might be an adept at
misleading his opponents and getting
rid of them. The interests Of the state,
represented by the ruler, were held to
be above all laws or virtues, and the
despotism Of the prince was to be
maintained by cunning and unre-
strained by morality.

In Michigan for a statewide registra-
