Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails TO remove dandruff completely
and that is TO dissolve it. Then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
binary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moistcn 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 COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it,
no matter how much dandruf you
may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and

FOURTH INTO FINALS
Meets Division for Cups
Chicagoans
Play Sunday.

The Fourth Field Artillery polo
team created a sensation Thursday
afternoon in the semi-finals of the
tournament for the San Antonio Polo
Club cups by defeating the donors Of
the trophy, s TO ), in six-chukker
game played on the Cavalry Post field.
Entering the game as favorites TO
win by a decisive margin, the civilians
goaled twice in the first chukker but
they failed to keep the pace and the
srtillerymen took the lead with a ven
geance in the second period by scoring
four goals. Thenceforth the civilians
trailed the army four and late six
-bukker rally failed TO even the count.
although the San Antonio team made
two goals in last desperate attempt
10 do so.
After allowing the San Antonio
team TO score twice in the first chuk-
ker the Artillery team frightened up
and played an eeen game for the re-
naming five periods. Lieutenant Shea
welded a particularly accurate mallet
Thursday afternoon. scoring four goals
for the winners, one goal more than
the total of Lieutenant Colonel Swift.
Colonel Swift's playing was remark
able for hard driving which enabled
the artillerymen to start dribbles to-
ward the goal time and again. Lieu
tenant Phelps. crack No. /. got the
only other goal for the Field Artillery.
Consistent hard riding and defensive
work by Lieutenant Miller featured
his work at back.
Locals Teamwork Missing.
1t was apparent that the civilian
four was not playing its usual brand
of ball. Misses were frequent and
teamwork was shaky.
Individually, Carl Crawford prob
ably was the outstanding club team
player with three goals 10 his credit.
though Jack Lapham rode hard and
pasted the ball as usual. Lapham
showed up particularly well in the
early part of the game. He drove
the ball the length of the field practi-
cally alone several times and in the
fourth period scored goal. Bill
Meadows backed several dangerous
shots by the artillerymen and Earl
Crawford was consistent in his per-
lOrnance at NO. POSITION.
The game went only six chukkers
because of the Fourth Field Artillerv's
shortage of good polo mounts. The
field was in good shape as the result
Of several weeks work devoted to its
preparation for play and the weather
was good although a trifle cool. A
fairly large Thursday crowd witnessed
the contest.
The Fourth Field Artillery will play
the Second Division at 3 o'clock Sat
urday on the Breckenridge Park field
in the final game Of the tournament
for the San Antonio Polo Club cup.

RADIO MONDAY NIGHT
Local Organization Praised BY
Fans in All Sections of Coun-
try For Program

The young people of the Marietta
Epworth League, who rounded up a
mighty legion of friends and admirers
via radio a month or two ago, re-
peated their triumph over station
WSB last Monday night, when they
entertained thousands of households
scattered throughout the land with
their melodies.
kilograms and telephone calls from
far and near flooded the Journals of
flee complimenting the program and
requesting special numbers. AS many
requests as possible were complied
with, but the majority had to CON
tent themselves with the promise that
the young Mariettans would return
to the other at very early date.
To pick the stars of the program
would be impossible unless one named
the complete roster of the partici-
pants. However, Misses Elizabeth
Northcutt and Gertie Morris deserve
especial praise for the manner in
which they "did" their parts. The
entire orchestra was exceptionally
fine.
The people of Marietta and Cobb
county should feel proud of this
bunch of musicians. They are doing
much to spread the name of Marietta
over the country.

Answering All Alarms

The local fire department was kept
on the jump during the cold spell Just
passed. Four alarms were turned in
from Saturday night to Monday af-
ternoon. The aggregate damage ac-
tually done to the property would not

services of the local fire fighters.
While the stock was damaged by
smoke and water the building and fix

Club Gives View
OF DeMolay Game
Editor Marietta Journal
Marietta, Ga.

MARIETTA, ia.
Dear Sir: To-day I called von
over the phone and asked you TO
please let Acworth reply to the wav
the game between the DeMoIay's and
the Acworth Athletic Club was writ
ten up and you so kindly consented
to do so, Please publish the follow
ing as a reply.
In the January Bird issue of the
Marietta Journal the Acworth Attn
letle Club was done a great injustice
on the part of whoever wrote up the
game between the above mentioned
club and the DeMolay team of Mari
eta. The writer wishes to deny the
charges made against the Acworth
team, that the game was football en-.
counter and that the referee was nm
far Marietta was treated with the
same courtesy and fairness that Ac-
worth always extends to a visiting
team, and we defy any team to saw
that they did not get fair deal on
the Acworth court. Marietta was
simply sore as result of superior
playing of the athletic club, as was
exhibited by the consistent grumbling
OF the Marietta spectators. AS to the
reference that the Acworth team was
much larger than was the DeMolav
team we wish to deny that charge,
also that two DeMolay's were forced
out of the game on account of iniu-
RES. Only one Marietta man was
forced" out of the game and that
was for four personal fouls. We
trust that none of the Journals read
ers will take the write up in the Jan.
3rd issue as a true and accurate re-
port of the game.
Yours very truly,
Acworth Athletic Club,
Per Chas. II. Mcmillan.
