Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruff

Girls--if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do BY
all means get rid OF dandruff, for it
will starve your hair and ruin it il
you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
comb or wash it out. The only
sure way to get rid OF dandruff is
to dissolve it; then you destroy it en-
tirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon :;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to n1oisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most, if not all, of
your dandruf will be gone, and two
or three more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace Of it.
You will find, too, that all itching

CLASS IN JOURNALISM
HEARS STARS STORY
Col. C. Fred Cook Tells of News
papers Development to George
Washington University Students.

The development of the printin &
press as factor in modern news
paper efficiency was discussed yester-
day before the evening class in jour
nalism at George .Washingt Uni
versity by Col C. Fred Cook. libra rian
of The Evening Star. Successive
methods employed during a period of
rs years were mentioned and a de-
tailed description of the present plant
of The Star was given, with the state
ment that it was the most complete
and up-to-date possessed by any
newspaper in the world.
In answer to questions by members
of the class, the speaker also gave
some attention to the matter of print
paper supply and to the efforts made
by publishers to solve the problem.
Col. Cook told of the days when
newspaper printing required very
much time and was crude1y handled.
"The evolution of printing mechan-
isms," he said, includes the develop
ment of the hand press, the first ap-
plication of steam, the invention of
the cylinder press, and from cylinder
press to rotary"
After showing the stages of de-
velopment in The Star office in the
past rs years, he said: The press
room battery of The Star consists OF
three straight line lightning octuple
presses, each with a speed capacity
of $4,000 papers per hour, and one
double end low construction, super
speed octuple press with speed ca
pacity of $4,000 papers per hour"
Col Cook told the members of the
class that the mechanical require
ments of the modern newspaper were
reflected in the news department of
the paper, where the gaining of even
small amounts of time through alert
ness and speed was important in the
giving of prompt service to the pub

SOUTHWEST RAIL
MERGER LOOMING
Katy, Frisco, Cotton Belt and
K. C. S. Reported in Con-
soIidation Negotiations.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, February 21.-Crea-
ton of new railroad system in the
Southwest with total assets of close
to $1,000, 100000 and a total mileage
of $4,000 appeared to be taking pre-
liminary form yesterday. Interests
which sponsored the Missouri Pacific
merger last year were said to be lay
ing plans for the new consolidation,
embracing the Missouri X ansas-T Tex
as, ST. Louis-San Francisco, st. Louis
Southwestern and Kansas City South
ern railways. Such an alignment
would carry out the tentative group
ing proposals of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, with slight modi-
ficatiops. and would develop a COM
peting line for the greater Missouri
Pacific system.
While no definite steps looking to-
ward a merger have been taken, Wall
Street heard that a leading railroad
banking house had acquired sub
stantial interest in the Kansas City
Southern and katy railroads, and
probably would use either or both of
these roads as the nucleus for a new
system. Formation of a holding COM
pany, which would exchange its
shares for those Of the other roads,
along the lines adopted by the Van
-
merger, is expected to be one of the
first stages in the consolidation plan.
Frisco Stock Boosted.
Heavy buying of Frisco shares
which carried the stock up more than
points to a record high level. lent
color to reports that this road was
being sought as a unit in the sug-
gested new system. Chairman E. N
Brown, however, has denied that
Frisco was involved in any definite
negotiations, although his recent trip
over the road was linked with re-
ports that he was studying merger
possibilities.
