FASC|SM'S BALKAN
DREAM ST|RS PARIS
Blow to Prestige Feared
Through Series of Amity
Treaties.
BY LELAND STOWE.
BY Radio to The Star.


PARIS, January 29.-When MusSolini
looked to the east, so does Paris. Ac-
cordingly, the recent voyage Of the
Grand Duces Subsecretary Of foreign
affairs to Athens and Angora with a
portfolio full of reassurances Of various
kinds in the name of Fascism has by
no means been overlooked by the
French. Any private little amity treaties
Grand may have arranged for Rome's
dictator will demand the closest atten-
ton Of the French officials, who realize
that Mussolinis external policies are
now focused definitely on the Balkans
in Southeastern Europe, and should he
succeed they couldn't fail to affect
French prestige proportionately.
It is we'll known In Europe that Mus
solini's chief failure in more than five
years Of Fascism has been in his for
cign policy. 1t is equally appreciated
that the Duce evidently hopes to score
some outstanding external diplomatic
triumph before fate jostleS him out OF
the saddle Therefore, France and the
rest of the continent knows the Grandi's
Journey to the East Is something more
than vacation and Mussolini's fingers
are digging deeper into Balkan politics.
From across the Balkans the past few
days have come rumorS of the Italian
attempt to consolidate new quadruple
entente with Italy, solidly backed not
only by Greece. but by Bulgaria and
Turkey as we'll. Mussolini, it is re-
ported. seeks to complete his ''pacif1ca-
ton of the Mediterranean" by chain
of amity treaties which insure him an
uninterrupted diplomatic alliance and
support all the way from Nice to Syria
in other words. from France itself to
Frances important Near-Eastern pro-
tectorate.
There is reason to believe the Grandi
offered tempting flowers of friendship
both to Venizelos and to Renal Pasha,
and that negotiations are quietly under
way with Sofia. The French know that
If such quadruple entente is in the
dining 1t would reveal queer bedfellows,
especially between the Italians, Greeks
and Turks, all of whom have expert
enced bitter differences since the war
But in the eyes of Paris Rome's present
isolation without important allies of any
kind is apt to force Mussolini to attempt
to Surmount even such serious obstacles
for the sake of Fascism'S foreign glory.
Should the Duce finally link the entire
Balkan coastline with the exception of
Jugoslavia to his program, the triune
kingdom of Serbs. Croats and Slovenes
would inevitably be in the isolated po-
sition Of the Balkans. Jugoslavia, as
one of Frances allies, would so COM
pletely be check-mated that France
couldn't afford to regard the situation
as insignificant. RumorS of an Italian
Turkish alliance is likewise disconcert-
ing to Paris, for the Franco Turkish re-
lations for long time have been none
too reassuring, and the French are
keenly alive to the trouble a hostile
Turkey might stir up in Syria, where the
French directorate has been far from
happy, even without external complica-
tons.

DANDRUFF
Soon Destroys the Hair

If you want plenty of thick, beau
tiful. glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for 1t
will starve your hair and ruin it If
you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces
of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the. scalp and rub it In
gently with the finger tips.

your dandruff viii 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
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair win look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. Four
ounces is all you win need, no mat
