DANDRUFF
A Sure Way to End 1t

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy 1t entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
ordinary liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need, ap-
ply 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 two
or three more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it,
no matter how much dandruff you
may have.
You will find, too. all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times bet

 Accompanied by Mrs McCord and MT. and Mrs Mccullough, business associates, the expedition will proceed to the Barren Is- lands where the company has fur interests. There will be some fur buying in Cook Inlet and at other points along the mainland.
 It is possible that landing will be attempted on Chirikof Island which has not been suc- cessfully invaded this season af- ter an arduous attempt of sev- eral days. Chirikof is one of the most difficult landings of the Westward waters which seems to be the reason why the Russians picked it for an early penal col onyI However, there are plenty of fox on the island and several hundred head of wild cattle in which the McCord company is interested

Several amendments to the

late today by Senator Blaine Of

/. Blaine filed his minority report
urging the adoption Of his amend

resolution without them.
Senator Capper then moved TO
get a place on the calendar for the
resolution. It came up Saturday
during consideration Of the calendar,

bring it up at an early date in such

Chairman Frederick r. L.ehlbach,
Of the Civil Service Committee,
plans to 60 before that august
body to ask for a special rule which
would bring before the House the
compromise bill to clarity and
amend the WEIGH act. The bin
provides $2,s75, 600 in pay increases
to Federal employees, and would re-
store to the Personnel Classification
Board its former Jurisdiction ever
ALLEGATIONS Of Government posi-
tions.
Objections Made
If the rules committee decides it
cannot clear the decks for this bill,
the legislation is doomed until the
next regular session Of Con. ress.
But there are indications that the
committee will consider Lehlbach's s
arguments favorably.
Objections to the bill in its present
form have been made by RepreseIl-
.tative Carl, q. Rachmann of West
Virginia, member Of the Lehlbach
committee, who has filed a minority
report on the measure; the executive
council of the National Federation Of
Federal Employees, who object to two
provisions In the measure, and the
League Of the American Civil Ser
vice. which is to meet tonight In pro-
test against the Lehlbach bill.
Board in Danger
Bachnnann expectedly announced
late Saturday that he opposed the
Leh1bach bin because it gave the
classification board too much power
and did not. provide properly for
pay increases.
The employees, federation. while
approving the measure generally.
has expressed dislike to provisions
which would reduce the salaries of
employees who received more than
their fair share Of increases under
the Welch act. due to the pay
schedules set up by Comptroller
General J.. r. McCarl.
The. civil service league does not
like the bin at all. 1t favors aboii-
tion of the classification board and
would transfer the boards powers
to the. Civil Service Commission.
IT asks also. for tho present eff
cheney rating system be junked, that
a board OF arbitration and appeal
be set t.p and that the Siroyich bill
giving q flat $300 increase to poorly
paid workers. be put to q vote In

MARKET R D v
BREAKS OUT

A move by private commercial
interests to draw farmers away
from their market stands on the
south side Of b Street, opposite
Center Market, was spiked this
morning by Commissioner Proctor
L. Dougherty.
Superintendent OF Markets George
IT.. Roberts brought to Dougherty's
attention an unsigned circular that
Is being distributed among the
farmers. It reads, son and after
February IA the farmers market
Will be located at Convention Hall
market, Fifth and x SITS. N. W."
Pointing out that the circular has
caused much confusion among the
farmers. Roberts asked Dougherty
to ease their minds. The Conmis,
sio1er then declared the farmers
can remain at their present loca-
ton until the District provides q
new market for them.
The move to take the farmers
market to Convention Hall does not
have the support of the District
government, Dougherty said. The
District IS now endeavoring to find
the best possible location for the
market, he declared, and bill is
now pending in Congress to locate
It in southwest washington.

To CHANGE
JAIL TO
FINE

Compulsory Jail sentences
Tor first-offense driving while
drunk, second-offense reckless
driving and third-offense
speeding would be eliminated
from the District traffic code
under the terms of a bill IN
troduced in the Senate today
by Chairman Capper, of the
Senate District Committee.
Capper submitted the measure on
the recommendation OF the District
COMMISSIONS The Commissioners
letter explaining the reason for the
proposed changes follows in part:
TO Courts Discretion
''In the case of first offense driv-
ing while intoxicated, and second
offense reckless driving, 1t is felt
that the courts should be allowed
|, to exercise a greater degree of dis
cretion than under the present act.
For this reason 1t is believed that
for first offense driving while In.
toxicated and second offense reck-
less driving it should be left to the
discretion Of the court as to whether
or not the defendant should be fined
or sent to jail, but that in all sub
gequent, cases the jail sentence
should apply.
SIN the case of third offense
speeding, as the act is now written,
q Jail sentence is compulsory even
though The offenses are committed
. years apart. It is felt that the
maximum penalty for third offense
speeding should be limited to Of
lenses committed within a period
OF one year. and that it be left to
the discretion of the court as to
whether or not the offenders should
be sent to Jail in addition to being
fined.
Difficult to Convict "a
Under the present law it Is diff.
cult to secure convictions on third
offense speeding because it is ap-
parentIy felt that a compulsory jail
sentence in some cases is entirely
too severe.
Owing to the compulsory Jail sem
fence for first offense driving while
intoxicated and second offense reck-
less driving. most offenders arrested
ron these charges ask for jury trials.
Exqerience has shown that it is diff
cult to secure convictions on account
OF the. compulsory j, IL sentence. It
Is believed that the ends of justice
would be served If heavy fines were
imposed for first offenses and the
permit cancelled as now provided by
law. and that the jail sentence apply
only to repeaters. except In the dis
cretion of the eeurt.
