DANDRUFF
SoonD nDestroystheHair

Ii 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 if you don't.
It doesn't do much 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 some
plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring, using
enough to moisten the scalp, and
rubbing 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 completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace Of it.
You will find, too, that all itch.
ing 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. It won't cost you more
than thirty-five cents (35c). No
matter how much dandruff you
have, this simple remedy never
fails,

Senator King has expressed the
belief that no definite legislation

suit of the milk investigation,
but other members of the COM

Senator Pat McCarran Cd of
Nevada, chairman of the sub

the bill enlarging the powers Of

What the tax rate will be is still

Efforts to keep down the rate
are paramount this year, however.

D. {. CENTER
Items Already Approved Use
Bulk of Money; City Heads
Hold Up Construction

Further delay in beginning con-
struction of the proposed Munich
pal Center appeared inevitable to-
day as District officials were hold
ing UP the $1,00o,0oo supplemental
estimate for the work.
The center project. it appears,
will be crowded from the list Of
supplementalS to be sought Of the
Budget Bureau, because Of relief
and other needs which have arisen
since the estimate was prepared.
Those Already Set
Estimates already prepared in
clude: $150,000 for the Georgetown
branch library: $4,000 for plans
for a high-level bridge to replace
Chain Bridge; $205,000 for COM
pletion of the Anacostia Junior
High School; $65, 900 for an addi-
ton to Phelps School,; $4,000
for an addition to Deal Junior
High School; $4,000 for an addi-
ton to Armstrong High School;
SGT 600 for land on which to build
an addition to Phelps School;
$150,000 for purchase Of a site for
the jefferson Junior High Scnool,
and $500 900 for completion Of the
walled group Of buildings at the
Lorton Reformatory.
These items total $1,243,000. In
addition to which the following
estimates are being sent to the
Bureau of the Budget: $45,244
for child welfare; $67,542 for med
ical and dental inspection in pub
lie schools; $2,700,O00 for emer.
gency relief, and $3.50 additional
for vocational rehabilitation OF
disabled District citizens.
More Pressing Items
Thus. a total of $4,O59,536 al
ready is being sought in supple
mental estimates for the fiscal
year 1885.
Since the total estimated sur
plus for the year is $5,050, 900,
there would not be enough money
to provide the $1,000,000 for the
Municipal Center.
The Commissioners feel that the
other items are more pressing
than the center, and that 1t must
therefore be dropped.
The $2,700,000 item for emer-
gency relief was added only re-
Gently, when it became apparent
that the item of $1.300.0O0 in the
District appropriation bill would
not be enough to take care of re-
lief needs during the fiscal year,
especially in view of the proposed
expansion of relief work.

MOUNT VERNON
BANK REOPENS
FOR BUSINESS
10000 Depositors Are Given
100000 After Merger
With Mechanics
By DUNBAR HARE

The Mount Vernon Savings
Bank, closed since the banking
holiday, opened for business today.
The opening was made possible
by a merger with the unrestricted
Washington Mechanics Savings
Bank. In about 80 days the
Franklin National Bank also will
b, absorbed and at that time q
new name will be coined.
For the present the Mount Yer
non is operating as a branch Of
the Washington Mechanics, with
c. F. Burton, executive vice pres1-
dent, and Frank w. Lee in charge.
Both Mr.. Burton and Mr.. Lee
reported a busy day for the bank.
There was some Withdrawals, as
was naturally expected, but con-
siderable new business.
No ceremonies attended the
opening, but the bank was a
literal bower of flowers, sent by
other financial organizations in
the city and other wellwishers.
The opening of the Mt. Vernon
releases $800,00 among 10000 de-
positors. Under the agreement by
which the depositors consented to
the merger, they are receiving a
40 per cent dividend
The Franklin National Bank is
not expected to join the combina-
ton under 80 days. When it is
absorbed it is estimated that
$1,000,000 will be freed among
about 10000 Washingtonians.

OF INTRUDER
CHECKED
Six Recovering From Effects
OF Gas Turned on by
Supposed Burglar

Fingerprints from a piece of
glass were being compared today
with files of the District police
and the Department of Justice,
while Prince Georges county po-
icemen continued their investi-
CATION into the attempted killing
of two families at Beaver Heights,
Md, yesterday morning by gas.
A belief that the intruder may
have been a part of the gang
that has been terrorizing Bote-
tourt county, Virginia. was elimi-
mated by police, who pointed out
that the motive was probably
robbery.
All Recovering
The two families who lived at
the house, now recovering, are
Freeman Ryan, Edith Ryan, his
wife, and their two-year-old
daughter, Patsy; Mrs. Olive
Kloczowski and her son, Carl, 10,
and her nephew. Pryor Jones, q.
Another theory advanced was
that the burglar became enraged
when he could find only a few
dollars and few pieces of jewelry
and opened the burners Of the
gas stove.
Police intimated, however, that
they would run the theory to the
ground that the intruder may
have rifled the house only to
cover up an attempt to kill the
entire group.
Crime Reconstructed
From evidence in their posses
sion, police believe the thief, in
stocking feet, left his shoes in a
car on a nearby road, entered the
house through a window, looked
for valuables and found nothing
of importance, went to the
kitchen, where he blew out the
pilot light on the gas stove and
opened all of the burners, care
fully closed the window through
which he entered, and returned to
the road.
The burglar took with him the
keys to the house, the garage and
the automobile.
