|STATUE OF z GODS
found IN ATHENS
Discovery Declared Impor-
tant Link in Reconstruct
ing Ancient City.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSs.
ATHENS, Greece, April 2.-Prof
T. Leslie Shear of Princeton Univer-
sity and in charge Of all archeologi-
cal activities In the "Agora" or
Athenian market place of antiquity,
has announced another important dis
covery.
Remains have been found of a tenn
pie where stood the one-time famous
statue to the II GODS" mentioned
repeatedly as landmark in the
works Of ancient authors and long
sought as an essential to reconstruc-
ton Of the topography in Athens of
ancient times.
Previous Conjecture Upset.
Like the discovery Of the "Tholos''
or round temple used of old for politi-
cal entertainment, the ruins of which
were lately unearthed by Prof. Shear
and his assistants, these new-found
remains contribute to the destruction
OF all previous conjecture upon which
scholars have based their conception
of how the classic city looked.
The base of the statue remains with
evidences of metal clamps to which a
bronze statue was once attached and
bears an inscription saying that
Leagros, famous general of the earlv
fifth century B. c., had dedicated it
to the y gods.
Believed Located Elsewhere.
Undoubtedly, said Prof. Shear. the
statue stood at the intersection of two
OF the most important thoroughfares,
The statue was hitherto thought to be
elsewhere and much of the erstwhile
topography had been mapped out &C
cordingly.
The misfortune connected with the
discovery lies in the fact that the
PlraeuS-AthenS Railroad cuts through
the immediate region rendering much
further research impossible.

DANDRUFF
SoonDestroystheHair

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
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 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 entirely
destroy every single sign and trace
I of it.
\ You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop. and
your hair will look and feel hun
dred times better. You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. 1t won't cost
you more than thirty-flVe cents (35c).
/ No matter how much dandrutf you
have, this simple remedy never fails.

Part:
May ! congratulate the organizers
of the Citizens Conference on the
Crisis in Education for calling to-
gether leaders in American thought to
consider ways and means of solving
some of the critical problems that con-
front the schools of the Nation.
Although the effects of the present
lack of adequate educational oppor-
tunities on our national life may not
be noticeable today. the time may soon
come when direful effects will be ap-
parent. 1t is, therefore, the RESPONSE
bllity of every American to see that
the great strides that We have made

ELECTORAL VOTE
SEEN AS ISSUE
G. o. p. Leaders Hope for
House Passage to Make
Campaign Talk.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Republican leaders are cycling as a
possible November campaign issue
the Roosevelt approved Lea-Norris
constitutional amendment to change
the method of electing President.
Arguments for and against the pro-
posal may be shouted in every State
before the year is out. Campaign
issues are pretty scarce.
CT. o. P chieftains on Capitol Hill
hope the amendment will be adopted
soon by the House, but fail to get
Senate approval. This would enhance
it as a talking point in the congress
sional elections.
They claim it would give the South
ern States too heavy voice and thus
tend to keep a Democratic President
in office.
Representative Lea, Democrat, of
California, and Senator Norris, Re
publican, of Nebraska, proposed to
abolish the existing electoral system
under which a presidential candidate
who receives majority Of the popu-
lar votes in any State gets all the cleo
toral votes of that State.
Division on State Basis.
The new idea would be to divide the
SOL electoral votes of the Nation in
exact proportion to the popular vote
The division, however, would not be
on a Nationwide, but a State basis.
"Such system" said Represent
alive Martin of Massachusetts,, one
of the House Republican leaders,
would give the Southern Democratic
States perpetual control of the preSl-
dency.
- In New York, for instance, man
who now carries that State gets all
of its At electoral votes. If the unit
rule ceased to prevail New York, be-
ing really a tWo-party State, might
give % electoral votes to one man and
"a to the other.
mississippi would come along and
give eight of its nine electoral votes,
at least, to one man. The other
Southern States would do the same
House Vote Assured.
To this argument, Lea replied that
under his proposed system strong
tWo-party states WOULD pe the gen.
eral result.
mississippi might be 80 per cent
Democratic now" Lea argued. but it
could easily become so per cent Re
publican if the Republicans thought
their votes would figure at all in
presidential election.
The Republicans would like to
see the House pass it SO that in the
coming November congressional cleo
tions they could charge that the
Democrats are seeking to give their
party perpetual control of the Ma
tional Government.
The resolution is due to get an
20 K" from the Rules Committee
this week, that stamp of approval
assuring House vote.

Sixteenth st. Citizens
Hear Riley EIqen Talk

The merger of the Washington
Rapid Transit Company with the
Capital Transit Company is i'm
minent. but an investigation will
be made by the Public Utilities
Commission regarding value at
which it may be bought by the
Capital Transit Company, and a
hearing will have to be held, Riley

deep concern to the commission
charged with the duty of regulat-
ing transportation agencies, upon
which these employees to a great
extent must depend for regular
service, Mr.. Elgen said. The Com

bar or counter. There is, in his
opinion, no sensible reason for
having drinks mixed behind a
screen, as the present law re-
quires.
Evasion Easy
The tavern law prohibits serving
sandwiches prepared off the
premises with drinks. 1t is quite
easy to evade that clause he said,
by purchasing sliced bread and
cooked ham and making them
up in the building where bev-
erages are served.
The Eighteenth Amendment,
Mr.. Prettyman said, was brought
about by a disregard and abuse
of the law, and could be returned
to the statute books. 1t was,
therefore, he said, incumbent on
every person engaged in dispensing
alcoholic beverages to cooperate
in supporting the law governing
its repeal.
Bus Service Asked
The association approved a re-
port from Edwin c. Reed, chair
man of the committee on public
utilities, requesting the Capital
Transit Company to improve bus
service, discontinue old equipment
on the Foxhall-Burleith line, re-
place the 8:15 a. m. bus for the
convenience of Government en-
ployes, and establish through ser.
vice during rush hours to Tenth
and E Streets Northwest.

E|NSTE|N GIVES SIMPLE PROOF
 OF HIS THEORY

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 29.- Prof. Albert Einstein offered sim plified proof here last night that mass and energy are equivalent and, for many practical purposes, identical.
 Professor Einstein based his proofs on new equations and en- arrangements which he has receiv- ed in that branch of physical science which, he hopes, in the next few years will lay the founda- tions of a world more secure and comfortable"
 In announcing his proof, the not ed German-Jewish scientist said that he had eliminated complicated electro fields, with which this equivalence of mass. weight and energy has heretofore been proven used Instead, the simple collision of two material particles prove the same thing.
 The proof was contained in Pro- lessor Einste!n's first important speech in the United States since his original announcement on the subject several years ago. The speech. given before the American
