Sure Way to Get Rid of Dandruff j nere is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. Then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordi nary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, I if not all, of your dandruff will he • gohe, and two or three more appli ' cations will completely dissolve and ' entirely destroy every single sign and ! trace of it, no matter how much ! dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop | instantly, and your hair will hr ' lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times hetter. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store and (our ounces is all you will need This simple remedy Has never been known to fail.

Fight Promoters Busy Enlarging Seat Capacities .Matchmaker for New York Velodrome Undecided— Rickard Out of Game Until Fall. K\V YORK. April Tex RIrkard will pro mote no 11 stlc match es in Yew York after the rioaing ehow at Madison Square Gar den, May 9. until the reopening of the In door boxing season. According to in formation, which •juries from a moat reliable source, Rick ard will not b« inter ested in the promo tlon of any lx>uts that may be staged at the New York Velodrome. It seems significant that there ha* been of late some tall hustling on the part of various promoters to Increase seating capacities of va rious outdoor parks, and also that there will be several newcomers In the field. Work lias already been started on the rebuilding of the Queensboro Stadium and the seat ing arrangements of the Dong Is land boxing renter will be doubled over last year. In addition to the new' fight club to be launched In the Flatbush vicin ity, known as Henderson’s field, and which 1* expected to seat 20,000, an other Brooklyn club will be In the field. This new combination will take over Dexter Park, a semi-pro hall Park, which at present seats 15,000. Just who will be matchmaker at the New Tork Velodrome hae not been decided. It Is understood that Frank Flournoy, who acta In that capacity for Rickard at Madison Square Gar-' den, will have no hand fn putting on the matches at the local cycle park this summer. Confirmation of the report that Rickard has tied up with the New Jersey powers is borne out by a statement from Newton K. Bugbee. head of the New Jersey boxing body.
