To do this, get ibout four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retir ing; use enough to moisten the scalp ind rub it in gently with the finger :ips. Do this tonight, and by morning most if not all of your dandruff will 3e gone, and three or four more ap plications 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 at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. Adv. WOMAN MAKES GOOD AS AUTO SALESMAN Chalmers' Agent in Paris Over comes War's Obstacles and Business Booms. IS A FAMOUS AVIATRIX Mile. Helene Dutrieu of Paris, the first woman to operate an aeroplane, and famous as the holder of many long distance records in aviation, was a recent visitor to the plant of the v.naimers Motor company. Mile. Dutrieu arrived on the steam er Espagne, which narrowly escaped being torpedoed off the coast of France. For the last year she has had the French sales rights of the Chalmers cars and has enjoyed an excellent business, despite war con ditions. "Since the war I have been forced to give up my active work in avia tion, said Mile Dutrieu in Detroit "The French authorities do not per mit the use of planes save for mili tary purposes and 1 have not used my plane since the first time Paris was threatened by the German army. At that time I reported for scout duty and was on active service for several weeks. Doubling Prices. "At nresent the French eovern ment charges 70 per cent duty on American cars and freight charges are so high tha' by the time the cars are set down in Paris, they cost 100 per cent more than factory price. In spite of this fact I can sell all the Chalmers cars that I can get. Among my re cent customers was Henri Farman, the biggest builder of aeroplanes in Europe. Mile. Marthe Chenaille, the reigning actress and beauty of Paris, also drives a Chalmers Six." Before leaving Detroit Mile. Du trieu ordered a big shipment of cars for immediate delivery to her head quarters in Paris. She intends to sail for home within the next ten days.

Four-Passenger Allen Shown for First Time One of the cars introduced at the New York and Chicago shows which "made good" to an unusual degree was the new Allen four-passenger "Classic" roadster. This new model sells for $875 and bids fair to vie with cars of this style selling for $1,000 and over. The four-passenger allei. "Classic" is built on the standcrd Allen chassis with thirty-seven horse t-ower, four cylinder motor and 112-inch wheel base, which makes possible a hand some and liberal sized body, accom modating easily four t,rown persons. The attractive, stream line body is finished in "Classic" brown with Span ish brown upholstery, blac1' radiator and fenders and cream colored wheels. The front seats are of the bucket type with an eig' t-inch passage be tween. The rear seat is thirty-eight inches wide, twenty inches deep, with sixteen inches leg room between the front of the rear seat and the back of the front seat, which clearly indicates that the Allen is not handicapped by a cramped rear compartment so com mon to four-passenger roadsters. Comfortable upholstery, lonE wheel base, full-floating rear axl and fifty-five-inch rear springs make riding a comfort. The Stewart vacuum gas feed with tank in rear, two-unit electric system for starting, lighting and ignition, full ventilating wind shield and demount able rims are indications that conveni ence has not been overlooked. The top is of ge.it.ine "neverleak." There is a roomy compartment in the back, opened from the rear, for spare tires, luggage and tools. Wilson Says That Orders Swamp Davis Company The George W. Davis Motor Car company of Richmond, Ind., builders of the Davis automobile, has increased its capacity just double for 1917 and their force is working full time, vet they are not able to keep up with their orders. W. T. Wilson, distributor for Iowa and Nebraska, says, "There is but one answer to the heavy demand for the Davis car and that is we are building a car that the people want. The car is here for inspection. Each person who has made an inspection of the Davis car invariably remarks that every unit is absolutely standard and as good as mo: ey can buy. We are always more than oleased to demonstrate our car. The Dublie today knows the advantage of buying a car built of standard units and is demanding it; consequently, we are selling tne public what it wants."

BUICK AUTOS RIDE ON CIRCUS TRAIN Nebraska Buick Auto Company Solves Big Problem in a Big Way.

They will load the train at the Buick factory, shipping it to Omaha, where the cars will be unloaded and driven out into the states of Nebraska and Iowa. The train will be returned empty to the factory, loaded again and shipped back to the Omaha branch. In this manner Mr. Huff expects to have a tram load of Buicks in Oma ha every other week.
