Mctiown, chairman; Mrs. Winchester Kelso,
Mrs. K. C. Branch, Mrs. T. A. Coleman,
Mrs. Fannie Goodman, Mrs. II. I'. Drouth
and Mrs. Ilarry Lundu, have launched their
plans by which they hope to endow one
or more wards in the first American Bed
Cross Hospital in NeullIy-sur-Selne, Just
outside of Paris, France, with the above
beds already assured. Any one wish'"? to
contribute or wishing further information
may write Mrs. Floyd McGown, Bo\ 381,
San Antonio Postofflce.
Knell mail brings uew encouragement to
the hospital committee of the Battle of
Flowers Committee of which Mrs. Floyd
McGown is chairman. Two beds were en
riowed yesterday, one by a friend and
the second by Captain and Mrs .1. II.
Lapham, who mailed a check saying (hat
it had been their intention to contribute
the necessary amount, tendering it to Miss
Krama Keed, she in turn told them of the
work having been undertaken by the
ladies of the Battle of Flowers' Association.
Mrs. McGown has telegraphed for litera-
ture so that the public may have more
information about the "First American
Red Cross Hospital" which is at Neuilly
sur Seine, and it is there that the ward
which contains ten beds will be endowed,
and if the donations justify more than the
ten. Word comes from over there that
the need to make the men in these hos-
pitals comfortable and provide them with
surgeons, nurses, and then the comforts
which their sacrifices demand, are great,
so as not allow them to die without any
attention as a San Antonio boy writes is
the case.
The committee is anxious to see con-

This clipping from a recent magazine
will be of interest to San Antonio's l»a
triotie knitters:
"Stop knitting sweaters of bright col-
ored wool: That is the message of the
woman's committee of the Council of Na-
tional Defense t<» the women «>f the 1'nitid
States. It sends this message at the re-
quest of the Government authorities, whom
it represents.
"Official correspondence of the woman's
committee shows that, while America'!
nurses and soldiers in France this win-
ter have been appealing for a total of (».-
000,000 articles of clothing made of wool,
thousands of women in the T'nited States
have been using up enough wool lor
fancy sweaters to equip the greater part
of the army.
"Knitting yarn has advanced in price
because of the enormous demand aud the
limited supply. It has been impossible for
orntractors and mills to do all required
of them by army, navy and Ited C.oss
needs because enormous quantities of yarn
were diverted to non-essential purposes.
"The women's conr.inittee believes that
In this emergency possession of more than
one woolen sweater by any woman should
be csiise for shame rather than pride.''

Sure Way to Get
Rid of Dandruff
There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
Is to dissolve It. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary 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, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or fonr
more applications will completely dis-
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of It. no ma\ter 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 be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and Idbk and feel
a hundred times better.
You ran get liquid arvon at any drug
store It i* Inexpensive, and four ounces
Is ail yuo mill need. This simple remedy
has never been known to fail. tAdv.)

UNCLE WIGGILY AND HIS FLAG
ff^HKTLL, what in the world have you there?"
▼ w asked Nurse June Fuizy Wuny, the
muskrat lady housekeeper, one day. as she *aw
I'nclc Wlgglly I/ingoara, the rabbit gentleman,
coming toward his hollow stump bungalow with
a lon>c pole over his shoulder. "Excuse me for
asking." hbe went on, "but are you going fish-
ing, or what?"
"Mostly what, I gu<vs." answered the bunny
uncle, "for I atn surely not going fishing.''
• But what are you going to do with the
pole'/" asked Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. 'it looks
like the kind you used for the climbing beans
when you had your farm, hut you eau't raise
beans in winter."
"No more you can." said Uncle Wlgglly wlih
a tynile that made his pink nose twinkle like
a strawberry In the end of a lolly pop. "But
tlits is not a bean pole. It is a flag |>ole. I
am going to plant it in front of my bungalow
and raise a flag on it."
"What for?" Nurse Jane wanted to know.
"To show that I hive my country of Woodland
where we animal people live." answered the
bunny mule. "Tho fhig 1 am going to make
pointed and stickery, like »tars, but they ar«
not whit*."
"I can dip the chestnut burrs in white stat-'h
! for you and make them white." offered Nurse
Jane.
"Will you?" asked the bunny.
"Gladly," said the uiuskrat lady.
So that much more of the flag was done.
"Rot what am I to do for the blue patch In
which to stick my starched white chestnut hurt
stars?" asked the bunny.
i can color a piece of white blreh bark
blue with the blueing I use for my clothes,*•
said Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy.
"And will you?" asked Uncle Wlgglly.
"Right gladly," said Nurse Jane.
Ko she did this and then Uncle Wlgglly stuck
the white chestnut hurra on the blue patch
in the corner of his flag, and with the white
strips of birch bark, and the red strips from
the redwood tree, there was a fine flag for
tbe bunny,
"Hurray!" cried Uncle Wlgglly, as h© hoisted
the flag up on the pole.
"Hurray!" cried Nurse Jane, waring her tail
as Uncle Wlgglly twinkled his pink nose and
shook his tall silk hat.
Then, just as the flag wm proudly floating
from the top of the pole, along came the bad
old Skeesicks and tried to pull It down.
"Please go away from there!" t»ald Uncle
WiggHy.
"No!" impolitely answered the Skeezicks.
"Well. I'll make you go," spoke Nurse Jane,
and, with that she threw some left-over chest-
nut burrs at the bad creature and also some
of the blueing and starch, and the Skeezlcks
was ho stuck up from the sticky starch and so
scratched from the burrs, and lie felt so badly
blue from the blueing, that lie ran away, and
Uncle Wiggily's flag was not hurt a bit.
So this teaches us that if you can't hare
lollypops take Ice cream, and if tbe frying
pan doesn't go to sleep in the gas stove oven
and forget to come out and dance with tho
buckwheat cakes I'll tell you next about Uncle
Wlgglly and rice puddings.

Wlgglly, "I'm going to make it of stars and
stripes, but not like the Stars and Str5j>eft

Nurse June. j
"I'll have to look fr»r a redwood tree." an j
swered the bunny. And he hunted through the
woods until he did find a redwood tree growing.
It had lived once in far-off. beautiful Cali-
fornia. but. by soine ncans or other, perhaps
magical or fairy like for all 1 can tell, the red
wood tree was growing near Uncle Wiggily's
hollow stump bungalow.
"And of course a redwood tree had red bark.
I'll just strip off some strips and have them
for the red part of my flag." said the bunny.
This he did and now half of his flag was
done.
Kut still I need some white stars on a patch
of blue." he said to Nurse Jane. I can make
tbe stars out of old chestnut burrs. They are
