TWO ALARMS FOR FIRE
Fire companies were called to
Sixth and Cumberland at It o'clock

was a burning awning at Parson'*
Drug Store, located* at that corner.
An earlier alarm was turned in from

rough skin, ruddiness, wrinkles, and,
in fact, every blemish the lace, hands
and arms are heirs to. If your neck
or chest is discolored from exposure,
apply this combination there and the
objectionable defect will disappear as
if by magic. It is absolutely harm
less and will not produce or stimulate
a growth of hail'. Xo matter how
rough and ungainly the hands and
arms, or what abuses they have had
through hard work and exposure to
sun ami wind, this oatmeai-derwillo
combination will work a wonderful

have had the same results 1 have had.
Note: To get the best effect be sure
to follow the complete directions con
tained in every package of derwillo.
You have only to get derwillo and oat
meal. You need nothing else and it
is so simple that anyone can use it;
and is so inexpensive that any girl or
woman can afford it. The manufac

Ambuluncc Is Busy
Two trips of the Harrisburg dm-1
bulance were necessary to take the;
victims to the hospital.
The rest of the men received first
aid treatment at the scene of the
accident, and were able to go to their
homes.
The accident happened, at 7.50.
The shift of 150 men employed in
the easting room began work at 6
o'clock. The "bell" which blew off,
is the receptacle into which the ore,
coke and stone is fed for the manu
facture of pig iron. From the he!l
it is dumped into the furnace, and!
then run into the moulds which form I
the floor of the costing room. This]
bell was blown off when the pres- j
sure of the gases pumped beneath it'
from the huge stoves nearly became!
too great to be taken care of by their
outlet, known as the "feeder," situ
ated at the top of the furnace.
The pig iron is not used at the
(Central Iron and Steel Company for
the products they manufacture, and
therefore none of their other con
trOTts will be held up. The pig iron
is shipped mostly to the Luken Steel
Company and another large steel
company here, in Harrisburg.
Official Statement
The official statement given out at
the Central Iron and Steel Company
following the accident this morning
follows:
"Due to irregular working condi
tions, high internal pressures de
veloped and lifted the top off No. 2
blast furnace. It was at first thought
an explosion had occurred but such
was not the case. Necessary replace
ments and repairs will be made
onco and expect to resume operatiot
within thirty days. Several men
were injured but none seriously." •
ALLIED ARMIES
POOL RESERVES
FOR BIG DRIVE
Versailles Council Is Said to
Hold Key to the
Riddle
Wn.sliington, March 20.—The key
to the 1918 riddle of the western
battle front is in the hands of the
supreme war council at Versailles.
The decision as to the time and
place of major offensives by the al
lies rests with that body. , It directly
controls also, officers here believe,
a new weapon forged during the
winter with which to make effective
its plan of grand strategy. That
weapon is believed to be a pooling
of the reserves of all allied armies,
permitting overwhelming concen
tration at selected points of attack.

the German high command plans a
defensive campaign, and that the
long-heralded drive on Paris or the
channel has been abandoned. The
initiative, ' according to this view,
rests with the allied and American
forces. Communiques are being
closely scanned for the first indica
tion of any offensive operations that
may have been mapped out at Ver
sailles.
Created at Wilson's Behest
The supreme council was created
at the urgent Insistence of President
Wilson for aggressive action this
year, based on co-ordinated plans
under the direction of a single
agency. The exact scope of the
council's authority has never been
disclosed. It was said, both by
Premier Lloyd George and by Lord
Curzon, however, In explaining the
status of the British imperial gen
eral staff and the commander in the
field. Sir Douglas Haig. that certain
British forces had been assigned to
the council's cdntrol.
Decision by the war council, offi
cers here believe, as to the field
where these and similar forces from
other armies are to be concentrated,
will show where allied blows at the
German defenses are designed to
fall. If there Is to be no German
drive, as the War Department pre
dieted yesterday in its weekly war
review, the council will not be
forced to hold its reserves for de
fensive purposes, and can devote this
new agency to attempts to smash
weak points in the German line.
Scene May Shift to Italy
Opinion as to the sectors offering
the best opportunity for *a*llied as
saults varies widely here. ■ There is
substantial agreement, however, that
the Italian front may, in fact, be
come the main theater of war this
year. Austro-German concentra
tions and possible offensives on that
front, also noted by the weekly war
summary, may represent the recog
nition of this view by the German
high command.
In any event, even though the
supreme council might have decided
to make the effort to break through
in Italy, it is believed the first moves
in the game would be played in
France and Flanders. Drives with
all the appearance of being the real
offensive would undoubtedly accom
pany or precede the main thrust.
The pooled allied reserves, under
direction of the supreme council,
would make possible a campaign of
such nature, designed to the
German command perplexed as to
which assault would be driven
home.

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff
There is one sure way that lias
never failed to remove dandruff it
once, and that is to dissolve its then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), rip
ply it at night when retiring; usa
enough to moisten.the scalp and rul>
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.
