SEAGULLS SAVE WARSHIP
FROM GERMAN SUBMARINE
London, March 17. —The German
submarines which are attacking British
and French ships in the North Sea
liave found dangerous foes in the sea
gulls, which follow everything afloat.
How a British warship was saved
from destruction through these birds is j
related in a letter received by the rec
tor of Bajibv from the son of one of
bis parishioners, who is a sailor in the
British navy. He says:
"A flock of seagulls has been fol
lowing our ship throughout our cruise.
In the afternoon after they have found i
their morning meal they generally set-.
tie on deck for a nap. 1 was watching
them the other day when I suddenly j
saw the entire flock leave our ship an 1< j
fly ouf to sea to a point where they
remained. By carefully watching the
water 1 soon discerned a black object
on the surface and immediately warned
the oflicer of the watch, who recognized
the periscope of a submarine. This
timely warning enabled us to get up
speed and proceed along a zigzag course '
and this manoeuvre saved u" from the ,
torpedo which was tired at us shortly |
afterward."
It is a well known fact that seagulls '
in their eager search for food surround j
everything afloat on the surface of the
water.

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless
l I;
If you want plenty of thick, beauti- j
ful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means :
get rid of dandruff, for it will starve ;
your hair and ruin it if you don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash'it out. The only sure way
to get rid of dandruft' is to dissolve it,
then you destroy it entirely. To do this,
get about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it nt night when retiring; |
use enough to moisten the scalp and rub >
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not nil, of your
dandruff will he gone, and three or'four;
more applications will completely dis- I
solve and entirely destroy every single I
sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching I
and digging of the scalp will stop, and j
vour hair will look and feel a hundred |
times better. You can get liquid arvon 1
iit any drug store. It is inexpensive and I
four ounces is all you will need, no mat-1
ter how much dandruff vou have. This I
umple remedy never fails.—Adv.
