As an " investment in girls," the institution is designed especially to reach the S.OOO women employed In factories, the 2,000 In stores and the 4.000 In offices, besides many students and others In miscel laneous employment. While the dues have been placed at the low rate of $1 per year, the hoard has recently de cided to have fra- gymnasium classes three times a week.

DANDRUFF SURELY DESTROYS THE HAIR Makes It Bull, Brittle, Lifeless, and Causes It To Fall Out. Girls?If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all meuiis 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 dandruff Is to dis solve It, then you ?? destroy It entirely. To do this, get about four ounceB of 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 tour more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy, every slnglo sign and trace of It. You will ilnd, too, that all Itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will be silky, fluffy, lustrous, soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at &ny drug store. It is inexpennlvu and four ounces Is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff yoti havo. This pimple remedy never falls.?Adv. RELIEF COMMISSION MEETS HERE TO-MORROW A. D. Hrockett, of Alexandria, Named for Eighth District by Governor. DOYKIN OPENS HEADQUARTERS (Jreat Concert at City Auditorium In Projected to Aid in Raising Funds for Provisioning Relief Ship From Virginia. Virginia's campaign for the relief of destitute* and starving Belgians will bo oflVclally started at noon to-morrow, when Colonel M. M, Uoykln, chairman 01 the relief committee appointed to take charge of the work by Governor ?Stuart, will meet the ten district man agers, who will supervise the work In the ten congressional districts of the Sta*e. and complete plans for the rais ing of money find supplies. The meet ing will be held In the Jefferson Hotel, and will bo presided over by Colonel Uoykln. It wan discovered yesterday that the name of A. J). Brockett, of Alexandria, had been inadvertently omitted from the list of district managers for the campaign, and Governor Stuart at once ordored that he should be included as the manager from the Eighth Congres sional District, lie. with the pthor nine State representatives, will attend the meeting to-morrow and assist Colonel Uoykln in perfecting the details of an organlatlon which is to raise at leaat >10'\000 as this State's fund for the aid of the war sufferers In the little coun try which thus far lias borne the brunt of Europe's conflict. W1U, OPEN IIKAJMIUARTERH FOR RECEIPT OF DONATION'S Following the meeting at the .lef ferson Hotel, Colonel lioykin's Rl?h mond headquarters iwlll be formally I opened at U04 East Broad Streot for the receipt of money, provisions and clothing which -will compoee the cargo of the Virginia State relief ship. It was said last night that an adequate office force would be employed to re ceive the donations, and that this force J would be lncrca-sed as the press of the work demanded. When Governor Stuart first Issued his proclamation calling on the people of tho State to uselet In yiaklng Vir ginia's ship of succor one of tho most important undertakings of tho kind sent out from the Untted States, it was said that tho vessel's cargo would be limited to provisions. However, | Colonel Jloykin and Belgian Consul Frederick E. Molting were yesterday In I conference on tho matter, and It was decided that clothing was also greatly needed by the war victims, and that It would be practicable to Include such articles in tho cargo. All money i turned in at relief headquarters will be spent for provisions and clothing, and will bo sent to Belgium within the next two or three weeks on a specially chartered ship, which is to sail from Norfolk under the State flag. STHO.VC SKXTIJ1EXT HACK OF RELIEF WORK A great State-wide sentiment In favor of perfecting tho relief work which Governor Stuart started has al ready "been evinced, and corporations, business firm* and Individuals are rallying to the assistance of those In charge of tho work In a manner which Hems to Indicate that the undertaking will be a success. Railways through out the State have agreed to carry the shipments of provisions for the ship to Norfolk without charge. The Remington Typewriter Company yes terday offered the loan of two ma chines to the headquarters here. The Baughman Stationery Company catno forward with the gift of 1,000 letter head and envelopes, while the Chesa peake and Potomac Telephone Com pany offered to install telephones In the headquarters without cost. Al ready a sum approximating |2.000 has been subscribed In this city, and yes terday's mall brought Colonel Boykin j letters from persons in many sections of the State asking for Instructions as I to the shipments of donations and . the character of gifts desired. GREAT CO.VCEHT TO SWEI.I, REMEF FIJXD Other announcements of Interest were to the effect that two musicals and a Belgian Tag Day have already been arranged for In an effort to swell tlio amount of money which will l e used to provision the ship.

While tho general managership ot the campaign will be under the charge of Colonel Boykln, the ten district managers will conduct the work of securing the provisions In their re spective districts, and will make their shipments direct to Norfolk. They will keep In close touch with the Rich mond headquarters, and will report from tlrno to time the progress of tho work In their sections. It is probable that the ten main divisions will be subdivided in turn, and sectional man agers appointed, who will report to thoso In charge of the district.
