PHYSICIANS PROTEST MEASURE SPONSORED

BY DRUGGIST. LOBBY

Richmond physicians are preparing; to submit to the state legislature, through Senator McConaha and Representatives Bartel and LaFuze, a vigorous protest against two pending bills which are said to be sponsored by the very active and very effective druggists' lobby. Dr. Arthur J. Whallon and Dr. Julius Grosvenor of this city today called to public attention the provisions of the two measures which are so objectionable to members of the medical profession. One senate bill prohibits physicians from dispensing or disposing of sixty-seven kinds of drugs, all of which are drugs most commonly used by physicians. - Such a law would require securing these drugs from druggists on physicians' prescriptions. "Apparently, if such a laW was enacted, a physician, in an emergency case, for instance., could not administer the required drug until a prescription order had been filled by some druggist." remarked Dr. JuliU3 Grosvenor. "This bill is extremely obnoxious and is purely a druggist measure," said Dr. Whallon. "It was introduced by Senator Hemphill, a retired druggist." Another senate bill, introduced' by Senator Beardsley. places numerous restrictions upon physicians.

LATEST PHOTOGRAPH OF VON FALKENHAYN

GEN- "VON" rAIfKEUHAYN.

This Is. the latest photograph of General von Falkchhayn, the man who, with General von Mackenscn, conquered Rumania. The picture was made recently "somewhere in Rumania," soon after the capture of Bucharest. General von Falkenhayn is now in Greece, having made the trip by submarine. Allied military critics consider Falkenhayn'a presence there significant of some sort of a move against General Sarrail's Saloniki army. While the Allies control practically all of Greece, some of the border towns are held by the Bulgarians and Germans. It Is in one of these towns that von Falkenhayn has put in an appearance.

NEW GRAVEL COMPANY ENTERS EVANS APPEAL IN BRIDGE CASE

The Greenville (O.) Gravel company is planning to submit bids for the gravel for the $180,000 Main street bridge and the $185,000 South G

street bridge, it was reported today. Omar Bullerdick of the Bullerdick coal company, is local agent for the Ohio company. It is understood that if the Ohio company gets the contract, the gravel can be hauled in dump cars and unloaled at small expense into bins at the Bullerdick coal company. It then could be dumped into carts and hauled to the bridge sites. Expect Reasonable Bid The location of the proposed South G street bridge is less than a square from the coal company's bins. Contidering all advantages of. transportation and handling, it was estimated that the Greenville company, which is one of the largest in the country, would be able to furnish gravel as cheaply as a company .taking gravel out of the river lied near the bridge Cites. Announcement was made a week ago that the Richmond Gravel company had purchased the Jonathan Evans' property in the river . valley through which the proposed . South G street bridge would pass. ' In this company are Howard Gluys, Levi Pea-

POTENTIAL CITIZENS

ON SUNKEN VESSEL

(By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 9. The three children of Mrs. Mary J. O'Donnell, two of whom, with their mother, were reported among the mission passengers of the Anchor Line steamer California, sunk by a submarine, were born in Philadelphia and according to authorities here, were "Potential Americans." The third child was among the survivors. Notwithstanding that their parents were not naturalized these authorities hold that the O'Donnell boys, at the age of 21, could have become American citizens by the simple process of registering as voters. At their option, however, it was held that they could have chosen British citizenship, by returning to England, in the same manner.

Lease Considerable Ground It was reported today that the Richmond Gravel company has eitJier purchased or leased a large part of the river bottom land near the bridge sites including the large strip of land touth of the Starr piano company. Mr.. Peacock said last week he had no assurance that his company would secure the contract for furnishing

gravel for the bridges. It is evident.

however, that the land was purchased with the view of getting, the large bridge gravel contracts. Last summer when the Evans' property was condemned for the opening of South G street premilinary to the building of the bridge, the board of works awarded the Evans' property $500 damages. An appeal '"as taken to the circuit court for $2,000 damages. This appeal is Btill pending. When asked if the appeal would be dismissed, Mr. Peacock replied, "that depends." He declined to discuss the proposition further. The Evans' appeal plays a prominent part in the South G street bridge situation. Gus Hoelscher, former county attorney, advised the commissioners not to permit any work to be started on the bridge until the appeal is settled.

Many millions of acres are available in New Mexico for settlement under the recently enacted Ferris grazing law. The influx of homesteaders already has been astonishing, it is said.

BUCK'S WIFE HELD BY OFFICER BUCK; THIRD BUCK SUES

When Ethel Patterson Smith, colored, former wife of "Buck Patterson, was brought into police court today by Officer "Buck" Wenger, she vehemently denied the charge that she had stolen 70 pounds of coal from Henry "Buck" Menke, a coal dealer, and asserted it was a case of mistaken identity. . WhenMenke arrived he promptly informed the court that Mrs. Ethel Patterson Smith was not the woman who bad taken the coal. "Lands sake, no, I ain't the woman. I weigh about sixty pounds more than the woman that took the coal," she exclaimed as she made her triumphant exit. The woman who was really charged with the theft was Mtb. Etta Smith, colored, manager of a restaurant. When this woman was brought into court she entered a plea of not guilty and asked that the hearing of her

case be postponed until next Monday Menke says he has been greatly &n-

noyed by petty coal thefts all winter

and he has retained a lawyer to assist in prosecuting the pending case. MAKE SLIGHT GAIN

The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces 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. Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single 6ign and trace of it, no matter bow 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.
