Kept Xude to Save Her Life, Little Virginia Myers Develops Grace of Movement Which Finds Expression in Dancing. NKW YORK, Sept. 24. (Special.) Society and art circles in New York have been much interested in the dan cing of a little 9-year-old girl, Virginia Myers, fane is the daughter of Jerome i Myers, an artist who has achieved dis-l i i : a i . i : i what makes Virginia's case the more! interesting is the fact that she was a "nature baby' that is, she was brought up in the free air unhampered by clothing. ? a baby she was weak and the doctors did not expect her to live. For a long time her stomach would not retain nourishment, and her mother kept her alive with nourishment in the form of olive oil taken in through the pores of tbe skin. During this period Virginia never wore clothing. She was brought up in a New York City studio and she gained strength and thrived in the city air. When she was 2 her parents moved to a bungalow in the country, where Virginia continued to run about un hampered by clothing. In these con ditions she developed a wonderful grace of movement which later found expression in dancing. Last Winter she danced before sev eral private audiences and charmed them by her interpretation of classical music. She has apparently no under standing of music except as she ex presses it in the dance. She is not trained in dancing, but critics say that she interprets the spirit of music choreographically in a wonderful way. Mr. Myers and her mother are not advocates of nature training for chil dren in general, but the development of little Virginia proves to them that they were right in their theory about the needs of her nature.

Motor Bus Lines Held io Be Common Carrier, But State Body Dis claims Jurisdiction. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 2. The State Railroad Commission disclaimed today jurisdiction over jitneys and motor busses in a decision dismissing two suits brought by the United Railways, of San Francisco, and the W estern As sociation of Short Line Railroads against competing motor bus lines. The Commission held, however, that motor bus lines are common carriers. The Commission said that the Cali fornia constitution declared common carriers to be public utilities, but that it alo provided that public utilities should be subject only to such regu lations as provided by the Legislature. The Legislature had not given the Commission jurisdiction over jitneys and botor bus lines, the Commission said, and therefore the two suits were dismissed. The suit of the United Railroads was Phil Metsclran, Sr., Improving. Phil Metschan. Sr.. who has been ill at his apartments at the Imperial Ho tel, was reported yesterday to be show ing an improvement in his condition. His temperature was lower and an early recovery was hoped for. A Sure Way to End Dandruff There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, 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), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the fin ger tips. 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 sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and digging 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. Adv.
