Restore Gray Hair

The old idea of using Sage for dark

vogue. Our grandmothers had dark
glossy hair at seventy-five. while our
mothers are gray before they arc
fifty. Our grandmothers kept their
hair soft and glossy with a Sage

color.
One objection to using such a
preparation was the trouble of maxi
ing it. This objection has been over
come by the Wyeth Chemical Conn
pany Of New York, who has placed on
the market a superior preparation of

intended for vessel large enough
to be deeumented, licensed or register
ed by the government. a literal con-
struetion of the word vessel" under
the revised statutes, would embrace
all crafts, whatever their size. The
customs court has held, however, that
racing shell is not vessel and fol-
lowing that reasoning the department
is expected to decide that anything
less than five tons likewise is not a
vessel.
In all probabil iron ore and pig
iron to be nodded into materials for
vessels will be held by the department
to be entitled to free entry. This will
burden the government with the duty
of tracing these articles into eonsump-
ton to be assured that they are used
on ships if free entry is claimed.
AS China, glassware and similar
articles for ships are entitled to free
entry because they are part of a YES
sells equipment, treasury officials are
baffied to determine whether such
materials, if they are broken, can be
replaced again and again by foreign
importations without the payment OF
duty. 1t has been tentatively decided
that only the first equipment of a
vessel with these articles can be
brought in free. Seldom has Congress
enacted law, treasury officials claim,
containing so many important customs
problems. This law, which is a part
of the Panama canal act. does not
permit vessel, fully constructed. to
come ip<free. but government officials
are undetermined whether the com
plete parts of a vessel knocked down,
may be imported without duty and set
up in this country. Such an interpre-
tation. it is pointed out, would be a
blow at American shipbuilding.
At first it was thought that food
coal, oil, wines and the like for use
on shipboard might claim free entry
but it has now been decided that these
are supplies and entirely outside that
intent of the law.
