We are indebted to Mrs. w. w. Glenn,
of Venice, Cal, for a clipping from the
Los Angeles Evening Herald which ex-
plains how the women of that State
won the victory for Woodrow Wilson.
Miss Mary Foy was at the head of the
organization of women voters and
planned their methods of political eff
fort. The men realized they could not
win without the help of the women and
both worked together. Mrs. Glenn
formerly lived here. She voted for
Woodrow Wilson at Venice, CAL, and
says there was nothing but dignity and
order at her voting precinct. Mr. and
Mrs. Glenn visited relatives here some
months ago and told US many interest
ing things about Los Angeles which
must be one of the best towns in the
world to live in.

A Notable DAYS Work,

Robert Burns composed his master
piece, Tam O. Shanter," in one day in
the open air. Burns went out Of the
house in the morning and, not return
ing, his wife joined him in the after
noon with her two children. Seeing
that he was Grooming to himself" she
forebore to interrupt him, but stayed
in the fields at a distance, where she
could see him. She observed him wild
ly gesticulating and at times fairly
leaping with joy. She said to Allan
Cunningham, the poet, after her hus-
bands death, II visit ye had seen
him; he was in such ecstasy that the
tears were mapping down his checks"
He committed the poem to writing by
the riverside and went into the house
and read it to his wife at the fireside
with great triumph-oDe Of the most
notable days work ever done in Scot,

HARDNESS OF A DIAMOND.
Pressed Between Steel Rails the Gem
Would Sink Into the Metal.

1t is difficult for one not intimately
acquainted with the brilliant and spar
king gems to realize just how hard
diamond may be.
a carpenter runs his plane over a
piece of wood and out come the pretty
curly shavings. Now. If a plane is
made with q diamond blade instead of
a steei blade and the blade is set just
right the plane when run over glass
will turn out fine, thinnest shavings
something like those made by a plane
on wood.
This gives some idea of the wonder
full hardness OF diamond, yet there is
something harder than a diamond. 1t
is another diamond or even the same
diamond, for a diamond may be extra
hard in one part and not so hard as il
ought 10 be in another part.
The Kohinoor diamond was in places
so hard the cutters feared they might
have TO give up work on it. Other
parts Of the stone were soft, II you
could say any diamond is soft
If diamond is placed between the
ends of two heaviest steel railroad rails
and then by hydraulic pressure the
rails are forced closer together and then
still closer until they touch, the dia-
mond will sink right into the steel al.
most like a key forced into beeswaI.-

SACE.TEA WILL
.DARKEN The HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural Color--Dandruffl
Quickly Removed

There is nothing new about the idea of
using Sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair
dark, glossy and abundant by the use of
q simple ''Sage Tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on dull, faded or
streaked appearance, they made brew
of Sage leaves, and applied it to their
hair with wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
the old-time tiresome method of gather
ing the herbs and making the tea. This
is done by skillful chemists better than
we could do it ourselves; and all we
have to do is to call for the ready-made
product, Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, containing Sage in the
proper strength, with the addition of
Sulphur, another old-t time scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful color
and beauty to the hair, and is one of
the best remedies you can use for dan
druff, dry, feverish, itching scalp, and
falling hair. Get a fifty cent bottle
from your druggist today, and you will
be surprised at the quick results. All
druggists sell it, under guarantee that
the money will be refunded if the
remedy is not exactly as represented.

Kai, were unnecessarily numerous, and
the ministry of war had been in
structed to reduce the number.
Religious liberty would be guaran-
teed.
President Yuan deplored the lack of
public spirit, of moral training among
soldiers and of communications.
In conclusion, the president prom
ised implicit observance Of all treaties
and that all engagements would be
speedily met. The retention of exter-
mel friendships was necessary to the
existence of China. The attitude of
foreign powers in recent years, the
president said, had been such as to
merit the gratitude of the nation. The
people themselves should rejoice over
the establishment of a republic after
thousands of years of despotism.

capital was essential to China, and the
government was drafting the princi-
pies of a financial reform. 1t was ne
gotiating with the powers for an in
crease of the customs duties and the
abolition of the hkin or transit taxes
and the reduction of the export taxes
BY such means the income from the
maritime and native taxes would be
increased to $42, 100000 from the pres
ent total OF $3O,SOO,OOO. The increase.
he said, would suffice to pay for the
amortization of the foreign loans.
Pending the big loan the govern
ment, he said, would issue short time
treasury bonds.
President Yuan recommended plans
for tightening the burden of the peo-
pie, for proper survey of lands, for a
new scale OF taxation, for a unified
system of currency and for standard
weights and measures. He recon-
mended the employment of expert
! foreigners at the finance ministry to
ensure a correct budget and proper
accounting.
With the establishment of the repub.
lie industrial development had become
of the first importance, said the presi
dent. Ministeries of forestry, industry
and commerce would be established tc
encourage and subsidize industries
and to educate students. The mining
laws, too, must be reformed and com
mercial laws adopted and enforced.

ASTOR WILL PROVIDES
FOR HIS FORMER WIFE

New York, May 2.-Reports thar
John Jacob Astor, who persisted in the
sinking of the Titanic, had made no
will since his marriage to Miss Mad
eleine Talmage Force and that he
made NO provision either for Mrs. Ava
Willing Astor, his first wife, or for
Mrs. John Jacob Aston, his second
wife, were denied by a representa-
tive of the estate.
On the contrary, it was learned that
Colonel Astor did make a will, in
which he provided not only for his
first and second wives, but for the chill
dren. Under this will William Vim
cent Aston, who is not yet q years
old, will inherit the bulk of the great
Astor estate, which is conserVatively
estimated at 15O,00O,000.
1t was learned from a source of I'M
questioned authority that both Mrs.
Madeleine Force AstOr and Mrs. Ava
Willing Astor and the children have
been provided for under the will,
which it is now expected will be read
next week, after the burial of John
Jacob Aston, whose body was
brought to Halifax on board the ca
BILE steamship Mackey-Bennett.
John Jacob Astor had two children
! by his first wife, William Vincent AS
tor and Miss Muriel Astor, the 1O-year
old girl who is now returning from
England to New York with her moth
er, Mrs. Ava Willing Aston Provision
it is stated, has been made for Miss
Muriel Astor, and from the statement
that AL the children have been pro
vided for" it is assumed that the ex
pected posthumous child also is men
toned in Colonel Astor's Will as al
heir to a share in his millions.

ity, honor. patriotism. truth-these are
increasingly found in both the serious
pursuits and the play life of our Amer
lean undergraduates. The department
in which these ideals are sought is not
so important as the certainty that the
student is forming such ideals of thor
oughness and perfection.
Furthermore, the standards of morals
and conduct among the American un-
dergraduates are percepdbly higher
than they were fifty years ago. There
is a very real tendency in the line of
doing away with such celebrations as
have been connected with drinking and
immoralities. To be sure, one will al
ways find students who are often
worse for their bacchic associations,
and one must always keep in mind
that the college is on earth and not in
heaven. But a comparison Of student
customs today with those Of fifty years
ago gives cause for encoura gement--

Senator Jacob H GaIlinger led the
Taft forces to victory in the recent
New Hampshire primaries. 1t was
by no means Gallinger's first victory.
He hasn't known defeat since he ran
for Congress way back in the eight
les. He was a member of the lower
House two terLls; then the New
Hampshire le Eislature gave him a
seat in the United States Senate.
There he has remained for twenty
one years. I'd by reason Of his abil-
ity and long service is now one of
the most powerful members of the
higher chamber. Senator Gallinger
was born on a farm in Ontario, Can
ada, in 1887. He studied medicine
and wa gradu- ed in 1858. Coming
to the United States. he soon entered
the political arena and abandoned
medicine.
