thur c. Oaks. and would have support

ease had be refrained from offering her
physical violence.

job and make her own living. This she
did, and in addition usually provided
her husband with money This, she
said, gave her joy. and her married life
was one of the happiest until Oaks
grew cold and cruel.
She maintained that on several occa-
sions her husband struck her. and on
one occasion kicked her viciously for
disputing an assertion he had made.

Fashion Rules in Arabia as Does in Atlanta

and live, if my husbands duties could
only bring him here
Mrs. Brett declared that she was un
alterably for suffrage, although she did
not think that this question would ever
be disturbing factor in Arabia. "Of
course, women who pay taxes on prop
erty ought to have a voice in making
the laws that govern Them" she said.
why should they be governed by men
who pay only percentage of the taxes
and whose judgment is not always of
the best? Most women have more
sense, anyway"
Two male visitors at the Duffy home
started to go, but Mrs. Brett exclaimed:
Nov, 1 didn't mean it that way. Men
should, of course, be looked to on the
big problems with which woman is not
familiar. l shouldn't care to vote, but
l think all qualified women who want
to vote should be given the privilege,
even though lots of women might vote
with their husbands and lots of hus-
bands with their wives"

Mrs. Brett showed books of pictures
with Arabian scenes, and exhibited two
heavy solid gold bracelets fashioned by
hand. The Arabian nights are unusu-
ally warm, declared Mrs. Brett the

feminine is -pervading, whether dis
played in the olive groves Of old Ara
b1a or the asphalted streets of At

borne today by Mrs Homer Brett. wife
OF one of the American consuls to Ara
bia and former Atlanta girl visiting
in the city.

en- have bigger feet, asks Mrs. Brett

blown cuticle of the Georgia girl; if the
beauties of Mahomet's land wear much
fewer clothes; if they would not recog-

them?
They reveal their kinship on the all
important feminine topic of fashions

No Suffragettes.
There is one difference, however, she
explained. Suffrage does not bother the
Arabians.
Far from heaving bricks and cab
bages at the sultan, they go into re-
| tirement and are rarely seen, although
| seeing forth from lattice porches all the
while. The sultan keeps a harem OF
four women who seldom appear in So
ciety or on the streets, although the
curiosity of visitors and natives Is
great.

Says Sage and Sulphur Dark
ems Hair Beautifully and
Ends Dandruff.

Hair that loses its color and luster,
or when 1t fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair, says a well known local
pharmacist. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and even today this sim
ple preparation has no equal. Mil
lions of women and men, too, who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only Sage Tea and Sui
phur.
Nowadays we are not bothered
with the task of gathering the sage
leaves and the mussy mixing at home.

URGING LABOR REPRESENT NTATlvE
 ON NAVAL BOARD

Washington, July 9-Navy yard la Dor problems, especially the question of civilian representation on the va -i- ous wage boards. were subjects set for extended discussion at a confer ence today between Secretary Dan- dels., Assistant Secretary Roosevelt and the commandants of Atlantic Coast yards.
 Secretary Daniels at the conclusion of rec snt conference with 200 yard employees announced that he favored the granting Of the civilian represen- tatfon on the wage boards.
 The grant long has been as yigor- ously opposed by many commandants as it has been sought by the ern- pIoyes.
 The connmandants contend that no means could be devised for appoint ing a labor representative who would be satisfactory to the various employees in each yard: that a civilian represen- tat1ve would be partial to the demands of his particular craft, and that the result would be increased discontent among other employees. MT. Daniels has been sympa thizing with the ern- p1oyes ever since they represented to him that their claims could not re-

Phillips Takes Case Of Chauffeur Russell
 Under AdvISement

Hartford, July 9.-What Secretary of the State Albert Phillips considers one of the most important automobile cases before him this year was heard at the Capitol yesterday afternoon. In involves J. H. Russell of Bridgeport, who, the secretary thinks, aided and abetted one VogeI in the forcefuI and wicked taking away of a certain valu- able suitcase belonging to one Max H. Blumberg of Bridgeport. The suit case contained clothing belonging to Blum berg, which the latter says was worth $75.
 MT. Phillips said at the hearing that he will do everything in his pow CT to stop criminal actions among chauffeurs, lest the fair state of Con- necticut should suffer from the evils that beset New York through the ac- tions of wicked chauffeurs,4 who pros- titute their honorable calling to the uses of crime.
 Blumberg. who testified at the hear ing, said that Russell was the chauf- feur of a car in which VogeI travelled from Bridgeport to Stamford. Vogel started out of the BIumberg residence and got into the car driven by Rus sell. Voge1 had with him the suit case, which Blumberg recognized as his own. Plumbers told VogeI to stop, but the latter said that the formers s mother had told him he could have the bag. Before B1umberg could call up his mother and find out if this was true, Russell had cranked the car and was speeding off towards old Broad way. B1umberg followed with a Bridgeport police official and VogeI was arrested in Stanford
 The secretary was informed of the affair and on June 30 suspended Rus sells license. The latter, MT. Phillips says. neglected to send in his license card for several days and also wrote to the secretary that he would refuse to return the license upon the advice of counsel The secretary of the state reserved decision.
 Secretary of the State Albert Phil lips yesterday afternoon announced his findings in five autom obile accident cases, upon which hearings were re- gently held.
 The drivers license of George Hos ford of Orange was suspended until August 8. In February Hosford drove his car past 3, trolley car on Meadow street in New Haven, when the car stopped to discharge passengers. He hit one of the alighting passengers The secretary considers that he was 9&riving reck1essly.
 The drivers license of Anthony c. Andrews of Stonington was suspended until such time as hex can demonstrate to the department that he is able to operate a motor vehicle properly Mr. Phillips says that, before Andrews ob- tained his license. he had not operated a motor vehicle upon a public highway a sufficient number of miles
 The drivers license of John Reid is suspended indefinitely and the license held by Michael McNamara is sus- pended until July 22.
 Tn the case of Herbert Futile, the secretary does not think that the evil dence justif1es a suspension of the Ii- cense.

 Washington, July e-A lively fight, which probably will be taken to con gress. is expected by Washington in the case of Captain Templfn M Potts, who was retired compulsory on July 1 by the .stp1uckfng board" and relieved from command Of sae battIeship Louisiana. The case of Captain Potts is unique. His being plueked is the direct result of a new ruling by Sec retary Daniels before the latter had been in the cabinet three weeks. Sec retary Daniels on March 24 refused to grant Captain Potts his promotion to be rear admiral. The secretary held that the ten months sea service which Captain Potts had had as a. captain in the navy was not sufficient to con vince the secretary of his fitness for the duties Of a rear admiral. Accord ingly, with Commander Philip An drews, the captain was denied promo ton. though both officers had passed the necessary examination and, e1- cept for the secrstary's unusual ruling, would have been advanced one grade. Had Captain Potts been permitted to have the rank of rear admiral he would have been beyond the province of the plucking board. Many of Captain Potts friends declare that the action of the plucking board was a deliberate persecution.
