Gray Hair Made
Dark
If You Want to Darker 1t,
This Simple Formula Will
Do It Nicely.

There are few people in this world
who are satisfied with gray hair
when it appears in their own dark
locks. Most of us want to get rid
of It. and this simple recipe, which
can be readily made up at home. is
about the surest, most satisfying
means that could possibly be en-
ployed TO change the gray locks to
a soft, nice, glossy brown. To ozs.
of water add one small box of Barbo
Compound, one OF. of bay rum and
ne-fourth ounce of glycerine. Any
drug store can supply the ingre-
dents at little cost and you can do
your own mixing. Apply it to the
gray hair or beard once a week until
the desired dark shade is obtained,
then once every two weeks will be
sufficient. 1t is equally as merito-
rious for removing dandruff and
other ills of the scalp and for pro-
noting the growth of the hair. You
will be highly pleased when you
see how admirably this simple mix
ture will eradicate the traces Of
age in your hair and how free it is
from the Objectionable features of
the ordinary dyes, stains, etc.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Lying
on a cot in the Naval Academy Hos

of his 1.6OO-foot drop in an aero.
plane which resulted in the death 0.

ers' case is puzzling physicians, fo
while apparently but slightly inter.
naliy injured, his nerves are shat
tered. He is the only man on recor,
to tumble a quarter of a mile down
ward and live to tell the story.
Billingsley and Towers had at
tained an altitude of 1926 feet in
trying out hydroplane They hat
reached a spot about ten miles down
Chesapeake Bay when a sudden gus;
Of wind jerked the airship and threw
Billingsley over the steering gear. An
other jerk threw him from the ma
chine. He shot downward in the wa
ters of the bay,
Hold Fast to Machine.
Towers was thrown from his seat,
but held desperately to one of the
uprights. over and over the machine
turned, but his grip never loosened.
As the hydroplane struck the water
he was thrown free of the wreckage
and rose rapidly to the surface. He
was rescued by parties in a motor
boat
"Oh, 1t was horrible to see poor
Billy shooting downward" he moan
ed. I'VE were sailing nicely when a
sudden gust of wind threw him out
Of his seat, while another jerk sent
him completely away from it, There
was no chance to help him, it all hap
pened so quickly. The only thing
that saved me was the fact that had
a tight grip on one Of the uprights,
and when the plane jerked l locked
my grip.
I'VE shot downward at a terrific
rate, but poor Billy was topping over
and over and going downward even
faster than we were. 1t made me sick
to see him and know that he was
going to his death, and l almost lost
my grip. Before we had gone half the
distance to the water, the ship turned
completely over and braced itself for
a moment, only to shoot downward
at a greater pace. All l remember
of striking the water was a terrific
crash, of finding myself struggling to
get to the surface. 1t seemed a year
before / shot out above the surface,
and the gasp of breath took seemed
as if it would tear me to pieces.

Towers was ashen after his terribly
ing experience All indications are
that he is but slightly injured ply
sically, but 1t probably will be sew

resume their normal state. He is the
son of Mrs. Mary n. Towers, 10 Sew

the academy at Annapolis in 1902. In
19d1 he was assigned to the aviation

ederaI Jurist Believes Depart
ment of Justice Is Exceeding
Constitutional Authority.

MACON. June 2O.--Judge Emory
speer thinks that the probe now be-
lg made into his judicial record is
unconstitutional and is an improper
rocedure on the part of the Depart
aent of Justice. In discussing the
Hyestigation with Ben Persons and
: II. Walker, of Eastman, and other
attorneys in the United States Court
Dom, Judge Speer declared that he
MAS being Swallowed by detectives;
nat his home was watched, his every
aovement was followed. his office was
under constant observation, his WISH
ors were scrutinized, and. for all he
new. everything that he said was
card by the ears of secret service
men.
u am not even given the courtesy
hat is shown a common negro who
steals a ham," he declared.
The Judge said that he had been
tsked for no statement, and that the
nyestigation was instituted without
he matter having been taken up with
i'm.
Judge Speer further declared that if
[ should become the practice to have
FEDERAL judges investigated and
Jrobed at will by secret service men
and Department of Justice agents the
status of the judiciary would be Sc
riously impaired, since the judges
would be almost under the thumb of
the department or a man in Wash
ington.

To the paying tellers window Of the
bank came man asking payment on
a check.
"Iave you got anybody to identify
your" demanded the clerk.
The man was stumped.
Let me see the inside Of your hat"
demanded the clerk.
The man obeyed and the next mo-
ment found his money coming at him
through the grated window. AS he
said afterward, the strangest part of
it all was that he was wearing his
brothers hat though there were no
betraying initials in it.

If Mr.. Price has determined upon
this appointment. it will be a most
happy one, indeed. Dan Hughes Is
the son of Representative ''Dud"
Hughes, one of the most popular men
in Georgia and one OF the ablest
members of the Georgia Congression-
al delegation.
The younger Mr.. Hughes has the
reputation of being one of the very
best posted men in the State in the
matter of the farming interests and
his recent contributions to System"
and other magazines along that line
have attracted a great deal of attep-
tion throughout the country. He is
himself a successful farmer, and will
lend efficiency and dignity to the
Commissioner office. He is a South
, Georgian, rather modest and is ex-
tremely well liked wherever he Is
known.
