up in an aerOp1ane.
According to official infor-
nation from the city hall the
chief executive of the city
was approached by Manager
Martin for Aviator Harvey
Crawford this morning with
an offer of an aerOplane ride
over the city today.
At first the mayor baked.
mo, 1 can't go up today"
he said.
"How aboaut tomorrow,
mayor?" asked Martin.
II don't like Sunday" re-
piled the mayor.
"Well, will Monday after
noon do?"
Settled" quickly respond
ed Seymour, "I'll go up with
Crawford Monday afternoon,
sure"
Several newspaper men
present at the conference
volunteered the information
that Crawford was expert
menting with a new machine
and that it was inclined to
stir up a fuss now and then,
and that it would probably
be a dangerous and risky
thing for Seymour to do.
"Well, I'd rather go up I'm
that machine than drink
Green river water,' argued
Seymour, and they all laugh

BY FRED l.. BOALT.

Now that I've been beauty
hunting some days it isn't easy
to rouse my enthusiasm. Mere
prettiness leaves me absolutely
cold. Ordinary loveliness does
not cause me to bat an eye. I
bring a matured and critical judg-
ment to the task.
L reasoned that lovely women
are, fond of personal adornment.
Ergo, where would ! be more la
Bile to find beautiful woman
than In millinery shop trying
on hats? So l went to the Peo-
Piles Store.
1 saw woman trying on hat
before mirror. Her back was to

Mayor Seymour was also called in. He thought
the investigation not likely to get at the bottom Of
the case
BY Monday it is quite possible Mills aud Loomis
will have been literally discouraged out of their
scheme by the public, which is treating the whole
thing as grandstand play and movement to white
wash the department for it's failure to do what the
county officials have stepped in and doing
Mills said this morning he would just as leave
have grand jury Loomis will probably agree to
this also.
But those who understand what it takes to get
evidence OF graft insist that grand jury would
probably not be able to get anywhere just after
any who might be in position of danger have had
ample opportunity to cover up any damaging evil
dence that might be around
Ex-Chief of Police Frazer this morning called
on Mills. He told the commissioner that nothing
less than grand jury would get anywhere, and he
admitted afterward was doubtful if this would do
much.
j. S. Ellsworth of the civil service board says
he will not appear before any tribunal formed by
Mills and Loomis and the preachers.
Mills admitted this morning that the statement
attributed to Ellsworth mputing graft to his admin
istration was no worse than much street talk
"Why, there have been graft charges ever since
have been in Office" said Mills
Apparently it never occurred to him before that
an investigation" was necessary.
Other city commissioners saying nothing
but the whole city hall is in broad smile at the
Mills-LoOmis probe, and the thing is the butt for
all city hall jokesmiths.

Mtile attempt was made to settle the
fight over the cotton futures tax SEN
ate conferees changed front and

adjusted as follows:
The House accepted the Senate rate
OF three-fourths cent a pound on lead
ore.

agreed to the dates fixed by the SEN
ate for wool rates to become effective:
Namely. wooden goods, January 1,
1914; raw wool. tops and waste. De-
cember /. 1916
The House receded from Its provi-
sions as to cotton threads yarns and
cloths, accepting Senate amendments.
which revised the schedules on new
basis of thread count.
President Takes Hand.
The final agreements were reached
late in the afternoon, after a day in
which President Wilson again had been
consulted by leaders OF both houses
and an effort made by each side to OBJ
tain further concessions.

the President, before tho latter part of
next week.

COMB sage TEA
into GRAY HAIR
DARkENS BEAUTIFULLY AND RE-
STORES ITS THICKNESS AND
LUSTRE AT OrCE.

Con mon garden sage brewed into
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luXuri-
ant; remove every bit of dandruff, stop
scalp itching and falling hair. Mixing
the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at
home, though, is troublesome. An
easier way is to get the ready-to-use
tonic, costing about so cents a large
bottle, at drug stores, known as "Wy-
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" "
thus avoiding a lot of muss.
While wispy gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one
can tell, because it does it so naturally
so evenly. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gra!
hairs have disappeared. After anoth
! err application or two your hair be
comes beautifully dark, glossy, sof
and luxuriant and you appear year
younger.
