BRYAN CLERK ACTS AS
PRESS AGENT FOR VILLA
Piographer Employed to Draw
Favorable Picture Of Mex.
lean Rebel Leader.

WASHINGTON. May Tho State De-
pense of having complied an authorised
biography OF Pancho villa, the Consti-
tutionaiist military chieftain Of northern
Mexico. This compilation was made for
the purpose OF informing Senators and
Representatives who may have some
doubts as to whether Gen. Villa meets tho
modern requirements of a peer and a
patriot.
Some OF the statesmen Of Capitol Hill
who have read this narrative say they
were informed that It was written by q
representative OF the State Department
under instructions no, to color II. but to
paint villa as he Is.
According to persons who have read the
biography Of the revolutionist 1t Is u much
more favorable picture OF him than that
drawn by Senator Fsi! recently In a
speech In the Senate. The biographer
claims for villa that he has meilowed
under the civilizing irfuences OF certain
Americans. notably Gen, Hugh l.. Scott,
who has had more influence apparently
with villa than almost any other person.
Gen. Scott, II IL said. has persuaded the
aggressive Constitutionalist that he could
not hope TO gain favor In the eye of CIV
iiizatlon by carrying out the methods OF
warfare he originally adopted.
The biographer OF villa. who undertook
the Job at the request OF the state De-
partment. has painted him as creature
OF environment who never killed anybody
except when lie was cornered and who
was a barbarian because of the conditions
under which he grew up

Hair Made Beautiful.

Beautiful hair, thick, fluffy, lustrous
and absolutely free from dandruff is
not so much gift Of nature as mat.
ter Of care and proper nourishment.
Hair is like a plaintiff will not grow
healthy and beautiful unless it has at
tention and proper nourishment
Partisan Sage, daintily perfumed and
easily applied, tones up and inyigor-
ates the roots OF the hair and furnishes
the necessary nourishment to not only
save and beautify the hair but also
stimulate it to grow long, heavy, soft,
fluffy and radiant with life.
When used frequently and rubbed
into the scalp, it win simply work won-
ders. Just one application stops itch
ing head, removes dandruff and cleanses
the hair Of all dust and excessive oil.
Since Partisan Sage, which can be OBJ
tanned from divers Red Cross prng

points, it is no longer necessary for any
woman to be Inundated because Of
