MILLIONS OF GALLONS
OF OIL FOR FAR EAST

Many million gallons of kerosene
oil are en- route from the southern
coast of the United States to the Far
East in the British tankers Natica
and Cassis, which yesterday visited
Honolulu for fuel.
The Natica from Port Arthur. Texas,
was brought into the harbor Sunday
evening. Capt. r. w. Thompson re-
ported steaming from Great Britain
early in April The vessel was sup
piled with about 5000 tons of oil. 1t
received minor repairs to machinery
here and proceeded to the Orient.
AS the Natica passed through the
channel the sister ship Cassis, with
an equal amount of oil, was brought
to Pier II to take 400 tons of oil as
fuel, preparatory to steaming to Yo'
kOhama last evening

Remember the stories YOU used to read when
YOU were a boy-thoSe famous stories about the
whalerS? Remember the thrill you used to get
when YOU read about the old captain OF the sailing
ship, and how the lookout on the toremaSt when he
sighted whale Spouting would cry down to the
deck, Char she blowSw And how the whale
boat would be got cut with the mate in the bow
posing his harpoon, with the long line coiled in
the bow and ready to run out freely when the whale

sometimes the maddened and frightened whale
would come up under the boat, capSZing the crew
into the water'

Whaling in our Alaskan waters is now con-
siderable industry, we hear Altho there are some
intermittent efforts by old-time sailing vessels, the
industry as now organized is confined to two shore
stations with steam vessels operating from them.
The old-time whaers making their catch at sea,
use only the oil and whaebone, the entire carcass
being wasted. At the shore stations, however,
every part OF the carcass is utilized, the products

Aust, girl still in her teens and a
native of Bochum- When the war
broke out. Miss Aust. like many other
girls, experienced the desire to join
the Red Cross. She knew her parents
would object, so she obtained permis-
sion of them to visit relatives at
Muenster, but instead of proceeding
there she went to a Red Cross training
home and was soon drafted to the
eastern front as a nurse. There her
bravery on the battleffeldS of Poland,
where she tended the wounded under
fire. attracted attention from her SUI
periors, who reported instances of her
courage to Field Marshal Won linden
burg. The commander-fn-chief there
upon decided to award her the Iron

blouse. A short time afterward Miss

and all our glass came shattering
down. Whiz-bang! Another, and an
other, and yet another. Just then the
Belgian doctor came in and told us we
had better go into the cellar. We went
down into the cold, damp cellar and
stood about on bits OF wood and coal,
bang and crash of big shells. The
noise was pretty near, deafening. and
they must have pumped in about 100.
Out Of all that lot luckily we only got
two wounded men-a priest, wounded
by flying bit in the face, and SOL

that day the trenches opposite our
house were not occupied or there
would have been many killed and

FEW FOLKS
HAVE GRAY
HAIR NOW
Well known local druggist says every
body is using oliltime recipe OF
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses. its color and lustre.
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful.
and thousands Of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is SO attrac-
tive. use only this oldtime recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for a
5O-cent bottle Of ''Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair SO naturally, SO evenly. that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. Besides. it takes off dan
druff. stops scalp itching and falling
hair. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through you rhair, taking one small
strand at a time. By morning the gray
hair disappears; but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
is that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after a few applications. it
also brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives it an appearance OF album
dance.-Adv.
