ANSWER TO HOUSE.
Friend of Billiard Says AeropIane
Flight Was Appreciated by Crowd.

To Editor State Journal: 80
| In the morning paper the honorable
mayor takes a shot at L. Phillip Bill
lard for interfering with the baseball
game yesterday afternoon. The
mayors comment is nice, in that he
devoted about five lines to my friend
BILLIARDS. exhibition which he said was
good one, only carried TOO far. OF
course 1 am prejudiced in favor of
the air sport and am proba bly, not a
fair judge, but 1 feel that most any
good athlete can play baseball, some
good and others not so we'll, but who,
among the thousands at the baseball
park yesterday afternoon, would dare
do what Billiard did? Every man 7
have talked with this morning tells
me the Billiard exhibition was a hun
dredfold more exciting than the base
ball exhibition and was enjoyed i'm
mensely by the large crowd of fans.
Surprising the mayor is right about
the machine in the air having inter-
fered with the ball game. Who is
kicking but the mayor? Did the
mayor ever stop to consider what it
would cost the baseball management
to hire a .flier to do what Billiard did
for the crowd gathered at yesterdays
game? Any airman would laugh at
$500 and Billiard would not make a
flight for money. He simply donated
one of the best exhibitions Topeka
mas had in many, many months; yes,
years. He did not hire the TAYLOR
tract north of Garfield park, and
bring all the soldiers from Fort Riley
down here to force everyone to pay a
dollar to see him fly. And our local
airman makes flights which would
make professional men look like silly
novices, too. He flies for his own per-
sonal pleasure and not for profit, as is
we'll known, and cares nothing about
nOtOriety, in fact, reSentS it, and would
not thank me for this story OF yester-
days flight. but I cannot resist ap-
pealing for fair play. Billiard made
three flights yesterday, the first con-
Stunning practically thirty minutes and
taking him from his field southeast of
the city to the ball park and on in to
Tenth and Madison streets. The sec
ond flight was much longer ard took
the local airman over the city and
miles from the state house, thence
back over about the same course and
back to his field where the second
landing was made. He did not land
his machine in a position satisfactory
him and while he had finished flying
for the day he made third flight
for the sole purpose Of bringing the
machine closer tc his hangar to save
his assistants the labor of pushing it
half the length of the field. In this
third and last flight he showed his
wonderful ability TO a very marked
chine to within fifteen feet of the
hangar with the apparent ease of a
man riding an ordinary bicycle. I
am very enthusiastic about the won
derfu1 free exhibitions we are permit
ted to enjoy but l feel that every To- |
pekan should feel the same way and |
that instead of entering a gentle kick |
as was done this morning, we should |
all boost for Phil and thank him for |
the thrills he gives us instead of |
tcuSSing' him for muSSing up g base |
ball game. Il

BE PRETTY!
TURN GRAY
HAIR DARK
Look young! Nobody can tell if you
use Grandmother's simple recipe
of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
luster to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray; also ends dandruff,
itching scalp and stops falling hair.
Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays, by asking at any drug
store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound you will get a large bot
tie of this famous old recipe for about
so cents.
Don't st..y gray! Try it, No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glosSy.-Adv.
