Prominent Jews Praise
Franks COmmutatOn

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Governor Slaton has done
honor to himself. to the State of Geor-
gia and to the whole people OF the
United States by committing the sem
tence of Leo Frank. Many judges.
lawyers. public men and hundreds OF
thousands Of citizens Of the United
States believe that Frank did not have
u fair trial, and there can be no doubt
but that his original trial and con-
demnation in the press of Atlanta in
fuenced the minds of the people and
through them of the court.
1t gives one a sense Of ultimate re-
lief in divine and human justice to
know that there was a man so brave
as Governor Slaton to set aside this
improperly aroused and misdirected
public opinion. and to do what Frank
and his counsel asks: not 10 pardon
him. bu. 10 commute his sentence to
life IMPRISONMENT. so that this man
who has not vet had his dav in court
may have chance at least TO prove
his innocence of the horrible murder
which all men condemn.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.


Sir: The action Of Governor Slaton
was demanded by the most ordinary
sense Of duty to Justice. to humanity
and to law. Naturally. he would not
be entitled to commentator for do
ing that which he ought to have done.
nor would a man Of his stamp expect
or desire such commentator. When.
however, we reflect that the trial Judge
at Atlanta. the Supreme Court Of Geor-
gia and the Pardon Commission of the
state all finched in terror Of something,
we are justified in expressing admira-
ton for a man who could not be daunt-
ed by the terrorism which affected so
many.
When. too. we reflect that only two
justices of the Supreme Court Of the
United States could see that state
rights were not trenched upon IL con-
viction by mob law were declared to
be an infringement Of the rights Of a
citizen Of the United States. our appre-
citation Of the spirit and dignity OF
Governor Slaton is heightened.
All honor to the brave Governor.
who has In a measure redeemed the
honor Of the State Of Georgia.

Lake Placid, n. Y, June 21.-Dr.
Stephen s. Wise, rabbi of the Free
Synagogue, New York, at his camp
here tonight said:
Georgia is TO be congratulated upon
the fearless action OF Governor Slaton,
which does nothing more than bear
out the doubts of the trial judge and
two members of the United States Su-
preme Court. For my part, | rejoice
as much for Georgia's sake as for the
sake Of Frank. The Governor Of
Georgia will find himself sustained by
the best judgment of the nation and
ultimately by the grateful approval of
his own state"

In his statement exhaustively ex-
planning his -easons for committing
Franks sentence, Governor Slaton re-
viewed the circumstances surrounding
the murder OF Mary Phagan in the Ma
tional Pencil Factory here, on April 20,
1918, the conviction OF Frank and his
appeal for clemency:

A cause of fan hreakage that is fan when it is considerably out of balance, which results in setting up stresses that the sheet metal often will rot withstand. If a fan does not turn true it should be made to do so by bending back into position the blade that has been bent or bringing the circumferential wire or and into shape if it has been distorted. Often a fast-running fan, if much out of balance will set up a noticeable vi- bratiOn of it's own, which is hard on the fan bearings as well as the fan itself.
 Any garage, whether public or pri- Vate, should be equipped with a chemical fire extineuisher. Sand also i@ servicea ble in case of fire. It is not unusual for a carburetor to catch fire for no apparent reason, and should sand be used to oxtinguish the fire a lot of unnecessary work is entailed. The chemical extinguisher will pro- drce better results and avoid unneces- s1ry Ia Dor after the fire has been ex- tinguished. It is we'll to note that 8 chemical fire extinguisher should be kept freshly charged.
 Most modern cars are equipped with a dual system of ignition. Dry cells are used for starting. It is we'll to note that during cold weather dry cells are less efficient than during the warm weather. It is advisable to couple up one or two additional cells during the winter season.

UNCLEAN SOD PANS.

Some automobile fires are caused by neglect to clean the machine careful ly. In one instance what might have been a disastrous fire was caused by not keeping the sod pan clean, says Popular Mechanics. While cranling the motor a backtire ignited the oil in the sod pan, and great damage was avoided only by the quick action of the garage owners. It was apparent that the owner had not cleaned the sod pan for several months, and the accumulation was so great that it easily produced large flame. It is we'll to clean out the oil dripping frequently.

 The Cadillac company in the de- livery of cars were a little behind at the beginning of the season, due to the many changes made necessary at

GRAY HAIR BECOMES

Look years younger! Try Grandma s recipe of Sage and Sulphur
 and nobody will know.

Almo most everyone knows that Sago Tea and Sulphur properly com pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops fall ing hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trouble some.
 Nowadays We simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" You will get a large bottle for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this o1d famous recipe, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair as it does it 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 another application or two. your hair becomes beautifully dark. thick and glossy and you look years yOungos
