AN OLD RECIPE
TODARKENHAIR
Common garden Sage and Sulphur
makes strcaked, faded or gray
hair dark and youthful at once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. 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 Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bot
tie of this old time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients
for about so cents. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell tha+ you darkened
your hair as it does it so naturally and
evenly. Yet 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 dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark. thick and glossy and you look
years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound is delightful toilet
requisite. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention Of dis
ease.-Advertiseme

PUT ON BRAKES!
Cautions Congress Against War
Hysteria.
Senate Gives Wilson Mexican
Policy Approval.

Washington, March 17.-While the
house was debating the army bill the
final draft of the senate army bill was
favorably reported by Chairman
Chamberlain. Senator McCumber Re-
publican, of North Dakota, made
speech urging the country not to be
swayed from a middle course between
war hysteria and utter defenseless-
ness. He commended the United States
was in less danger OF attack than ever
before.
I Congress, in its growing servilIty,
he said, has allowed its function to
be usurped by the executive until it
has become the tool to convert presl-
Dental programs into law. Congress
should be the judge of the necessity
and of the propriety of changing our
historical attitude"
LaFolIette Introduces 1t.
Senator LaFollette, Republican, to-
day introduced and the senate adopted
without opposition, the resolution APP
proving President Wilson's course in
sending a punitive expedition to Mex
leo and assuring the Mexican people
further that the object OF. the eXped1-
ton was merely punitive.
The Mexican situation was discussed
very fully at today's cabinet meeting
and Secretary Baker, read reports re-
ceived from General Funston. Cabi-
net members agreed that danger of
serious clashes with the Carranza
troops probably had passed.

ALFALFA BILL SCORES
ARBITRATION PLANS
Brands Carnegie Peace Foundation as
Pernicious and Denounces Pro-

A spirited controversy over the ad-
vantages and disadvantages OF arbitra-
ton and the regulation of world affairs
by an international tribunal was stirred
up in the House Of Representatives yes
terday by Representative Barnhart, of
Indiana.
Mr.. Barnhart introduced a resolution
advocating the establishment OF an in
ternational tribunal with power to en-
force its DEGREES and authorizing the
President to call a world conference to
consider the limitation Of armament.
This called forth vehement denunciation
OF the idea from Representative alfalfa
Bid Murray. OF Oklahoma, who Incl
dentally asserted that the most perni-
cious OF institutions was the Carnegie
Peace Foundation.

Wind TUNNEL TESTS
FLYING CONDITIONS
Smithsonian Publishes Report of In

The Smithsonian institution has Just
issued an illustrated pamphlet contain
Ing a series OF technical reports on ex-
periments recently conducted in the wind
tunnel for serodynamics at the Mas
sachusetts Institute Of Technology, at
Boston, Mass.
In writing Of this wind tunnel itself.
J. C. Hunsaker. assistant naval con-
structor, U. s. N, and Instructor OF
aeronautics at the institute. says that
since 1t Is difficult to carry on full scale
experiments to investigate the aero
dynamical characteristics OF a proposed
aircraft design, tests are made on small
models. as in naval architecture. The
experiments are further sImplined by
holding the models stationary in an
artificial current Of air with a maximum
wind speed from thirty-four to forty
miles an hour.
After a study of the principal aerody-
namical laboratories of Europe, II was
decided TO reproduce at Boston the four
foot diameter wind tunnel of the Ma
tional Physical Laboratory Of Tedding-
ton, England. together with the aerody-
namical balance and instruments used
there for measuring velocity.
]. c. Hunsaker discusses stability OF
steering of a dirigible. citing some OF his
experimental tests with a wooden model
Of a dirigible hull fitted with rudders
and fms in accordance with the regular
practice. It Is now possible to base the
design OF fin and rudder area upon his
data instead Of rule OF thumb" His
experiments proved the Importance of a
vertical rudder. but II was found impos-
sible in practice TO give sufficient vertical
fin area to hold the ship on its course
without the use OF the helm.
Swept-back wings are discussed by
Messrs Rossell and Brand, who main
tain that with a sweep back Of 10 de-
grees an appreciable rfghting moment
may be expected. Messrs. Hunsaker and
Douglas experimental with dihedral angle
wings, and maintain that they afford bet
ter results than the swept-back wings.
Attention is called to the fact that the

Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution,

among the experts of the War Depart
ment and among representatives here OF
the various national defense organiza-
tions was one of gloomy forebodins
Admitting that the President had gained
strength in Congress by his course, they
frankly deplored the result as marking
not only the defeat of the only scheme
ever laid before Congress for the crea-
ton Of q Federal reserve army, but as
surrender to political pressure for a
system that they contend is inherently
weak and notoriously inefficient.
Although members Of the House yes
terday were very generally disposed to
regret Mr.. Garrison's resignation because
of their personal regard for him, there
was no attempt to conceal the fact that
they took no small measure OF satisfac-
ton over the apparent victory of the
legislative branch in bringing about the
rejection of the continental army scheme
by the administration.
The controversy was brought up on the
floor OF the House by Representative
Barnhart, OF Indiana, in connection with
a resolution he introduced proposing the
establishment of a world court to settle
international disputes. Mr.. Barnhart in
cidentally commended the Presidents ac-
ceptance Of Mr.. Garrison's resignation as
a declaration against militarism. Repre-
sentative Gardner, Of Massachusetts,, the
chief advocate of preparedness, came to
the defense of the former Secretary of
War.
Representative Kitchin, majority leader
of the House, said:
ut is very unfortunate that Secretary
Garrison should have resigned. l regard
him as one OF the strongest men in the
Cabinet. However. the President realized
that Congress would not agree to the
continental army plan and that 1t would
be futile to fight 1t. Secretary Garrison
wanted to keep on fighting for it"
The resignation shows" said Repre-
sentative Campbell, of Kansas, that Sec
retary Garrison does not believe that the
President was sincere In what he naid
on his Western trip about the need of a
continental army"
Representative Bailey. Of Pennsylvania,
leader, said:
MI. Garrison didn't resisn soon enough.
Hs did It gracefully but too lsts."
