SENATOR WEEKS
is OPPOSED TO THE
ARMOR PLATE BILL

Washington, March Ex-senator Weeks.
Republican. OF Massac cfusetts, opposing
the bill for government manufacture of
armcr plate in a speech to the Senate to-
day declared the speculative and uncer-
tain character of dealings with the gov
ernment justified and compelled the high
prices demanded by manufacturers.
II am informed said Senate: Weeks,
that representatives of the manufacture,
ers offered to permit expert accountants
to examine their books and plants and
report actual facts, providing this infor
nation were not made public. No bust
ness man will fail to recognize the fair
ness of this.
Relations which. in my opinion. should
exist between the government and the
armor manufacturers are similar to those
which should exist in all cases where the
government has dealings with it's own
citizens. To attack them, to attempt to
destroy their business and to put itself
into competition with them is without
precedent abroad and without excuse any
where. Such a policy will bring nothing
but disaster"

preparation, improved by the addition
Of other ingredients. which can be de-

and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says It darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has

sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at . time. By morning the
gray hair disappears. and after another
application or two, it becomes beauti-
