A woman who likes to know things
was considering insects-on pins.
OF the 5000 species of creatures that
fly, crawl. swim and buzz within
twenty miles of US there are 500 over

Most of them are old acquaintances
of childhood land: For one, there is
that ferocious black beetle. the one
Nanny called COW bug-that used
to drone through the open window
when you were in bed, down on the
farm. and bump with blind foolishness
against the wall until he fell on his
back and couldn't help himself.
Your friend, the snake-waiter, and
every other dragon fly you chased
across swamp is present on pins-all
of them with outstretched wings of
bluey-green chiffon-as if they were
airships-onIy there were none in your
way-back day.
That June bug is the identical chap.

a string to make him sing-and you
recognize the bulge-eyed locust that
chay-chayed in the twilight to let you
know that hot weather was good for
growing corn.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy. +.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
,ustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed 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 We simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get q large bot
cit for about 80 cents. Everybody
uses this old. famous recipe. because
no one can possibly tell that you dark
ened your hair, as It does 4 so nat
urally and evenly. You dampen q
sponge or soft brush with It and draw
this through your hair. taking one
small strand at 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 younger.

Order, Which Has Been Long Awaited.

To-day at Springfield.

Springfield, H., May 1.-The state
public utilities commission made pub
lie today an order declaring that some
50 individuals in Rock Island and Mo-
line. Ill, were operating automobiles
on fixed schedules for the handling Of
general passenger traffic and were
therefore public utilities.
The offending owners were ordered
to suspend operation of the jitney
buses until they possess certificates
of convenience and necessity from the
commission. 1t was said at the offices
of the commission that it was very IN
likely that the automobile men would
apply for the certificates. In two cases
exceptions were made because the
owners and operators Of the automo-
biles had been doing similar business
since a date prior to the creation OF
the commission.

Death Blow TO Jitneys.

Decision of the state utilities com
mission holding jitneys to be public
utilities. is a death blow to the bust
ness in Rock Island and Moline. Those
in a position to know have long been
of the opinion that those operating the
machines could not comply with the
conditions which would necessarily be
imposed. if they were required to come
under the provisions of the state COM
mission.
1t is declared that the chief difficulty
will be in securing the certificate OF
convenience and necessity which is re-
CURED in order to operate. c. S. Rob
erts Of counsel for the jitney men de-
clared some time ago that if the com
mission held that the drivers were op-
Grating a public utility, it would prac-
tically mean dissolution of the bust
ness.
The ruling is taken to mean that all
of the conditions under which the
autos operate will be imposed by the
state commission, the matter being
taken entirely out of the hands OF the
city commission. Pending the decision,
the city of Rock Island has not at
tempted to enforce the provisions OF
its jitney ordinance while Moline has

J. D. Forsythe, smooth check man,
who was indicted for confidence game
several months ago, appeared in cir
cult court this morning and pleaded
guilty. He was accompanied by his
wife and counsel T. P. Sinnett.
Mr.. Sinnett made plea for leniency
and stated to the court that $40 of the
SIS which he secured on bogus checks
had been repaid. States Attorney f.
E. Thompson recommended the re-
lease of the defendant to the proba-
ton officer, and Judge W. T. Church
announced that this would be done as
soon as Probation Officer W. A. Gold
en- filed formal report recommending
the same, which it is expected will be
done within few days.
Forsythe passed bad checks on the
Hotel Harms and c. n. Isaacson. The
court gave the defendant a straight
from-the-shoulder talk and plainly in
formed him that the first break in the
provisions of the parole would mean
the penltentlary Tor MIN.
Gets 10 Days.
Another defendant to ask for anoth-
er chance was w. c. Mason, who
pleaded guilty to petty larceny and
was given 10 days in the county jail
and fined 81 and costs. Mason was
charged with stealing pay check for
SIS, on Feb. 4, 1915, from L. Whitley
agent at the Rock Island Southern

Whitley, cashed the same at the sa-
