nections TO finance their efforts.
Transactions Were Legitimate
At the time these transactions were
put through there was no reason WY
American bankers and manufacturer
should not deal with Germans. inc
country was not at war, and the trans
actions generally were looked upon as
another manifestation OF German
thoroughness in making ready for tne
demand for materials which wouio
come when peace was declared
Only the declaration OF war put an
end to these more or less open pur'
chases. When the end came there were
warehouses bulging with suppiles tna'
the Allies were in need or, but WHICH
they were unable TO procure.
The stocks were not held IN the
name of tho German government or OF
any OF It's known departments. Inc
purchases were more often made IN
the name of corporations or indivld-
uals and in some cases IN the name
of banks, thus concealing the real
ownership. In thus making the title
a double object was secured-the eX-
tent TO which the imperial government
might be interested was concealed and
the probability Of the stuff being al
lowed to rest in idleness increased.

To Darker Hair
Apply Sage Tea
A few applications of Sage Tea and
Sulphur brings back its vigor,
color, gloss and youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark. and luxuriant. Just
few applications will prove a revela-
ton if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use. This is the old time
recipe improved by the addition OF
other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just damp
ell sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two,
your hair Becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is delightful toll
ct requisite and is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF
disease.

CENSOR CUTS OUT
ATTACKS UPON U. 5.
Austrian Paper Has Three
Large White Spots in Edi-
torial Denouncing Wilson.
VIENNA PRESS MODERATE

Vienna Via London), Feb. l1.-Goy-
eminent circles and the public general
lyview the delayed action of President
Wilson regarding the relations be-
tween Austria Hungary and the
United States as a somewhat favor
able omen and wonder if no rupture
is to occur. The newspapers, in a
majority of cases, hold similar view,
with the result that the tone of the
editorials is losing all its sharpness,
save in the case of few radical pa
pers, of which the Reichs Post, the
most prominent Catholic organ, is the
chief instance.
The Reichs Post had three large
white spots, inflicted by the censors
in an editorial attacking President
Wilson this morning. Judging by the
little that censors permitted to appear
the editorial must have been ex-
tremely rabid.
Do Not Commit Themselves.
All the other papers this morning
confined themselves to discussing the
attitude OF the other neutrals toward
the presidents act regarding Germany
and expressing the hope that the
American government would learn
therefrom that the central powers
case was not SO one-sided as the
friends of the entente would have
the world believe.
Several papers, knowing the gov
crnment's attitude in matters affecting
President Wilson's actions, refraineG
from committing themselves edi-
torially on that subject, taking up
the necessity OF fuel and similar mat
tiers instead.
The Associated Press learns that
| the Austro-H Hungarian government
yesterday instructed the military and
other public safety organizations that
the greatest possible courtesy should
be shown all Americans in any event
and that possible complaints by any
American should receive prompt at
tention at the hands of all the au-
thorities.
Case Looks Hopeful.
At the American embassy the opin-
ion was expressed this morning that
the case looked hopeful. At noon the
papers published, with apparent sat
isfaction, wireless dispatch from
New York to the effect that the
American government had not taken
real measures against German and
Austro-Hungarian shipping, reports of
which were widespread here. The
dispatch in question, which stated that
Washington had instructed the Amer
lean officials to proceed with caution
and courtesy, made the best possible
impression.
Emperor Charles has placed at the
disposal of the people for the distri-
button of fuel his entire stable equip
ment, in order that the coal which has
accumulated at the dcpots may be dis
tributed to the needy.

The Federal Trade commission,
which has furnished much OF the in
formation on which. the Department
OF Justice is taking action, announced
today that Francis J. Heney Of Cali
fornia has been engaged as special
attorney in the commissions inquiry
into high news print prices, and that
under his direction the commission
would continue its investigation after
a preliminary report is made TO con-
gress carly next week. Additional
data will be supplied to the Depart
ment OF Justice as fast as it is OBJ
tanned.
The report to congress, which was
to have been made Monday. probably
will be delayed for some days because
OF the illness OF one of the commits
sioners. 1t will be in the nature OF
an interim report and will cover the
efforts of the commission to find a
solution for an apparently news print
shortage and reliei for publishers
from almost prohibitive prices that
have obtained for about year.
Never Shortage.
The Federal Trade commission, it
is understood. will report that it has
found that increases in news print
prices within the year are from four
to twenty times the advance in pro-
duction costs. II will say there never
has been an actual news print short
age and that manufacturers have
helped create panic among publish
crs by intimating there was one.

temptation. Suppose, father, there
should come some crash in business
that would sweep away your little for
tune, and you should die leaving your
family penniless. Such catastrophes
happen often, and girls gently and de-
licately reared as yours are thrown
suddenly out into the world to sink or
swim.
If your girl has good trade at her
fingers ends, she will swim safely into
shore. But if she knows nothing on
earth to do that will earn enough
to keep body and soul together, you
know what is almost sure to happen
when her clothes are in rags, when
she is shivering with cold, when she
is starved and despairing
1t is the girls who have no skilled
labor to sell who sell themselves,
and their sins are on their parents
heads. Their parents could have
saved them by teaching them how
to make an honest living.
Girls should be taught some gain
ful occupation, because it gives
them self-respect to be producers
instead of MASTERS and spenders. 1t
makes them feel that they are of
some use in the world. 1t gives them
a broader outlook on life and turns
them from playthings into intelligent
human beings with an aim and pur-
pose.

it's fifty-fifty chance whether a
girl gets married in these days when
the high cost of living makes matri-
mony more and more luxury of
the rich. No parents can safely count
on handing over their daughters sup
port to some man.
Certainly the possibility of such a
thing does not justify a father and
mother in risking leaving a helpless,
poor old maid to either go to the
poorhouse or live around on relatives
in-law who don't want her.
But it does not injure girls
chances of marriage for her to learn
how to support herself. la increases

ten times the chances to marry that

By DOROTHY DIX.

There are millions of parents in
these United States today who are
wondering just what to do with their
Mamie or Sadie, who graduated from
high school last June. They have
neither the inclination nor the money
to send her off to college. They are
well enough off for her not to be
forced at once into office, or store, or
factory.
They don't want her to spend her
time gadding the streets with other
idle girls and boys, and so the prob
lem of what to do with Mamie's and
Sadie's superfluous time and energy
is a problem that keeps them awake
of nights. ,............... ..
Let me implore the parents of such
girls to settle the question in the only
right way by setting their daughters
to learn some gainful occupation by
which they can earn an honest living
il the need ever comes to them.
We women talk a lot about the
wrongs OF our sex, but every political
injustice and social injustice that has
ever been perpetrated against US sinks
into nothingness before the wrong
that our parents do us in not teaching
US some way to support ourselves.
They send us out into the world
helpless and defenseless. with no
weapon with which to protect our
selves. They put us at the mercy OF
poverty and cold and hunger and bru-
tai men, for these are the cruel lot
OF the woman in need who knows no
way OF making enough money to pro-
vide for her daily wants. II is the
crime OF all crimes, and that it is COM
mitted in the name Of love does not
PALATE it, nor change its effect
Life at best is full of chances. No
body can tell what few years may
bring forth Riches take wings and

often end in disaster.
No human foresight can altogether
protect girl against the contingent
cies of fate, but If we have trained her
to some trade or profession so that she
has in herself the ability and skill to
make decent living, we have at least
warded off from her the worst blow OF
disaster. We have given her an
anchor to the windward that will hold
her safe while the storm blows over
her.
