(From the St. Louis Star.)

(trom the St. Louis Star.)
 St. Louis society recently enjoyed it's first baby party" with Mrs. Julius S. Walsh, jr., as hostess, at the St. Louis Country Club. Cocktails were served in small milk bottles, with the usual rubber attachment which serves real babies.
 About 100 guests of the younger mar Tied and debutante sets were there, and every type of doll from the beautiful blue eyed baby doll" to sailor boys and Riley's barefoot boy.
 Mrs. Arthur Stickney, known to her intimates as Sally" was the barefoot boy, appearing in raggedy overalls, braced over her shoulders with one strap, and her bare feet stuck into old shoes. Her husband wore a long mighty" and night cap, and was the pal of Ned Ewing, who wore one of the foot warmer, pajama type of night dresses affected by small boys and girls
 Mrs Walsh wore long waisted white lace dress, knee length, and a blue bow in her hair Others were rich little girls, or mere play girls in romp- CTS. Knee length costume was worn by every one.
 A room was fixed up as bar, but the babies" to reach it were compel led to climb ladder and slide down a board, and to get out they also climbed a ladder and slid down board.

NORVIK HAS LATEST
 AND FURTHEST RADIO
 PLANT IN THE WORLD

The furthest north radio station on American soil now open and doing
 business is operated under the aus
 pices of the bureau of education at
 Norvik, on the Kobuk. This is the new native settlement established by the bureau of education on a native reservation made for that purpose. Last summer teacher who also un- derstood radiography arrived from the outside and with him was shipped a wireless outfit. Three days ago Nome was startled by the borean radio man sending down notification that his sta tion was in working order and asking for the news. The wireless man had had been erected and first thought that they were being strung by some smart Alec with a transmitting appa- ratus. After a while, however, they realized the fact In receiving a regu- lar message in due form from the Nor vik station. It is reported that the bureau of education has under con- sideraticn the erection of another wireless station at Barrow, whereby regular communication through Nor vik may be had with this point on the Arctic ocean and Nome and the out side. Any important news matter which might be well to make known from the north could then be trans mitted from Barrow. The scheme will likely see realization some of these days, and radios will be common as a rancher's phone outside.

NORWAY IS MAKING
 MILLIONAIRES FAST

A correspondent who spent IA months in Christiania and re- turned lately, gives a vivid descrip- tion of the abnormal conditions in the Norwegian capital created by the war, in the Richmond Virginian.
 "The conditions in Christiania to- day are very much as they were in Bucharest before aRoumania entered the war" the correspondent says. Gold flows in streams and fortunes beyond the dreams of avarice are made in a few days. Men who six months or a year ago did not own the clothing on their backs and hardly knew where their next meal would come from, now roll in wealth. All Norway is in the midst of an insane, fantastic adventure and has but one thought-to make money and still more money
 "The 'goulasch barons,' as the spec ulators furnishing foodstuffs and other necessaries to the belligerents are called, are in evidence everywhere. Their luxurious automobiles make the streets of the capital unsafe and their princely steam and motor yachts cruise in the fjords and bays. Palaces riv- aling those of Paris, London. Berlin and Vienna are growing out of the earth.
 "The cafe of the Grand Hotel has become a kind of annex to the stock exchange. Day and night the place is crowded with Norwegians, Danish and Swedish spectators and agents of foreign governments. Around the little tables, loaded down with cham pagne bottles and delicacies from all parts of the world, deals amounting daily. Everybody talks in millions.
 That is one side of the medal, but the other looks different. The cost of living has become so high in Chris tiania that not only the poor, but also the middle classes suffer severely. Money is too plentiful, and has lost it's buying power
 "The result is that the prices of all foods and other necessaries have risen so enormously that only the wealthy can pay them. Rent, food clothing and fuel are much cheaper in half starved Germany than in Nor way, although the latter country is at peace with all the world and piles gold upon gold"

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Try Grandmother's Old Fa-
vorite Recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make il at
home. which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a large
bottle OF this old time recipe improved
by the addition of other INGREDIENTS
TOR about 80 cents. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as IL does II so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with II and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully. dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.

TRACES EVOLUTION OF MAN
Geographic Society Hears 3. M.
Baumgardt Describe Progress.

Tracing the evolution of man from
the primitive to the heights of our
present civilization, describing the
series of epochs in the history of the
human race, each with its civilization,
and showing how each period of prog
gress has been followed by retrogres-
sion, but swith a forward movement
always, B. r. Baumgardt, National
Geographic Society, interested audi
ences yesterday with his lecture on
'The Romance of Human Progress"
The site of each civilization was
illustrated with slides in natural col
ors. Mesopotamia, the cradle of our
race, was pictured, and the magniti-
cence of Babylon described. The pyr-
amids of Egypt, sphinxes, and the
ruins at Luxor told their mute story
of the development and fall of the
Egyptians. In contrast was shown
the Woolworth building, New York,
and other great structures of stone
and steel
He described the civilization of
Greece and the achievements in art
and architecture of this highly devel-
oped people. The Romans, he said,
were the militarists of their day, but
gave to posterity the foundation of
law. The Moors, who fiourished on
the tip of the Iberian peninsula, lived
in palaces, he pointed out, when
northern Europeans were still wear
ing clothing made from the skins of
wild beasts. But these people, after
contributing much to the worlds
of agriculture and mathe-
matics, capitulated to Spain, and
were driven across the Mediterranean
to Africa
The leFurer paid a high tribute
to the printing art by declaring this
invention overshadows all others in
its influence on civilization. Other
marvels were pointed out to prove
we are living in the greatest age of
the worlds history.

little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab
lets. They cause the bowels and liver

ROOSEVELT STARTS
ON Big FISH HUNT
Wants to See DeviIfiSh Caught
OFF Florida Coast by
Planter Friend.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Major Gen.
Theodore Roosevelt-one might as
well get used to adding that title to
his name now or else somebody Will
be committing an unforgivable faux
pas by sIapping on the familiar but
lowlier appellation of colonel after
the Oyster Bay division goes into ac-
tion-Major Gen. Theodore Roosevelt
has gone South.
The reason for the hegira is that
one Russell ]. Coles. of Danville. Va,
has been telling the Col-beg pardon,
the Major General-about the delights
of devi1fshing off the Florida coast.
MIR. Coles is a tobacco planter, but his
hobby is hunting for man-eating
sharks, corralling devilfish. batting
stingrays and angling for barracuda
and other fighting denizens OF the
deep and briny.
Conceals Destination.
General Roosevelt listened to the
siren call and yesterday at o'clock
he took a train at the Pennsylvania
station, bound for "some point south
of the Mason-Dixon line" That was
as near as he would describe his des-
tination. He doesn't want to be both
cred with interviewers during his
trip. But lest it be thought that he is
going to turn hermit just when 1t
looks as though the Oyster BAY di-
vision might begin to look up a time
table to Europe he explained that he
will be back in New York within ten
days.
BY that time Congress will have
nd NHn Ao1
tain very definite expectations con-
corning what Congress will do when
it meets. He did not make any threats
as to what he will do to Congress il
that body disappoints him; he merely
announced that he will be back on
April 2 or 3-ready.
I'm going down with Mr.. Coles to
Florida to see him hunt devilfish and
sharks" the major general grinned.
Originally had intended to spend
month there and induce him to teach
me how to hunt them, but now 1 shall
only be a locker on, as plan to get
back by April or 3, when Congress
will have convened.
organizing Work Goes On.
Il am going away because at the
moment there is nothing I can do
here. All of the arrangements which,
without Government action, 1 can
make as regards my division and its
organization work are progressing as
far and as rapidly as possible"
But even II General Roosevelt says
he is only going to be a locker on,
bets are general in Oyster Bay that he
will have a harpoon in his hand and
a devilfish on the other end of 1t
two hours after the hunt begins, and
that Mr.. Coles will be sitting amazed
