Congress Mum
On The .C.
l.. Now

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE second
session of the Sixty-fourth Congress
opened with bang-on the high cost
Of living.
Indications today are 1t will close
with the soft pedal on that selfsame
subject And nothing done about it.
The lawmakers have made no move
to disturb the slumbers of invesiga-
ticn resolutions introduced on the
opening day.
Among those that will probably
sleep on right through the closing
days of this congress Is the one intro
duced by Representative Boreland OF
Missouri. 1t directs the Federal Trade
Commission ito investigate and report
to the House the facts relating to the
production, marketing, and distribu-
ton of food products together with
any violation of the antitrust laws In
connection Herewith, and recommen-
dations for greater economy and efic-
iency in the marketing Of food pror
ducts and the punishment and pre-
vention of extortion in the prices

SAYS BLONDS DON'T LAST
AS LONG AS BRUNETTES

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. Listen!
Are you a blond! If so. goodbye,
for you won't last long. You may be
pretty, but you haven't got the staying
qualities of your sister with the raven
locks and olive skin. oh, no you are
not going to die tomorrow or anything
like that. You may even stick around
with your curly golden locks for a
few hundred years making the men
crazy about you and the brunettes
jealous of your charms, but Old Man
Science says you will have to leave
us Just the same, and that even today
you can't quite stand the gam like the
brunettes can.
"Give me the dark haired ones for
hard work." says the manager Of an
immense plant which employees wo-
men. "e
why? Well, they can keep on 60
ing when the rush orders come in and
the fair ones give out.
Dark hair, especially If 1t Is in
clined to be somewhat coarse, de-
notes the vigorous, intensely healthy
nature. The survival of the flttest is
slowly but gradually lessening the
blonde among US.
"Just as in the south, the brunette,
with her greater powers of resistance
against the heat and her more deeply
pigmented skin has always had the
best of the fray, so the brunettes of
more temperate chimes are gradually
getting the upper hand.
What about the red headed ones?
Oh, say, that's not a fair question. MY
wife Is red-headed, you know"

WHO HAS THE OLDEST
COINS IN THIS TERRITORY

ATLANTA. Ga, Feb. And now.
following upon the arguments about
old jack-knives and old razors and old
Wins, comes the question of who has
the oldest coins In this territory.
Triton started It by calling attention
to the fact that Captain Fred Virgins,
the veteran railroad conductor, had a
Greek coin over 500 years old. and
some of Uncle Sans own coinage dat
ing back to 1917.
Those coins are pretty old, but they
are mere babies In age compared with
some old pieces of money that W. B.
Seabrook, Of Atlanta, brought back
from France after his six months SER
vice at the front, and is now showing
his friends here.
He has one copper Egyptian coin
which was nearly as old at the time of
the birth of Christ as Captain Wig
gins Greek coin is today, as we'll as O
dozen or more Roman coins some two
thousand years old, more or less.
One of the most interesting is a
copper coin with head of Tiberius
Caesar who was reigning when Christ
was born and who became ignomin-
iously famous for his persecution of
the Christians. The head is clear-cut
as q cameo. A silver coin was made
in the reign of Julius Caesar and re-
produces the features Of the famous
soldier and writer whose book has
made so many schoolboys miserable;
another OF Marcus Aurelius, whose
"Meditations" are known to every
body. and, perhaps the most interest
ing of all, a coin showing the head of
,, Faustine, the unfaithful wife of A4ar-
Gus Aurelius, who was exceedingly
beautiful and deliciously wicked.
Can anybody IL this part of Dixie
beat that for old coins?

FRENCH SOLDIER PASSES
SPARE TIME TRUCK GARDENING

FRENCH FRONT. Feb. Like the
stage-driver who spent his monthly
day off in riding on an omnibus, the
French soldier when released for q
short repose from digging and guard
ing trenches passes most of his time
digging and hosing truck gardens.
All along the French front, around
the depots and the custonments and
even about the dugouts, The Associat-
e6 Press correspondent has seen ad-
mirably laid-out gardens. At
the beginning of the new year there
were 1922 of these plots under culti-
walton by French soldiers. and the
prodcce of these plots for the past
year is valued by the army authorities
at 100000 francs at wholesale
prices.
Nearly everywhere good results have
been obtained and passing through the
country parallel with the trenches the
correspondent saw on all sides we'll
tended and flourishing beds Of cab
bage. Brussels sprouts, lettuce, leeks
and other green stuff. Not only, how
ever, are vegetables of all kinds grown
by the men, but In some cases the
soldiers have initiated small breeding
establishments for the raising of do
nestle animals, and often while shells
are whistling overhead the chorus is
joined by squealing hogs and cackling
and quacking hens, geese and ducks
in styles and runs erected by the
soldiers.

AN AGED WOMAN
Tells How vinOl Made Her Strong

Tells How VinOl Made Her Strong
In her eighty-second year, Mrs. John
Wickersham, of Russeilville, Pa,
says: Il was in rundown, feeble
condition and had lost flesh. A neigh
tor asked me to try Vinol. and after
taking two bottles my strength re-
turned; / am gaining in flesh. it has
built up my health and am feeling
fine for woman of my age, so I get
around and do my homework"
The reason Vinol was SO successful
in Mrs. Understands case was be-
cause it contains beef and cod liver
peptones, iron and manganese pepto-
mates and glyceraphosphates, the very
elements needed to build up a weak
ened rundown system and create
strength.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark. glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking Of
any drug store for a so cent bottle Of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
POUND" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied You simply dampen
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 APP
plication or two, 1t becomes beautifully
dark and glossy.

pound is. a delightful toilet requisite
for those, who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for
the cure. mitigation or prevention Of
