den plots in great numb bers, the men
doing their bit after working hours
in the evenings.
Interest Is Growing
The highways leading to the larg-
est garden plot in Bellevue Park
resemble parades in the early hours
of the evening, when the vegetable
growers make drive for the park
hills. Contrary to the general be-
lief, interest in the gardens is not
decreasing. but is growing by leaps
and bounds. All the available lots
have been out and Shirley B. Watts.
garden lot superintendent. is cast
ing around for more ground.
In Bellevue 294 plots 25X45 feet
have been given out. In this end of
the city two plots of an acre each
have been assigned to the Market
Street Baptist church and the Mes
siah Home. Plots larger than the
usual family plot were assigned to
plication for the ground. Four acres
have been used for this purpose.
Bellevue is busy spot.
He Couldn't Wait
Some of the garden plots present
the appearance of being far ad-
vanced, the early applicants having
finished the work up in short order.
some OF the gardeners are forcing
their plants with glass jars, but the
majority are allowing nature to take
its course. One of the skeptical
farmers yesterday dug up his po-
tatoes out of curiosity only to find
that everything was O. X. and that
their backwardness was due to the
! season.
An acre of ground has been do
mated to the Children's Industrial
Home. This plot will be supervised
by Mr.. Watts and his assistant.
SiXty-three plots 25x50 feet have
been assigned the farmers at Nine
teenth and Paxton streets. In all
three acres are under cultivation in
the east end A small plot of three
quarters of an acre has been given
out on the Hoffer farm on the Jones'
town road near Twenty and
Walnut streets. Six plots, totalling
oue-quarter acre, at Seventeenth and
Derry streets is under cultivation and
an acre and half at Reel and Divi-
sion and Sixth and Mahantongo
streets have been given to persons
anxious to decrease the high cost of
living.

METAL DISCS
FOR WATCHMEN
To Replace Red Flags at Rail-
road Crossings; Painting
Gates New Color

Red flags at railroad crossings will
soon be a matter of history. Metal
discs will be used. Black and white
gates are also coming into style.
1t has been decreed by the Pub
lie Service Commission of the State
that the red flags used by grade
crossing watchmen must 60. The
watchmen are to be provided with
metal discs about 16 inches in diam :
cter with the word stop" painted
on either side.
Samples of these discs were sent
to the railroad officials and given a
trial. They were found to be a mt
tie too heavy, weighing about flVe
pounds. Samples made of lighter
material were then sent and these
are likely to be adopted.
Metal Discs Next
For many years where 1t was nee
essary to employ watchmen at grade
crossings, red flags have been used
by the men to warn teamsters and
pedestrians of danger in crossing the
tracks. 1t is claimed that the flags
are not always distinguishable.
There are 734 crossings in the
State with gates and 633 at which
there are watchmen. This includes
all of the railroads.
1t is understood that the discs will
be sent out to the men guarding the
public crossings as rapidly as they
are finished. They will be made of
heavy sheet iron.
White and Black Gates
The crossings on the PennsylVa-
MIA Railroad lines will be protected
in the same manner. Another thing
is that the gates used at all crossings
are to be painted black and white.
This is now being done on the Read
ing, and many have had the colors
changed to meet the wishes of the
commission.
This is part of the program for
the Standardization of grade cross
ing protection, which the commits
sion placed in the hands of John f.
Dohoney, investigator of accidents.
The painting of all gates is to be
finished by the middle of July.

We're Arrested Here
Indicted in Pittsburgh

Local police to-day learned of the
indictment yesterday of Frederick
LeBrun, of Chicago, and Harry Mer-
Ger. New York. on a charge of using
the mails to defraud at Pittsburgh.
They believe LeBrun and Mercer are
the men of the same names who were
convicted in the Dauphin county
courts in January. 1915, for working
bogus check game. Mercer was
sentenced to from nine to fifteen
years in the penitentiary, and LeBrun
to six months in Jail. According to
advices from Pittsburgh the pair were
connected with the Peerless Wheel
Company, a Chicago concern with a
branch office in Pittsburgh. Four
others were indicted with them.

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
 DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Look years younserI Try Grandna's recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
 nobody will know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make 1t at home, which is mussy and trouble some.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" You will get a large bottle of this old time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a 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 ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully, dark, thick and glossy, and you look younger. wyett's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.
