When you darken your hair with

other ingredients, called ''Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" You
just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a

appears, and, after another application
or two, your hair 1ecomes beautifully
darkened, glossy and luxuriant
Gray, faded hair, though no dis

BETHLEHEM Steel Company READY
TOMAKERIG GUNS FOR DEFENSE

Big Lad" the wonderful 25,000-tOn
forging press, and after a few heats
the tube was ready for the latheS.
There was a time, only few years
ago, when the lathing and drilling ap-
pertaining to such a production took
many months. but through the :Aven-
ton OF rapid steelworking machinery
the work is now done in as many days
as K formerly took months. The time
for the finishing of the IS and 14-inch
guns will depend on emergency. II
there were enough orders, they could
be made quite rapidly.
Probably the most wonderful part OF
the big guns is the mechanism moved
by the firing apparatus, founded on
Napoleon's artillery table, the basis of
which is the old formula in the ele-
mentary arithmeties - 60 seconds
make one minute, 60 minutes make
one degree, and $50 degrees make the
circle-which means that second OF
the circumference of the earth at the
equator is only about 102 feet, so a
boat 800 feet long is an easy target,
and to hit church or cathedral is like
taking candy from baby.

BETHLEHEM. Pa.--The United
States, II is acknowledged, is not
especially prepared for war, bat it can
do speedy work, for there has Just
been forged at the Bethlehem Steel

United States navy
This Is the second Of these guns
made in this country. The first v as
also made at Bethlehem, in the rough,

and, after having been mounted for
some years as part Of the New York
coast defense, was removed to the
Atlantic entrance to the ?anama ca
nal. where Il is in good shape tC per-
fern effective service. Since then
there have been remarkable iuD-ove-
ments in the manufacture of dig ord
nance, as chiefly exemplif1ed by the
German 42-centimeters, commonly
known as the big Berthas." These
are in effect l6-inch guns. .... r. r..
At any rate, things came to pass
quite recently when the United States
government wanted 16-ineh guns OF
quick-firing modern construction, and
within 40 hours the first of these
weapons had been pressed and ham
mered out at Bethlehem. An army
gun OF rs inches is also wanted, and
that Will probably be forged at once.
There Is no difference in the diameter.
but the 16-inch navy gun is $40 iachea.
or 20 feet long, while the l6-inch army
bowitzer, more nearly a duplicate of
the German 42-centimeter weapon, is
but 300 inches. or rs feet long.
While the United States has started
off at Bethlehem with one 16-inch gun
for the navy and one 16-inch howitzer
for the army, there are also in the
process OF manufacture at Bethlehem,
and now being forged. rs 14-incn guns
for the navy, soon TO be mounted on
the new dreadnoughts nox nearing
completion. The 14-inch guns are 100
inches, or so feet long. AS to pro-

gun will weigh approximately a ton

WAR TRAINING

The country with the best trained
men and women is the country bes'
prepared for war. BEST trained
does not necessarily mean that the
men must all be soldiers. This wal
has taught us that the men not in
the army are a very potent factor.
Just as we need trained men in the
field we need trained men at home
Those who will not be conscripted
must be trained to do their share at
home.
The summer session enrolment
should be doubled because of the
war. The University is not picnic
ground. Men and women come here
to train themselves for better work
In war more than peace we need the
highly trained.
Tell your friends at home that they
can do excellent work for their coun-
try by taking advantage of the oppor-
tunities that the University offers.

VACATIONS THIS SUMNER

Arthur Brisbane says: IF you can
take your usual vacation this sum-
mer, take it. Do not believe the we'll
meaning idiots who tell you that it
is wise to economize and give up a
vacation
The all-important thing for every
American to do now is to keep him
self in the best physical and mental
condition, so that he may contribute
the greatest possible service to his
country. To do this one cannot look
always on the serious and dark side
or wear himself out physically by
many days of hard, tedious work.
Long life. good health and continued
work are more valuable to the coun-
try than the few dollars you would
save by giving up a vacation this
summer. You might be able to add
few working days to the country's
service by giving up that vacation,
but 1t is healthy, working years that
count now.
As Mr.. Brisbane puts it: Have
your vacation. get your exercise, get
your usual number of days out of
doors. live wisely. sleep long, exer-
else regularly" In these times.
Keep Fit" is a good motto for every
American.
