READY TO CHANGE
OPENING DATES

New York, May Sin spite of Ban
johnson, Governor Tener and others
who favor early openings for the base
all season. it is evident that strong
fight will be made at next winters
lig league meetings fer a change in
the dates. The almost unbearable
weather which greeted the players
when they tried to open this year un-
doubtedly was the fatal straw. Five
or six magnates have expressed them
selves very strongly against another
opening during the season of uncer-
tain weather.
Charles H. Ebbets, president of the
Brooklyn club, is expected to lead
the raiding battalion in the National
League, and the New York club will
probably come out flatly in suppol t
of the change in the American league.
1t has been argued by both Ban
Johnson and Governor Tener that a
later opening date would gain nothing
because bad weather is just as likely
to strike in May as in April. 1t has
been pointed out that many clubs have
lost day after day in May because of
rain.
1t has not been pointed out by the
eXponents of the present system of
opening, however, that snow and cold
are as much responsible for double
headers laid over from April as is
rain. And when a baseball fan goes
to a baseball park and spends the aft
ernoon shivering he is likely to reach
o conclusion that his next visit will
be along about July 4. And a fan
once turned is fan almost unmade
One shiver is enough to take many
dollars out of the magnates' pOck-
cts.
The baseball fan doesn't mind if he
is deprived of baseball game through
rain, because that's expected all
through the season, but when mag
mates insist on playing baseball, de-
spite low temperatures, it-speaking
tie unvarnished truth-corrals his an
CORA.
Magnates, also are beginning to fig
ure how much money they could save
if they took their expensive employees
south later in the year and then
brought them back to a climate in
which they could play ball. 1t has
come to be regular thing for athletes
t. lay around long enough to lose
their condition and then acquire it ali
over again in the chilly atmosphere of
the major league cities.

HEREFORD CATTLE MEN
TO FORM ASSOCIATION

A meeting of all the breeders of
Hereford cattle in California has been
called for May 20 to June 2 at the
University of California Farm at Da-
Wis, for the organization of a Coast
Breeders Association. Because Of the
present high price of market animals
of the meat classes, there is a great
revival of interest all over the Pacific
Coast in better beef cattle. The Cali
fornia Shorthorn breeders have recent
ly organized and the response of~the
Hereford breeders to the invitation
to meet during Farmers Week at the
University Farm indicates that a
strong new organization will result.

NATION
TO DISCUSS DRAFT
(By United Press)

New York, May S.-The probable
effect upon the electric industry was
discussed today in an executive ses-
sion of the National Electric Light As
sociation here. The association has
abandoned it's plans for an immense
electrical show and convention at At
lantic City, June l.
The extent to which the industry
can redistribute its 100000 employees,
allowing men for the army and still
light and propel the ration, was the
major question brought up. Whether
rlen drafted should be assured their
positions on return from the army,
whether pay should go on, and pol
icy of pensions, were discussed.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur 1t Darkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using
it to keep their hair a good, even col
or, which is quite sensible, as we are
living in an age when youthful ap-
pearance is of the greatest advaha
tage. ss7i-'~r..s-
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" for
about so cents bottle. 1t is very
popular because nobody can discover
it has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or a soft brush with 1T
and draw this through your hair, TAX
ing one small strand at time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that.
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
Of abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation is
delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire a more youthful appear
ance. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease. 65
