when the collision occurred said
Chief Smith.
The two boys were riding on a
motorcycle, on their way home
from a bonfire, about block
away from the scene of the acct
dent at 43rd and Union avenue,
In the automobile with Dr.
Mace were Ed A. Quinn, 6420
South Lawrence street; Sam
Blake, Tacoma police officer; Tom
Foley, manager of the Griffin
Wheel Co, of South Tacoma; A.
V. Thompson of the South Taco
ma Drug Co, and Harry T. Smith,
a printer. The men were return
ing from the boxing smoker at the
Eagles hall.
]. C. Mckay and A. L. Moran,
automobile men of 773 Commerce
street, were among the. most i'm
portant witnesses interviewed by
the police Thursday.
These men arrived at the scene
of the collision Immediately after
it occurred. They were going to
South Tacoma in an auto.
They declared that the fog was
so thick they could not see the
wrecked Mace car until they were
hailed by signals.
1.-THE combined speed of the
touring car and motorcycle was
at least 80 miles per hour" said
Moran. "I am positive of this
fact. I would say that the motor
cycle was travelling almost as fast
as the car"
Tracks on the pavement indi-
Gated that the touring car was on
the wrong side of the road. The
gas headlight of the motorcycle
was turned off by valve at the
tank.
So great was the impact that
the motorcycle was embedded in
the radiator of the auto. The
machine travelled 400 rect, or
more than a CITY block. after IL
struck the motorcycle. Brakes
were applied during the entire
distance.
Coroner Stewart would venture
no opinion on the accident Thurs
day but called an inquest for Sat
urday morning.
In the meantime, DR.. Mace is
pledged by the police to remain
in the city and to give himself
over to the officers at a moments
notice.
All persons in the auto insisted
that they were travelling slowly.
In an interview Thursday, DR..
Mace said:
81 was driving home in varv
thick fog. could hardly see | 3
feet in front OF the car. even
though | had my head sticking
out around the windshield in Or
der to see better.
Just before the accident. we
passed another car, which we
could see very plainly, as it had
Nights.
Just then a few feet ahead a
motorcycle without lights shot
out of the fog. If it had had
lights I could have seen It, as I
had seen the other car. Before l
could stop my car, or shut off the
power, we collided.
1.-THE lights were knocked out,
and 1t was some seconds before I
could stop the car. as the force
of the collision had kncked me
part way out of the car. Cropping
in the dark, finally reached my
gear handle. and stopped the
car"

HOW | DARKENED
MY GRAY HAIR
Lady Gives Simple Home Recipe
That She Used to Darken
Her Gray Hair.

For years | tried to restore my
gray hair to its natural color with
the prepared dyes and stains, but
none of them gave satisfaction
and they were all expensive. |
finally ran onto a simple recipe
which | mixed at home that gives
wonderful results. | gave the
recipe, which is as follows, to a
number of my friends, and they
are all delighted with 1t. To Z
ozs. OF water add a small box
Barbo Compound, l OF. of bay
rum and Il OF. of glycerine.
These ingredients can be bought
at any drug store at very little
cost. Use every other day until
the hair becomes the required
shade. 1t will not only darken
the gray hair, but make it soft
and glossy. 1t is not sticky or
greasy and does not rub off.

CRISIS IS
ON APACE

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-A
crisis in the present strained sit.
uation between the United States
and Germany appeared to be
drawing nearer today.
Two factors, at least, contribu-
ted to the feeling in official CIR
cles, that the break in diplomatic
relations now existing may quick
ly develop an even more serious
phase.
First was the official ver-
sion of the torpedoing of the
Anchor liner California, car
rying 200 passengers and
crew-including many wom-
en- and children.
Second, advices that Ger
many, contrary to all interna-
tiOnal diplomatic usage, was
Withholding issuance of
passports to American AM
bassadOr Gerard and Amcri-
can citizens, pending infor-
nation from Washington as
to Americas granting of a
safe conduct to German Am
bassadOr Bernstorff, as well
as to Washington's interpre-
tation of old Prussian trea-
ties.
The fact that the zone Ameri-
can aboard the California
John A. Lee of Montgomery, Ala,
mentioned as such in cable
from Consul Frost at Queens
town, was saved-may prove the
slender thread by which President
Wilson will hold to the existing
tacit peace with Germany.
There were some officials, how
ever. who admittedly feared this
thread would not hold. They
cited Americas frequent warn
ings that American lives must not
"be placed in jeopardy" by Ger
unlawful submarinings.
Great Britain and France to-
day granted safe conduct to Ger
man Ambassador Won Bernstorff.
The British government stipu-
lated that In returning home
Bernstorff and his staff should
touch at Halifax for examination
of papers.
This avoids routing the ship by
way of Falmouth and through
the German submarine area.
Bernstorff will sail on the

CHAPTER VII

There is a certain madness
which comes to people at certain
times and makes them forget the
whole world. In such a moment
Bowles had stolen a kiss-for the
first time in his life-and Dixie
Lee had forgiven him.
That kiss had meant great
deal to both of them, and they
needed time to think. So they
rode down to the hold-up-herd in
silence and parted without a word.
Dixie went on to camp, to rest
and care for her hurts; and Bowles
with a sad and preoccupied smile,
stayed by to help with the herd.
But the Jealous eyes of hate are
quick to read such smiles. and as
Bowles rode along on the swing he
was suddenly startled out of his
dreams.
Hardy Atkins went out of his
way to ride past him, and as he
spurred his horse in against his
stirrup he hissed:
"You leave my girl alone, you
blankety- blank" and went NUT
tering on his way.
