the hair so naturally and evenly that no
one can tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have a surprise awaiting
them, because after one or two applica-

locks become luxuriantly dark and beau

While the city attorney yet tarried, it
developed that there is opposition in the
state Senate to the bill affecting the
board bills of delinquent, jailed taxpay-

Miscellaneous Matters.
Manager j. b. Eames of the Park
theatre isn't through with his efforts to
obtain relief for picture people from what
he describes as excessive license fees.
Mr.. Eames' appearance before the council
was preceded by letter in which com
parative figures touching upon license
fees in Vermont, New Hampshire, Mas
sachusetts and New York cities were set
forth at some length. Nowhere, it
seemed are theatrical managers paying
the 1928 yearly license that Mr.. Eames
is paying. In emphasizing his views, Mr.
Eames said he regarded the movie bust
ness as benefit to the city and referred
to the Park as a properly conducted place
of amusement. He said that the show
house is keeping people off the streets.
His protest was referred to the license
committee.
Just before the business session got
under way Alderman Shurtletf urged
whispered objections against the practice
of preparing committee reports without
the full consent of all committee mem
bers. 1t was assumed that the objection
was-aimed at Alderman Healy. his col
league in the water committee, who sub.
mitted a report later in the evening.
The council thinks that the grist of
wiring petitions presented each week by
the inspector is pretty small fry to be
taking up the time of grown men, mas
much as most of the wiring has been
before the reports are received.
The complaint carried with it no reflec-
ton on the inspector, who gave it as his
opinion that monthly report would suf

shalled by Representative Kitchin, have
announced their intention of pushing the
measure through by tonight if possible
Debate, which promises to be bitter, will
continue until 3 or 4 o'clock to-day UNI
der agreement.
The debate was opened by Mr. Kitchin
in long speech in which he put the re-
sponsibility for the necessity of new
revenue legislation squarely upon "pre-
paredness" and upon the Democrats and
Republicans alike. Every dollar of the
tax of last years bill and in this pending
bill was made necessary" he told the
House, "by your votes for the marvellous,
tremendous increase in army, navy and
fertilization acts, which the friends of
these increases euphoniously called pre-
paredness. You Democrats and Republi-
cans alike are responsible for the neees-
sity of some additional legislation" Mr..
Kitchin explained the features of the new
measure.
The most Objectionable feature from
the Republican viewpoint is a taxation
Of surplus profits of corporations and co
partnerships taxing profits above s per
cent after exempting the initial $4,000.
The reasons for the bill were said to
be decrease in the treasury balance I'M

tenn of profligate extravaganza in the
ordinary running expenses" series of
doubtful government enterprises, such as
railroads in the frozen north alaska;
nitrate plants in the favored south and
expensive ships for troubled waters 1.-THE
shipping billl; an unwise mingling in
Mexican affairs, involving two expensive
and fruitless expeditions, and throwing
open our ports through the Underwood
tariff.
"The unprecedented special taxes on
estates and profits in this measure" 1t is
said @unduly interfere with the states
leyying reasonable similar taxes for their
own governmental support"
The minority report scored the Demo
Gratis for extravaganza, asserted the I'm
derwood tariff law "proved failure" and
charged the bill is "a flagrant violation
of platform pledges"
"The course adopted by the majority"
was said, places the taxes upon bust

BLACK FRIDAYS.
First of These Financial Terrors Came
In London In 1745.

First Of These Financial Tsrrors Game
In London In 1745.
Several of the great financial panica
of the past have commenced on Fri
day, and this has given rise to one Of
the pet superstitions Of the stock ex-
changes and bourses of the world
that the sixth day Of the week Ia
fraught with Iii omen for those en-
gagged in financial operations.
The original BLACK Friday" occurred
Dec. 9, 1T45, in London. On that date
tidings reached the metropolis that the
pretender, Bonnie Prince Charlie, had
reached Derby with his forces. Lon
iloners Immediately made preparations
to fly from the city, and a panic pre-
vailed. 1t was on that occasion that
the Bank of England had its closest
call in its long history. The citizens
were anxious to take their money with
them, and the Bank OF England was
besieged by an army of depositors.
The bank escaped bankruptcy only by
the expedient of placing dummies" in
the line TO impede genuine depositors
and by paying bona flde depositors In
small coins, thus consuming much
time.
The first BLACK Friday" of latter
day financial history was In 1865 and
was due to the failure of one OF Lon
don's largest banking houses. Three
years later Wall street had BLACK
Friday" due to an attempt to engineer
a corner In gold. The worst Of all
BLACK Fridays was that Of 1879.
when on Friday, Sept. is, 1t seemed
that the whole financial structure Of
the new world had crumbled into ruins.

A WORD OF PRAISE
For Wilson's Mexican Policy From Eng
lish Newspaper.

London, Jan. 3l.--In an editorial prais-
ing the Mexican policy of the United
States, the Manchester Guardian says;
"To say that the whole country has
been reduced to order would be exagger-
ating, but the area of disorder has been
greatly diminished and is less than at
any time since the revolution against
Diaz. President Wilson's Mexican pol
icy has been guided by two principles--
determination to avoid the iingoist, who
is the cover of eapitalistic hunger, and
to allow Mexico TO work
out her salvation with as much help and
as little interference as possible from the
United States.
"The policy has difficulties and trials
which are not yet over, but it is begin
ming to be indicated by its fruits"
