BEAUTY HINTS
FOR YOUR HAIR
HOW TO PREVENT 1T FROM
GROWING GRAY.

There is no occasion for you to
look unattractive or prematurely
old because of gray, streaked with
gray, white or faded hair. Don't
let this condition with it's look of
age rob you of your youthful beauty
and the wonderful opportunities
which life offers. No matter how
gray, prematurely gray, lusterless
or faded your hair might be, LA
Creole" Hair Dressing will revive
the color glands of nature-promote
healthy condition of the hair and
scalp-and cause all your gray or
faded hair to become evenly dark,
soft, lustrous and beautiful. This
preparation is not dye, but an ele-
giant toilet requisite which is easily
applied by simply combing or
brushing through the hair.

With $500 900 of the goal of s5,ooo,-
600 still to be collected, directors of the
Jewish War Relief Campaign an
nounced yesterday at the last formal
meeting Of workers in the Hotel Bilt-
more that the drive would go over the
top by Saturday, the closing day
tribute was paid to Felix NJ. War
burg, chairman of the campaign, by
Louis j. Robertson, who said:
II do not believe the public Of New
York City realizes how long, labori-
ously, unselfshly and energetically the
chairman has worked in behalf Of his
co-religionists in other lands"
The 1000 workers present rose and
cheered Mr. Warburg.
The following telegram from Jo-
sephus Daniels was read:
II am rejoiced to know that the Jew
ish Relief War Campaign is meeting
with hearty response l have had the
opportunity of knowing something of
the sufferings of the Jews in the Near
East and sought by naval agencies to
alleviate it, | wish to add my word of

Mann Enters Race
For Speakerslnip;
Cillett Is Silent
Illinois Representative Saws
His Health Will Let Him
Assume the Burdens of
That Important Place
New York Tribune
WdStt,, atom Buron,,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-James r
Mann, of Illinois, Republican floor
leader OF the House, to-day ar
nounced his candidacy for the Speaker
ship. A similar statement of candidacy
from Frederick H. Gillett, of Massachu-
setts, is expected within the next few
days, although up to this time the
massachusetts Representative has de-
clined to formally announce his inten-
tons.
1t had been expected that Mr.. Mann
would not enter the contest on account
of considerable opposition in his party.
His health, it was expected, would pro-
vide an adequate excuse FOR his retire
ment from the Speakership race. The H.
linois Representative, however, brought
the situation to the status of what is
believed to be a bitter fight day by
issuing the following statement:
After a conference with Republican
members from Illinois l have decided
to be a candidate. My health has been
reestablished. 1t has been tested out
N the hospital, and I have been test
ing it out on the floor Of the House,
"The announcement Of my candidacy
meets with the approval Of the Illinois
delegation, and l also have been urged
by number Of other members of the
House to make the race"
The Illinois representative an
nouncemcnt Of his candidacy followed
a meeting of the Illinois Congressional
delegation to-day. which was attended
by seventeen of the twenty two mem
bers Representatives Mann, King,
Yates, Madden and Chinbloom were ab-
sent.
The absence Of Mr.. Madden from the
Illinois delegation caucus is considered
here as very significant. Some time
ago Mr. Madden stated that he would
be a candidate for the Speakership if
Mr.. Mann did not enter the contest.
Representative Gillett, the other lead
ing candidate, declined to make any
statement on the Mann candidacy.
The contest between Mann and Gil
lett may develop into bitter fight, in
which it is expected the Massachusetts
Representative would probably win out,
though the possibility Of running a
compromise candidate into the fight ia
being discussed in Congressional cir
